I have a few of these “mucking about” myself. Mego put out the greatest toys in the 70s.

As a side note, my Red Hulk showed up today and I also picked up a High Evolutionary because “why not?”.

Cool.

70's toys rocked!

Here's my lot - they're still up in the loft somewhere, mucking about...

 

I made my own comic about them too:

Happy times 

Who is the little sexy monkey in the lower left? 

Penguin?  Aladdin with a top hat?

Now this is an Iron Man I like. 1/12 scale, MK 46, my favourite armour he's worn (along with the MK VII) and this figure looks particularly sweet. It's by ThreeZero, and comes with a stand, four repulsor effects, two forearm rockets, and five pairs of hands. It's mixed media, with plastic, metal, and of course light-up eyes and chest, and is $100USD. I had to preorder it. Let's hope the final product is as good as the prototype. Not really any finicky bits, so not much to break, which was a hallmark of their products for a while. Release date 3rd quarter. Pics and stuff are here. Proportions look spot on to what I remember.

Penguin. If you look closely, Bobba Blue next to him is wearing his purple stripey shirt. They were into mix and match, the Baz Gang.

My BAT finally arrived from Pulse. Nice! Looking forward to the rest of my order showing up from BBTS.

Stopped by a Peddlers Mall while we were out of town last weekend, and found another GI Joe Classified shipper/display for $20. Couldn't pass that up. I got my first one directly from Walmart, so it was free. They don't come up for sale often, and when they do, they're a lot more than $20, so I had to grab it. They make for a really nice display. Wish I had a couple more!

yes the remote controls!!! those have come a long way, if ever the urge to play!  Probably too old for my skateboard haha. Pop a ollie and that's about as far as I go. Still nice to see the creative sides

I did a couple laps around the house before the family started giving me funny looks.

Mercy! We're only how we are on the inside that counts. Yes, been craving the planes and car tracks that apply to the ceiling as well haha. It's not ever something I need, which takes the fun away if I'm honest. It's where the freedom lies to make it enjoyable that "really" matters. Sometimes the best laid plans, even for a day of joy can be all but a hope

I dig it. I've heard from some folks who don't like it, and I'm like, it's a rocket powered muscle car Batmobile. What on earth is not cool about that? Even if the movie blows (and I hope it doesn't) this car is righteous!

[Buzzetta]

Every Batmobile has been a star.  

Even the one from Batman and Robin was iconic in its own film.  That is one thing that WB/DC has never disappointed us with. 

Even the Tumbler... when I first saw that I was just impressed at reimagining the Batmobile into that beast of a machine.

I hate Twilight and have also not really liked any Batman movie since Batman Returns, so I'm prepared to hate this one too, but the trailers so far have been decent.  Colin Farrell completely unrecognizable as Penguin.

[B2D327]

Started adding the DBZ figures to the collection. There’s an Evil Majin Buu and a Brolly I’ve got my eyes on next but for now…

5% chance that I watch it.   Dude is a wagon.

For you guys that got the Transformers Ark...

Someone made a 3rd Party upgrade set that fills in the gaps, provides for better hands, and adds some cannon for ship mode.

I got this back in 2020, but it's topical after today's episode of Book of Boba Fett, so here's the Black Series Cad Bane.  This is one of Hasbro's top ten Star Wars figures they've ever made, so if you like Star Wars action figures definitely pick this guy up, he's amazingly well done.

I just picked this up a couple of weeks ago. I’m glad I picked it up when I did
