Blind Bags from SEO Toy Review on Pixel Dan

A few weeks ago I sent my buddy Pixel Dan a package of Blind Bags for his show Blind Bag Mini-Figure Madness. He opens my package at 13:16 into the video.

Thanos - Marvel Universe

When I saw the Marvel Universe Thanos figure I had to pick him up. One of my favorite things about this line is the fact that there is some scale and different body styles to the line. I love that they make short characters, wide characters, bulky characters, and petite characters as well.

Not to mention the fact that Thanos is wearing the Infinity Gauntlet. This blue and yellow suited god-like super villain was heavily influenced by DC Comic's Darkseid. He's very nicely detailed and decoed. Thanos started as a villain in Iron-Man, but has sort of taken on the entire Marvel Universe.

Swerve & Flanker - Transformers Generations

I recently got to take a look at the Transformers Generations Swerve & Flanker figures. One of the guys in charge of SEO Toy Review, where I work, is a big fan of Transformers. Usually the toys they ask me to review are the kiddie Rescue Bots figures, but the last time I was there Ryan had a Transformer figure that he bought for himself and hadn't opened him up yet. So I got to be the first one to play with his new toy.

Swerve is a red and white Robot that can turn into a truck. He's a fairly small figure, but his articulation is pretty good. His little buddy Flanker is a very tiny robot that can turn into a jet or a blaster gun.

GI Joe Collector Club Sub 3.0 Muskrat, Slice, Spearhead, Vypra

Hey it's Wednesday, that means we get an Action Figure Adventure video review. This Wednesday we get two GI Joe videos or a total of four figures from the GI Joe Collector Club. We are checking out Muskrat, Slice, Spearhead & Max, and Vypra.

Muskrat is the GI Joe swamp fighter and Slice is one of many Cobra Ninjas. Muskrat wears dark green fatigues and comes with a boogie board. Slice wears read and comes with a crazy amount of bladed weapons. Both figures turned out really well I feel.

Spearhead and his bobcat Max served as a point-man for GI Joe. He wears tan and orange camo fatigues. Vypra is a Cobra Courier and wears a dark blue ninja uniform. Both of these figures left me a little underwhelmed.

In the trenches at the Battle of Hoth

The snow here is finally melting. The only places I have any left is in the shade or where it was piled up. So to end the Winter season I decided to post of few more snow pictures. This is a combination of Sta Wars Hoth figures from several different generations of the toy line.

I'm used to Photoshop Elements at work. I need to learn how to make better laser blasts in GIMP at home.

This bottom one was me playing with a filter, it didn't work out but kind of looked cool so I saved a copy of it.

Space Ninja Deathbird - ToyBiz

Deathbird was part of the Shi'ar Empire from the Clarmont era of the X-Men. You know the aliens involved in the Dark Phoenix saga. Deathbird as her name sort of implies is a bad guy. I picked up this figure from the tail end of the ToyBiz line about a year ago still sealed on card at a sale at my local comic shop. They were selling off carded figures in beat up packages real cheap. She just kind of interested me because of her unique design with the wings an chrome armor.

All the armor is removable and only really looks good from the front. Like many ToyBiz figures from this time, Deathbird is not well articulated. She does come with one weapon. It's a staff that looks like something the guards from Jabba's palace might carry.

Deathbirds wings actually clip into her arms an so they move together. The back of her arms look really weird if not clipped into the wings.

Deathbird was part of the Ninja Force sub-line. Everybody had a Ninja Force from GI Joe to the X-Men. Anything to compete with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

 He's a close up of the directions on the back of the package. The artist seemed to make her physique very pronounced.

Club 200x - MOTUC

Over at MattyCollector.com they are currently taking orders for the Club 200x mini-subscription for the Master of the Universe Classics line.

This is a six figure line up with an exclusive head pack. The Sub gives us six new characters from the Mike Young Productions cartoon series and six heads to update older figures from the Masters Classic line.

While  this sub might not be as exciting as the main line, I do think it's great to see some of these really cool characters finally see the light of day.

Zeb and Stormtrooper - Star Wars Rebels

Star Wars Rebels is a 3-D animated show set between the prequel and original trilogy. The Rebels in the series are a band of freedom fighters trying to help the people in a Robin Hood like manner. Zeb is the mechanic and brute strength of the team. He fills the role of Chewbacca in the original film.

The Rebels action figures hearken back to the old Kenner figures with five points of articulation. I'm not dying to own every item they release under the Rebels brand, but I wouldn't mind having all the main heroes.

Saba the Talking Tiger Saber (Legacy) - MMPR

Saba was the White Ranger's talking sword in the 2nd season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Since Power Rangers is made by combining fight scenes from a Japanese show with footage of American teenagers they eventually ran out of footage of the Japanese robots beating up guys in rubber monster suits. It's not to hard to shoot extra fight scenes for the Rangers themselves, but the giant monster/robots battles are expensive to shoot. So eventually all the Zords (robots) had to be replaced with the next season's robots from the Japanese show. The most popular Ranger (Tommy the Green Ranger) had lost his powers due to the plot of the Japanese show.

So since they were changing robots and the new 6th (special) robot would be all new, Tommy could be brought back as a new 6th Ranger. The White Ranger was born... and it was a pretty good story line for a Power Rangers plot.

As part of the Toy R Us Power Rangers Legacy line we now have a fairly (minus the buttons) screen accurate Saba Sword. Now all the kids of the 90's can act out their fantasy of being the White Tiger Ranger Check out my video review below.

Terminator - ReAction

If you've been reading the site much, you may know that I love ReAction figures. I bought the entire Terminator line, and today we are checking out the Terminator figure. This is based on the outfit the Terminator seals from a street punk as soon as he arrives in our time.

 He has black boots, brown pants, and a gray jacket. The jacket has some really nice details on the back, showing off the metal studs. I think the head sculpt in the weakest link on this toy. I know the ReAction figures are based on the era of toys that did not match actor likeness, but I don't think this figure is instantly recognizable as the T-800. Other figures in this line scream Terminator.

The Terminator comes with two awesome guns. His Uzi and pistol with laser site. Both of these weapons are memorable from the film.
