Transformers Hero Mashers Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Grimlock, and Maybe Starscream.
The next group of Hero Mashers are out, and Transformers are their game. These are nice as they stay close to the original classics with a few pulled from various other times. They are similar in build to the Marvel, with maybe removable hands this time as well. Optimus Prime and Megatron mid sized sets are pretty fun, with lots of extras. These are worth picking up a few, and maybe some Marvel too, to build some pretty crazy stuff. If you are not into mixing, some make really good stand alone action figures too.

Micro Land World of Nintendo Mario Bros. U Layer Cake Dessert
Micro Land World of Nintendo Mario Bros. U Layer Cake Dessert, whew, thats a lot of words to write! I am still a sucker for these awesome sets, to be able to rebuild and custom a video game level in toy form is a great way to spend your day. The 2"x2" tile pieces work perfect here. The only complaint is price, as about 12.99 for a small and 19.99 for a deluxe. Even more off, is the mini builder 3 mini-figure packs for like around $6.99. I saw a kid today at Toys R Us with one mini fig pack, probably all his money spent on that. Made me sad, buy some Legos or something kid, you will get more out of it! With that said, the tile sets is where its at. :)

Team Hot Wheels The Origin of Awesome Twin Mill, Baja Truck, Quick N' Sik, and Bone Shaker
Team Hot Wheels the Origin of Awesome is, well, AWESOME! If you have not got a chance yet to see the new show, I think its on Netflix for a few more weeks. Its a pretty good show, with good animation, great computer animated cars, and funny jokes. Like Power Rangers for Hot Wheels or something. I am no Hot Wheels history master, but the cars are all classics, and are perfect choice for the shows characters. Find em and drive em!

Hex Bug Warriors Transformers Age of Extinction Optimus Prime vs Galvatron
Looks like a nice crossover with Hex Bug Warriors and Transformers, and it makes perfect sense. I always enjoy a little battle arena with the bugs too. Galvatron's batteries were just a little too strong for a fair fight though. I like the little spike wings off of Galvatron. Fun fun!

Max Steel Power Orb Launcher Figure from Mattel
This toy is a little older already, but it looked kind of fun for a review. I think Robot Monster Space Super Hero might like it for the limited articulation too.

Hot Wheels Let's Go Racer kart Crossover for Lego and other Brick men
Last week I came across the Hot Wheels Let's Go Racer kart, and have been constantly switching out who is the best figure to ride it. It fits the little Lego men, pretty well for not being a Lego product. There is some slipping on the pegs, and a little bit of a trick locking hands onto the rail, but its still a fun ride. I am now looking forward to other styles in the future. I also now need to find the legendary FigRig.

Nano Hercules Indoor Gyro IR Helicopter "Unbreakable"
I am not that versed in the indoor helicopter arena, with my last copter being an Air Hogs from about over six years ago. I got a chance to play with a World Tech Toys Nano Hercules, and was pleasantly surprised at the improvements. Maybe because the helicopter is made of plastics, instead of foam, it flew really well indoors. I could keep a steady hover, fly forward, turn really easily and even attempt realistic landings (I still need some fine tuning practice). The copter also charges of USB which is genius, as remote control battery drain is less of an issue. Now if I can just land on that ceiling fan blade...

How to Train Your Dragon 2 Video Game from Little Orbit Xbox PS3 Wii and DS
With the truck loads of Dragons toys I have been reviewing through, it was neat to try out the new video game. The game is a fun and whimsical racer, tag, target shooter, fly around, game that can keep you busy for a few. Its nice that all five main Dragons are there, and play well. The game is available for most platforms (except maybe the most newest). Fun!
