Meet my new aprentransformer. . . . Darth Maul the Sith Infiltrator!

Probably the last toy bought during my bachelor life style, I picked up Darth Maul the Transfomer today.


Some find these guys weird and disturbing, I kind of think they are cool. When I imagine the Star Wars universe in the shoes of Transformers I wonder how would that exactly work? Especially when the Robots themselves are still piloted by the actual character of themselves in both robot and ship. Kind of twists your brain a bit.

Darth Maul here was done pretty well. Some of the robot forms come out too portly like the Jedi Starfighters or the Fett family. Other vehicles are a little revealing from certain angles like Luke Skywalker's underpants. Darth Maul here has a real nice Robot form and Vehicle. Although, Maul has a strange place for tucking his hands when in vehicle form. I can't wait for the combiner Han and Chewie Millinium Falcon!


Say, can I borrow your Sith Infiltrator for a spin?

What is so funny?

Ever since I put the Mugato between the Rancor and Unicron they have been laughing it up on a corner shelf. It has to be an inside joke, because I can't make any sence out of it. Unicron is seriously holding a spherical minicon that seems to really amuse the Rancor who is treating on a pig guard. Meanwhile Mugato is trying not to laugh.

Boga-Boga!

Hey Boga's back on store shelves! Thats a good thing, these big Attacktix Battle Masters make the game go crazy. I forgot to mention the total mayhem I brought to the family table on my birthday a couple months ago. I introduced every one to Star Wars Attacktix. For some reason I thought we were going to run out of game pieces so I brought over about 50 to 75 guys. I was surprized to see them take up the whole table. Next thing you know it a battle broke out, no rules, no boundaries! There were missles flying everywhere. Luckily none of the fine dishes were destroyed. After several attempted peace treaties and a few eye hits, we finnaly got some small 100 point games going. They went pretty well. My Grandma, who is in her late 90's mind you, got some pretty good shots with Luke Skywalker (even After he was shot down dead). Every few minutes or so, she would shoot out his force blast attack and knock down one of the in game pieces. It was great! Lessons learned though, next time less game pieces, and more controlled enviroment.

201st post, 200th Batman.

And thats 201 posts! Time has flown, as does this 200th edition Batman. I think Mattel canned the idea now that they have the license. Or maybe they are at 288 or something and I will have to wait till I post 300 too. Or they will start over on their own 100th edition. That would be an interesting toy arm wrestling match.

200th post will have to wait for this cool shot from a master builder.

Once again the valuable Ross family has contributed important documents to the Toy Museum. This here is a shot of the Black Piraka holding up a small scale replica of a ship I designed in my comic book universe. Very well done indeed. Thank you!


Here is it by itself in the darkness of space.

I guess the 200th post spectacular will be pushed back to 201st post spectacular.

What to post before the 200 post spectacular?

I hired Batman to clean the filth off my desk today. It is getting overrun by everything from toys to toy box fillers to toy catalogues. etc...


I also got home to find Rodimus dead, shot right off the shelf by none other than Optimus Prime. Something is going on between those two lately.

Man, that guy is mean.

Finally found a Cobra Commander the other day. My collection now balances with three agents of Cobra vs three Sigma sixes. Hopefully I can stop now.


Right out of the package Cobra Commander took out Duke. Duke swears that once he is out of his comma he will put that snake out for good.
