James Bond - Spy Who Loved Me - Lotus Esprit How Wheels

I've never been a big James Bond fan, but I always liked the Lotus Esprit cars he drove in several of the 80s movies. Hot Wheels just released the Lotus that goes aquatic in the Spy Who Loved Me.

It's a fun little car. And a pretty awesome movie as well.

Bif Bang Pow Twilight Zone Series 2

They finally arrived - series 2 of Bif Bang Pow's Twilight Zone series. The odd thing about this - is that Series 3 arrived before Series 2 - perhaps we've entered the Twilight Zone.

Series 2 is a great set featuring some iconic figures from the Twilight Zone television show. The set includes the "Eye of the Beholder" Doctor, Nurse and Bandaged Patient, the 3 eyed Venusian from the "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up", "The Night of the Meek" Santa Claus, and Anthony Fremont from "It's a Good Life."

I do like the Collect Them All! with the photos of figures from all 3 series. Very Kenner-ish!

Star Wars The Force Awakens Figure Set

I've been able to grab most of the new 3-3/4 figures from Star Wars - The Force Awakens. But where to put them....? How about some trays from the old Star Wars Kenner vinyl carrying case. Seems like an easy enough solution. Now if only Hasbro could manufacture some updated ones with some great cover art from Force Awakens, that would be pretty cool.

Star Wars the Force Awakens 6 inch Black Series - Waves 1 and 2

I love the Star Wars 6 inch Black Series figures. Series 1 from the Force Awakens were released on Force Friday - September 4th. A few stores also received the Series 2 set. I have yet to see these out in the wild - but they are fairly easy to find on Ebay. Captain Phasma seems to be the most popular and most rare so picking her up is still a bit pricey. She is getting down into the $40s but the early day auctions were up at $150.

Anyway, Series 1 included Finn, Rey, Kylo Ren, Chewbacca, and First Order Stormtrooper. Series 2 includes Captain Phasma, Poe Dameron in X-Wing pilot gear, Constable Zuvio, and the wicked cool looking Guavian Enforcer.

This is What Makes the Hunt So Fun

Collectors of Star Wars: The Force Awakens 3-3/4" figures have been frustrated to say the least. I hadn't seen any of the new figures on the shelves for awhile. One day, while traveling on business, I hit a Walmart store around 7:30AM. As I walked near the Star Wars toys - (there weren't many) - I saw the bright blueness of the new droid PZ4C0.

Sure enough - it was him, along with the other new figures from that series - Goss Toowars, General Hux, and the Guavian Enforcer. Grabbed one of each - left the remaining for other collectors, and snapped this photo, cause I never thought I would see anything like that again.

Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends Avengers 4 Pack

The really cool thing about this set is - Bruce Banner!!!  Specifically Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner. The rest of the set is standard reissue and repaints, but the addition of Banner is exceptional - especially since it seems to be difficult to get the actor's likeness rights on the figures.

This set comes with Thor, Black Widow, Bruce Banner and Hawkeye. Can't wait to set up an Avengers - Age of Ultron diorama with this. I still think we need a good Tony Stark figure - and a Pepper Potts figure.
