Recent Pick Ups!

This evergreen line of Snake Eyes movie figures have been on my radar for a while now. Not sure if I'll get into them or not. Looking forward to getting up close and personal with them and posting about it. Stay tuned!

    Just watched a YT review on this series. I think kids will love these because of the assortment of weapons... and parents will like the cost per figure. Based on how much a lot of action figures cost these days, the $10 price tag seems like a bargain. If I ever see Storm Shadow in stores, I'm gonna grab it for my classroom.

    I've already opened these and I'm not overly impressed with them, Fuji. Maybe it was just my Stormy but he felt very loose at the waist. I know they have a gimmick but it kind of bugs me. Snake Eyes is pretty cool, though.

    I keep being tempted by these, and and have had them in my cart many times (as I can't really afford Classified), but just can't pull the trigger.

    They're not very impressive, Alexis. My Ninja and Stormy figure were both kind of loose at the waist. Also the web gear on the red ninja fits very loosely and flops around all over the place. I would wait on these to hit Five Below before picking any up.

Go! Games and Toys

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...

TMNT X GIJOE - Shipwreck x Mikey

Image
This one's an odd pairing. Playmates chose to go with Shipwreck as Michelangelo's GIJoe alter ego. It looks good, I guess, but I probably would have gone with Quick Kick because of the nunchaku or Bazooka because of his goofiness in the cartoon. Either way it's still a great figure.  Mikey comes with some cool accessories. I love that they chose to go with a pigeon ( Pete) instead of a parrot for obvious reasons.  It's great when toy companies go the extra mile with the little things like using actual metal chains for Michelangelo's anchor ended nunchaku. Love that! Once again and sticking with the kid/ninja friendly anti - ballistics theme, Michelangelo comes with gag pistol complete with pizza flag on the end of the barrel.  The creative team must've had a blast designing this line. They get a lot right and very little gets lost in translation. Check out Mikey's...
