Minifigure Review: C-3PO from Kinder Joy: Star Wars by Ferrero

    I'm a sucker for any candy product that also gives me a cool minifigure. While I like Yowie the best, Kinder Joy is a pretty cool product, too.  Kinder Joy has released a number of licensed Kinder Eggs such as Frozen, Marvel, Disney Jurassic World, Disney Princesses, and now Star Wars. Last week I was at the store grabbing something before Halloween (I really don't remember what) but I discovered these at the register and had to snag one. I'm a sucker for anything Star Wars and some candy with a Star Wars toy included was absolutely irresistible. When I opened my Kinder Egg I discovered C-3PO inside, although I almost didn't recognize him because of the red arm. Let's take a quick look at this mini C-3PO after the break...

Re-Halloween Special: Sally (D30) from The Nightmare Before Christmas Metalfigs by Jada Toys

    I reviewed the Jack Skellington Metalfig during The Revenge of 31 Days of Toy Terror and now I'm going to check out the second figure in the set: Sally! I picked these up at Walgreens near the end of September and, thus far, these are the only two figures I've seen in person (although I've seen images of a Zero and Jack as the Pumpkin King). These little metal figures are fun and while I don't like them as much as the Nano Metalfigs, they're still pretty cool. Let's check out Sally on today's Re-Halloween special after the break...

Action Figure Review: Stormtrooper (Mimban) from Star Wars: The Black Series Phase III by Hasbro

    While we're still smack dab in the middle of Re-Halloween I'm jumping back in to reviewing some action figures I've acquired over the past few weeks. Lots of cool new stuff has come out lately and today I'm checking out a new figure from Star Wars: The Black Series: The Mimban Stormtrooper! Officially known as the Wet-weather gear Stormtrooper, these troops wear modified basic Stormtrooper outfits in order to fight off the wet and swampy terrain of the planet Mimban. Man, how cool is it that Solo used Mimban? Mimban first appeared in Splinter of the Mind's Eye (which I believe was the second Expanded Universe novel I ever read!) and has shown up a number of times over the years. Man, Solo was filled with great references to the Star Wars universe, wasn't it? Anyways, the Mimban Stormtrooper is a Wal-Mart exclusive and, fortunately, it seems like he's quite readily available. I've seen these guys in their distinctive black and grey packaging at nearly every Wal-Mart I've been too so hopefully that's a good sign. Let's check out the Mimban Stormtrooper after the break...

Re-Halloween Special: Orc Legion Builder 3 from Mythic Legions by Four Horsemen Studios

  For today's Re-Halloween review I have to give thanks to Zack Fenton, a friend I met on the one of the Mezco: One:12 Collective Facebook groups. Zack sent me this figure as a bonus during a trade we made back in July or August and I really appreciate it! Thanks again, Zack! I try to mix up everything in 31 Days of Toy Terror and Re-Halloween so I decided that a monstrous Orc would be a great addition to the line-up. This is actually the first Mythic Legions action figure I've owned, which might surprise you. Mattel's Masters of the Universe Classics is one of my favorite toylines ever and, in some ways, Mythic Legions is kind of a spiritual successor to that line. I really like the look of the figures but the fact that they typically have been sold in huge sets has kind of turned me off. There are quite a few lines lines like this that I have been interested in (Mythic Legions, Vitruvian Hacks, Zombie Lab, and Dime Novel Legends all come to mind) but the amount of product offered at once combined with the price tag kept me from hopping in. I collect a lot of stuff and currently can't commit at once to that much product, sadly. Of course, there is no reason I can't cherry pick, right? This Orc is officially named Orc Legion Builder 3 and he is specifically an army builder figure. They tend to run about $10 bucks cheaper than the named characters and while they have a bit less paintwork, they're useful for serving as generic villains. There really isn't a comparable Orc figure in MOTUC, so that's probably where he'll end up in my collection. MOTUC needs more Orcs! Let's check him out after the break...

Re-Halloween Special: Werewolf & Witch #7309 from Playmobil

    Playmobil had quite a few Halloween themed releases this season. So many, in fact, that I'm having to squeeze a few of them into Re-Halloween! I reviewed the Mummy & Grim Reaper set a week or two ago so now it's time to check out the next of the three Halloween 2-packs for 2018: The Werewolf and the Witch! This is a very colorful set and it is another one that I picked up during an early October visit to Dancing Bear Toys in Hendersonville, NC. Ready to check out these two spooky Halloween icons? Then join me after the break...

Re-Halloween Special: Halloween Witch by DTSC Imports

    Halloween may have come and gone now but guess what? There's still a lot to look forward too! Candy is on sale, Halloween decorations are on clearance, and we still have next week's Re-Halloween to look forward too! What's that? You're not familiar with Re-Halloween? Then you better check this out! OK, up to spooky speed now? Then let's check out the first toy in our Re-Halloween countdown: A spooky electronic Halloween Witch from DTSC Imports. This actually isn't mine, though. It belongs to my daughter, Aly Fox. My mother bought it for her for Halloween back in 2017 and we really like it. It has lights, sound, and a motion sensor. Aly Fox tends to not turn it off, though, and it has scared me on more than one occasion during a late night trip to the kitchen. I've seen these at many dollar stores, specifically at Dollar Tree. There's also a ghost that is pretty similar (we have it, too). Let's check this Halloween Witch out after the break...
