Power Lords- Power Soldier Elite

Hailing from the recently revived Power Lords line by the Four Horsemen Studios, this Power Soldier Elite was part of a batch of figures that was "exclusive" to The Power-Con. Fortunately they didn't sell out and I was able to snatch one up in the after con sale. It's about 4" tall and is compatible with Glyos figures.

OMFG, it's OMFG 3!!!

Yup, it's that time again, October Toys has started shipping out the 3 series of OMFG figures. For those of you who don't know what OMFG is, it is a line of MUSCLE styled mini-figures, created by various artists, the top 5 are voted on by the fans/ public and crowd sourced via Kickstarter.

This here is Fruit Punch and was created by Scott Tolleson. He seems pretty angry, so I wouldn't mess with him!

Foreign Friday- Kamen Rider Fourze

Kamen Rider Fourze here hails from the 3rd Module on Fourze series of candy toys in Japan. Released around 2011 this figure was packed with a soda candy, which are pretty tasty if you ask me, the figure, stickers (which I didn't apply) and a windmill type of accessory. Not bad for a series that retails at about $3-4 retail.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program...

The Jacob Javitz Center where NYCC is held every year.

So as you can tell I ended up being busier than I thought, hence the lack of updates. Fortunately for you, my loyal followers, that means that I've got a reserve of toys in reserve to fawn over. But since NY Comic- Con was this past weekend I thought I'd share with you photos of some cool and interesting things that I saw. More after the jump. Enjoy!

Masked Rider

So I finally fished this bad boy out of storage not too long ago. Released over here in the states by Bandai, it represents the main character from the 1995 series. Despite the silly show from Saban, I liked it enough to spark my interest in the actual Japanese show, which led me down a slippery slope of Kamen (It means masked in Japanese btw) Rider marathons in front of my laptop or TV.

Space Figure Case

While I don't own this particular case but I did bid on it on eBay. Which is where this picture is from. Too bad I didn't win it. It's amazing how many cases were made in the 80's. Too bad they don't make them like this anymore. Also of note, I believe this one was a Sears exclusive as it says it on the bottom right of image on the case.

Toy Fail

There are some really misguided, dastardly collectors in my area. How could you give up a Zartan for a Black Panther? Not that there's anything wrong with Black Panther but at least use something else! Lol. These people... :(

Good news everybody!!!

So I finally fixed my GOOD phone, so I have a GOOD camera on that phone and I can start taking pictures again. If only I could find my USB cable for my regular camera... Well, in the meanwhile enjoy this pic that I didn't realize I had on Picasa.

Avenger Assemble!

Sorry for the lack of updates. My fritzy good camera is working again and I took some pics but I seem to have misplaced the USB cable to upload them. Fortunately, I found these pics of the Avengers display at Toys R Us in Times Sq. NY. Enjoy while I shift through tons of action figures just to find a USB cable! Btw, sorry about the glares in some pics, there's A LOT of lights around there.

Flea Market Finds

Back in July I was helping my mom out at a local flea market were she was selling off old junk and for once, one of the tables had action figures. This is a rarity in my neighbor as most vendors usually have baby toys if at all.

So after diggin through TONS of Power Rangers toys, and there were ALOT, I managed to find these 3 little gems. These guys come from a STAR TOURS ride exclusive set that is/ was available at Disney parks. The vendor has all 5 five figures from the set but I only took this guys since the other 2 figures were a Chewbacca, which I have a better version of and Star Tours Officer who is just a red/ blue repaint of an Imperial officer. The other figures, which I bought are (from left to right) Ree Yees with a 3 lens camera, Kaink and Teek. Kaink And Teek were in the Ewok movies that came out in the 80's.
