McDonalds My Little Pony FIM Happy Meal 2014 Toy Collection

My kid made me do it. :)

My Little Pony FiM Neon Bright Blind Packs Series Apple

I seem to remember that huge viking like guy in Tangled collecting mini unicorns? These plastic ponies are made with the finest of glowy bright gunk. Looks good spinning under a black light in the second half of video.

Power Rangers Megaforce Armored Ultra Mode Blue Ranger

When I saw the Ultra Mode Blue Ranger a couple weeks back I passed out slightly. This guy fills in the top of my Blue Ranger collection quite nicely. Fully articulated, with tons of armor, this guy can do everything! A little easy to knock off armor, but still fun to play with. A red Ranger is also available. I found mine at Toys R Us for a wallet breaking $19.99.

Saturday Assortment

I took a trip out today to look for a Cantina band player. I know exactly the set I want, available through ebay, but I don't think I will get it in time for the antics of this week. I was hoping to find one in town to hold me over, but it looks like it was a little more rare than normal. I did pick up this assortment at our local reseller Time Zone Toys.

First off, an older Star Wars Power of the Force collection, Ponda Baba. I hope to get the fancy one sometime soon, but this one will be fine for the short term. I like how the previous collector kept the card.

Second, a G.I. Joe 25th "New" Cobra Commander. I purchased most of the 25th line, but for somehow reason, missed this one. CC in Battle Armor is one of my favorites. Not really because he is Cobra Commander, but more as it's a really ass kicking costume!

Thirdly three, at the very end I noticed some loose Blue Rangers in the Power Ranger bin. I collect Blue Rangers, and was floored to find a really nice Blue Dino Thunder Ranger. Also a somewhat loose  Blue Space Ranger, in which I will have to get a battery to see if the helmet light up feature will still work. A Space Police ranger with the big number "2" on the suit is the last one (one of my favorite Ranger designs btw). He is missing his hand, I wonder what horrible accident befell him?

Fourthly and finally a Rainbow Dash for my kiddo, or at least I like to say it that way.

Thundercats Armor of Omens with Golden Lion-O

Happy New Year from the Armor of Omens, the now defunct and obscure mechanized suit! I have been eyeing this guy for months, watching and waiting for a clearance event. Usually this time year is "gold," as all the stores try to offload a stockpile of highly unsuccessful toys, in hopes for room for more lesser than highly unsuccessful toys. I was surprised to see my Local Walmart so cleared out already. Luckily I found the Armor of Omens in a random place, and it was actually priced at $11.00 instead of what was marked. Of course there was some "slight" shelf wear...

I find it a pretty fun mid sized action figure. Interesting shape, pretty shiny gold, and a few tricks.

Deep inside the chest, sits golden Lion-O. It's too bad they were lazy and made him only gold, a little more detail would have been nice. He fits nicely in my collection of strange golden artifacts. 

I will give points for not only snapping in mechanically, but also magnetically with the Thunderlynx tech. The front panels also snap well back into place. toys like this, its typical for the flaps to flop off easily, but not this guy, its solid. Armor of Omens comes with a neat large scale Sword of Omens. With a press of a button on his back AoO makes a sword slicing sound, while his eyes glow red. It would have been nice for maybe a second sound effect. His arms have elbow joints that bend and rotate.

AoO reminds me of Power Rangers stuff, maybe because its Bandai made. AoO also reminds me of Goldar, which I can put to good use quickly...

I would give this toy a pretty good score. Its simple yet fun. Just grab a good grip to AoO solid non moving torso and legs, and just start pounding your opponent.

And with that TheToyMuseum begins its ninth year of blogging! On the 20th anniversary of Star Trek Deep Space Nine, if that means anything. Lots of the same stuff in store for this year. Enjoy.

Power Rangers Samurai Megazord

Ah-Ha!  Now I know I'm getting closer!

He looks kind of  dainty?

Darn. Now I have to figure out how to stand it appropriately!!!

My Little Pony: Sunset Sweety

This wittle pony is so cute! I like how its head is tilted back in the sweetest fasion. Makes me want to break out in song and dance...


Well this isn't going anywhere! That is it for My Little Pony Week!!!

Thanks Cobra, you canceled the rest of the best week ever!

Welp, I'm off on vacation! Thought it would be nice to go on a cruise while the country is in financial ruin! In the mean time, I have planned posts on the fine weaving methods of Batman's Cape. Not many people realize the many different styles of Batman Cap weaving methods. I think this will be a real treat. So stay tunned for Sunday's first chapter.

My Little Pony: Royal Rose

Whooo a flier!


Everybody knows that Pegasusus Ponies are the cutest thing since iced cream! And this one smells like Roses! What a delight...

oh-no, not again...


I tell you, I really need to get Dial-Tone and Mainframe on this right now!

My Little Pony: Tangerine Twinkle

This My Little Pony has the most adorable sparkle freckles!



Yes, a translucent Pony in the light, this My little Pony has the power of the Moonstone...


I don't even know what that means, but it can't be good.

I wish Cobra would stop messing with My Little Pony week!

My Little Pony: Lovey Dovey

I was thinking about gum drops and cotton candy today and it occurred to me this toy blog favors the Army-Robot-Super Hero toys too often. So I thought to make it even, I would start highlighting My Little Ponies this week.


They are so Cute! Look at the colors!


Hmmm. Seem to be having display difficulties. Please ignore...

Now look at the fine jewel embedding work done on this Ponies Butt.


I think that the combination of pink and purple is sure pretty.


Yeah, something is really wrong with my picture loader. Please dismiss.

The problem with most of todays action figures is the absence of purple sparkle hair. -Fabulous!



I bet Zartan could use sparkle hair. It would certainly end some debates.


Well.

I'm going to have to contact my IT guy on this issue.

Please stay tuned to My Little Pony week.
