My first impression of the GI Joe series was very positive, but Kwinn and Baroness show off impressively accurate Sunbow summation designs. It's hard to tell from pictures, but something about these toys just captures that classic 80s animation feel.
And another thing I need to bring up about this batch of ReAction figures - great accessories. Every figure comes with something at the very least, and Sardaukar comes with more accessories than they can hold.
And all of the figures pictured here can securely hold their weapons - something that can't be said about all ReAction releases.
Speaking of Sardaukar, the David Lynch version of Dune isn't a perfect movie. But it's an extremely memorable one. And I can't pass up a figure from a Lynch movie. Now Super7 just needs to make an Eraserhead baby and we're set.
I'm always raving about the sculpts on these toys, and I realize that might seem outlandish - especially compared to some of the gorgeous Banpresto statues, Figuarts, and SIC figures that I show here - but the beauty is in the subtly. Little decisions, efficient textures and proportions make these stand out among many other companies' attempts at retro figures.
They look just as much like classic cartoons as they do retro Kenner action figures.
I wish I had the time to draw and doodle more to feed all of you 💔 but umumum I noticed that there just isn’t enough Cobra Commander content so here’s my personal interpretation of him. May be my own version ig but basically I combined lore from both the 1987 movie and the two comics in a way? Kept him being human thing but also the idea of him being in deep shit with an ancient alien race is funny to me. Also bonus a whiteboard doodle from like waaaay way back in December and I am not ashamed of putting him in that pose >:)c I wonder if I should give him back the mustache
