Vintage Figure Of The Day (Flashback Edition)

Image
This is one of the first toys I can remember playing with as a kid.I had to be around 5 years old .Star Wars was In full swing at the time but I didn't need no stinking Star Wars figures ,(actually I hated on every kid who had official Star Wars toys)I had this beauty!Yeah,most kids wanted Star Wars at the time but Fisher Price filled that void for me.I actually had a beat up X Wing that I would have my Fisher Price astronaut commandeer.That said,the Alpha Interceptor was nothing to sneeze at. I loved how the pod would rotate and  detach from the base.It reminded me of the little ship that flew out of Mazinger Z' s head in the cartoons.It feels great having this thing In my hands again,after soooo many years. 1982 Fisher Price Alpha Interceptor 

A Couple Of Things...

Image
I figured I'd take a page out of Alexis's  book and do a multi themed post.Alexis has done It on a couple of occasions and I can dig a post with more than just one thing going on,so here's my homage. Kicking things off with a tip that I received from good friend Allen(  Bro Midnight  ) about some 3 3/4 Marvel Legends figs that went on clearance at his local Gamestop.I can't thank him enough for giving me the scoop every time he comes across these sales.I don't frequent Gamestop often so It's nice to have fellow bloggers In the field to put us up on any toy related goings on.I wasn't able to find much at the two Gamestops I have near me,but I did come across this Triton figure for 3 bucks!He's pretty much the only one I wanted from that wave anyways so It works out.Thanks again Brother ;) Next up.I recently gave my Fisher Price Castle Doom a black wash and painted the base as well to give It a more realistic look.What do you guys think? ...

Dollar Tree Accessories

Image
Picked up a couple of Dollar Tree extras to add to my Fisher Price Castle Doom !The one set I already had but sent It over to Orniphus as extras in a trade package.I really like the cannon that It came with so I had to reacquire It .The wrestling set I snagged up for the ladder.How else are Doom's team of baddies going to get from the lower levels up to the second floor?I'm still looking for a Castle Greyskull orange throne to try and fit into the castle somewhere.For now,this Is what I got.

Garage Sale Find!

Garage sale find?That's a first here on Toy Break.And that's mainly because I don't frequent them as much and when I do,there's never anything good.Well today,on my travels, I spotted this  1994 Fisher Price Great Adventures Castle!I told my better half that If It was still there on my way back that I'd shell out 5 bucks for It.Luckily this baby was still there waiting and  so I snagged It up. It's not a bad piece.It's missing one trap door up at the top of one tower, but the other Is still there and works!It's also missing the cannon at the top but It's something I would have removed anyways because of how cartoony It looks.Also all of the cartoon looking decals are non existent so that saves me the trouble of having to remove them.Not a bad pick up for 5 bucks.Niow I will be brainstorming ,figuring out how to customize it to my liking.Where's Rey when you need him :)
