Its Snarf Snarf Friday!
In anticipation for the new Thundercats cartoon, I have been re-watching all the old episodes. If you look, Walmart has season 1 volume 1 for 20 bucks! My pal ThatBoyWhite was insane enough to capture every Snarf Snarf from that season. ENjoy!

The Pink Power Ranger
I finally can complete my modern day original Power Rangers collection with the addition of the Pink Ranger. Thanks to Why Did I Buy That Toy?, I was alerted to check the discount stores like ROSS, TJ Max, and Marshals. It looks like this Pink Ranger was from a second wave of Power Ranger toys. I guess the only bummer is her non existent display stand doesn't match the other Rangers golden bird feet stands. I also found by back of the box, there is a Lord Zed floating around. Darn now I have to look for that!!!
She doesn't come with this Terrordactyl Zord pictured, but with a crappy top that barely works for me,(the zip cord is not straight enough). Her dress limits her leg kicks, but you can't mess with the iconic pink miniskirt.
So Yeah, really happy to pick this toy up for a good deal.
But let's get to the real reason I picked up this figure, to One Up Action Ranger Timmy by puting them in vehicles and looking ridiculous...

The Pursuit of Cobra; Shadow Tracker
Dear Lord, this guy is creepy. Yeah, Predator creepy.
I exchanged an old unopened five Dollar Dusty for Shadow Tracker, using my Walgreens receipt from last week's Low Light. Pretty evil eh? COBRA!!!
Once again, this guy is packed to the brim with utensils and weapons. His Bow weapon is great, and his hands are formed to hold arrows. Real nice! The Dread hairdo gives the Dreadnoks something to think about too.
As for his creepy green net, he likes to collect heads. Oh, not again Man-At-Arms?!!
So yeah, this guy begs a violent, bloody, Stop Motion someday.

Classic Man-At-Arms
A long standing joke around the Toy Museum, is the mystery of the location of Man-At-Arms head. I have been searching for years and years. I was pretty sure it was still in existence, as I don't just toss critical parts of toys away. Maybe his mace weapon is lost, but i knew his head had to be in some box somewhere. I remember clearly taking the head off as a joke years ago, but not being able to get it back on. So I always planned to "do it later."
It turned up in an unexpected location on Saturday. Actually, a pretty logical spot; my parents basement crawl space. I have a few boxes stored in there, but it wasn't in a box. I have in fact looked through those boxes several times. This time, I was just "casually" walking by, looking for Thundercats stuff, when something on the dirt floor caught my eye. It looked like a strange blue ball. I almost passed it up, but something got me to pick it up. I was shocked to see the head of an old friend. Behold Man-At-Arms returned to full action figure status!
Funny thing was, that after all these years the head fit back on without any problem. It took literally two seconds to attach. Man-At-Arms is thankful, and has a ton of brain to body processing to catch up on, and maybe grow a mustache.

Hot Wheels, 2011 New Model, Arkham Asylum Batmobile 24/50
It seems like each summer Hot Wheels has us searching for a Batmobile or some pop culture icon. This years is the Arkham Asylum Batmobile (Which reminds me, I really need to stop playing Lego Batman, and play Arkham).
I usually keep these in package, unless I find two, but this time I had to rip this one out right away. It has many angles of niftiness. I see a dozen Batmobile themes is this version.
Not a bad view from any spot. It feels a little heavier then other cars, I might briefly run it on the Batman Hotwheels track. Keep your eye out for it, I found one at Target on a Hot Wheels display baron of much to choose from.

Hotel for Dogs; Georgia, or is it?
I did the McDonalds lunch today, thinking I could get another set of Batman toys, for the work office desk. As its late in the game for this promotion, they had exhausted their supplies, and dug deep into the box and gave me this...
It's Georgia from Hotel for Dogs, a movie from 2009. Its hard to believe that box was back there so long. He is cute, and I think I have a perfect use for him.
I never had a Ma-Mutt toy, and now I do.
Well, before he became rabid I guess.
A quick comparison for reference...
I wonder what horrible accident will befoul Georgia to turn into Ma-Mutt?
