Sunday Special: Tron, TMNT, Playmates, Thundercats, LJN, Lego, Street Fighters, Space Cobra

The original Tron action figures collection were great.


Back in the days, my younger brother was a HUGE fan of the Playmates TMNT. Now Isaac is collecting them.

 

Always loved Thundercats! Here's some lesser known figures.


Custom Lego Street Fighters!


A strange Space Cobra figurine. Wish Alexandre Aja had made his live action adaptation.

Saturday Movie

Saturday Movie

Isaac and myself love movies. Now every Saturday we will quickly talk about a movie we recently watched. Hope you enjoy and share in your views with us.

Jurassic World

Located off the coast of Costa Rica, the Jurassic World luxury resort provides a habitat for an array of genetically engineered dinosaurs, including the vicious and intelligent Indominus rex. When the massive creature escapes, it sets off a chain reaction that causes the other dinos to run amok. Now, it's up to a former military man and animal expert (Chris Pratt) to use his special skills to save two young brothers and the rest of the tourists from an all-out, prehistoric assault.

A fun but predictable computer generated summer film.

Director: Colin Trevorrow
Running time: 125 minutes
Released: 2015

Horizon Zero Dawn

We got the Horizon Zero Dawn video game on PS4 (Playstation 4) the day it came out. Such an amazing game. The plot revolves around Aloy, a hunter and archer living in a world overrun by robots. Having been an outcast her whole life, she sets out to discover the dangers that kept her sheltered.

We completed the main story and tons of side quests. The open world is HUGE and there is so much to do. Great soundtrack and gorgeous visuals.

Pokémon

One of the most popular aspect of the Pokémon universe are the trading cards. The very first cards were released in Japan in 1996.

Players assume the role of a Pokémon trainer and use their Pokémon to battle their opponents'. Players play Pokémon to the field and attack their opponent's Pokémon. A Pokémon that has sustained enough damage is knocked out, and the player who knocked it out draws a Prize card.

Here's some new GX cards!

Sunday Special: Voltron, Matchbox, Inhumanoids, Hasbro, Remco, The Warlords, Ventriloquist

Remember the original Voltron collection? Those were great. Check out this cool ad.


The Inhumanoids from Hasbro is one of the most underrated action figures series ever!


The Warlords from Remco was the coolest of the Masters of the Universe "clones".


As a kid, I always wanted a Ventriloquist doll.

Rocky IV

During an exhibition match, Rocky's friend Apollo Creed is mercilessly beaten to death by hulking Russian newcomer Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren). Rocky vows payback against Drago and flies to Russia to train for a Christmas Day fight. Despite their different training methods, Rocky and Drago both wage a long and intense match.

An action packed epic Cold War "propaganda" which surprisingly still remains a lot of fun.

Director: Sylvester Stallone

Zardoz! Yes this is based on the Sean Connery film.


Back in the 1980s, Tonka made these cool WWF Wrestling Buddies.

Rocky III

Rocky has been holding the title as the heavyweight champion until he is defeated by a brutal challenger, and now must regain his fighting spirit through a big rematch, trained by an unlikely ally: his old nemesis Apollo Creed.

A fun and over the top sequel, which is probably the best in the franchise. It features a great cast including an impressive Hulk Hogan and Mr. T, who owns the screen.

Director: Sylvester Stallone
Running time: 99 minutes
Released: 1982
