WWE Legends 6 Ultimate Warrior


Added the Mattel WWE Legends series 6 Ultimate Warrior figure to the WWE section.  This figure is from Wrestlemania 6 when the Ultimate Warrior defeated Hulk Hogan to win the WWF Championship for the first time.  This is probably my favorite version of the Ultimate Warrior that Mattel has released so far, probably because I watched his match more time than I could ever count as a kid.  The figure comes with the classic winged eagle belt with the yellow strap that the Warrior wore after he won the belt.

Transformers Masterpiece Red Alert MP-14


Transformers Masterpiece Red Alert MP-14 has been added to the Transformers page.  This is my first Takara Masterpiece figure since MP-1 Optimus Prime and it will not be my last.  I love this figure, his transformation is fun and complicated, but not overly complicated.  His articulation and look in both alt mode and robot mode are excellent and the packaging is simply amazing.  Hasbro is so far behind Takara in the packaging department its ridiculous.  Red Alert comes with his gun, shoulder mounted rocket launcher, and electric effects for his head to recreate the episode where he gets damaged and thinks the Autobots are against him.  He also comes with a stat card and beautiful instructions that I can't read, another area where Takara blows Hasbro out of the water.  These Takara Masterpiece figures are amazing and I can't wait to get more!

Macho Madness Opens the WWE Page!


I'm opening up my WWE section with one of my favorite figures I have so far, the Ringside Collectibles exclusive Macho Madness Randy Savage.  I loved the nWo and this figure is a beautiful representation of Savage from his days in the nWo.  He comes with all the accessories to recreate his entrance and the paint on them is top notch.  He comes with his shirt, glasses, bandanna, and weight belt.

Vacation Find!



On my way to Disney World for vacation and we stopped off in Valdosta Georgia to eat lunch and stopped by Walmart. Of course I ran through the toys and before I could even spot him, my wife pointed out the Honky Tonk Man hanging right there on the pegs!  A completely unexpected find and a great way to kick off the vacation.

Masterpiece MP-10 Optimus Prime Added


What better to way to open up the new Transformers section with the greatest Transformer of them all, the great Optimus Prime!

The MP-10 mold of Optimus Prime is without a doubt my favorite mold of this character ever.  I have the original Takara MP-1 version also and to me this figure blows him away in every way.  The MP-1 is still an amazing figure, but this figure is hands down the best version ever.  He comes with his trailer, Roller, energon ax, blaster, matrix, and a Spike figure that fits in Prime himself or Roller, or even the 3 different seats in his trailer.  I chose the Hasbro version for one simple reason, the eyes.  I absolutely love the light blue eyes on the Hasbro version, to me the Takara version's eyes look like there's no life to them.  It looks like a dead or sleeping version when compared to the Hasbro eyes.
