Tuesday Toy Shopping!

I love days off, and this one started out right with a good old fashioned toy hunt in the wild! I buy a lot of stuff on the internet, but there's nothing like finding a great haul out on the town  :D

*Marvel Universe Savage Frost Giant & Loki
Awhile back before I got into Hasbro's Marvel Universe line, I had actually seen this set at a Wal-Mart on the other end of the county. Seeing it reviewed on Shartimus Prime's YouTube channel recently renewed my interest sharply, though I couldn't remember which of the three local Wal-Mart stores I had seen it, and figured it was likely a goner. Upon returning late this morning, I found the last one... I thought I'd died & gone to Toy Heaven... Wow!

*Marvel Universe Human Torch, Ghost Rider, & Spider-Woman
There were a lot of great single Marvel Universe at the same Wal-Mart I found Frost Giant at, too- including these three. This same Wal-Mart is where I found Thanos awhile back, and I usually have good luck there. There were several more I wanted, but I was running over budget so I took these & ran...

*Marvel Universe Ronin & Hand Ninja

Before finding Frost Giant, I hit a couple Toys 'R Us stores in South County and found these two awesome Marvel Universe figures- what a pair! Like Frost Giant, there were only one of each of these as well. I can imagine the epic battle photos these two will be starring in  :D

*Marvel Universe MiniMates Silver Centurion & Crimson Dynamo by Diamond Select

At the same Toys 'R Us, I found the last set of these two. I had passed on these before, but seeing them on JBoy's blog made me regret that and I vowed that if I saw them again I would buy them. My first MiniMates... I'm unsure if I'd buy these at the regular price, but these were marked down to south of five bucks. They'll make a great BIG TOY/little toy photo session with my Iron Man 2 Silver Centurion & Crimson Dynamo  :D

After all this greatness I hit the new Captain America movie in 3-D with my nephew Harry, which was totally awesome!! We had been planning on this for some time, and I must say that we both loved it  :D

Did all the fun stop there? Oh no, my Friends- for upon my return to the domicile I found this box waiting for me... Wanna guess what was inside??

*DC Universe 6" Young Justice Robin & Artemis
Inside the box were these awesome toys I ordered from Mike's Comic's a couple weeks ago! Hooray!!  Mike is having A Super-Duper ToyBox Special over at the Mike's Comics & Stuff website! Enter "superduper" at the check-out and get 10% off your order! Mike gives great service and has some killer stuff! So stoked about these two! I've been working hard, and this was a Super-Duper way to end a fun day!

ToyBiz 10" Ghost Rider, Deluxe Edition (1995)

Just in time for Halloween I recieved my 10" Ghost Rider by ToyBiz (1995)! Hooray!! He is considerably bulkier and more heavy-duty than the other 10" ToyBiz figures I have already, Moon Knight from the Marvel Universe Series (1997) and Silver Surfer from the Fantastic Four Series (1994). The chain strapped across his chest is removable, and appears to be his "accessory" advertised on the box- the five figures from the Ghost Rider Series pictured on the back don't really show any weapons or anything ??? Ghost Rider has a glow-in-the-dark head and spiked belt I HAVE tested! Spooky! The two "flaming" collar pieces are separate and swivel around his head independently- an interesting feature. I must say I don't know a thing about this Marvel character, and bout him only for his badass looks and attractive price, $7.99 (price included shipping). What a FUN toy!

Johnny Blaze made a deal with arch demon Mephisto in order to save his mentor's life, but his soul was accidentally fused with the entity Zarathos, allowing Blaze to turn his flesh into hellfire and shoot fireballs from his hands... can you believe that?? He also rides on a supernatural motorcycle that wields the "Spirit of Vengeance", if the flaming skull head wasn't frightening enough! Damn! Nicholas Cage portrayed the character in the 2007 film Ghost Rider, which I vaguely remember hearing about... I still haven't seen the Iron Man movies with Robert Downey Jr. either, believe it or not.
