GI Joe The Pursuit of Cobra; Cobra Ice Cutter

Totally awesome tread height dude!

Cobra Commander clearly has rehired, or un-prisoned, his 1980's vehicle design team. Many of the new Pursuit of Cobra vehicles borrow much from the old era. They have that Cobra funky design, yet still almost look possible to build. The Ice Cutter has those great flipping tracks borrowing from He-Man's Attak Trak too. I think the general consensous is, neat flipping tracks, but a need to lock them into place. I think I will do a video shortly to show those off, so stay tuned.

the back sports a big wheel, that would probably need some spikes for even more traction. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to drive and maintain this thing. Yet it is still totally awesome. The laser cannon on top, is just that a laser cannon. No shooting projectile if you can imagine that!

The driver wields two powerful flat like rackets for hitting Joe's in the face. He also has a back back with mini missile, and a machine gun.

Great toy to add to your arctic battle teams.

It's a vintage 1983-84 Gizmo and Stripe Gremlins set!

Awwwwe, how cute. It's Gizmo! A 1984 LJN toy that came extra with a huge lot of Ebay Thundercats action figures my friend bought.

Hey, Stripe too? He's a little more scuffed up, but what do you expect from that trouble maker? He's also older, aged 1983. Uh-oh my leaky ceiling!!!

That's not good!!! A leaky ceiling and an amok Gremlin. There goes my house value.

Fun little treasures these are. I had to take a few photos before they are Ebayed off to compensate for the huge lot of Thundercats prices. If you would like them, show some love to Thatboywhites new Ebay account...

Transformers Thrust Review on the Road and totally awkward

Once again pushing the boundaries of toy reviews.

Burger King me the Head of Megatron, a Kids Meal Story 2. Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon

This time, Burger King served me the Head of Megatron. Actually, Toy Museum merchandise contributor ThatBoyWhite, purchased Megatron and Shockwave for me (Thank You). Actually, Actually, the girl at the register went far far back to the supply room to find these, vs getting another Optimus Prime. And I did technically do the driving to Burger King. So many hands were involved. Its nice to have the main bad guy to stand up against Prime, although Megs here is a little bland. He makes the traditional transform noise with chest button.

Burger King me the Head of Optimus Prime, a Kids Meal story. Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon

Burger King served me the head of Optimus Prime!

Oh nevermind, his body is inside his head? Fast food toys are always weird. That's more of a generation 1 season 4 Headmasters deal, than a Dark of the Moon plot, I hope. Its okay though, he is a good stand alone figure of Prime. He say's "Autobots Roll out" with press of chest button Autobot sign.

Not sure If I will go back for more, I lucked out with the best one today.

The Best 48 Vinyl Mini Neon Painted Dinosaurs!

A few years back I won a small yellow mini dinosaur at our local nickel gaming arcade. I didn't realize how cool he was until I got home to play... inspect, and then wanted to win a few more. When I went back, the stock was changed out for Valentines crap, so I never got a chance to get more. I left him on a shelf and promised T-Rex I would find his companions, from time to time. Last week I was bored and did some internet searches and finally found some sources. It was obviously a party supply thing, and our local Zurchers had them (not a mile away from the gaming arcade of course). So for 5.99, I got a baggie of 48!...

Plastic drool! So many kinds! I think there was two bag options, each dino has its own color, but two different color options per bag choice. I picked the bag with the bright red T-Rex vs the yellow as I already had a yellow one. A red T-Rex is more menacing anyways. Yet right now, I am thinking of going back and getting the other bag.

So there you go, 12 different dinosaurs in awesome bright neon fashion. The Vinyl is so-so soft, but not too squishy. The texture feels leathery, and many have spikes and fins. The painted on stripes are simple but striking. They're about a couple inches long, by an inch tall or so.

They are not too Neon as you would think, my old camera really hates taking them all at once. I have to say they are by far the best collection of mini dinosaurs I have ever seen. They are also on Amazon, if you would like to join in on the awesome fun. For July, I just might have to do 101 things with them! :)

Captain America; The First Avenger, Comic Series Battlefield #03

The super hero movie I would like to see the most this summer in a summer of "Sort-of-See" super heroes is Captain America! Believe it or not, I have yet to see Thor, X-Men First Class, or Green Lantern. There are just too many super hero choices this year, which makes me all the more uninterested. I miss the days where its just one "must see" movie. So far, Bridesmaids was way better than another superhero origin story, and Super 8 was the best wink at the 80's style since well, the 80's. I'm just bummed they didn't have Captain America ready for 4th of July Weekend. What's up with that??!

I only planned on getting the comic series Battlefield version because he looks so GI Joe compatible. I wish Hasbro would use the same GI Joe figure build with the Captain America line (and other lines). His hip joints, again, are a mess! They are a little better than last year's Iron Man toys, but they still need work. The joints are very very stiff, breakable stiff almost. Its always a trick to get the joint turned and lined up so he can kick or sit. With GI Joe, there is no articulation fumbling. I guess its crouch accuracy they are going for. He does have pretty good feet articulation, both side to side and front and back. His hands hold the weapons well, and the shield has both clamp to arm, and post for back holding. No display base, which is a huge annoyance.

It didn't take long out of box for me to have a GI Joe Captain America team battle.

There was a couple scary moments, but in the end, Hawk and Captain America cornered Cobra Commander and the Heavy Water cube.

...aaaaand world is saved!
