Mega Bloks Hot Wheels Speed Race Pit Stop & Rodger Dodger

Related to my recent Lego fascination, read my recent post on the Mega Bloks Hot Wheels Speed Race Pit Stop & Rodger Dodger over at the Super Fun Hot Wheels Blog. After a few builds, I've come to the conclusion that I prefer the quality of Lego over Mega Bloks. For the most part, Lego vehicles are more genuinely creative builds, relying less on specialized parts. Still, I love these HW original designs in brick form, and am a fan of Mega Bloks minifigs, particularly these simple, helmeted racers. I have some more articulated Mega Bloks minifigs, but these are my favorite. Check out the video:

Call of Duty Ghosts Exclusive Mega Bloks Figure

After picking up a few of the TMNT Mega Bloks mini-figs, I found this Call of Duty Ghosts exclusive online for a song. He reminded me of the Punisher with his military gear and skull mask! I know nothing of the Call of Duty franchise, but enjoy little plastic army men like most all boys do. His military rifle disassembles, and he has a bowie knife that pegs onto his thigh belt.

Below, Mega Bloks Ghost with TMNT Out of the Shadows Foot Soldier and Raphael. Mega Bloks are hands down some of the best little minifigures out there. I love these together!

Below for size comparison, Call of Duty Ghost with Transformers Prime Dark Energon Bumblebee. I love to mix and match toys- as a boy, I would have paired these two for the team-up, exploring new worlds of my imagination together!

The truth is, I really picked up the Ghost minifigure to ride in my new Hot Wheels Ride-Ons Series Tanknator. I had a Halo Mega Bloks figure for my green Tanknator, but needed another soldier type for the new 2017 C-Case version...

Mega Bloks TMNT Out of the Shadows

This blog has remained bereft of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles until now, not for my lack of appreciation for the franchise, but rather for the fact that I was past toys and cartoons by the time the characters from Eastman and Laird's underground comic drew mainstream attention. And while I already have a handful of Mega Bloks minifigures, it's the first time I've posted about them on this blog.

The articulation and details on these tiny figures are impressive for their size! I'm a fan of minifigs generally speaking (Imaginext, Lego, MiniMates, Be@rbrick), but the Mega Bloks minifigs have their own charm. Hot Wheels, also owned by Mattel, released some Mega Blocks car builds with minifigures that I love and has since released several "ride-on" series castings made to accommodate the Mega Block figures as well. Below, Raphael and a Halo Mega Bloks figure with the Hot Wheels Tanknator, and the TMNT Foot Soldiers take a ride on the Fig Rig with a Hot Wheels Mega Bloks Driver:

I really enjoyed these, my favorite perhaps Casey Jones with his hockey gear, and may go back for Mikey Leo and Donnie! Collecting TMNT in miniature form may be the best way for me!
