2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

Finally,a little foot soldier action!Brother Midnight has helped me round out my vintage TMNT collection with a couple of foot soldiers and Splinter.I had gotten rid of Splinter once before In a trade I completed with lord knows who (was it you Brother ?) ,so I am glad to get him back!I've always liked the original design of  the foot soldiers ,and always wanted some as a kid.They are an odd looking ,almost alien like brand of Ninja with a foot stamped on their bean shaped foreheads.I'm liking my Playmates  TMNT  collection and now the only two that I need are Shredder and Krang!Good looking out Bro! Brother also packed a staff  with the foot soldiers that I was able to use for my Donatello!

I'm ready to start going over some of the goods from that Bro Midnight trade package over these next couple of days ,in no particular order. Some of those figures have grown on me more than others ,like this G1 re-issue of Jazz! I've been wanting a G1 styled Transformer in my collection for a long time now.I've always had my sights set on the more affordable mini cons ,never going after the larger and more expensive Transformer figures.Which Is why I'm so damn psyched to own this Jazz figure.It's not the original,vintage release but It's a damn near perfect copy of It. Remember when Transformers were simple?I miss that about this particular line of figures.It made transforming them a snap.Transformers of today are chock-full of joints and articulation.That might be gravy  for the average collectors who want to display their figures In  cool battle poses, but maybe not so much  for the kid who would prefer to transform his Autobot on the fly and In less than a

Nightmares scare the shit out of me.I don't know about you guys and your bad dreams but mine seem to be written and directed by  Stephen King.The only thing Is that they don't feel like a movie.They feel like the real thing.To the point where when I wake up and realize that I'm still lying safely  In my bed,I let out  a big sigh of relief.I've had Jason Vorhees  dreams and as a kid I had a nightmare with Juggernaut.Yes ,a life size Juggernaut  was In my room and he was giving me this mean,clenched teeth stare and  It scared the fruit of the looms off me.Every once In a while I'll have an end of the world dream .I'm  talking meteor showers,news anchors giving us the countdown to when we should expect the big  bright flash ,the whole nine yards.Pretty crazy stuff.So yeah,nightmares scare me,alot! "You may say I'm a chicken,but I'm not the only one..." Mr. Smith keeps It real...... Bro Midnight would prefer to stay grounded... and

This trade box from Brother Midnight of the top notch  photography heavy blog  Green Plastic Squirt Gun  ,really blew my mind!If the vintage movie posters weren't enough,how do  bags full of California Raisins and M.U.S.C.L.E. figures sound? You even hooked It up with the Doctor Doom Titan figure!I freaking love that thing!I quickly put him up on display with the rest of the Titans.And damn,that Palisades Kermit!I'll be going over that and the rest of this star studded cast of toys  throughout the upcoming week and weekend.Many thanks Brother,many thanks :)
