    Dude’s nose

    I’m sorry, but is it just me or does the new baroness look like a cross dresser? It’s a dude’s face under the makeup and long hair. Once I saw it I can’t unsee it 🫤

    Evel Knievel Stunt cycle 1/12 ish…

    I got the original stunt cycle for Christmas around 1974-75. When these were released in the late nineties I bought one, however it wasn’t the same quality as the original. Fast forward to this new release and the quality is amazing and the bikes jump just like the original bikes. This...

    1/16 scale Coolbank RC M5 Stuart Tank

    This is the latest RC model by Coolbank in 1/16 scale. I placed it beside a 21st century toys M3A3 Halftrack in 1/18 scale and they work well enough for me. When I saw this thing advertised I thought I would turn it into my own version of the “Haunted Tank” with Jeb Stuart. The tank commander is...

    Evel Knievel

    So California Creations is releasing another improved stunt cycle. I had to preorder because they had me with the nostalgia thing. I got my first one in 1976 and have bought the reproduction they offered in the past which was close enough to the original to have fun jumping GI Joe vehicles.

    1998 Trendmasters Apache Helicopter

    Another helicopter added to the force. This isn’t a true 1/18 scale by a couple miles but I got this GI Joe figure to fit comfortably in the pilot seat with the canopy closed so that is a win. It apparently was designed to catch Godzilla in a movie from the 1990’s and includes a weighted net...

    Unimax Bravo Team M3A2 Bradley secured

    I finally added a Bradley to my motor pool. All the hatches are still there and none of the road wheels is missing. With shipping it’s taking 81 clams out of my toy budget. There were a couple boxed ones but there was a lot more clam digging involved. Besides, I hate destroying a MIB item. I...

    Bruder found in the wild

    So today I’m killing some time and wander into a local thrift store and found this lonely Bruder 1/16 scale truck sitting by itself on the floor in a stall that was devoid of any other toys. The price was $21 so I pounced since it looked clean and again it looked lonely and in need of a good home 🙂

    Tractor Supply Sale 1/18 Jeep Wrangler

    Just a heads up, I found this at my local tractor supply at 9.99 on clearance. I haven’t had time to take it out of the package but I opened the front passenger door and fit a joytoy figure in the seat. The seats are made low enough to fit a medium sized figure and look normal. Back passenger...

    1/12 scale GI Joe custom head

    This isn’t my work and unfortunately I won’t be able to find out who the artist was. I picked it up on eBay as is to use with this jeep. I’m going to change out the uniform eventually to something more ww2-Korean war looking, like the original 12 inch GI Joes. Might have to get a trailer with a...

    Palitoy Action Force 3.75 figures

    While walking around my local thrift store today I stumbled across these two guys in a sandwich bag for 99 cents with their original weapons and backpacks (not pictured). There’s no knee or elbow articulation but British children didn’t need no bending joints 😉

    Joy Toy WW2 German at BBTS

    Just a heads up, I just ordered this preorder at bbts, I ordered one german and one us GI. The us GI is now no longer available so I must’ve gotten the last one. The German is still available. $19 for these is crazy cheap.

    Tamiya 1/16 scale M551 Sheridan

    Is it just me or did this model just come down a lot in price? I have seen this listed for 1200 bucks online and now I am seeing it on eBay for 1/3 its old price. Do any of you guys have this model or have you seen it in the wild to have an opinion on it? Edit *** I see also that this is listed...

    WPL B36 interior conversion -wip-

    Hot dog, I finally received these 3d printed accessories from ebay, I was thinking about adding some interior to my RC WPL radio truck, B36. I wanted to give it a little FDC (fire direction control) vibe. I’ve seen a picture of one of these trucks with heavy cables running to a trailer towed...

    Chap Mei Soldier Force “Wiesel”

    Digging around in the top layer of dust in my shed I came across this little jewel from several years ago. It’s equipped with what appears to be recoiless rifles. I’ve inserted a picture of the real vehicle with a T.O.W. Missile Launcher for comparison. The BBI figure in one picture obviously...

    Modern Texas Ranger/CFT on preorder

    I was in on the Kickstarter but didn’t get crazy on the line after it came out. But this figure is one I’ve had my eyes on since they first announced it. Today I was able to preorder on the Chicken Fried Toys website. Hopefully this will make it before Taiwan smacks the Chinese too hard and sink...

    WPL’s Radio control 1/16 E1/ GAZ 71

    For anyone interested in this tracked vehicle by WPL, I finally got mine a few days ago in the mail. I’ve painted the cargo canopy dark gray because it came bright white. I may be able to get a smaller figure in it, but I will have to cut out the floor area to fit. I may just pop a figure in two...

    Radio Shack M551 Sheridan 1/24?

    I never knew this existed until I stumbled across it on eBay (home of lost treasures) looking for a RC Sheridan. This is listed as a programmable battle tank, whatever that means. I jumped on it because it looks like it has potential. Anyone here have one of these or known the true scale?

    Observations about scale 🧐

    I have two grandsons, one is 4 1/2 and his older brother is almost 6. For Christmas I got them both 4 inch GI Joes from the retro collection and also one each of the 6 inch Joes (Duke & Flint) They already had some 1/18 scale and GI Joe vehicles like the awe striker and other brands that fit 4...
