Hot Wheels DC Comics + Kenner's Tree Tots

Got this very cool Hot Wheels DC Comics of the Joker. It was 50% off and it looks very cool so I grabbed it for Isaac and I.

I just saw this online last week and was stunned! I remembered owning this as a kid and loving it so much. In 1975, Kenner released Tree Tots, a Fisher Price's Little People competitor. Basically this was a tree that with the push of a button (on top of the tree) revealed a three-room house, complete with an elevator, staircase, swing, and garage. The playset included six figures: Treemont, the dad; Willow, the mom; Chip, the son; Honey, the daughter; Chestnut, the cat; and Barky, the family dog.

In 1984, Kenner reused the mold of the Family Tree House for the Ewok Family Hut. According to Recycling the Force, however, Lucasfilm would not allow Kenner to simply change the color and name on the playset:

“Although, in terms of design, the Ewok toy borrowed extensively from Kenner’s very successful Treetot house, it was entirely retooled. According to Kenner sources, Lucasfilm would not allow the toy company to tie a purely recycled version of the Treetot product to their license. So Kenner totally resculpted the toy. In the end, the Ewok Family Hut borrowed the basic design and interior workings of the older toy and simply cloaked them in an updated outer casing.”

This is now on the top of our TO FIND list!

Lego Marvel + Hasbro's Avengers Infinite Series

We pre-ordered the Lego Marvel Superheroes video game on the PS3. This was one of our most anticipated game of the year. And with that pre-order, we got a very cool exclusive Lego Iron Patriot minifigure!

It probably took Isaac a minute to built. Very cool minifigure that will go great in our ever growing Lego collection!

Here's a look at the very cool Avengers Infinite Series action figures. Hyperion and Grim Reaper are on our must buy list.

Thundercats! + Teen Titans by Funko

Last but not least we got Claudus!

Claudus comes with the Sword of Omens and an embedded magnet, called ThunderLynx.

Now we hope to find the few we are still missing. Always loved Thundercats and we were both kind of sad that the recent TV series and toys were cancelled.

Here's a look at the upcoming Teen Titans by Funko!

Happy Holidays!

Isaac and I will also like to wish everyone a happy holiday season! All the best, lots of toys, have fun and be safe! Of course we will continue our daily updates since we got way too many cool new stuff lately!

Thundercats!

The next one I got for Isaac and I was Cheetara.

Cheetara is an expert fighter whose duty is to protect Lion-O and the Sword of Omens at any cost. She is also one of the few Thundercats female action figure available.

Thundercats!

While doing the groceries, I found lots of Thundercats action figures at 50% off!! Amazing deal, so I got all the ones we didn't owned.

First was Panthro!

Standing at 6" tall, this is a big, bulky and extremely fun figure. Love the details, weapon and articulations.

- 50 Years of Toys

Found this amazing image that showcased some of the most popular toys of the last 50 years!

The Walking Dead

Here's all of our Walking Dead action figures so far!

The Walking Dead

One of the coolest Walking Dead figure we own…

Penny, who's The Governors Daughter is one creepy little zombie. She comes with a bucket of fresh body parts are a leg, foot, hand, intestines, heart and Rick's hand. There is also a fish tank with trophy heads collected by her father. And one of the trophy heads can be used as an alternate for Michonne's Pet Zombie.

The Walking Dead

Another zombie from the TV series. The Bicycle girl zombie is crawling trying to get you. She is also the first zombie Deputy Rick Grimes encountered in the season 1 opener.

The Walking Dead

This "RV" zombie or screwdriver zombie is creepy and just want to eat some flesh!

During the opening scene of season 2, a mob of flesh-eating zombies swarm the group. Unaware of the flesh-eating zombie onslaught, Andrea becomes trapped in the recreational vehicle when one climbs aboard. Under attack from this "RV" Zombie, Andrea fights back, stabbing the zombie in the eyeball with a screwdriver. Our zombie figure simulates that scene with a flip-back head play-action and a removable screwdriver in it's eye.

The Walking Dead

This disgusting zombie is from the TV series 2 collection. It appeared in the second season and its known as the "well zombie". This is by far one of the sickest looking zombies so far on the series and this figure is a stomach-churning.

It has a pull-apart play-action that reveals his soft gooey guts inside!

The Walking Dead

Isaac loves zombies. So it was only a matter of time before he got into The Walking Dead. At his birthday he got the Bloody Black and White Zombie 3 pack.

Lego Minecraft + Lego DC Comics

At his birthday, Isaac got two new Lego Minecraft micro world sets. This is The Village.

It has 466 bricks including four micro figures; two pigs, a villager and a zombie. If you'r lucky you might even have more micro figures in your box like we did. Overall its a cool set that represent one of the biomes of Minecraft. Soon we'll open the next one…

And here's a look at some of the upcoming Lego DC Comics mini figures!

Lego minifigures series 11 + Lego Marvel 2014

One minifigure we somehow forgot to talk about was the Barbarian! A very cool Conan-like minifigure.

There isn’t a monster, prison tower, or evil tyrant in the world that the Barbarian wouldn’t try to demolish. With powerful muscles from a life in the savage wilderness and a sword gripped in each hand, he smashes, bashes, and crashes his way through every obstacle in his path, no matter how tough or dangerous it may be.

Brickset has posted an image from Photobucket of the 2014 Lego Marvel Super Heroes sets which comes from an Australian consumer catalog. The image shows all five sets we were reported before.

Lego + Lego Simpsons

For his birthday, I got Isaac the very cool and web site exclusive Lego set (#850487) Halloween. It features a glow in the dark Ghost, a Witch, a tomb and a zombie!!!!

Yes! We finally own a Lego zombie!

Overall this is a cool set, even the box was nice. There are some cool accessories such as serpents, chains and vines.

And here's a better look at some of the upcoming Lego Simpsons minifigures!

Spelunky

Shopkeepers are old men who own the various shops that can be found in any of the main areas of the cave. Spelunkers can buy various items from them, provided they have enough money.

If you're feeling brave, it is also possible to rob a shop by either murdering the shopkeeper or by simply snatching the items and running out of the front door, although a successful heist is very difficult pull off.

Shopkeepers are merciless enemies and have zero tolerance for provocation.

Every shopkeeper carries a shotgun, and will not hesitate to use it as soon as you put a foot wrong in their store. They are also in surprisingly good health, capable of physically outperforming the Spelunkers in both athletics and toughness.
