    Lancelot's January 2016 Banner

    Here's my amateurish attempt at green screening an explosion in gimp. I like to name it the oh-so original title "Drive it like you stole it".

    Question about Hiss V treads

    I got this Crimson Hiss a year or two ago because for some reason it got way better distribution (or at least in toys r us it did) than the POC black one that probably looks better. Anyway, the treads on the right side of the tank seem to be defective on mine. It doesn't have the pegs that the...

    Retaliation Jinx sucks.

    It is only appropriate and ironic that the G.I. Joe team member named Jinx has had bad luck in the action figure realm. Not only was Jinx chosen to be two different highly expensive SDCC exclusive figures, but her one contemporary figure that was suppose to be available for retail is also...

    Kit bashing Neo Vipers.

    So I've been experimenting with the three or for ROC Neo Viper bodies that have been laying inside a box full of joes for years now. I like the old 25th Anniversary vipers, but they're kind of lame standing next to some the glorious stuff from the POC and 30th lines. On top of that their arms...

    Restoring old Kenner figures?

    So, as most of you probably don't remember, I'm the guy who still has all his old Kenner Jurassic Park figures from the 90's. Well, most of them are fine, but one in particular has a really loose arm. Unlike vintage G.I. Joes the old Kenner figures don't have a screw in the back, and only have 5...

    Joes need more articulation

    I know it's a bad tme to be advocating more articulation considering Hasbro has been rather intent on limiting as much articulation on all of their 3 3/4" figures as possible, while jacking the prices up as much as possible, ripping off parents and collectors alike for the past couple lines. I...

    I feel alienated.

    I looked around several stores in the corner of my state. No Joes. The movie comes out in less than a month, and only 2 Walmarts have made space for the toys, and of the two, only one has bothered to stock any, and they're already sold out. I know they won't put anymore up. All of the Walgreen's...

    Loose leg syndrome?

    I was getting some scuba gear on my ROC Ship Wreck figure today, which I hardly ever mess with, when his right leg suddenly went limp and was bound to the will of gravity, thus making it impossible for him to stand up very well. Then I remembered that I have several figures that suffer the same...

    Russian M3 Half Tracks?

    I want to know more about the Soviets use of the M3 Half Track during WW2. How many did they get? What weapons did they put on them? I also want to see pictures of them because Google Image search is only showing me American variants. I also would like to know how hard would it be to turn...

    What's up with JSI?

    What's their story? I haven't heard any news from them in a while. They're as quiet as No-Go toys. The last thing I remember hearing was something about some thefts in China. Did that seriously knock them out of the market?

    Vests for Low-Light

    Something that has always troubled me, is the fact that POC Low-Light is completly unable to not just hole his own fall apart gun, but he is also unable to hold any guns in a reasonable manner. When I take the vest off of him, he can hold any weapon you put in his hands, but those bulky arms...

    How are the Maisto Hummers?

    I have been noticing these Humvees on Ebay by Maisto, and they look nice, but I do not know how compatible they are with 1/18 action figures. Do any of you guys have a Maisto Humvee? If so I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

    Painting Vehicles. How do?

    I finally took some black Krylon Fusion Spray paint to the hood of that GI Joe Humvee that Hasbro reused for the Hulkbuster vehicle. It did not turn out exactly as I imagined. I think I either used an inappropriate paint, or forgot to take some sandpaper to the thing. I don't know, why don't you...

    The status on Unimax?

    What's the story about those guys? The last thing I remember hearing was the apparent release of a HUMVEE that wouldn't have opening rear doors (dumb) but everytime I've been to target for the entire year, all I've seen were empty pegs at first, and then no pegs at all, the space for military...

    Any Gundam MSIA collectors here?

    I know some of you have some Gundam stuff, whether it be MSIA, models, or Robot Damashi. I'd like to see what other peoples collections look like. Here is most of my collection. Zaku I Zaku II Gelgoog Kampfer, Zock, and Dom Battle Scared GP-02 and Zeong...

    WWII German Soldier Ebay lots, wtf?

    Some guy on Ebay has been selling large lots of German soldiers and such. It's weird because judging from the pictures all of their accesories are either gone, wrong, or sold seperatly. I think it's the same guy who has been selling lots of Star Wars figures in lots of five. Where is this guy...

    Micro Machine Alternatives.

    I love Micro machines, especially the military stuff. It just goes so well with your big figures of Godzilla or your Gundam stuff. Even zoids are close enough to scale to stomp them. Having these massive little mini wars in your room as a kid was also bad ass. Being a nostalgic retard like...

    dusting off the toys

    How do you guys dust off the old dust queens in your collections? I just took a look at some of my 1/18 WW2 stuff and noticed that my Unimax Sherman does not take dust well, whereas the 21st toys Half-Track seems to hide the layer of dust on it better? I don't want to dump the things into a tub...

    Figure to vehicle scale.

    I've been thinking about getting a 1/16 scale RC tank. Preferably a Russian design, although a Pershing, Walker Bulldog, or Sherman with a 76mm long barrel would be awesome too. My only problem is not just the scale of the 1/16 scale tank in comparison to my already established collection of...

    Hazard Viper vs Techno Viper (half-assed review)

    I typically don't army build, I will squad build every once in a while with Cobra troopers or close quarters oriented vipers such as Alley vipers or Shock troopers or whatever. But then there are some vipers that I really only need one of because they're such a specialist in a highly technical...
