This toy is DA BOMB! It is tons of fun to play with the miniature Edgar Allen Poe action figure. It fits with the same scale as all my GIJOES. That means that it goes great when you are having a big battle against Cobra: The Enemy in your bedroom (or even in the bathtub).

When I play, I pretend that Duke took a bullet and went down, and Edgar Allen Poe took his place as leader. This fits perfectly with the GIJOE story. EAP then goes on to fight Cobra, until it ends with a final showdown between him and Storm Shadow. Edgar Allen Poe uses his ninja skills to kick Storm Shadow's rear, and then goes on to destroy Cobra Commander in a one-on-one duel.

To handle Destro and Zartan, Poe simply commands his Raven. As they move in to attack, the raven shouts "Nevermore!" and then swoops down to pluck out their eyes. (Eye-plucking is quite effective in battle, by the way.) Then as Cobra: The Enemy is destroyed, all the good guys shout, "YO! JOE!"

And finally, we find out that Duke wasn't really dead, but was simply in a coma. So Edgar Allen Poe gracefully relinquishes command of the troops, and vows that one day, should he ever be needed to fight injustice again, he shall return.

So basically, what I am trying to say is that this toy is a lot of fun. Buy it today!

E.A. Poe was a gift from my girlfriend. Sadly, a day after I got him, he was perched on my Completed Works of Poe, situated on my desk, when he fell a few feet, the raven breaking from his shoulder. With a little super glue he was right as rain. I wouldn't play with him roughly, but he's fine if you want to have a tea party with Faulkner and Hemmingway. Seriously, how can you deny the sheer awesome that is this action figure?

An Edgar Allan Poe ACTION FIGURE! This is ultra cool. Listed on the back is "Weapon of Choice: Morbid Rumination", along with interesting facts about Poe. That fact someone made this is interesting; my 23-year-old son bought it for me as a Father's Day gift. Unlike Clint The Cool Guy (who actually sounds quite cool) I haven't taken mine out of the package yet. Cool to have, cool to display, cool to play with, and apparently goes well with GI Joes.
