The January Review: Favorites of 2016

I noticed a trend of awesome video game toys for 2016, but that doesn't mean those were the only awesome toys!  Here's a list of general favorites from my first year with a baby, so I...you know, didn't really get to talk about most of them.

Octobersbest: Mythic Legions SKELETONS

It's time, once again, for Octobersbest! Wait...*checks calendar* CRAP IT'S WAY PAST TIME FOR OCTOBERSBEST! Well I better catch up with a megaton punch of pictures, right?

Okay, Okay, a few more Mythic Legions Shots

MYTHIC LEGIONS BUSTED DOWN MY DOOR

CRAP, DUDE, I barely had enough time to collect my thoughts for the HACKS review!

The Four Horsemen's Mythic Legions: Prototypes

With my planned post once again pushed back, I turn to some other items I'm currently excited about!  This'll just be a quick 'n easy photo session, but it's only because these are so easy to pose!

Coulson and the Furious Hill: Marvel Legends Avengers 3-Pack

I dunno what happened!  At some point Hasbro was like: "We're goin' back 3 3/4 inch figures!" and Marvel Legends fell to the wayside.  Now they're all like: "Okay, back to 6 inch again!"  Whadoya want from me Hasbro? 

Oh right, money.

Creepy Skeletor Photoshoot

I've still got a post coming tomorrow, but I thought I'd toss this up beforehand.  I was looking through my Photobucket and totally forgot that I had taken these shots on a whim.  This has got to be my favorite look for classic Skeletor - the head designed off of Alcala's artwork from the old minicomics.

SPOOPY

S'what it is.

Tamashii Effect BURNING FLAME - Suddenly, Pictures!

W-where did all these pictures come from?!  All I did was sit down to open my new Tamashii Effect Burning Flame parts and - hours later - there's a ton of pictures!

Give that Skeletor a Dragon. Skeletors Love Dragons (Sept. '12)

OH MAN.  I was super looking forward to this one through the whole toyline up to this point.  This was MY Skeletor, ya know?  My only Skeletor, growing up. 

So naturally, this is the only figure where I have major complaints.  BAH.

And Your Power is....A Long Neck! (Sept. '12)

So I've got the Classics Grayskull on the picture table and I thought: Hey!  I could use this as a background and get back to reviewing the MotUC figures while I work on the Castle itself!

So why not?  Here's Mekaneck in all his mekagiraffe-like glory.

The Only Snakes with Nipples (Sept '12)

 

HEY HEY what's goin' on folks?  Where was I?  Oh yes, He-Man stuff and maybe some other things.  Well how about the Snake Men two pack of army building madness?  This baby came out in September of 2012 and BOY HOWDY it brought the goods like mama's homemade biscuits (assumin' yo mama make da biscuits). 

Evilmike and his Mighty Forge

Guy named Evilmike over on He-Man.org apparently makes some awesome 3D designs of weaponry from all over the MotU spectrum.  Well, if you've got the model, I guess a website called Shapeways can make 'em!  Evilmike's Shapeways section has all of his current work, and they're all fantastic!

I got a few items from him not long ago, though I will admit that they are of a special plastic that Evilmike helped me get (I don't believe the gray plastic use on my swords is available at Shapeways). 

KHAAAAANN!! (Mar. '12)

The Horrible Green Giant or Evil-Lyn Needs Some Sun (Dec. '11)

I will do a full pictorial on Demo-Man because this guy is the shit, but for now I'll just keep doin' how I do and post what I did when I got 'em.
