A little Salacious in nature!

I love the Predator movies but didn't feel the need to get all of the Predator minimates so this is the set I chose with on Dutch and one Predator and now I don't feel like I have to get more. They are ok looking I am not a fan of the Predator's face.  I am excited for new Aliens sets coming soon!  stay tuned!

It is sad that I bought this whole thing just to get the Salacious Crumb but that's how much I love that character!  I kept the Leia (obviously) and who know it may be one of the last Slave Leia products they make now that Disney is saying they won't do it anymore and the Jabba is now sitting on my desk at work and it amuses students so the rest of the set wasn't a waste!  I love this little Salacious though he is so awesome.

Superior minimates

I places an order back in June and this Ant-Man movie set of minimates didn't come out till last week so I finally got everything else.  I loved this movie and so this is a great set with Ant-Man Yellow Jacket, Hope Van Dyne and Hank Pym.  This set killed it with the details on the Ant-Man and Yellow Jacket.  

Then I got the rest of my Avengers Age of Ultron wave 2 minimates there is the Hulkbuster (which I was disappointed didn't come with parts to take him out to make a regular Iron Man.  Then there is a Hydra Soldier, Vision, Ulysess Klaue, and Hulk.  I love this Vision but wish I had ordered the variant but the press release picture made it look not that great but then I saw a production picture and it looked better. I only need one though so I will just live with the one I got.

Then from the Axis wave of minimates I only got this one two pack of Superior Iron Man and Apocalypse (who has replaced my old one because I like the look of this one better).  This Iron Man is great and as I have been playing this character on my app Contest of Champions I was extra excited for it.

Then this is a single pack Alien minimate that was an SDCC exclusive. It is unique because it glows in the dark.  I am keeping it in the package though because the clear head piece on the top doesn't stay on :(

Mini Masters

So Mattel made these Mini Masters of the Universe figures that each came with a piece of Castle Grayskull.  For their size though they were too expensive until they went on clearance last week for 50% off!!!!! So I bought them all and adore them. I love little stylized figures like this and these ones look amazing.  Here you have Faker and Man-At-Arms

Here is King He-man and Clawful

Here is He-Man and Mer-Man  I love this Mer-Man his face and look are simply great!

Next is Stratos and Scare Glow

Then Skeletor and Moss Man.  Skeletor and Mer-man are my favorites of them all. I love the little Havoc Staff and his face too.

Lastly you have Beast Man and Zodak.  I wish they would make more but then again unless they go on clearance I wouldn't buy them.  This price was good enough but even if I love how something looks doesn't mean I will fork out for it!

Amazing additions!

So Marvel Select figures are a great line but this one stands above the rest. I snagged this Hulkbuster Iron Man at the Disney Store in Salt Lake and even though I love my other Hulkbusters this one simply puts the others to shame!  The articulation is great and the shine to this figure is great too.  

 I love the movie Wall E and so when I found out this Lego was coming out I knew I had to get it. Then I found out the price point and thought it might not be in the cards.  So when I saw it on the shelf I was thankful that I had a 15% off coupon and 10$ in rewards!  This is easily one of my favorite Legos of all time.  I love how his arms, hands and head move and the rolling treads are great.  It came with a cockroach (even though it is just two pieces it is fun that they included it)

Not so impressive Comic Con haul

So it was Salt Lake Comic-con this last weekend and as always it was lots of fun but my haul this time was dismal compared to previous outings.  This is an X-wing model kit from Ban Dai. It is really high quality but the stickers were lame and it didn't satisfy my desire for a super cool toy purchase.

I was excited to see little vinyl figures from Kid Robot of Megaman. They were blind boxed so I just picked one and got Roll which is cool since I don't have her in any other form.

Then I found this at Walmart last week it is a traditional Japanes woman car from Cars 2 but since I collect the Tokyo Mater cars I picked this one up to go with the other Tokyo cars.

Force Friday and beyond

So September 3rd I showed up at Toys R Us at about 10 pm and waited in line with other anxious fans for the doors to open at midnight to start Force Friday which saw the release of all the new Force Awakens merchandise.  I got most of what I wanted that night but some crazy people at the front of the line cleaned out most of the action figures so I still don't have a Kylo Ren.  One of the things I was most looking forward to was these bionicle type figures from Lego.  This is Darth Vader and the picture does not do its awesomeness justice!  It has great poseability and it looks amazing!

This is the winner though, Obi Wan in the his Clone Commander gear is absolutely my favorite new Star Wars toy.  The pose here does do him justice! The face looks amazing and the details are incredible. I love this toy!

I was able to get a few action figures. I picked up Captain Phasma and decided this will be the one I leave in its package as an example of this packaging (I try to do this for every style of packaging).

I had to snag a stormtrooper because I really do like the new look.

I picked up two regular lego sets, this is the First Order TIE Fighter.  I love the black and gray with red accents.  At this point having not seen the movie I have no attachment to the minifigures (that may change) but the ship is definitely worth it.

Then I had to pick up the new X-Wing because, well I love X-Wings.  The pilots are cool but had to have the X-Wing! I also love the color scheme here and it has lots of firing guns on it.

Diamond released some blind bagged Nightmare Before Christmas figures.  I bought 6 and got duplicates of Jack and Sally but also got the Mayor of town and professor Finkelstein.  I love this movie and so toys of them in my favorite toy format was a must!

TRU got some exclusive Age of Ultron minimates as well as some Ultimate Spiderman cartoon (love that show) ones too.  So here is War Machine and Bruce Banner from Age of Ultron and Stealth Spiderman from Ultimate Spiderman.  

Then Walgreens of all places got some exclusive minimates as well so here is Groot, Rocket, and Star Lord from their animated series.  I love the smirk on Star Lord's face! I wish the Rocket was poseable and more different from the movie one but oh well.

Then I got this little set so that Xander could have a Carnage figure (one of his favorite characters).  I kept the Spiderman and the Shield guy and Xander got the Carnage.
