Sideshow is Trying to Kill Me with a Ninja

by

The good folks of Sideshow who generously donated to the big Toys for Tots contest are trying to kill me. How? Well, they decided to announce the pre-order date for their latest 12″ scale Joe figure and it’s the one I’ve been waiting for: Storm Shadow.

Gee, what impeccable timing! Storm Shadow is the one 12 inch Joe from this line that I was guaranteed to buy outside of a lottery winning and it comes just after I lose my job. If only it had been before December when life was all unicorns and bottomless bags of Sun Chips.

Seriously though, Papa friggen need this toy. I may have the line on a possible temp job that just might come in time for this thing. Besides, as a responsible toy blogger I really should buy Sideshow’s Storm Shadow right? I mean, for the good of blog and the you readers who I’m sure would be dying to know what it’s like owning one or something.

Man, my justifications are weak sauce. I’ve got to think of a way to get my hands on this lovely Storm Shadow… maybe I can convince some inner city kids to win a dance competition or something.

    well, you only need one kidney… Or you could have a contest where the winner has to buy you one :)

    Oh my god, that’s the greatest contest idea ever.

    I dunno man. These look sweet, but then what? Ultimately you pay a crapload of money and get a nicely made Ken doll with sweet accessories. They aren’t action figures, you know?

    This is the rationalization, by the way, of a man who makes just enough money to collect the 3 3/4 inch figures, and not nearly enough to drop 120 bucks on one item.

    But when/if Sideshow makes a Flint…we’ll see how strong my resolve is.

    When Sideshow makes a 12″ Zartan, I will come around to your house, write myself into your will, and then murder you. Right in the neck.

    And by “you,” I really do mean you - the person sitting there reading this right now and thinking “he can’t mean me, I just got here and read this.” Yes, you. I will do that to you, to get the money for my Zartan…

    It looks really cool. If you really want it just buy it. Its not as if there wil be lots of nice Transformers coming out as the movie toys are complete crap. All I am collecting now is MOTUC, NECA TMNT. I will get some G.I. Joe hall of heroes. I am taking a break from Transformer collecting.
