GI Joe Kre-O Ninja Temple Battle Review Snake-Eyes & Storm Shadow

Posted on by

Kids love ninjas. Hasbro loves ninjas. GI Joe fans… sort of love ninjas. If there’s one thing that the GI Joe figure line has had more than its share of for the past decade-plus, it’s ninjas. Yeah, everybody loves a good ninja–but not everybody loves dozens and dozens of ninjas. So, though the GI Joe Kre-O Series 1 Blind Bag figure set is largely composed of ninjas, Hasbro has thankfully limited the larger GI Joe Kre-O sets just one: the subject of today’s review, the GI Joe Kre-O Ninja Temple Battle (AKA The set you have to buy if you want the G.I. Joe Kre-O Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow figures)….

GI Joe Kre-O Codes Number List Series 1 Figures Case

The Real American Hero is BACK, baby!! And this time, he’s come in an awe-inspiring adorable form: G.I. Joe Kre-O! I haven’t bought a G.I. Joe toy since that terrible movie that I loved but everyone else seemed to hate (no Ripcord in the sequel? What gives, Hasbro?!), and I didn’t expect to purchase any G.I. Joe toys again. But then Hasbro hit me where it hurts–blind bags! I ran into a case of the new G.I. Joe Kre-O Blind Bags Series 1 figures this week, and knew I’d be bringing home the whole case and a list of the G.I. Joe Kre-O codes to share…

LEGO Chima The Lion CHI Temple 70010 Toy Fair 2013

Yesterday I talked about the biggest vehicular set in the LEGO Legends of Chima 2013 theme–Worriz’s Combat Lair 70009–but I cheated a bit, as I purposely sidestepped talking about the focus of today’s spotlight: the real largest LEGO Chima 2013 set, the Lion CHI Temple 70010! The Lion Tribe’s Lion CHI Temple was front and center in the series premier of the Legends of Chima cartoon, and it will also be the centerpiece of this year’s LEGO Chima toy collection…

LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter & Kamino with R4-P17 Minifigure

I own a three-foot tall R4-P17 Astromech Droid Trash Can. That’s the kind of guy I am. And yes, I’ve lied in bed at night more than once, kept awake by the knowledge that I don’t have a proper LEGO Star Wars R4-P17 Minifigure in my collection (because, again–that’s the kind of guy I am).

So when I heard that the 2013 LEGO Star Wars Planets Series 3 sets had finally begun hitting my area, I didn’t flinch when I had to drive for two hours to visit my three closest LEGO Stores to find the LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter & Kamino 75006–a set finally giving me a LEGO R4-P17 minifigure for my very own…

Though we’d seen fairly comprehensive leaked images of most of the LEGO Lord of the Rings sets that would be unveiled at the 2013 Toy Fair beforehand, one set that we hadn’t gotten a clear look at yet was the hotly-anticipated Rivendell-themed Council of Elrond set!

We’ve known since before the release of the very first LEGO Legends of Chima sets last month that only five of the six tribes were going to be represented in the first LEGO Chima series, and that we would have to wait just a little bit longer to get our first glimpse of the LEGO Chima Gorilla Tribe minifigures.

LEGO showed off several LEGO Legends of Chima Gorilla Tribe sets and minifigures, including the awesome Gorzan’s Gorilla Striker 70008…

Yesterday I talked about two of the three LEGO Iron Man 3 sets coming out in March, and today I’m back to finish the job. The LEGO Iron Man Malibu Mansion Attack 76007 summer 2013 set is the largest of the LEGO Iron Man 3 movie sets, the most expensive, and includes the most minifigures. That said, even this LEGO Marvel Superheroes set is a long way from flawless…
