Is it too soon to cover one of these again? I don’t care, because I’m too fascinated by them. Sorry folks. I’m sure the feeling will pass eventually and I’ll be back to the usual mix of the ridiculous and the sublime in a more familiar scale. For now though, it’s Yo Kre-O!
Quick Kick distills the essence of both the vintage figure and cartoon versions, from the headband and smirk, to the painted bare feet. I guess he can still traipse around barefoot in the Kreon arctic. There’s a sword, nunchaku and three shuriken as well, and the sword can store in his backpack. More importantly to me, he’s also equipped with a Frozen Fudgee Bar, probably the coolest nod to the Sunbow toon that I’ve seen in a GI Joe figure since Radioactive Snake Eyes.
Continuing with coverage of the SDCC exclusive Construction Commandos set, we've got the villainous side today. Destro and his Iron Grenadiers are ready to take on the Marauders in brick form. It's interesting to note that the Grenadiers are making appearance in Kreon form for a convention exclusive, as in…
I'm more than a little surprised that Hasbro dipped into the post-1986 well with the last of their Kre-O line. Considering that the bulk of the minifigures represented the first few years of the 80s (the sweet spot for many Real American Hero era aficionados), those of us who wanted…
No matter how many Kre-O figures I cover, or how long it is between them, I still enjoy revisiting these little guys. They're just pure joy to me; nice little blocky breakdowns of the toys I loved as a kid. The class of 1986 was the last set of Real…
I think that Frozen Fudgee bar would be small enough to fit into the hands of regular Joe figures, AND be in-scale. Someone ought to do a pic of either the original Alpine, Bazooka, and Quick Kick holding these, or the 25th Anniversary versions.
For many years, my only Joe cartoon was a copy of LASER IN THE NIGHT. For nearly twenty years i hated QUICK KICK with a passion. Now i dont think he is taht bad. If they included the chocolate bar then why not a laser whip or a cosmic graffiti laser
I don’t collect Lego-like figures, but I gotta say that Frozen Fudgee Bar is impressive. The guys behind this line clearly did their homework and love the whole RAH universe.
I can’t wait to get me some of these. No sign of them up here yet though.
