Party on Wayne, Party on Garth, Rokkon Stonedar!

Ok so this wraps up the SDCC 2013 exclusives.  Last years Mattel exclusive was lame, but this year they hit a home run.  You have Rokkon and Stonedar the comet warriors!  You can read the bios below.

Here they are folded up in their rock form.

Here is a better shot of what they look like with their rock pieces on and one without the pieces on.  Although this toy line rocks I can't afford to buy them all so unfortunately there is only 4 announced at this point between now and next march that I care about so there won't be many posts about this line. 

Best toy ever!

My toy sense served me well today as I showed up at TRU just as they opened and was able to get the last of the Masterpiece Soundwaves that they had.  Soundwave being my favorite of all the Transformers this is the ultimate of all TF toys for me.  Here is tape deck mode.

Here he is with the 5 (the Japanese version only came with 3) tapes in their little cassette cases.

He also came with a Megatron gun and an Energon cube.

Here he is in his glorious robot mode.

 Here are the 5 tapes transformed

Here he is with the 5 tapes transformed.

 So there is Buzzsaw

 Lazerbeak

Ravage

Frenzy and Rumble

Frenzy and Rumble with their earthquake pylons

And the whole group together (Buzzsaw is inside Soundwave).  This is one of those purchases that reminds me why I love toys. I have seriously cut back on what I buy and have sold a lot of stuff but I am glad I got this one and he will never leave me!  Thank you Hasbro!

Deadpools Assemble!

SDCC package came today (more to come later)  and this is one of the best sets they have ever put out and had more accessories than anything ever before!  This is the Deadpools Assemble set which has Deadpool as other Marvel characters and came with pieces to make an extra one.

Here you have Thor-pool, and Phonics Killer Iron Deadopol and then the extra one which I actual had to cannibalize another minimate to have a complete extra one but it is Deadpool so it is worth it!

Then you also have Captain Ameripool and Cable-Pool.  Such a great set.  Of course I would love more characters that haven't been made but more Deadpool stuff is always cool with me!

Then the other SDCC set was a great new Thundercats set with Jaga, Lion-O, Grune the warrior, and Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living.  That Mumm-Ra is incredible!  There is another set announced for Thundercats and I really hope they continue because I am loving this line!

We are the Borg.

So happy day, they are making more Star Trek minimates! Of course I wish they didn't rehash more characters that they have already done but I am happy to get more TNG and some from unvisited series. Here we have Picard and Hugh, the Borg who gets a sense of individuality.

Here is Picard and the Borg Queen from First Contact.

This is great that we got Janeway and Seven of Nine from Voyager. Both of them look great.

Then even though I didn't watch the show I got Archer and Xindi from Enterprise.  Now hopefully this series does well enough that we can get the rest of the TNG characters because I will buy that up in a heartbeat.

Father's Day and a new member of the family!

So my wife collects Vinylmations and she showed me a pick of this Park Starz Rex from Star Tours a good while ago and I said that I would love it and then I forgot about it.  So she surprised me and got it for me for Father's Day.  She's the best!

Then for Star Wars weekends this year at Disney World they were celebrating the 30th anniversary fo ROTJ and one of the exclusives (limited to 1983 funnily enough) was this latex Salacious Crumb!  He comes with a little pillow to sit on.  Being one of my favorite characters this was a must have for me and it showed up in the mail today!  So welcome to the family Salacious!

So many armors, so awesome!

Ok so we got the TRU and LCS Iron Man 3 minimates and they are so amazing!  I love new Iron Man armors.  Here we have Heartbreaker, Skeleton and Silver Centurion armors along with remote control Tony.These are the TRU exclusives.

Here we have wave 49 of minimates. The one thing I don't like here is that none of these are variants. It is the first wave without a variant!  Here you Aldrich Killian, Maya Hansen, Cowboy Tony Stark, Extremis Soldier, War Machine, Iron Patrior and mark 42 armor. 

Here we have minimates from the Strange Tales boxset. There is Werewolf by Night, Dr Strange (and updated cooler version) and then Morbius.  Still love minimates and buy new characters when they come out but I have been reducing my collection and will be selling a lot here soon (including the old version of Dr. Strange)
