And now for something a little bit different.
Well, maybe not that different.
I recently had the honor of being a juror in an awesome list, The 100 Best Action Figures of All Time, over at UnderScoopFIRE – a blog dedicated to the children of the 80s.
It was a melding of toy minds. I had the honer of collaborating with these fellow toy lovers:
- Howie Decker – co-creator and editor of UnderScoopFIRE.com and host of the 100 Toys podcast.
- John Vanover – admin of tvandfilmtoys.com, his collection is broad- with an emphasis on Star Wars and other movie franchise toys.
- Justin Bell – admin of GeneralsJoes.com, contributor to the G.I.Joe Collectors Club Newsletter, member of the What’s on Joe Mind? Podcast.
- Rob Buzan – author of Joe A Day, a great blog that provides exactly what it promises. Owner of every 3 3/4 inch G.I. Joe figure from 1982 to present.
- Justin Gammon – yours truly.
Not only did we have fun compiling a flawed list, but you can now listen to our discussions and criticism of the list (and each other) at the UnderScoopFIRE podcast.
Oh yeah, one last thing. To be clear – whatever toys you love on the list were my idea, and whatever toys you hate on the list were totally not my idea.
Enjoy!!
Awesome, I’ll have a listen!
Thanks for sharing this! I had a blast doing it. Thanks again for joining.
Nice post, now we know them…
Aw, this was a really nice post. http://www.weirdotoys.com is really good. In idea I would like to put in writing like this additionally – taking time and actual effort to make a very good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and by no means seem to get something done.
This baby I just got is kinda expensive and sure worth it.
