Hot Wheels, Thrill Racers ICE, Tread Air 3/6

There are a lot of sharp looking Hot Wheels cars out this year. I am not sure how the Tread Air could really exist, but I would like someone to try and build one.

It has a half tread half chainsaw like look that screams Carmageddon!

At the very least it will team up with Buzzerk and try and cut up the new Batmobile.

Transformers Reveal the Shield, Wreck-Gar

It was only fitting to find Wreck-Gar the junk Transformer in a discount store next to a bunch of junk. It is also fitting to take photos of Wreck-Gar in the most junkiest of desk corners.

Its nice to get a motorcycle Transformer now and again, although being so accustomed to cars, its always a challenge to figure how the heck to transform them. Bike to robot is easy, and then back to bike is total infuriation.

I'm so-so in liking this updated classic character from the 1986 animated Transformers Movie. I thought his chest plate would have a little more red-orange to it. His weapons are nice, and integrate well into his body. The left foot has some nice auto transform with his handlebars folding inwards.

He does look unique, and will fit well standing next to other classics Transformers. I don't love this toy, but I wouldn't pass it up.

Now to find a toy that will ride him...

Gogo's Crazy Bones, Series 1

I have ran into these a couple times now, on those days where you have to buy something. They're relatively cheap for one blind pack of three plastic figures plus stickers. Walgreens even gave me a free single figure pack once, thanks to an alert cashier. Addictive little guys, I am trying to keep a far reach from buying any more.

They are made of a lethal grade rock hard plastic, perfect for sling shots. Most have a simple paint application of some detail, word, or face.

I guess there are about 80 in series 1, each with a special small number on the back, so you know what you get. I suppose they are like marbles or something to fling at each other. I am thinking dentists created these to break kids teeth.

This final guy amuses me. Anyone want to translate for me? Its either some sort of "Mushrooms are bad for kids demon", or something Bob Dole uses for his ED.

Thundercats Cheetara LGN 1985 Vintage

Quite a commotion today with Cheetara on the shelves. The other toys are fighting for a date, but more on that later. For now, lets take a look at what 15 bucks including shipping will get you for a vintage 1985 LGN Thundercat's Cheetara.

Here face is a bit grubbied up, but with a little moisturizer and toothbrush, we'll clean that up. She's in surprisingly good shape. Fairly strong joints, action feature still works, and her head is attached (Toy Museum Legend; Dan drive's his sister's Cheetara in Thundertank under couch, Cheetara comes out the other side decapitated).

Fun Fact: Cheetara has relatively simple boots.

Oh, and the bow staff weapon... Its a fake. I knew it going in, don't worry. It looks like it might be a yellow Tinker Toy stick. Works and looks like it should.

It's vintage Thundercats Monday!

We like to spread happiness and joy around The Toy Museum! Watch ThatBoyWhite (The creator of the Snarf Snarf video (and who's name is from being so white from the absence of the sun)), opens up a box of vintage Thudercats we ordered up on Ebay last week. If its not noted in the video, I am very jealous of the Snarf figure, but I also got a Cheetara of my own, which I will post tomorrow.

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...

Try and Beat that! :)
