Birthday continued

Ok so since my birthday is at the beginning of February and my wife's is two weeks later we usually celebrate both our brithdays together somewhere in the middle. So My sister in law gave me this SW Vinylmation Darth Vader, very cool!

Then I couldn't pass up this new lego set as first of all it is cool but second it has a Luminara Unduli minifig so hooray. Today pics from Toy Fair 2011 have started to surface so great new MOTU stuff coming including Man-E-Faces, the Faceless One, and Clawful. New Legos including sets with Quinlan Vos and Eeth Koth among others. Not much minimate news so far but I am sure we will see some good stuff. They did announce they will be doing Marvel Vs Capcom minimates which means we can get a Megaman and a Zero!!!!! Oh good times I love new toys news.

TRU wave 9 please

So my TRU didn't get wave 9 in so I ended up buying them on eBay which sucks but my happiness on receiving them today made up for it. Here we have one of my favorite characters from when I was a kid and would play as super heroes with friends, Shatterstar. I love his two bladed swords. He came with Cannonball who has a great exploding base.

Then you have Magik with a cool bampf base and then Warlock in all his wierdness.

Then you have a dark Magneto and Brown Wolverine. These ones are great too. Man I needed these new minimates as it has been an incredibly long two weeks since I started a new job new toys eases the craziness a bit. Oh yeah and this makes 950 minimates!

Its my Birthday

Well I didn't get these toys on my birthday but today is my birthday so what better way to celebrate then to post about some toys! I had some TRU rewards dollars that were going to expire so I picked up this TF animated Snarl on clearance since I really like the Grimlock that I got. He is ok in his robot form here but. . . . .

His Triceratops form is great!

Then I decided to pick up the Eternian Palace Guard set from mattycollector.com and it came the other day and I have been dying to open up some of the MOTU classics figure so I figured I would start with these guys and they are AMAZING!!!!!!

They come with two other interchangeable heads so you can have a bunch of different guards. The white guy human head on the figure above left is based on Scott Nietlich who is a Mattel guy who I have met several times at SDCC.

And here is the bio clipped from the box (I love clipping bios for some reason I am just wierd).

He-man of the North

So the classic style Transfomers are great just like MOTUC because they take the classic look of characters and put them in a modern toy with great look and poseability. This set called Reveal the Shield is a two pack with Rodimus and Cyclonus from the TF movie and it even came with a die cast Matrix of Leadership. Here they are in their vehicle modes. I don't understand why blogger can't make my picture appear horizontal even though it is that way on my computer!

Here is Rodimus.

And here is Cyclonus who was Skywarp but was transformed by Unicron. So since I have all those other seekers and they are making a Thundercracker and I missed getting the Skywarp they did a few years ago (hopefully they reissue it) I think this fits in nicely with my other classic style guys.

Here we have this year's subscription's first MOTU figure. This is Vikor He-man of the North. He was the first one to protect the sword of He after King Grayskull died. This figure is based on the original concept art of He-man. You can read his bio and see the original concept picture with the bio below.

Post Christmas Christmas

So wave 37 of minimates finally showed up and they keep pumping out great minimates. This waves army builder was a doombot. One came with a Thing and the other came with the variant trenchcoat Thing.

Then there is the six armed Spiderman and a Spidey villain long awaited Lizard!

Then the best new minimate in a long time is this 90s Professor X with his hover chair! He came with an X-force Warpath. I love this hover chair it is definitely one of the best accessories to date with a minimate!

At TRU they have exclusive MAX elite heroes packs but my TRU hasn't got them in but someone returned one at my store so this pack of Special ops guys showed up on the peg so I snagged it up!

Well because of a TRU promotion with their rewards r us program during the month of December I earned a whole bunch of rewards r us dollars but since TRU didn't get in the new minimates I wanted and some of the dollars were going to expire I had to use them. So with those coupons and some TRU gift cards received at Christmas I bought this really cool Jedi T6 shuttle. Not only is the ship really great it comes with new minifigures of Shaak Ti and Saesee Tiin.

So this Comic 2 pack was supposed to be in stores but all the remaining packs planned were made internet exclusives so when BBTS put this on clearance right when I was about to ship my loot with new minimates I picked it up because it has some Rogue Squadron pilots from the books which is one of the things I still collect.

Me Grimlock!

Well first of all I had to pick up this Kevin Flynn Identity Disc because it is the first time I have seen the white one! It is really cool because it has a display stand and it makes sounds and lights up! I couldn't pass it up (also it was on sale).

Dont' know why I can't get this picture to load correctly but oh well. These are wave two of the die cast vehicles. The two I had to have were the 1 man light jet and the 3 man light jet. Then I got the other two so that I could have all of them. The other two are CLU's sentry's light cycle and a grid limo. Man I loved this movie! If you haven't seen it yet then you must do so now!

Next we have a great deal I got by buying this from my best friend Kenny. This is the Masterpiece Grimlock. Here he is in Dino form with a butter knife to help give you scale.

Here is just another pic of him in dino form.

And then last you have him in robot mode with his sword, gun, and crown, The sword and gun light up in his right hand. I love these MP transformers there are few toys cooler than these!
