This month's MOTUC figure is none other than Spikor!  I loved this one as a kid and maes me wish that these new ones had the action features of the vintage figures but this one looks great as always!  Read his bio below.

Here we have one of the two SDCC exclusive sets that I actually cared enough about to buy. This is Canada's Avengers, Alpha Flight.  As you can see one of the figure broke right after opening it so hopefully DST will replace the part.  You have Northstar, Marinna, Puck, and Guardian. There are more on the way too from this team so that will be awesome!

Then the best thing to come out of SDCC this year was the first (as there will be more) box set for Thundercats minimates!  These are easily some of my favorite minimates of all (and I have quite a few to choose from).  You ahve Lion-o, Panthro, Snarff (just a small pvc figure) Mumm-Ra and Jaga.  Can't wait for more of these to come out!

Shocking!

I don't get to TRU as much as I used to and it has been a slow time for toys (although SDCC is coming and so the end of this month beginning of August should see a good haul) But I went to TRU today and got this Lightning Gremlin from Gremlins 2!  What a great collectible!

Then I saw a display for the new toys for the upcoming Nickelodeon TMNT show and they had some vehicles and only one figure in the display and thank my lucky star it was Donatello, my favorite and the only one I was planning on buying! There is a Classics line coming too so I should be picking up that Donatello as well. The articulation on this figure is superb and I really dig the look too.  Cowabunga!

This month was a big MOTU month with three items coming out but I only wanted this one so the other two were added to my lot of figures that I am selling on ebay (go to make room for and get money for upcoming stuff!).  This is Horde Prime.  I was concerned because originally the face they showed under the helmet you see there was a really lame bug looking thing but what it actually came as is AWESOME!  You can read his bio below!

I am sensing some seismic activity!

Yeah for TRU carrying minimates!  These are all TRU sets here. First we have the Gwen Stacy Dr. Connors set from the upcoming Amazing Spiderman.

Here we have Vigilante Spiderman and Capt. Stacy. This movie looks like it is going to be a good one!

Here we have some characters that I was really looking forward to because they are not only 90's characters that I loved from my trading card sets but they also fill out the X-Force Roster.

This TRU wave also had a good new Spiderman in that he has a spidey sense accessory and webbing under his arms so finally a new version of Spiderman.  Then we have this awesome Kingpin who came with a Daredevil that I already have. I got rid of my old Kingpin in anticipation of this one coming out and he is awesome!  Then you have First Appearance Punisher who also looks great.

And lastly we have some additional members of the New Mutants in Mirage and Magma.  So far the SDCC announced minimate sets are just ok so I guess I don't really know when it will be until the next set of minimates!  Just wait and see I guess.

Something smells

So May was a good toy month, especially because the MOTUC figure was the one that I have wanted above all others since the beginning of this line. . . . STINKOR!!! He actually smells and he is everything I hoped for.  Now I can be satisfied to not subscribe again because the other figures I want at this point will be few and far between (Mekanek coming later this year and Spikor are the only others currently announced that I really want) Read Odiphus' bio below.

Here we have minimates wave 44 variant set of Modern Ant Man and Kree soldier.  I just bought the variant set online because the other 4 figures in the wave came with the Disney sets that I alreadybought and posted about.

Here we ahve the other Avengers TRU exclusive two pack with the awesome Black Widow and Hawkeye!  I wish I had Black Widow as my personal bodyguard!

Here we have the actual wave of Avengers which is minimates wave 45.  The variant for the set is Colbie Smulders' Maria Hill.  Then you also have a Chitauri soldier and general.

The rest of wave 45 consists of Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and Hulk.

The waves have been hitting fast and furious and this is wave 46 which is based on the upcoming Amazing Spiderman movie. Here you have Spiderman and Peter Parker

Here you have battle damaged Spiderman and the Lizard

The rest of the wave is Swat guys (with an alternate head to make one infected by the Lizard) then you have Unlce Ben and the variant of Aunt May (honestly this makes me a little mad that we now have two variants that are Aunt May. . . . .seriously DST what the heck) Anyhoo summer is always full of minimates because of SDCC so hopefully they announce some cool packs!

Assemble!

So minimates wave 44 and 45 are out and the contents of those waves have been acquired in my collection in different than usual ways. First, the Disney store has released two boxsets that have parts of wave 44. This set has Giant Man, Hulk, and Captain America from wave 44 and then the all new and long anticipated KANG! 

The second Disney set has Thor and Iron Man from wave 44 and then a new version of hawkeye (with a great quiver) and another new character Grim Reaper.

Then wave 45 is based on the Avengers movie (which btw is THE BEST super hero movie in all of ever!)  My actual wave 45 is on its way in the mail (along with the variant set from wave 44) but TRU got some additional packs for the Avengers movie. Here we have Loki and Nick Fury. The other TRU set Black Widow and Hawkeye has yet to be acquired but it will be mine oh yes it will be mine!
