It's about time we give Alexx his own section so here it is. I hope to see him fill it up soon. You can reply to his topics but you cannot start your own thats what Mission Debriefing is for.

Well done and very deserving. Hasbro should give you some sort of incentives as you have changed my mind on several occasions and I ended up buying something I wasn't going to. :shock:

Keep the reviews coming!

Thank you! Very much! Now I've got a place in my two favorite joe sites! I'm glad everyone enjoys these so much, and that the reviews have actually changed a few minds! That was my original idea, actually, but every so often I've just done a review because I love slapstick gags and bad jokes (possibly the same thing, to some). Most of all, though; I just love toys. They've been my little actors during my whole childhood (and then some) and it's cool to be able to drain some of the visual gags that have filled my brain over the years and be able to get them across to you folks, even through bad photography! Someday I'll be able to get super clear shots like the reviews here and on General's Joes.
OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

Hi I just wanted to thank Alexx for all of these fantastic reviews. Down here in Australia the Joes we get in stock are rather limited so I often find myself buying things from overseas and having them shipped out, and I can not tell you are important these reviews have been in helping me make my choices. It's hard to decide if something is worth the postage and handling from America when you can't physically see it, but your reviews are so comprehensive that it's the next best thing to standing in a toy store with it infront of me.
So thank you and keep them coming!

Man, I didn't know that bad jokes and toy pics would be so helpful. Glad to be of service! Hopefully the ones I've rattled on about the most don't end up disappointing. I can be pretty excitable when I really like a figure!

Sorry! I was stuck with a math class (first one of my last two to finish this stupid, useless degree) and now that I'm finished I've been looking back at the other figures I never reviewed. I'm torn between wanting to do them for fun, and feeling like it's kinda useless now that they aren't in stores (or hard to find). Here's what I got backed up:

City Strike Duke
Jungle Ripcord
Night Adder
K-Mart Four Pack
Resolute SE
Nano Viper
Rhino vehicle
...The Pitt (though that's gona be a huge review for something most people have probably either decided to skip or buy already).

So whatdoya think? Should I get back on the job? I've certainly got the time now, and when the new guys start rolling in I KNOW I'm gona get bit by the bug again, so that'll toss these guys even farther back. You and the rest of the folks interested?
OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

Alright, I start up next week! Can't say how fast they'll come out, but I do need to pick it up for the new stuff, anyway.

And hey, who can resist that babyfaced Emperor?
