Masters of the Universe Snake Mountain

At the Montreal ToyCon we got the Masters of the Universe Snake Mountain!

An amazing playset that I used to own as a kid. This one we got for only $15. It is not complete but still looks great and the microphone is working. Isaac loves it.



Now we need Hordak's Fright Zone, Castle Grayskull and Eternia!

ToyCon : Robocop

While we still can't find a complete Robocop action figure (with helmet), we we lucky enough to find his car, the Robo-1. Its a very cool vehicle made by Kenner in the late 1980s.


We hope to find more like the bad guys, the Robo-Cycle, ED-260 and Robocop himself.

ToyCon : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

One of the coolest figure we got was this original TMNT Krang!

This alien brain was the true villain of the original animated series, something that was changed in the updated version. Its a simple yet very cool unique figure.

ToyCon : Ben 10

We got one of Isaac's favourite Ben 10 monster from the animated TV series, Armodrillo.

Armodrillo has a yellow-armored body and looks much like a robot. His head is similar to a Greek Corinthian helmet with two ears on it giving him the appearance of an armadillo. Armodrillo has a gray tail and jackhammer parts on his elbows, wrists and hands, creating the impression that Armodrillo is a digging robot. Despite the mechanical appearance, all of these aspects are in fact biological and natural to his race.

ToyCon : Power Lords

One of my most wanted action figure as a kid is finally mine… Power Lords.

Designed by Wayne Barlowe, Revell released in 1983 the Power Lords collection. This was a cool line of action figures but one that I never got back in the days simply because we couldn't find them around here.

Adam Power is an earthling, given the cosmic Power Jewel to protect the galaxy from the evil dictator, Arkus. Arkus is a nigh invincible foe, determined to take the Power Jewel as well as Volcan Rock, Adam Power’s secret stronghold, in his quest to conquer the galaxy.

Two heroes join Adam Power in the war against Arkus. They are Shaya, the Queen of Power and Sydot the Supreme.

But evil Arkus also has helpers…

ToyCon : Mr.T

One of my favourite action figure as a kid was this A-Team action figure of Mr.T as B.A. Baracus. Released by Galoob in 1983, this is a great action figure. Now we need to find the 12" version.

ToyCon : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

We also got the original Bebop from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. Its a cool figure and one of the essential bad guys from the original series. Playmates released it in 1990. Sadly it was missing his accessories but we got it for next to nothing.

ToyCon : Predator

We also got the Lasershot Predator. Released in 1995 by Kenner. This is a very cool Predator. He makes sounds while firing. He also comes with a helmet and weapon.

ToyCon : Predator

Isaac really wanted some new Predator action figures. We got the Nightstorm Predator. Released in 1994 by Kenner, this one comes with a mask, a weapon and a twin turbo blaster! Very cool!

ToyCon : Alien

Last June we attended the annual Montreal ToyCon.

There was so many great action figures available we where going crazy. But we had to limit ourselves to a budget. We still got some great stuff.

First was the just release Funko ReAction Alien figure. This is one we've been waiting for and we love it. The details are great and it really has the look and feel of those late 1970s action figure.


Here's what ReAction will have for sale exclusively at the upcoming San Diego ComicCon!

Montreal ToyCon : Marvel

Isaac got himself a very cool Marvel Superhero Squad game card starter kit. This was only $2. There are about 60 cards in it. He loves it!

Montreal ToyCon : Thundercats

Isaac got himself the very cool Thundertank!

It came with a 4" scaled exclusive figure of Snarf with embedded magnet called ThunderLynx, which will be used to activate a unique figure.

When you press the middle button on the ThunderTank to activate Lion-O's voice that says "Thundertank Fire". Other figures also can have their voice activate. And it features two Thunderracers.

Overall a cool vehicle.

Montreal ToyCon : Ben 10

The last Ben 10 action figure was Stinkfly.

Stinkfly is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Lepidopterran from the planet Lepidopterra. Stinkfly has a bug/insect body and 4 insect-like flat legs with 2 arms, whose hands are human-style ones with a black coloration, similar to fingerless gloves, and has 3 clawed fingers.

Montreal ToyCon : Ben 10

The next Ben 10 character we got was Wildvine. This is our very first version of this cool character.

Wildvine is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Florauna from the planets Flors Verdance and Xenon. Wildvine has five vine-like legs, four long fingers on his hands and flytrap-shaped flaps covering his head.

Montreal ToyCon : Ben 10

We love Ben 10. Its probably the very first series that Isaac got into. He was two years old at the time. The new animated TV series is great and our collection of Ben 10 action figures is a little insane by now but we still find some new one.

We got another version of Cannonbolt.

Cannonbolt is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an Arburian Pelarota from the destroyed planet Arburia. He is a hulking, broad-shouldered alien covered in natural, yellow armor plating on his back, shoulders, and the backs of his arms.

Montreal ToyCon : Cinema of Fear Tiny Terror

We also found Freddy Krueger, the last one of the Mezco's Cinema of Fear Tiny Terror figure we were missing. Now our collection is complete! But I wish they would release others such as Michael Myers, Pinhead, Chucky, Ghostface...
