Montreal Comiccon part 1

Isaac and I attended the Montreal ComicCon last weekend with some friends. We had a great time. There was lots of vendors, cosplayers, booths, conferences and people to meet. I have to say that the whole organization was better this year. I've read that 42,000 visitors went to the event!

Here is Isaac as an hybrid of Wolverine and the Hulk along with his friend Calixa, who's Babydoll from Sucker Punch. More photos tomorrow...

Flea Market Hunting : Thundercats!

We got another Thundercats action figure... one that I've wanted for sometime now; the eight inch Lion-O! Released as part of the Classic Collector Series 1 (did they even released others?!), this is one amazing looking figure.

Superb sculpt with lots of details. He has some cool accessories like the Sword of Omens (Long Sword), Sword of Omens (Short Sword), Claw Shield and extra posed hand. He has 18 points of articulation.




Here he is compared to our original LJN's Lion-O.

Flea Market Hunting : Batman The Brave and the Bold

Its not secret that Isaac and I loved the Batman The Brave and the Bold animated TV series. Lately we've been lucky in finding more action figures from that show.

Now we found this bad buy but sadly we don't remember his name... anyone can help?


And here's a look at the upcoming Happy Meal'sBeware the Batman toys!

Flea Market Hunting : Masters of the Universe

Yes! Yes! Yes! We finally found one of my all time favourite MOTU character... Hordak!

Released in 1985 by Mattel, Hordak is one ultra cool character. While Skeletor was cool, Hordak was better. His Evil Horde was also one of coolest concept as part of the original Masters of the Universe series. He doesn't like He-man... or Skeletor. Is his probably the ultimate MOTU bad guy!

Isaac loves him too. Seriously I'm extremely proud of finally owning him again!

Flea Market Hunting : Thundercats

We finally got the Bandai Thundercats 4 Inch deluxe Action Figure Grune the Warrior!!!! He did come with his huge mace but was missing his bow, arrow and stand. Still a very cool and extremely mean looking figure!

Hopefully we will soon get more of those Bandai Thundercats!

Lego Legends of Chima

The Lego Legends of Chima Gorzan’s Gorilla Striker is a very cool set. Isaac pretty built it all by himself. It features four minifigures, three of which are Gorillas. They are all well detailed and look great. Gorzan's is Isaac's favourite. There is also a a small vehicle for the Raven along with some sort of perch.

The Gorilla mech is big, fully articulated and lots of fun. It also fires missiles so beware you ravens!
