It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these video reviews. I finally bought the Ninja Commando 4×4 recently, and got a wild idea to do a video. It actually surprised me. Check it out…
Read moreby Twitziller The Patriot Grizzly was part of the second series of Built To Rule sets which debuted with a limited release in 2004.

The Rock Crusher’s primary mode is an assault quad (a one-person, four-wheel ATV) in the tradition of such vehicles as the 1988 Tiger Paw, the 2002 Assault Quad, and the Tiger Claw A.T.V. from 2011. The included figure is the Joe team’s

I’ve had so much fun setting these up into fun displays and actually playing with them, I don’t want to undo all that to do the reviews with what came in the box.

The Comandos Helicóptero was part of the 2009 offerings, and the whole set is special to me, since that year’s con was held in my hometown of Kansas City. My
