Nazi Zombies! Hell Yes!

No love for the Nazis, but if you are going to fight evil, might as well fight a double dose. I found these plastic army men bags of Zombies at War on Amazon. 35 figures, half grey Nazis, half green GIs. Let the battle begin.

Funko Sci-Fi Mini Figures

I love Funko's mini-fig blind bags, especially the Walking Dead ones. The Big Bang Theory ones were cool too, but they were smaller. Game of Thrones was cool but felt hollow - so they seemed cheaper. The Walking Dead set the standard.

So when I found out the Sci-Fi ones were similar size and density and grabbed one, I had to have them all. Well, I don't have them all, but here are the ones I do have (pictured below).

Figures not shown here include Predator with green blood, Invisible Predator, Alien, Metallic Alien, ET, Spock, Mars Attacks, Mal from Firefly, Rocketeer, and Judge Dredd.

MegaBloks Call of Duty Nuketown

Even though everything is announced on the internet months before it arrives at stores, I just haven't made the habit yet of routinely looking at the Megabloks.com website. Maybe I should. Although, maybe I shouldn't because then you get wicked cool surprises like this when you walk into a Walmart while traveling on business. Honestly, I would never walk into a Walmart near my house during normal business hours. This one I hit as I pull into town in the early morning when the dregs of humanity haven't shown up yet. I am not talking about everyone, but damn, it is a genetic bouillabaisse in that place every time I walk in.

I digress - the latest MegaBloks set I found was this Nuketown set which shows a 1950s "test town" where the military and government used to see what a nuke would do to your average suburban town. Included in the set are a 50s suburban house, some type of clock tower (counting down the nuke's arrival?), two CoD soldiers, and two mannequins - which used to be placed in the nuke towns.

So cool - can't wait to build this one.

A Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

I am thoroughly enjoying the renaissance of new 3-3/4" action figures from Super 7's ReAction line, along with some great ones from Bif Bang Pow (Twilight Zone and Big Bang Theory). In keeping with the retro line, thought I'd have them hang out at the vintage cantina.

Hallmark Alien Ornament

Because nothing celebrates the holiday spirit (joy, love, peace) like a representation of the ultimate killing machine in the universe.

McFarlane Walking Dead Building Sets - Daryl With Chopper

In recent years, LEGO has become the #1 toy company in the world. With licenses that include Star Wars, The Hobbit, and others, toy companies such as MegaBloks, KNex, and Hasbro's KREO have jumped into the fray.

And now, McFarlane Toys enters the building block aisle, with sets based on the immensely popular AMC Walking Dead line up.

Four sets were released this past October. Daryl with Chopper, The Governor's Room with his room full of fish-tank heads, the Prison Tower and Gate set and a 5 pack of characters. Blind bags of other characters are also available.

So far, I only purchased Daryl and the Character 5-pack. My New Year's resolution is to actually build them, and see if I will jump into this line. The prison wall set looks pretty cool. We shall see.

These Ain't the Mother Effin Droids Your Looking For

A little fun with the ReAction Pulp Fiction figures, along with some vintage Kenner Star Wars.
