Green Lantern Animated Series Happy Meal Toys 2012 - Full Set Reviewed

Oh Boy, Green Lantern toys and a rare appearance of Dan Lantern? This is the best day ever!

I hate to say I only saw the opening Green Lantern Animated first episode, I lost my Cable connection after that. It wasn't bad, better than expected as the animation looked kind of plane. But with plane came lots of other neat stuff that wasn't expected. Good story, lots of action, not laziness. I will be sure to watch a season when its all said and done.

The mask actually fits pretty good for an adult meat head like me. The ring barely fits on my pointer finger. For once, its pretty neat as the button is inside the ring, so easily turn-on-able.

The Kilowog toy is HUGE for a Happy Meal toy. His hand lever works really well too. His head is also kind of cool being set inside his body slightly. Too bad he is the only other Green Lantern fig, they could have skipped crouch roll attack Green Lantern.

I don't know why I keep displaying the Spaceship as if it were backwards? I guess on the fly of video intenseness I wasn't watching what I was doing. The disc inserts in the FRONT and fires out the FRONT! The black bar window is a dead clue.

I am thinking this will be another three week promotion from 3/30 to 4/20 maybe 4/27.

Apparently Mer-Man prefers Skittles over oranges...

Masters of the Universe 2002 Buzz-off

Digging real deep into my stock pile of toys today, I find Buzz-Off. A tremendous figure from 2002, yikes that's 10 years ago!!!

I am very fond of the early 2000 Masters figures, more so than the new. They are more modernized, and with less joints, less problems. Or its more about value, I bought this figure for around 7.99 vs 30 dollars for a new Matty Collector item. Of course, this Buzz-off in pack today is around 24.99 to 35.99, I just couldn't part, and tore him out.

I will go on a limb and say he is top five out of the 200X line. Very detailed, very armly, and very buzzy. A standout figure for the ages. Although not a "stand-up" figure, he falls over easily. Not sure if that is a product of being in package for ten years, or just the awkward flat stance of his feet. Regardless, Buzz-Off is an amazing toy.

One of my favorite episodes of the relaunched 200X show, was when Skeletor stole and ate some of the honeycombs (Ambrosia) that Buzz-Off's Bee-people protected, giving him super strength.

Micro Machines Travel City Playset Review Part 1

A lifelong goal has been reached, last week I acquired the Toll Bridge set, which completes all 15 original Micro Machine City fold-up blocks. This tiny city has amazed me for years, and hope for years to come. I still need to get the next wave of sets like the City Hall and Bank, but those get spendy as they are the Bengali Pumy-ra and Linx-O of Micro Machines. So here is a lengthy review. If you find too long, I recommend the 1.5x speed, its very silly.

G.I. Joe The Pursuit of Cobra: Blowtorch the Flamethrower

Digging in my stockpile of overstock toys today, I found Blowtorch. As much as I like Blowtorch, I was surprised to see him not opened yet. He is a classic character from the old show and very recognizable. I believe this toy is pretty much a reissue from the remnants of the 25th anniversary line that I missed? I am very pleased he got a slight upgrade and or encore in the very well made Pursuit of Cobra line.

So it looks like I have two fire starters now, and one fire extinguisher.

I wonder how these guys get along in the break room?

Yeah, that's about what I thought.

Clones and Storms Troopers

I have to say it, I really enjoy my new Cannon EOS T3i. I barely set these guys up, and with just a couple of half assed clicks, I had some awesome results. It would have taken over 30 shots with my old Camera, and still look awful. To think if I used a Tripod and adjusted the lighting and settings just a little more, these guys would have look even better.

I was doing a shoot for a pal, and I had to gather my Stormies and Clonies together. I do have a few more around in storage, which I should find, and do a larger group photo. I didn't realize I had even this many. I wonder how many I have total... 20?

80's Toy Vehicle Battle the Movie Live - Directors Cut!

Well here we go again. Its really a bummer, to get the video safely approved, I had to reduce from 720, add a silly Directors plug, remove a short song that should be royalty free, and add bongos. I am mainly annoyed with the non 720, as it used to look so clean. It should still be a fun watch, and I hope you enjoy.
