G.I.Joe was and always been a fun toy to play with. Especially if you have a lot of them in your collection.
However, Kenner uses a method called O-Rings, which basically use a rubber band to connect the torso and waist so they can twist around.
This is a flexible and cheap method to do this, as oppose to ball joints and stuff. The bad thing is; rubber tend to wear down dude to stress and age.
When I open my collection again after 14 years in a box, most of them either have broken O-Rings and or loose O-Rings
note: O-Rings are basically rubber seal for plumbing that you can find on hardware store, I buy mine in a pack of 50 for about 0.50 usd :D

After a long wait, I finally got my Universe Cyclonus as a late (VERY late) birthday gift, last week (this shows how lazy I am in updating this blog, lol).
Very Fine figure, a homage to G1 Cyclonus in both alt-mode and mech mode. Articulation is not so bad at all. Also comes with his target master partner, Nightstick.
Nightstick is a mini-con sized figures that can transform into Cyclonus hand gun. He have a pretty limited articulation, as good as any other mini-cons.
Enjoy the photos :)

I do think the 1st Arcee is better looking and more flexible. Most people thinsk that even with one wheel, the ROTF Arcee can not fall because of the included stand. This, however, is not the case.

The First one is a bit better though
Comparison with Figma

to no one surprise, the bikes fits better with figmas, the bad thing is that each figma is a scale on their own depends on the series

I have a lot of toys since I was little, a lot of them, as kids usually do, were largely under appreciated because we treat them just as that, Toys, we play with them until we're bored, or we got a new one and we simply ignore the last one until it's gone missing without we notice them.
AS we grow older, we finally appreciate toys not just as 'toys' but as something worth collectable, and some sort of art. I guess this is probably because the toy industry kinda enter the modern era in 1980, where I start playing with them, and grow up with me, and as I grow older, I start to long for the simple old times and miss those toys I have.
