GI Joe Roadblock ver 2 Action Figure

I posted a while ago about the 1984 released Roadblock action figure from the GI Joe Real American Hero series of toys by Hasbro. Well, in 1987 they re-released Roadblock with a new body design and head sculpt. Roadblock was one of my most favorite characters from the cartoon series, so I just had to have the second version of Roadblock when it came out.

GI Joe Airtight Action Figure

Released in 1985 by Hasbro was the Action Figure Airtight from the GI Joe Real American Hero line of 3.75 inch action figures. In the figure card at the back, Airtight's description is listed as Hostile Environment.

GI Joe Roadblock Action Figure

Released in 1984 by Hasbro is the 3.75 inch Roadblock figure from GI Joe Real American Hero. Roadblock was always one of my most favorite characters from the cartoon series. Chiefly because I liked his disposition and the rhyming nature of his speech. Helped too that he carried a Browning 0.50 cal as a weapon *snicker*.

GI Joe Destro Action Figure

Released in the early 80's was the Destro figure by Hasbro for their GI Joe Real American Hero line of 3.75 inch tall action figures. GI Joe was one of the toys I loved as a child growing up and served as one of the major pillars of my childhood.

Yet another beautiful Transformers transforming toy from the Leader Class line of Hasbro/Takara-Tomy.

Leader Class: Sentinel Prime

Leader Class: Sentinel Prime by Takara-Tomy/Hasbro from the recently released Transformers:Dark of the Moon Movie. In the movie, Sentinel Prime was one of the Primes that crash landed on the dark side of the moon that according to the fictional account of the movie was what set off the race to the moon. He was voiced by Leonard Nimoy who also voiced Galvatron in the Transformers movie that came out in the eighties.

Cobra Jet Pack

Released in 1987 by Hasbro for their GI Joe toyline was the Cobra Jetpack. The toy didn't come with a figure. I always considered this to be the upgrade to the old Cobra CLAW that Cobra used for infiltration. In the literature it was a one man jet pack armed with machine guns and air to air rockets.
