Xevoz - Hemo Goblin - Eh?

Xevoz Hemo Goblin is one of my least favorites. It's missing something, maybe the wings are too small? The heads that it comes with are blah? Missing a tail? All that, or I have never been too big into Vampires.

The backwards jointed knee is kind of cool though

Xevoz - Preda Crawler - Too Creepy!

I don't allow myself to play with Preda Crawler from Xevoz, it is too creepy. Four Legs, half man half robot, evil hand saw arm, strange claw arm, teddy bear head. Just too scary for my Museum.

Don't believe me? How about if its bleeding from the mouth, while crawling around on the ceiling with a baby head in its claws?

Xevoz - Moon Stalker - Woof woof!

Moon Stalker almost looks like the half wolf that cornered Bart the other day, and that triggered Bart to bite me really hard when I rescued him. Ahhh nature.

With the jointed mouth, Moon Stalker always looks like he is laughing.

Heavy Duty 4th of July Recap

So this is what 20 bucks of fire works will get you in 2008. Check back to the toy museum in 20 years to see how inflation works.

This years Heavy Duty's picks are a Robot, some mini tanks, and of course a Super Soldier.


Super Soldier burned, because the back panel graphic came unglued and immediatly caught on fire.


Whooo pretty stock fireworks picture.


Ah, and a before and after Robot shot. I was hopping he would have more battle damage. I might have to burn him more.

Xevoz - Hyper Guardian - Sticky! No really, Sticky!

First off, Happy Fourth of July. This country rocks, don't let anyone ever say otherwise. Hyper Guardian will serve and protect while Superman takes a day off.

So I got this Hyper Guardian today in the mail. I wasn't sure if I would really like him or not, kind of thought the makers could do the super hero better. The color scheme wasn't the best, even though I do like blue. I wish it had a customizable color palate, and better heads sculpts. But, once again, out of the package this Xevoz hero tips the top five.


By the way, did you see that price someone got it for at retail?!!! I never got lucky finding Xevoz in clearance bins. I remember a few at Toys R Us, and Target, but once they were off the shelf, they were gone forever. (I have memories of picking up Storm Wing for my old roomate- turns out that was the rarest Xevoz of them all- DOH!) Unfortunatly for me, I had to pay many many multiples of that 2.99 for my Hyper Guardian.


Now this was kind of funny or strange. The previous owner must have left these in a hot attic or garage. Or the plastic was never up to par. All of the Hyper Guardians clear yellow weapons, blast effects, and accessories were really sticky! The package was never opened before, so it must have just sat and degraded or the plastic corroded. It was almost a film of really thin glue. But with a little warm soapy water, and a soft nail brush, I was able to clean it off. Now the parts shine again. I just wonder if the film will come back now, but probably not if its out in the air.



Have fun blowing stuff up today. And remember, unlike Xevoz, if your arm blows off, you cannot reattach!

Xevoz - Sledge Trooper - Brainy!

Sledge Trooper my trusty work desk companion. It has stayed longest out of all rotating desk toys. It has survived many a battle, and many a challenge. Truely one of the top five Xevoz, and one of the all time best Robot toys ever made. It has several arm attachments, pretty blue armor, and an eye for green. Also one of a few Xevoz with projectiles.

When no one is looking, it opens up its helmet and lets its brains air out.

Xevoz - Shock Berserker - Tall dude!

Believe it or not, this is the guy powering the inside of your mouse this very second! Shock Berserker is definitely a top five Xevoz design (maybe someone should check if I went over five by now? I hope a have a few spots left). This electric dude has some spiffy nice clear yellow and green plastic proving you can make toys in yellow and green clear plastic. It has an assortment of weapons including shock staff, shock sword, shock armor, shock helmet, and a magnet. Shocking.

Shock Berserker is also a pretty tall Xevoz. He hopes to make the Toy Olympic summer basketball team.
