One & Done - SOGMASTER

"Those essential vitamins and minerals in your cereal won't mean squat when I reduce your breakfast into a fine sludge!  Good morning!!"


COBRA CEREAL-RUINER - SOGMASTER

    The G.I. Joe Team uses many different ways to keep their Team operating at top performance - plenty of rest, exercise and eating a well-balanced breakfast.  Nutritionists at Joe Headquarters had created a breakfast cereal made with "wholesome wheat and rice as well as nine essential vitamins and minerals".  They called the cereal - Action Stars!

    The Joe Team loved it and it was a perfect start to their mornings.  Unfortunately, Cobra Commander is willing to strike any area that could potentially damage the G.I. Joe Team!  Nothing is beneath him.  He could not allow the Joes to be in great health and spirits.  Luckily for him, he knew a guy...


   The evil Leader of Cobra reached out to a battle-hardened warrior who was used to dealing with cases such as this!  Enter - the SOGMASTER!  

    Various sources claim his real name is Squish, but his constant attacks on breakfast cereals everywhere quickly gained him the title of Sogmaster.  The cruel Sogmaster had the ability to saturate cereal with milk so that it becomes a disgusting glob of inedible mush.  Cobra Commander pulled him away from his current battle with Captain Crunch and tasked him with turning his attention the Joe's new delicious cereal.

    The Sogmaster figure was small in stature and had no articulation.  He was made with all silver plastic and the only decos on him were his ghostly face and the controls on his chest.  The sculpting is well done.  You can see his milk-cannon hand and what looks like jet-pack details on his back.  Sogmaster came with no accessories.


    I vaguely remember getting the Sogmaster, obviously in a box of cereal.  With no articulation and adding in the fact I never tried G.I. Joe Action Stars - he had no real place in my battles.  So, he just had a place on the top of my mirror... and there he stayed for many years.  Later as an adult collector, he was relocated to my "miscellaneous" shelf.  My son, Tucker, hated the figure, calling him "creepy".  So the Sogmaster often laid face down on the shelf so that he was out of sight and out of mind.

    The figure for the Sogmaster is okay.  There is no articulation and no accessories, but the sculpting is nicely done.  He is certainly an interesting figure to have in my collection.  I would give the Sogmaster a rating of 2 Out of 5 Bowls of Nasty Over-Saturated Honey-Nut Cherrios!!!

    So did you have the Sogmaster?  How did he fit into your battles against G.I. Joe?  Did he ruin your cereal or creep you out?  Leave a comment below!
