    The Story of Snake Eyes: The GI Joe Silent Commando Who Stole the Spotlight! Before he became a pop culture icon, Snake Eyes was just a budget-friendly mystery man in a plain black jumpsuit—no paint, no voice, no face. But what started as a cost-cutting measure quickly became one of the most compelling characters in all of G.I. Joe lore. From his humble 1982 toy debut to his heartbreaking comic arcs, ninja rivalries, and unfortunate movie missteps, this deep dive explores how a faceless, voiceless action figure became the heart and soul of the franchise. Whether you're a toy collector, comic reader, or nostalgic '80s kid, this one's for you.

    The Story of Storm Shadow: From Cobra Ninja to GI Joe LegendThe Story of Storm Shadow is a tale of honor, betrayal, ancient ninja clans, and... flooding? In this video, I dive into the evolution of everyone’s favorite white-clad warrior, from his modest but historic toy debut in 1984 to his rich comic book lore courtesy of Larry Hama’s storytelling mastery. We’re slicing through cartoon battles with Spirit and bald eagles, sneaky comic book reveals, and live-action adaptations—some awesome, some... nanomite Eiffel Tower-level disastrous. Whether you first met him in a toy aisle or on the page of GI Joe #21, there’s no denying that Storm Shadow’s journey from villain to hero is one of the most compelling in the entire Joe universe. Let’s unsheathe this ninja’s complicated legacy—no shuriken to the face, I promise.

    The Story of the Jinx: GI Joe’s Bad Luck Ninja with Blind Bad Ass MovesThe story of Jinx is one of bad luck, blindfolded beatdowns, and blazing red ninja fashion. Debuting in 1987 during a golden era of GI Joe, Jinx broke barriers as the line’s first female ninja and instantly left a sharp impression—both on toy shelves and in animated brawls. From her sparring sessions with Beach Head to her tragic fate in the IDW comics, Jinx’s journey spans bo staffs, blind masters, and more costume changes than a fashion show on a stealth mission. Whether she's the cousin of Storm Shadow, the apprentice of Snake Eyes, or an action figure with manicured nails, Jinx is far more than just a streak of bad luck. She’s a fan favorite with a flair for silent takedowns and under-the-radar legacy. Let’s dive into the red-clad saga of GI Joe’s most lethal lady ninja!

  • GI JOE: THE STORY of NINJA FORCE
    Jun 9 2025

    The Story of Ninja Force: GI Joe’s Neon Ninja Era of MadnessFor many GI Joe fans and collectors, the story of Ninja Force is one of color, chaos, and pure 90s toyline absurdity. When Hasbro was desperately throwing everything at the wall to keep G.I. Joe alive, they landed on the hottest late-night rental trend of the time—ninjas. But not just any ninjas—these were fluorescent, spring-loaded, missile-launching martial arts maniacs like T'JBang, Dojo, Nunchuk, and even a tank-driving Storm Shadow. From “real ninja action” like the Samurai Smash to code names that sound like discontinued energy drinks, Ninja Force was Hasbro’s wild attempt to beat those damn Turtles and Power Rangers at their own game. In this deep-ish dive, I take a fresh look (as someone who never owned these as a kid) at the Joe team’s most outrageous sub-line—examining the figures, filecards, and WTF design decisions that made Ninja Force both ridiculous and unforgettable.🌀 It’s bright.💥 It’s loud.It’s G.I. Joe... ninja-fied.

    The Story about the Evolution of Megatron Toys: From Trigger Crotch to Tank Commander!Megatron has transformed a LOT over the years—sometimes into a gun, sometimes a tank, sometimes… a car? In this second part of my Megatron deep dive, I blast through the many incarnations of Megatron toys from G1 to Masterpiece, from grungy Siege tanks to stylish Alternity Nissans and Nerf blasters in disguise. I’ll share which ones earned a spot on my shelf, which ones got the "hard pass," and which Megs had me questioning my life choices (looking at you, MP-05). Whether you're a GEEWUN purist, a CHUG collector, or just want to hear me rant about trigger crotches and orange barrel tips, this one’s for you!

  • Making A Megatron
    May 5 2025

    Every great hero needs an equally epic villain—and when it comes to Transformers, they don’t get badder (or more misunderstood) than Megatron.

    In this deep dive, after a lot of dodging, I'll finally tackle the twisted, tragic, and kinda poetic rise of the Decepticon leader—from Cybertronian miner and reluctant gladiator to warlord with a vision (and a fusion cannon). Whether you're into G1 nostalgia, IDW lore, or just love a well-done villain arc, this is the Megatron origin story , straight from The Toyshelf. Just don’t expect a toy rundown…yet. 😏
