NECA 1/4 Scale TMNT Donatello (90's Movie version)

 The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is PERFECTION in my mind.

 For a kid who was obsessed with the lean green fighting teens, the release of a live action Ninja Turtles film was a dream come true.

Of course the film was a huge success adding to the phenomenon that is the TMNT property. It's still regarded by many as THE BEST Ninja Turtles film still to this day.

Bandai Sprukits: Batman (Arkham City version)

Snap on model kits aren't a new thing in the collector community, but a lot of them you would have to either paint them, glue them, and in the end most were just glorified statues. Not the case with these Sprukits from Bandai.

What Bandai has done was design snap on kits that after put together create fully articulated figures with accessories! There are 3 different level versions, level 1 being easy, 2 medium, and 3 difficult.

Marvel Legends 12" Spider-Man

'Spider-Man, Spider-Man! Does whatever a spider can...'

Does he? Does he, really? Those of us who've collected Marvel Legends for a long time will remember that back in the day, when Toy Biz produced Marvel Legend figures (before Hasbro got the license), there was a line of 12" Marvel Legends-like figures known as Marvel Legends Icons. They were really great with fantastic sculpting and a ton of articulation like their 6" predecessor.

I don't think the 12" scale caught on because most people wanted to expand their 6" collection. Also, at the time the 12" scale market wasn't what it is today.

Impulse Buys-Part 3 (the final chapter...for now)

Well, here's the final part of this 3 part blog entry of my impulse buys. If you need to see what the criteria was to be listed, it's found in part 2.

 Video Game figures

I'm looping in 'Movies based on video games' here since to me they are kinda in the same thought.

Impulse Buys part 2

Continuing the theme of things I've bought in the past that I either A) realized I should have never bought them in the first place and in turn sold them off or B) still have and have no room for them in my main collection that they got sent to the basement bin abyss.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Movie and comic sets-3 3/4")

I tend to get caught up in the hype of movies...a lot! Most comic book films that have an associated toy line will get my attention and 9 times out of 10 I'm buying some action figure or toy associated with it.
