Wow... Over two years since my last post

Same basic excuses. Facebook and Instagram are too easy and I've gotten lazier in keeping up with this blog. 

I thought that I would comment on my list of 12 items from my last post. Only the ones that are needing to be revisited.

Number 5: Thanks to Joe Biden, Obama is no longer the worst President ever. Obama drops to #2 far behind this cognitively impaired basement cadaver. I'm now viewing Trump, in my own JoeVerse, as the outsider intent on unmasking the Cobra infiltration into the government of the USA. Plus, the drunken old hag didn't get her righteous turn, so Trump had to be destroyed.

Number 6: still a horrific example of Cobra disruption into society. My pronouns are Kiss/My/Ass.

Number 7: Marauder still kicks ass. 

Number 11: holy shit, I totally blew the call on this one. I'm hooked. I'll list the Classified figures that I've purchased sometime soon. Hopefully not two years from now. I didn't buy the HasLab Classified HISS tank, so I'm not totally hooked.

Number 12: Still true. Odd how his woman gets convicted of trafficking in under aged girls and yet no clients are mentioned. "They won't release the client list, because they are the client list."

So maybe I'll try to get this shitshow going again. No promises. 

Hell, I'm hitting 60 years old in nine days. That's going to be worth a few posts. 

Wrapping up time! #LetsGoBrandon

A Very Basic Outline

If you've followed this ridiculous blog, first off... Thank you! 

 You may have an idea about my ideas and thoughts concerning my fictional "Toy-verse". If you know me from Facebook, you probably have an understanding of my political views as well.

So let's see if I can set up a basic outline of my toy-verse.

1. The 80's era of GI Joe is largely disavowed, or reduced in importance. The brand and concepts needed to be brought into the 21st century.
2. Most of my GI Joe era starts in the very late 90's and rolls on through to current day. GI Joe is made up of Persian Gulf conflict veterans and active duty personnel.
3. I'm generally conservative politically. No, I'm not automatically a racist/bigot/homophobe/whatever. You may not like my views, but I still have my First Amendment freedoms. I think.
4. While the comics and cartoons influence me, the largest influence on my world view is GI Joe Renegades, primarily due to the idea of Cobra being a dominant force in American, as well as global, culture.
5. I think Obama was one of the worst Presidents in modern history. Bush was no angel either. Trump? I'm still trying to figure out how he fits in my world view. he's nuts, but he's a Washington outsider and that's important in a Cobra corrupted government.
6. The current unrest in this country is largely exacerbated and exaggerated by a Cobra complicit media. Not really too hard to not believe.
7. What is the difference between the GI Joe team and the MTF team? GI Joe is officially a part of the US military, while MTF is a privately owned entity.
8. GI Joe was reduced in its operations during the Obama administration. Sorry, it kind of applies to the actual toy line.
9. Some former GI Joe team members work for MTF.
10. Odd alien 1/18th figures may pop up from time to time. Blame Dr Mindbender!
11. The 6" Classified figures are cool, but overrated.
12. Jeffery Epstein didn't kill himself.

That's a real quick general outline of my "world". like it or not, this is the way my mind is working right now.

Pre Order Figures

Towards the end of last year, Marauder had an opportunity for customers to pre-order various figures. Some were contract ops bodies and some were agency ops bodies. I think...

I procrastinated for a bit and finally decided on five contract ops bodies. Due to this whole COVID19 shenanigans, the pre-orders were delayed, and then delayed again. We've finally received some good news that the pre=orders will finally ship sometime in mid to late July.

So here's the bodies that I ordered. I've got a few heads ready for them and some gear, but I think I'm going to have to reevaluate the equipment that I've got on hand and figure out what else that I'll need to order.

The blue shirts could potentially be Cobra agents? Maybe? I suppose I'll have to write up a general outline of the "world" in which my tales are set. Soon...
