Super Cute G.I. Joes on Opposite Day!

Today is Opposite Day! G.I. Joe is so awful that I hate it. Here’s the G.I. Joe team done by artist Bob Guy (that’s NOT a generic name if I ever heard one!). These drawings are totally not cute and they’d dumb.

P.S. You suck.

Ecto Coolness

I’m pretty entertained when things I like that aren’t Lego make it into Lego. As usual, this Ghost Buster’s Ecto-1 has caught my attention and I must share it, because it is awesome. More here.

Tiny Emperor Lives in our Memories

Back in my youth I had an insatiable appetite for Star Wars, particularly the toys from Kenner. The mail-away figures were quite popular in my household due to the fact that I didn’t have an exactly affluent upbringing. Don’t get me wrong, we weren’t on food stamps or anything like that, I just wasn’t one [...]

She-Ra, The Return of a Really Cool Toy

One of the most highly anticipated toys for the last year or so is now in our household, the brand spanking new Masters of the Universe Classics She-Ra. I know what you’re thinking, isn’t She-Ra for girls?! Well sort of, but the She-Ra in question actually belongs to Babette, so stuff it. Still, if there [...]

The Coolest Jungle Gym in the Galaxy

I know this one has already made the rounds, but I was so amazed by it that I had to share it here again. This jungle gym is inspired by Return of the Jedi in that it’s got a friggen speeder bike for a swing. Other nice touches are the “computer” and the futuristic styling [...]

And the Winner of Totally Awesome Free Toys is…

It’s time to wrap this puppy up! After saying I was going to give out some free toys, people came out of the woodwork to get their hands on the Hasbro awesome. I made a few new buds on Twitter, so that was a sweet cherry on top of this whole thing, but in the [...]

Battle Cat is Battletastic

I don’t want to be one of those people that’s like, “Hey, look at my awesome toy! I’m a geek!” on this site, but sometimes I have to break the rules. Here’s the new Battle Cat made by Mattel in it’s Masters of the Universe Classics line. He’s sweet sauce on top of rocket cake. [...]

Book Report: G.I. Joe Above and Beyond

G.I. Joe: Above and Beyond by Max Allan Collins
Book Report by Vincent
I recently finished reading G.I. Joe: Above and Beyond by Max Allan Collins. Babette purchased for me based on two factors, the first being that she knows I love G.I. Joe and the second being that Snake Eyes is all up on the cover [...]

Friday Roundy Uppy: Return to the Valley of the Chainsaw Armed Dinos

Word to your mother! Friday Roundy Uppy is back with some more linkage and thought bombs in your face!
Item: I’m a little surprised by the rather large response I’ve gotten to the contest so far. I guess I’ve underestimated the love you people have for free toys.
Item: Speaking of contests, Articulated Discussion is giving [...]

Toy Ads that Time Forgot: Pie Face!

The following article previously appeared on my defunct toy blog:

Out of all the stupid toy ads and on all of the internets this has to be the dumbest. This ad for Pie Face is astoundingly bad:

What’s more fun than getting the pie in the face? Aside from the obvious answer (everything), one could say… uh… [...]

My Birthday and Christmas Wishlist

It’s an annual tradition of mine to make a big list of all the stuff I want and for all my readers to fight over who is going to buy me what, because I know you are all trying to compete for favor and need a leg up. This year, I will continue the tradition [...]

Best of Toy Bender: Happy Birthday Magic 8 Ball

In the interest of bringing you great new content at Robot’s PJs and me being lazy as hell, here’s an old post I did celebrating the birthday of the Magic Eight Ball a few years back. Enjoy!

Wow, it’s hard to believe that the Magic 8 Ball has been around for 60 years. Who hasn’t [...]

G.I. Joe: A Real American History

The following article was original published on a toy collecting blog that I wrote for. Please note that while G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero is currently older than 25, this is a neat little history of the line.

For many, the name G.I. Joe conjures up memories of Kung-Fu Grip, big bearded action figures, [...]

Friday Roundy Uppy: I’ve Got a Ticket to the World

How about a late round of Robot’s PJs approved links and thoughts? Yeah, I thought you were dying for some.
Item: If you follow my work, then you probably have already heard that the preeminent toy blog that I ran is now dead. If you haven’t yet seen my post about it on Poe Ghostal’s blog, [...]
