G.I. Joe Sigma 6 Exhibit - Coming Soon!

With some luck, a fancy G.I. Joe Sigma 6 Exhibit will appear tomorrow (or maybe Friday) here at Thetoymuseum. Stay tuned...

GI Joe Renegades: Tunnel Rat, Infiltrator

I still haven't made much of a dent in a box full of unopened GI Joe greatest figures ever made box. Today, I open Tunnel Rat. This is one of those toys that I would have had fun with twenty years ago. Tunnel Rat comes with a summers worth of fun accessories. The bomb diffusing robot could be sold as its own figure.

I am still trying to figure out if thats a frying pan, or something else. It has a folding handle, sort of.  Tunnel rat could have used a bigger back pack to fit all this stuff inside. So...

 "What is in the tunnel?"

Its sure dark in there!

Smells like humus.

Wait, I think I see something!

Just a little closer...

Is it? I think it is...

A Tunnel Rat!

Star Wars Fighter Pods Series 2 Blind Bag Opening

It was 108 degrees today, so I hit the AC store toy aisle and got stuff to amuse me. Heck even some more Fighter Pods should do the trick. With Series 2 out, I could avoid repeats, so I got a couple bags. Not the most exciting of results. I am going to have to spring for that AT-AT pack some day.

Blue Power Rangers

Idstromtroopers dug through massive amount of tonnage of toy to get to this Blue Time Force Ranger. As soon as I saw the cell phone pic, I said I says "Me Like the Blue Power Ranger!"  You see, I collect blue Power Rangers. Mostly because its my favorite color, and not because I identify with David Yost's lifestyle (not that there is anything wrong with that).

This Ranger actually comes with a bike and weapons, but those are long destroyed. What's funny about this toy is that his legs appear backwards. I am sure it was designed that way so he could sit on a bike, but when you want to stand him flat footed, you need to rotated them 180˚.

This figure of course reset my mad ability to not let toy ideas go, and has restarted my urge to collect all blue Power Rangers toys. At least one from each series. I quickly panicked, and ran to the store remembering that a blue Power Rangers Samurai has been on the shelves for months, and I didn't want to miss my chance.

Phew! This version, besides the previous Classic Blue Power Ranger is one of the better designs. He has good articulation, nice sized weaponry, and good overall play value. The sword has a nice long peg for belt fitting.

So here is my Blue Power Ranger collection to this date. I really need to catch up!

If you would like to help me, and have any on the list below, PLEASE, let me know. I will pay top dollar, up to ten, for any conditioned Blue Rangers.  I urge you to go through your little brothers collection bins, older sisters jewelry boxes, uncle Lloyds fishing tackle boxes, and find me the missing spots! Especially a girly girl Mystic Force light blue Ranger.

Ice Age 4 Continental Drift McDonalds Happy Meal Toys Complete Set of 6 Review

I really like this months selection of Ice Age toys. They have a nice style to them, and there is fun to be had with the iceberg stands. They break into pieces, and with enough blocks, you can build a really long boat. Good design Happy Meal.

Cobra Sucks! Happy 4th of July!

In other news, this is Heavy Duty's haul of works this year. About 46 dollars spent, plus a few from last year. This getting too expensive!!!

Star Wars Storm and Clone Troopers Exhibit

Here is an exhibit of Star Wars Storm and Clone troopers I have amassed, and in time to plug a friends blog IDStormTroopers. No we don't dress up as Storm Troopers and run around on windy lightning days, we just troop out during a storm and film it.
