I watched Operation Dragonfire. I haven't seen that since I was a kid. I was surprised how well that mini-series was produced. The animation quality is pretty good. And I was also shocked that it used a lot of the Sunbow music cues.

Then I watched the first episode of DIC Season 1... the animation quality takes a big dip. Yes, it's more slapstick compared to the Sunbow series but I'm enjoying it.

(And yes, I'm aware the original GI Joe series has it's silly moments like Red Rocket Burgers and Cold Slither )

Ah, there are different Micro Force packaging with more figures inside. This looks randomly packed but at least you can see which ones you're getting. This has Zombie Cobra Commander!

At WonderCon, I was flipping through original art and came across a page from GI Joe #109 by John Statema. It's the page where Tomax and Xamot misunderstand Cobra Commander's order resulting in GI Joe executions.

It was relatively affordable and I picked it up!

I forgot to post this after WonderCon.

There was a booth with boxed GI Joe vehicles. It was an incredible display because they had the Defiant ($3000), Mobile Command Center, and the USS Flagg ($7500).

It turns out it was for a reality show about a toy dealer. I didn't realize it until I was staring at the boxes and they were filming me. It was pretty funny.







Then last weekend, I saw this USS Flagg for sale at a toy show. It looks like it's seen better days.

I'm a sucker for mystery boxes/bags as I've posted before. I saw these GI Joe figures by Loyal Subjects. They sort of look like those Mighty Muggs from a few years go.



I could not resist and bought one on a lark. I was about to walk away. The clerk is a big Joe fan and asked me to open it in the store. I opened it and immediately recognized the Cobra Commander's gun, so I was pleased to get a popular character.

I opened the sealed bag inside and was surprised to find a hooded Cobra Commander. The clerk freaked out because it's the rarest figure offered in the line.

Quite a cool line of collectibles!
