Lego Star Wars III The Clone Wars

Isaac and I love Lego.
Isaac and I love Star Wars.
Isaac and I love Nintendo.
So we did get the latest Lego Star Wars III The Clone Wars video game on the Wii the day it came out!

Its a very cool game that features some very epic fights! There are tons of puzzles to solve and secret new areas. Using the force you can pick up and throw enemies - even turning them into weapons! The multiplayer co-op has been improved. There are tons of cool characters to unlock.

The story is actually very good and it spans over 16 different star systems! Some boss battles are simply crazy! For Isaac and I this will probably contender for game of the year!

Batman Happy Meal

The second set we got (#2) featured Firestorm, Two-Face and Solomon Grundy. We now have more baddies then good guys!

One of Isaac's favorite super hero figure is the original Firestorm from the classic Kenner Super Powers collection. So he was very happy to have a new version of this character!

Batman Happy Meal

McDonald's Happy Meal these days features the very cool figures based on the Batman The Brave and the Bold animated TV series. Not surprisingly, we were there the first day they came out and got the first two sets.

Below is set #1 featuring Batman, Penguin and the Batmobile. The figures themselves are pretty basics and  not that detailed but Isaac simply loves them! For him its another Batman collection that he will enjoy playing with!

Ghost Rider

Isaac finally got his very first Ghost Rider action figure!

Loosely based from the live action film, this is the Fire Blast Ghost Rider. Standing 6" tall, its a very detailed and articulated figure. It comes with a cool illuminated "flame launcher" that fires two projectiles.

Ben 10

The other Ben 10 action figure we got was Vilgax! The intergalactic alien conqueror, a Chimera Sui Generis from the planet Vilgaxia, who serves as Ben's archenemy and most recurring opponent. He has since appeared in almost all seasons of the original series, as well as season 3 of Alien Force.

This was the Ben 10 action figure we have been looking for over two years now! It is almost impossible to find or simply just too expensive. We got the Battle version which goes for around $80 online. Its a nice action figure and Vilgax is simply bad ass! And if your wondering... I got it for $2.

Ben 10

Two other Ben 10 action figures we got were Diamonhead and Upgrade!

This is actually our third version of Diamonhead... what can we say, we just love him! He is one of the original Ben 10 alien character. Diamondhead is a silicon-based lifeform that is about 7 feet in height. His body is composed of extremely sharp and durable green crystals. He wears a uniform similar to Ben's clothing which is black on one half and white on the other.

Upgrade is the Codon Stream's sample of a Galvanic Mechamorph (mecha meaning machine and morph meaning transform) of the planet Galvan B, a formerly uninhabited moon orbiting Galvan Prime. Its our very first version of this cool character that we own.

Our Ben 10 collection is nicely building itself!

Ben 10

For the past 2 years and a half, Isaac and I have been addicted to the Ben 10 animated TV show and action figures. It is about a boy who acquires a watch-like alien device attached to his wrist that allows him to turn into alien creatures. All fun!

I managed to find a couple of Ben 10 figures online for almost nothing!

First there is Upchuck, he is a Gourmand (from the French word "gourmet," meaning "one who enjoys fine food" or "glutton") from the planet Peptos XI ("Peptos" being the Greek word for "cooked" or "digested"). Its a big and cool looking figure and actually the very first version of this character we own.

Second is Fourarms! Ben's preferred offensive form is Fourarms, a Tetramand (tetra meaning "four" in Greek, mand being "arms" in Latin) from the desert planet Khoros. Khoros epitomizes a dystopia, resulting in the strength-oriented Tetramands. This is our second version of the character.

Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice...

Guess who's back? Galactus!

The devour of worlds came back for a third time to try to eliminate the goods guy. Along with his servant the Silver Surfer, Galactus was joined by most of the bad guys from the Marvel universe.

The victory was almost theirs... until Isaac decided to bring in the AT-AT from the Star Wars universe. The gigantic robot almost destroyed Galactus who soon found himself falling down and now at the mercy of the good guys!

Star Wars

As a gift from his aunt Stephanie, Isaac got a very cool 70 pieces Star Wars puzzle that came with a even cooler Yoda figure! He loves it! It comes in a very nice cylindrical case.

Marvel Universe

Along with getting our very first Thor action figure, we bought the Wreckler. Looking at the back of his card, we found out that this bad guy was actually one of Thor's foe! The Asgardian magic turned him into a being powerful enough to challenge the mighty Thor!

The figure itself is beautiful, nicely sculpted and one of the coolest looking from the Marvel Universe collection.
