Then & Now #1

With the revamps and remakes of pop culture TV shows and movies a number of toys/ action figures are also being made. This series of posts will showcase some of these toys.

Today's action figures are from the A-Team! Galoob made the figures in the 80's and are on par with G.I. Joes from 1982/ 83, articulation-wise, but the sculpting is isn't as well done as Joe's. Another issue witht the Galoob figures that they usually look like they're wearing lipstick or have a goofy look on there face. Not very manly for ex-soldiers on the run.

Toy Street haul

Looking through my pictures I noticed I failed to show you my haul from Toy Street.
I didn't get much but it certainly was an eclectic haul.

First we have a mini Evil from the RealxHead Mutant Zone collection. There are 4 figures in the the set but I could only afford one of them. The paint job is supposed to pay homage to the Ninja Turtles. Pretty cool for a vinyl figure with one point of articulation.

Transformers Tuesday #3

Jboypacman, this one is for you, TF: Generations Warpath! I've seen them floating around so next time I see one, it's yours! And yes, it's awesome!

Mini Monday #7

Akira here is from a blind box series that has scenes from the comic. It's been awhile since i got the little guy so I don't remember who makes the figures but I can guarantee you, it's from a Japanese maker. ;)

Happy Birthday America!

Toy Fail #4

Yet another, what is likely a return with some bootleg figure in the packaging. At least this time it looks like the figure it's supposed to be.

Foreign Friday #3

Perfect Cell here is another gashapon figure from Dragonball Z. I also found him here in Chinatown about 15 years ago. He used to be pink, until I painted him. Apparently I never finished painting him. Gonna have to fix that...

Transformers Tuesday #2

Scourge

Mini Monday #6

Transformers Tuesday #1

Transformers: Generations Thunderwing, one of few original Transformers from it's later years to get a modern update. Pretty snazzy even though he doesn't have an inner robot like his original Pretender toy!
