From the mind of Llucz!
Do you remember The Professional? This was likely the first film I ever saw with a young Natalie Portman. Even back then, I knew there was going to be something very special to come out of this movie. I just had no idea that it would come from our own insane genius, llucz!

Beachhead
Why is Beachhead here? Because he’s in my top ten of favorite Joe’s.
Crazylegs
Something about Crazy Legs has always appealed to me. Maybe its because he’s from my home state.

FROM THE DESK OF STEEL:
Welcome to another Riveting Review where we’re going to take a look at the Mattel All Star “52” Series 1 Batman figure.
I am a HUGE Bat-Fan and admittedly wasn’t happy with the idea of a reboot, so much so that completely avoided reading any of it until just a few weeks ago. That said, I have become a fan of most of the characters thus far, especially with Batman.
This latest figure depicts Batman in his “52” gear, which has more hints of armor than prior versions of his costume with the exception of the Azrael era. I personally like the look of the armored gauntlets, boots and chestplates, but we’ll get to these comparisons later on.
From the desk of HobbyHobbs:
“PoC Snow Job could have been the jewel of the line if ya ask me, with ALL those accessories. I’ve always felt he was a CORE character, especially when the toy line was very young, he was THE arctic trooper in the Joe ranks.
So where did the PoC version go wrong? That re-damn-diculous head on top of the fig! And the jacket that killed 50% of his articulation. A precursor to the Low Light fig I guess.
Well, I addressed BOTH the head and that jacket in my custom, and like I said – I finally am done with it, and I love it.”
I.C.O.N. invites you to participate in the custom vehicle and figure contest.
From the desk of Steel: CM Punk and his straight edge life style have brought on a whole new era in the WWE. Check Out CM Punk’s latest figure in the Mattel’s Elite wave 16. Also, see the comparison between the wave 11 version and the current version!

Regardless of how certain of our members feel about other sites, or how certain members of other sites feel about our hallowed halls, some items cross boundaries and words need to be spoken. It is with a heavy heart that I report on the disbanding of the Mercenaries. Starbuck (the first MERC) brought this to our attention via a neutral facebook group (I am not naming it out of respect for SB, in case the group shouldn’t be named), and I wanted to pass it on here.
As many of you know, Flint and I met on the MERC team, and the very foundation and principles of OG13 were constructed on the common bond that all of us former (and current[now former]) MERCs shared. When I joined the team, Uninvited Ghost has the unglorious job of leading the team. I say unglorious, because until you have lead them team during the game, you have no idea how much work, stress, and sacrifice goes into it. Flint and I joined the team command as Captains, and pulled our final two games as Co-Leads, sharing in the duties while being assisted by Zarana (wondrapost!) and Samuntrus. After we left the team, Sammy took over and did a great job in recruiting and keeping the team together on spit, glue and prayer. All of us sacrificed for the team, because at the core, we all shared the same philophies on brotherhood and family. It is those philosophies that we brought with us here, to create OG13. Â
I do not know if team MERC will receive a glorious sendoff. I do not know if they will be thanked and recognized. I do not know if they will join other teams or form a new one. What I do know, is that they deserve a rich, well-earned, and earnest round of applause, a salute, and bro-hugs from each and every one of us. Had there been no MERCs, there would be no OGers. So to every one of you that I served with, please accept these words as a tribute, and as a thank you. You were my brothers on the battlefield, and you are my brothers in life.
Special thanks and honour to: alcinde4, bvh, byrnes, chief cwo, cobralalalala, darkseid83, dawbanger, dealer destro, drunknmunky, flint (071), icewolf, jericho noleski, kingbio, kingsurlycrab, kiwiflint, laurenluna1977, lody, lowlight27, lucard123, marine-73, mister-x, provost, roxxstar, samuntrus, sonofmindbender, starbuck, svt_cobra, templar baggins, tofuninja, uninvited ghost, van hammer, zarana
If I missed any of you that I served with, I am sorry. It is not that you didn’t make a difference, because you ALL did.
You Contract is now complete.”
