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?

Gone Fishing; SpongeBob SquarePants Fishing pole

My little fishing trip from last weekend.

The Pursuit of Cobra; GI Joe Low-Light

Low-Light is the GI Joe team's night operations expert. He was one of my favorites from the original series season 2. I like how he was once afraid of the dark, yet now works in the dark.

This guy is nuts! I can't believe how much crap Low-Light comes with.

There is simply too much to keep track of with these new GI Joes. TOO MUCH!!!

Are you #@&*ing kidding me?

The only thing missing is a tilting neck so he can lay low.

A thousand gold stars for this action figure, well worth the rip-off price that Walgreens got me for. At least I can take back an older PoC figure I didn't open yet, use the receipt, and exchange it for a newer one, that I want.

Batman The Brave and the Bold; Attack Copter with Batman, who else?

I have learned three things today. Always buy the toy, the first time you see it weeks ago. Who cares if you don't have the immediate funds for it. And remember when people throw fake buckets of blood on you at Burlington Coat factory, its only for the fur coats and not the toys.

I was worried at first it was gone for good, but after the panic subsided and I used the "Toy Force" I found the set I saw weeks ago, wedged in between some old crap. I really just wanted the normal suit Batman, the Attack Copter was an added bonus.

A strange bonus, that is. What is the deal with the head on the front? It looks like Batman is sitting on an Attack toilet.

Luckily the Attack Copter comes apart and makes weapons!

I can now play Batman's stealth raid on Bin Laden's hideout in Pakistan.

The Attack Copter weapons don't look half bad. The face shield, what's with that?

Good set for 9.99, now I don't have to order this online.
