2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

Impractical, improbable, surreal, zany or cray-cray? One word (wait, cray-cray might be two words 🤔) isn't enough to describe this TMNT/GIJoe crossover line from Playmates. I mean, Transformers and GI Joe made sense. The whole M.A.S.K., Action Man, ROM, and Visionaries thing worked well together, but the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?" I can't wait to hear the backstory for this one. And if my opening paragraph sounds a little off-kilter, it's because these figures make my brain hurt 🤕 But it hurts so good 😁    This particular combo works well. Raphael's green body sculpt blends in nicely with Roadblock's military gear. The turtle shell helmet, while  faithful to both franchises , does fit kind of loose on Raph's head.  Much like Leonardo's Ooze-y that dispenses ooze instead of bullets, Raph's gatlin gun shoots ninja stars. Twist the dial on the back to activate the spinning barrel action feature. Al...

I didn't know what to make of Playmates and their decision to do a TMNT/GIJoe mash- up. I think Buzz's post on them was what sealed the deal for me. If you haven't checked out his YouTube channel, Pegwarmers, you should. Lots of great content. Pegwarmers Man, just when you think there's nothing else out there worthy of spending your money on, we get a Leonardo/Snake Eyes hybrid. WTF!?! How do you NOT want to add this entire line to your collection.  Take a look at all of this awesomeness! Michelangelo as Shipwreck, Donatello as Dialtone! Destro Krang! So great 😃  My box came a little banged up but I wasn't planning on hanging on to it anyway. I did, however, cut out the file card. That's automatic.  Not only does Playmates pay homage to Snake Eyes with the addition of the Arashikage tat on Leonardo's arm but they also went as far as including ...

Takes From The Darkside 🎃 *I didn't feel the need to sit in front of the TV for this one. Featuring short stories from horror heavy hitters like Stephen King, Tales From The Dark side chooses ( dated) aesthetics over substance. Kind of juvenile and mindless, you can easily tune in and out of this film without losing your place. I've seen Goosebumps episodes better than this film. 

This is actually my second ML Miles figure. I had to purchase a replacement because I gave the first one to my 4 year old grandkid who apparently knows more about the character than I do. I say this because immediately after giving him the figure he began shouting " SPIN!, SPIN!, SPIN!" I laughed out loud and asked his mom who Spin was. Turns out it's what they call him in the kid friendly Disney XD cartoon. Geek card revoked again! This time by a 4 year old, lol! So proud, tho 😊  There are more than a few Miles Morales figures out there and this one isn't the most popular. Some have complained about the head being too big and the legs looking a bit off but neither really stand out to me. Miles is just a  kid so the head should be a little bigger than his still growing body.  This figure is a nice representation of Miles as he appeared in his Marvel comics debut. I'm enjoying it and look forward to addin...

Every time the month of September rolls around I get the Septober Feels. What are the Septober Feels you ask? It's the combination of my favorite season and Halloween. The leaves changing colors coupled with Halloween programming gets me all nostalgic. In other words, these next couple of months will be filled with lots of raking, Reese's Peanut Butter cups and scary movies!  I'm no movie reviewer so I will simply rate scary flicks I've watched during the months of September and October on a scale of 1 Jack-o'-lantern to 5.  They 🎃  * Horrible [smh] Just horrible Friday the 13th Part 2  🎃 🎃 🎃  * Still holds up  Halloween III 🎃 🎃 🎃  *Odd spin-off but enjoyable
