This is a very random bunch of thoughts based from my collecting of GIJOE: A real American hero figures and vehicles. Contained here are memories, experiences, recent thoughts, completely random thoughts, and other random things on top of that. While one company has made, and makes, our shared interests, we all add into that interest with our own creativity. You, the reader, will find many, many, excellent sites among the links to see what other GIJoe fans are doing, hit them up! For GIJOE stuff that is more random in topic, you'll find it here.

Blast from the not-so distant past at BBTS

It has been some years since BBTS dropped their vintage department.   I really like checking in there to see what might be new.   I am more of a vehicle fan in toy collector origin and even still.  

Kind of a refreshing thing to see a couple "vintage" vehicles on the page after so many years.  I have no real need or interest in these Battle Force 2000 vehicles but I they are tempting.    If other similar condition Battle Force 2000 vehicles could be had so that the Battle Fortress could be assembled, I think I might go for it.  Well, depending on the price total, too.  


Mace



Years back when I had the Comic Pack Clutch figure I thought it was a nice body on that figure.  I thought I had mentioned this on here but, despite being quiet, the HQ is still in existence even if it is deep underground and rarely visited (or, it's in the basement and I just haven't had the opportunity to do much with it lately, regrettably.)

However, back to the story.   So, I really liked Clutch here and didn't give heavy consideration towards Mace.  But I had to get Mace and check out the original figure in person. 

Take away the wild spring-action launcher on the helmet this is a solid figure that to me fits in with the D.E.F. angle.  Or expanding on that, Mace was a figure that felt like a great agent of sorts that could work with Chuckles.

Either way, I enjoyed the figure while I had for the relatively short time in my collection.   The yellow highlights were the only thing I just didn't care for.
