2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

Here are a few fun pics of  Lanards Exo Suit with various toy lines for comparison.Personally,I think It went best with the discount Joker and Deathstroke figure.I've paired up the mech with figures that I think make the most sense and don't clash.Enjoy the pics! I couldn't have Zartan geared up for obvious reasons,but he fits nicely sans hoodie.I could see the Dreadnoks  utilizing a mech like this. It could also be a Doc Ock creation.He's always building contraptions and droids like this  to battle the likes of Spidey and friends!             Look out Batman!Deathstroke Is now more armed than ever!Go ahead,make his day! And lastly,I think this would make a nice crime fighting tool for everybody's favorite vigilante ,Punisher.     

You have to give It to Lanard.Right when you think they've shit the bed ,out comes a whole new wave of discount action figure  goodness.I'm sort of late to the party,but luckily my Wal Mart keeps these guys fresh on the pegs daily,enabling me to at least get a couple quick reviews In before they finally leave the stores.I really wanted to pick this set up,not just because of the mech,but for the Troll figure !He's very underrated I think,and Is one of the nicer looking figures out of this new wave.I probably would have passed on the mech suit,actually,had they released a single carded Troll.That's how much I dig the figure.Lets take a look at Troll first and then I'll go over the mech - suit. According to his bio,Troll was once a member of a group of villains who went by the name Marauders.Apparently,he too was injected with the same nano technology as  Shadow ,enhancing his strength and agility.Here's a link to all the new character bios to get a better

Plague,The baddie formerly known as Shadow!Hugo "Shadow " Ortiz was a covert ops good guy  In the CORPS! who ,to quote his bio , " Strayed into the obscure".After messing around with some nano-technology ,Shadow becomes Plague,leader of  The Curse!Check out the artwork!I don't know who's doing all of Lanards illustrations,but you can tell they are moving In the right direction.The artwork, story line and additional characters do a great job of complimenting each other .I think a CORPS! hour length animated film on DVD would tie everything together and make this a heavyweight as far as discount toys go.These guys need to be brought to life! Here's  Shadow next to Plague.Both have the same sculpts with different paint apps.I'm really like the Curse faction symbol. I'm glad I decided to hang onto all of my CORPS! figures.With these newly released figures,I should be able to amass a nice army of them.     

I've been wanting to add some of the newer CORPS! figures to the collection.I'll be doing separate write ups for Troll w/ Mech and Plague.Stay tuned!
