Its a vintage trap!

So they have continued to make these vintage style figures, but to keep spending down and because some of them shouldn't even be made (i.e. figures from the prequel trilogy) this is one that I just had to have. The Mon Calamari Admiral Ackbar. I love this character and I am so glad they gave him the vintage treatment.

I also picked up a Clone Wars Shaak Ti because A. she looks cool and 2. the one I already have from Episode II is posed in a permanent position so this figures poseability is much better.

Here we have the redo of King Grayskull with some minor changes vis a vis the SDCC version from two years ago. You can read his bio below. This one was an early Christmas present.

Modulate

I was certainly hoping to find some new minimates at TRU this weekend as it was Black Friday but since I didn't and I really wanted to get something I got this Marvel Universe Modular Armor Iron Man figure, not just because I wanted to buy something though he is a great looking figure.

Fuzzy Wuzzy

So the cashier aisle at Target had this mini Toy Story 3 lego set of the army guy with his jeep so Isnagged it.

Here we have some galactic heroes of Barris Offee and Quinlan Vos. Ihad to get this pack since they are both Jedi and Mara loves Barris because I got her a doll of her.
Here wehave this month's MOTUC figure and it is Hordak's henchman Grizzlor, you can read his bio below. Man Ican't wait to get a good display shelf so that I can open all these up! Next month is one of my all time favorite MOTU characters so stay tuned!

I like the sound of that

So I went to the Disney store at my mall because I am keeping an eye out for an exclusive Marvel Minimate set that they will be carrying and to my surprise the store is carrying vinylmations. They had the Nightmare Before Christmas ones so I picked up this Pumpkin head Jack Skellington.

They also just put a TRU Express in the mall and they had this newest version of Soundwave in his Cybertronian form. I didn't take a pic of him in his vehicle mode because frankly I don't like it. His robot mode though I think is one of the best incarnations of Soundwave yet!

Super Soldier!

This is one of the best minimate sets yet. This is the TRU Exclusive Captain America Through the Ages set that was voted on by fans to choose the line up. This set includes from left to right- WWII Cap, Armored Cap, Cap Reborn, and Suspended Animation Cap. As Captain America is one of my four favorite super heroes I already love this set but it also gets me psyched for the upcoming movie starring Chris Evans, its going to be legen. . . . . .wait for it. . . . . dary!

Exclusives from a different comic con

So the NYCC (New York Comic Con) happened a few weekends back and they had some exclusive sets which got to me today. First we have the New Mutants which includes Wolfsbane, Cannonball, Karma, and Sunspot. At NYCC they also showed an upcoming wave of TRU minimates with a much cooler looking Cannonball.

Then we have two sets from the Age of Apocalypse series in which Xavier is dead and Magneto takes over his dream and creates the X-men team. Here we have Magneto, his wife Rogue, Cyclops and Sunfire. I love the extra head for Magneto that makes him look more sinister.

Then this set has Wolverine, Jean Grey, Dark Beast and the bad guy from this universe Apocalypse. These sets are all fairly random in terms of mainstream stuff but they are new Marvel minimates and I love me some of that!
