Penguin Commandos - Batman Returns

In Batman Returns, the Penguins army of missile carrying Penguins played an important role. They were also features in a lot of the supporting artwork and products. When action figures of them became available I had to have them.  Packaged as Penguin Commandos a back and gray penguin each came with their own weapon backpack.

The gray penguin came with a yellow backpack that features two gray guns on the side. There is a red control helmet that connects the backpack to the penguin's head.

The black penguin comes with a gray spring-loaded missile launcher. The pack came with two blue missiles that can be fired with the push of a button. The missile pack has a blue control helmet that connects to the penguin's head.

 I like that they made some variety with the two figures, but the black penguin with the missile pack is much more screen accurate (and it's still not really accurate). I kind of wished I had two of the black one as a kid.

Avengers: Age of Ultron - 2.5" Action Figures

I'm experimenting with a slightly longer skit (play time) with the toys in the SEO Toy Review videos. Let me know if you like the change and what do you think of the tiny figures? They all have 5 points of articulation and Captain America is the only figure with an accessory. The videos feature a few other figures to stand in for characters.

Thundercracker - Transfromers Combiner Wars

Taking a look at another Combiner Wars figure. This time it's the evil Transformer Thundercracker. This awesome robot can turn into a jet.

Vivix and Fury - Power Ranger Dino Charge Villains

Here is a video review of Vivix and Fury the villains from this season of Power Rangers. Fury is a second tier villain like Goldar from the original season of Power Rangers. The Vivix are the generic troopers like the Putties from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

The Art of He-Man & the Masters of the Universe

I just received my complimentary copy of th Art of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Dark Horse Comics sent it over for submitting items from my collection to be included in the book. I did a quick review to show off how cool the book is. Check it out!

Masters of the Universe Day - Toy Collection Tour

It's Masters of the Universe Day (MOTUD)! What better way to celebrate than to show off all the Masters of the Universe stuff I've accumulated... but this isn't even all of it. Baby Skeletor demanded that I celebrate MOTU Day on April 28th as decreed by Los Angles Mayor Tom Bradley back in 1987.

Please visit all my blogging buddies who are participating in this MOTU Day Event.

NJCC & Geek Fest Random Photos

Today I have a real quick post of two sort of random photos from two recent shows I attended. First is a cool Diorama someone had on display at NJCC. The second one is of an Ectro-1 from the South Jersey Geek Fest.

An Arctic battle ground display along side a smaller Jungle scene.

Flea Market Finds #36

I went out to a few yard sales this morning. I mostly bought tools. I had sort of given up hope of finding any toys when our last stop was a community sale in an over 55 community. Turns out Grandmom was parting with a few things the grand-kids used to play with.

I picked up Robin Hood from Prince of Thieves as well as four Power Ranger PVC figures. My younger cousin had the complete set of these PVCs back in the 90's. I got Billy the Blue Ranger, Alpha-5, Baboo, and Goldar

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers by the Loyal Subjects

The Loyal Subjects have been on fire producing awesome vinyl mini figures of hot properties including GI Joe, Transformers, and now Power Rangers! I was so excited to see these little articulated figures with removable helmets and weapons. We picked up a case to try to get as many different characters as possible.

Trini, Billy, Tommy, Jason, Kimberly, and Zach

Check out the video review below

Here are the three villain figures, and probably the best ones to make. 

I would have kind of liked a Putty.

Twin-Pod Cloud Car - Vintage Star Wars

I finally got a Twin-Pod Cloud Car for my Star Wars collection! A couple weeks ago at a toy show in Delaware my buddy Nick and I bundles some stuff together to get a good deal from a Toy Dealer we see at a lot of shows. I got this beauty for $10. Complete with hatches, windows, landing gear, and decals.

Growing up my buddy, Derek, who I played Star Wars with a lot had kind of a junker Cloud Car. We were born to late for the initial Star Wars crazy so both of our childhood collections were made up of yard sale fodder. We didn't have anything complete.

Now I need to dig out two Cloud Car Pilots to man this bad boy. Being a huge GI Joe fan in the 80's I couldn't wrap my brain around the idea that Star Wars vehicles didn't come with pilots back in the day.
