Ninja versus Ninja the board game

Ninja vs. Ninja? I'll bite!


So will Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow!


The object of the game is to pull the best Ninja dance moves in thirty seconds before your opponent can do the same.


Each ninja gets 6 mini ninjas to assist in the dance competition


3... 2... 1...


Dance war. Ahhhhhh!


Well, maybe its not played that way. I would suggest you look this game up, if you're into Ninjas. Lots of neat pieces like Ninjas come with the game.


And lots of neater pieces like Shadow ninjas come with this game.


And lots of neater neater pieces like Dice with swords through them come with the game.


And lots of neater neater neater pieces like Dojo Masters come with the game.

uh... now for the five second run through. 2 Player, who ever is left standing wins, OR whoever gets 7 points by going on a three step mission. You can only move one Ninja at a time the number of spaces rolled. Can only move straight, 90 degree L, or 180 (only when in opposing Dojo). Being able to cross quickly and deeply into opponents Dojo gets you points. The Shadow Ninja and Dojo master keep track of those points. Thats about it.

The Science of Battle Cat and Bart

As you can see from this diagram, Battle Cat's joints are consistent with actual joints from a cat.


As you can see here though, Battle Cat is not scaled to his real Green Tiger size, but to 1/3 house cat scale.


Ouch! As you can see here, both cats have sharp teeth.


Tune in tomorrow for the Science between Dan and He-Man.

Wait, I have to wear what?

I have to lift what?

I have to defeat who?


Tomorrow's science between Dan and He-Man will be cancelled.

Opening Battle Cat!

Here's a long, rambling, incoherent, sloppy camera worked, badly cropped, annoying autofocus sound, and poorly choreographed opening of He-Man and Battle cat toy review! A pretty cool toy. They look so authentic to the original show. Battle Cat might be a bit too large, as his joints give in a bit. He-man sits kind of funny too on him. Overall though, probably top ten toy ever made.

Battle Cat day! part 2

OH THE TURMOIL! Surely this is some sort of mad plot by Skeletor! I just watched a few reviews of this toy on YouTube. Mainly by the awesome people at He-Man.org Now I really want to do it... must open...RESIST...open...no... AUUUUUGHGHGH.

I did think up some new logic. Yes the main packaging will be mostly destroyed in openation, ...but if I can use the original packaging box to hold both figure and damaged package inside, the value won't be that much more destroyed? And isn't a toy that has been 'tested' and approved 'play worthy', more valuable?

Battle Cat day!

Finally a mount for He-Man!


Oh man, these toys are too expensive for me to want to open yet. Stupid Mattel. I really really want too, but then its like taking a couple 2o's and tearing them into pieces. The turmoil inside me!


I don't want to look back in five years with a Tub full of very expensive He-man toys now smashed together in a lump of plastic. And I just know Mattel is going to jump to 3 3/4 size once they exhaust this line. How cool would it be to have 3 3/4 scale of He-man toys!

Maybe in a few days when playing with a box with a toy inside wears thin...

GI Joe; The Rise of Cobra, Crimson Hydra

Ready to be bombarded with the Oh So Awesome Cobra Crimson Hydra images? I found one on clearance for ten bucks would you believe?


Such a beautiful craft, I am surprised it didn't sell better. Of course, I didn't buy one at full price either.


Its a repaint of a former series, Spy Troops, and then Valor vs. Venom. I can't believe I didn't buy it when it was in Stealth Black. That was a no brainer miss fire for sure. The red version is just as cool, and it fits perfectly with my Crimson Guard collections.


It looks to be styled after a stealth bomber, but with the usual impossible Cobra modifications


The back wings slide out so that it can fit in the packaging.


The top opens out for stabilizing and to reveal rocket launchers.


The Aero-Viper is so-so, has some neat gold detailing. I just noticed his helmet is removable, that bumps him up an extra star, looks to be a Firefly like head under there.


Now for the gimmick! An underbelly bomb?


No, a mini ship pod! Or a bomb with a pilot in it! Cobra has so many expendable men.


I wouldn't want to fly that pod. Certain doom. (Crimson Guard trooper not included)


So yeah, if you can find one, pick it up. It is one of the better vehicles I have run across in a while.


Damn, the bathroom floor is a great studio. Very nice shots coming out of the old steam digital camera.


Bye-bye!

Camo Gum for your GI Joes

Kind of bored tonight, so went to the store for some supplies.


Found some Camo Gum. Hmm wonder if one of the GI Joe's could pack it?


Missed opportunity for a good joke, did not take photo of 3 3/4" figure in Camo Gum bag. Jumped right to the bin of Sigma Sixes. But who gets to play. I don't have a Bazooka or a Breaker, so lets just go with...


Duke. He liked gum in the movie too.


Lets dig through the 12" Dolls... I mean, poseable action men. Ah, Flint will do.


Duke can carry the pack, but its a little droopy.


Fits Flint perfectly.


So what kind of gum is this? Looks like green rocks?


Any good? The Joe's seem to like it.


It does stick to your teeth though.
