FEB TOXIC FIGURES KINGDOM UPDATE!

2012-02-12T10:59:00.000-08:00

This month and last have been pretty good for colleting, i have been around quite a few places and picked some really kool stuff up allong the way,
A few weeks ago i called into Sheffield Toys R Us because i heard they had finally got Thundercats toys in, other countries have been getting the new Thunderfcats in for months now, but in the UK we have only jsut got them, so i wanted to go and check them out,

They are Major expensive in the Toys R Us, even as a kid i remember them beight the most expensive toy shop,
anyway they had this stuff on the shelf...

Not a huge amount, but enough to see the quality of the new toys, if i am honest, i think the quality of the figures are abit lame, NOTHING compared to the amazing 2002 remake of He-Man, and the figures Matel produced, i really wanted the new Thundercats to be like these, but unfortunatly, they opted for that cartoon network stylized look that all cartoons and action figtures seem to be these days, that i remember first seeing come around when the 90s batman cartoon series blew up.
none the less the figures are pretty kool, and i did grab me a small Mumm Ra figure while i was there,
I also grabbed the figure of 'Twitch' from Toy Story 3, i have been looking to get this guy and chunk, simply because of how heavily they are based on He-Man and Rocklords, so i managed to pick this guy up pretty cheap while i was there.

I also found these that were pretty kool, as i kid i loved the Micromachines Z.Bots, I would have loved these guys back then!

They also had a TONE of Masterpiece Grimlocks, the figture obviously looks amazing, but i wont be buying one for £50 anytime soon...

I saw these Keepon speaker characters about 4 years ago and thought they were fasinating! its kina like a yellow blob character that danced to your MP3 player, good to know they finally stock em in the UK! gonan have to gra one at somepoint :P

Some other kool stuff, these sonic headphones were pretty sick

And i dunno who designed these prehistoric pets, but i think they look wickid!!

These new remade starwars figures are also sick, i picked up an admiral ackbar the other day, this Y wing fighter was massive and looked sick with the retro style box!

A week later i went too Bradford and Leeds on a music meeting day, but i did manage to grab these amazing rubber zombie finger puppets from a Kitch shop we found whilst walking around Leeds City!

This one looks allot like Eddie from the Iron Maiden album covers,

Now keeping on a Thundercats theme i grabbed this from a guy on facebook calle Aaron who runs the 'Action Figures Trading Community' i just got in touch with him because i needed a new set of tires for my thundertank, and he offered me this Full size stainless steel sword of omens!!

full details and video below....

Also....loving this Cyclops robot neclace my Friend Lizzy had on the other day, reminds me of Blinky from Buckey O'Hare lol

Last week DONT FLOP, The UK rap battle league i am a part of, came round to my house to film the second episode of a new Online show they are running called 'DONT FLOP DIGS' its kinda like Cribs but for UK MC's,
So made sure my toy room looked good for it! its abit messier now than it was when they came becuase i have been in and ut of boxes in there, but it still looks pretty sick! and a good updated picture since i last threw one up about a year or so ago....

I grabbed these from Asda couple days ago too...dont really bother picking any of the new transformers up, but these were GEN 1 so had to grab a couple! Starscream and Bumblebee BOTSHOTS...think they captured their characters well with these!

FINALLY...I was supposed to stick this picture up AAAAAAAAAAAAGES ago, but i forgot...my producer and Best mate cal's Brother JAC had this in his room when we went to see him in manchester....wanted it SO bad, but family airlooms and all that prevented me from taking it back to the toxic figures toy room, but how kool is he!!! VINTAGE BIG MOUTHED BIG FOOT!! SO FUCKIN SICKK!!!

STAR WARS HAUL REVEALED...

2012-01-08T07:31:00.000-08:00

Chatting to ma boy @electric_raver about his starwars collection, made me wanna take a picture of that big box i recently got and briefly showed on here a few months back...
well here they are all laid out! loads i need, but sick collection to be starting with..

2012-01-05T12:56:00.001-08:00

Its from the DK series who make wikid encycolpida cbooks on comics, i have the Spiderman, X-men and Hulks ones, this one has EVERYONE in it though! its full of loads of cool info about the world of Marvel..

She also got me these....i spotted em other day and hinted to her i wanted them :P big ups to her for picking them up, iots 100 diffrent star wars comic covers in postcard form, i have comic books framed all over my house and really wanted the old school comic covers out of this!

Then my Dad got me this MINT IN THE BOX Handlebar from Bravestarr, was fuckin CHUFFED with this one!!!

He also got me this Buckey O'Hare 'double bubble' vehicle! i have wanted this for ages, it makes a frog croaking noise when you turn it on diffrent angles

HAPPY 2012!!

2012-01-01T13:14:00.000-08:00

I say this all the time, but i really do enjoy updating this blog and always plan to keep doing it regularly, but music and work has kinda took over my life at the Minuit,
But the stuff i put on this blog often means more to me than both of those!! art, toys, day trips and other cool stuff!
anyway here is the first update of what i hope will be many for 2012...if i have one new years resolution its to not neglect my love for all things retro, buy more stuff, show it on here and possibly even start doing video reviews as-well as just photographs and writing...

First off i wanna show these, i got them from 'Pound Land' i have spoken about the stuff i get from pound land on here before, they usually just sell rubbish, but i always pop in as now and then i find something like this...

They are basically Robot Dinosaurs VS Monsters...but by the look of stuff they only made 3 characters, 2 robot dinosaurs and one mutated monkey...

The dinosaurs are pretty cool, the T.Rex has a chain saw, and a flame thrower looking gun for his arms and the Triceratops has a laser gun for his Horn...
The monkey is my favourite though, he has a spine you can pull out, and is a full on mutated zombie, straight out of resident evil, complete with spikes and exposed brain and intestines...

Next up i found some more funky looking dinosaur mutant toys...

these are classic, and seems to be an endless amount of them, I see them from time to time on Ebay and other toy blogs, and I love em, this one is my favourite...a kind of mutant cockroach armadillo..

this one also makes me laugh...a regular feature on here is dinosaurs and monkeys with mad screaming mouths...
This one wont even stand up!! I had to prop it up to take the photo, and it looks like he needs to take a piss...

I also grabbed these, I don't really know how new they are, but they are awesome, made by the guys who make Transformers Robot Heroes (one of my fave modern day toy lines) a collection of the original power rangers in small cartoon form, I haven't got them all yet but I want to get the zords too they look sick!

here are a couple other things I picked up around Christmas,
to with the stuff I had bought my sister for Christmas, i got her a tone of American sweets...to US readers these might not be much special, but you never get this kinda thing in the UK you see em in movies, but to get a hold of them is allot harder, was cool to try them out!

i also grabbed the MnM machine that was kool...

I know Halloween was MONTHS ago, but this was my STORM SHADOW outfit, I was popper proud of it, I bought a ninja suit and shoes, and made the sword holster, with 2 fake swords that looked real when I had finished the handles and stuff, the back sheath held them very sturdy and lasted the whole night and is still in perfect shape now, COMIC CON needs to be hit next! ha

And finally, I got my mum to find me this out, for some reason (i don't know why) my Grandad (RIP) saved a couple cans of pop for YEAAARS! I don't exactly know when this can of Sprite was made, but it says 'best before September 91' on the base, how long do cans of pop usually last for on their sell by date? Anyway she found me one of them out, I think there is a Cola and a fanta one too, but she hasn't got me them yet,
Anyway a few months ago me and my sister were watching videos of Crystal Pepsi on the Internet and it got me thinking about them, I am glad my mom found this out, I am a massive fan of anything retro and this old can (never opened!!) I think is really cool!

Well that is the first update of 2012,keep checking back for more updates! BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

TOXIC UPDATE 21 SEPTEMBER 2011...

2011-09-21T15:03:00.000-07:00

As always i am so busy filming, masking music and running events i have neglected my blog that i love updating so much!
Sometimes feel like i am rushing what i need to say on here, but it is what it is!
Just wanted to throw up a few pics of the kool stuff i have collected recently...
So first of all, from that big toy haul i showed pictures of last time, there was these starwars....

about 45 figures all mint with weapons!!! no boba fett tho :( i have broken one my mate fairley gave me but not the saaaame!
There was also this amazing kenner predator in there, now i have afew predator figures, they always seem harder to pick up than the kenner aliens, i do however have the larva see through red predator about 4 times complete! so was great to get this one Mint on the card!

New kicks...

Also i was filming a music video in Chesterfield last thursday and knew i had to drop by the market to check out what they had...
Got this comic which is awesome!

And this!...

Thought it was a madball, but no...its a promo item from the dog trust to take care of your pets eyes...i think, anyway its a wicked stress ball and being a lover of toxic eyes i had to grab it...
Mel left her batman canvass here, she mad if she thinks she gettin it back....

And thats that for the minuit, as always TONES more stuff to upload! keep check back :P

Thanks!
Theo.

there was tones of cool belt buckles in skeggy too...i ended up getting the mario one on a red belt, killllin it!!

Had to take a video of this crazy I Bug too....

We also played Crazy Golf, which was bang outside this horrific place 'pandas palace' this is were my mom used to dump me for the day when she could't be bothered to take me round skeggy town, alway have a deep deeeeeeeep hatred for this hell hole :P

spent the rest of the day Go carting and eating ice cream...This was kinda in the last few days of may,

2011-05-19T15:47:00.003-07:00

Not picked much up lately, mainly due to hittingmusic hard and working allot, however did manage to grab these off ebay, they was like £4! well good deal for what they are, i am a big fan of collecting comic series when there is only few to complete the collection, so snatched these up!

love the artwork and the colours on these, not had a chance to read em yet, but deffo looking to get on them this week then possibly frame them on the wall, quite a few of the rooms in my house look like this...

Think its a great way to display some of those favorite comics rather than keeping them in a binder, colours look great too!

Also, Monday night consitsed mostly of this....

Me, Charlotte, Lizzie and Calpol hit up some dizzy dizzy dinosaur! cha's idea, and a good one! featured the game on this blog last year, good to have a game of it, even if cha does cheat :(

Right...first of all i need to apologise for how neglective i have been of the toxic blog in the past few months, this is my first post all year!
shits been extreemley hectic and i have literllaly had no time to do anything, my new job is great but hammers me with the hours and music is kinda taking over my life at the minuit, which is why i havent
blogged since like October?!?! i have however been doing allot of music videos and tracks that you can see on youtube @...

http://www.youtube.com/user/PrisonPlanetRecords?feature=mhum

ALSO....had a sickkkkk 23rd B.day!!!!!!!!!!

ANYWAY...Enough of that....
Regardless of how busy i have been with music, this has NOT hindered my love for action figures and all things toxic!
i cant go through everything i have picked up, in 7 months i have accumulation a tone of stuff, i can however show you some of my personal highlights...
Got these guys from ASDA believe it or not! (Wall mart to you US folk..) reminded me allot of godzilla, they had 2 more different colors too but i couldn't buy them all lol, they are actually bubble blowers! screw their hats off and there filled with bubble mix and a blowing stick thing, i think they are wicked though, anything godzilla style and i am an instant fan!

Then i got these guys...
seen them featured on other blogs before but managed to get myself a set of these crazy face puller things! (infact the one that is not featured here was one of the first post's i ever did on this blog!!)

Got this madball type thing from the same shop too! they had a blue one and a green one...(what is it with all these toys i keep picking up in 5 diffrent variations?! lolll)

Then...i got these bad boys....only from the pound shop! (doller store in U.S) but could not resist them! some of them have really creative ways of transforming too, they are all really small, like something you would get in a christmas cracker maybe?? Either way, they are great, the stealth bomber, missle launching armoured car
and tank are my personal Favorites....

Also a couple other random kool bits!!...

Toxie, from the Toxic crusaders, T.C have to be one of my all time best loved nostalgic action figures, i loved the T.V show, i loved the merchandise 'what little there is' just everything about it appeals to me, and in case you didn't notice its actually the inspiration for the name of this very blog :P
Now, over the many months i have been running this blog i have featured toxic avengers quite allot, and i am actually planing on doing a whole review of them (very much like the super naturals and buckey o'hare ones i did) but still need a few accessories to complete the figures in my collection, so wont be doing it just yet...however, i couldn't resist grabbing this guy!...

TITAN TOXIE!! as i call him was an Ebay find i treat my self too, (there's actually a couple more left on there so go grab one if you like him!) and, i wont lie, it was dearer than i would have liked to pay (the £12 customs charge i had to pay didn't help either!) but i had to have this figure,
Its box is very slack on Text or information, in fact there is literally none at all, no date, no license, bar code, nothing, which makes me think this Item MAY be bootleg, but the quality of the figure and the box make that hard for me to believe,

However, this is easily one of the best figures i own, i love it and will defo take pride of place in my new toy cabinets!!

Lots more stuff coming soon, keep checking back!

Toy Room update...

2010-06-27T11:29:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the lack of updates, been major busy! however...got two more cabinets today, looking awsome! cant wait till the whole collection is put in them, i have worked it out i can fit around 18 cabinets in there, so gonna keep buying em when i get time to go to IKEA and hopefully by the end of the year have a whole room full!
Really love how they bring out the colours of the collection, aswell as displaying all the figures to there full pottential!

Anyway, keep checkin back for new stuff, gotta dash! today is the hottest day of the year and i havent stopped all day from cutting grass to driving to leeds to fixing up cabinets (which were a paint to begin with but think i got the hang of em now!) lol so literally just finished, but wanted to get the pic up straight away!

Peace yo!!

Beetle Juice and Planet of the Apes

2010-06-22T15:28:00.001-07:00

Grabbed these last week from the 1989 Kenner Beetlejuice action figure line.
The Beetlejuice Creepy cruiser and Phantom Flyer Vehicles
Both these In great condition and was really happy when they was found at a carboot for me and given to me for just the £4 that was payed for them!...
Firstly, the creepy cruiser is a vehicle i had as a kid and rememer hours of fun playing with it, it has a crazy mechanism on the back were you can pick up enemies, spin them around like mad then send them flying with the catapult action it features, i especially love the Bull head on the front (and although not shown) the scultping of the spiders and shassey on the underside of the car!

Then we got the Phantom Flyer, never had this as a kid but wish i did (as well as the vanishing vault which i want baaaad!) this can transform from a Bike to a glider, dropping the wheel of the front and turning into a grabbing mechanism,
Now the only problem i have with this vehicle is that the figures struggle to sit on it! the beetlejuice figures were all sculpted in very stiff sturdy auquard poses which makes them hard to stand up let alone fit in a vehicle (thank heavens for figure stands!)

Thought i would post a picture of a couple of my other Beetlejuice figures, also, i really love the small creatures of beetleuice you get with the action figures and the fact you can pull the heads of most of the main figures and switch them around (apologise again for these not being shown, didnt have much time when photographing these) you really do have to apriciate the likeness of these sculpts to actor Michael Keaton's face, i think there spot on to say they were just an action figure for kids.

Also...Got these given me last week...
They are clearly planet of the apes minitures, but i am not shure if they have been painted by someone who had them as part of a model/craft kit or they were just issued with poor paint jobs, either way they are great! shame the Gorillas dont have there horses (looks by the pins in there legs they were ment to be sat on steeds!)

And then these 2...

Looks like Dr. Zeus and Zira (both painted wrong but would deffo appear to be them judging by the clothing worn)
I dont know were these guys came from origionally, they have no markings on there backs, and may even be bootleg, either way i LOVE planet of the apes, its an amazing series of movies and all the merchandise assosiated with it is pure classic
If any of the toxic figures blog readers do have any info on these unknown figures please let me know! would be greatly apriciated

Anyway thanks for stopping by in the forbidden zone! and peace for now!

Buckey O'Hare...

2010-06-20T08:01:00.000-07:00

After seeing the buckey o'hare figures i gave Fairley next to his computer (my previous post)I decided to photograph my propper collection for the blog, i am sure you all know about these figures, so wont rant too much, but just wanted to let you know, these are one of my personal favorite childhood action figure lines ever produced(i knew this all the more when i almost lost Dead Eye and buckey during my reception classrooms redecoration when i was 5 years old!)
Buckey o hare has always been something i hold very close to my heart, i think it had great characters, design and its ashame it never got a revamp as i think it would merchandise even better today than it did in the early 90's
Anyway... I wanted to throw up some kool pics i took of them here for you all to see.
So hope you like em!

So first off we got my fave character, Dead Eye duck! i dunno what it is but i always love wise cracking ducks in cartoons and comics n stuff, weather its donald, daffy, howard...there is always something about loud mouthed ducks that i think is propper funny lol

Then we got Buckey O'Hare, the leader of the United Animals Federation.

Bruiser...the Muscle of the team...

Now not for the fact that these are two of my earliest childhood toys, but i always saw a good likeness between bruiser and F.L.U.F.F.I from Bionic 6 so thought i would throw in a pic of my ionic 6 F.L.U.F.F.I's to see what you thought, one of these i grabbed out 4 months ago from a carboot, the other i have had since before i can remember...

then we have Commander Dogstar! twin blaster wielding faithfull ally of buckey and probably my second fave character of the series...

Then we got Willy DuWitt...crazy name for a guy i am sure you will agree...Willy is a sanfransisco born Kid who gets sucked through a portal into the animals paralel universe and ends up taking on the role of Bruce after he dies as the teams Engineer,
The only part i am missing to my whole collection is Willy's glasses! wich is annoying as they are so small fragile and transparent the chances of me ever getting them are slim

And The Last of the good guys (or at least the ones that made it to action figure..there were quite a few unproduced characters who would have been amazing as figures, some of them made it to prototype form but no further)
Blinky! the trusted Android of the United Animals Federation. and the fact he has the one big eye makes him just that bit cooler!

Then we got the Bad guys...

Firstly we got Toad Air Marshall, the highest deciding enemy force after COMPLEX also issued with a green weapon (these figures have majour colour variations on the weapons so if you are a collector bare that in mind!)

Toad Borg...Android Henchman elite troop of COMPLEX, a cyborg toad who deffo fills the slot for the Muscle of the evil toad empire

Al Negator...Evil spy of the toad empire and probably my fave badguy of the series...

And finally one of the storm toad troopers...now, when you are a kid and you want to play with your action figures you kinda need more than just one of these kinda toys, same with starwars storm troopers, of turtles foot soldiers, you do need more than just the one to really act out the action scenes propperly, but none the less, this guy is wikid, apart from his inability to stay stood up for more than two minuits, the way the feet are sculpted makes it hard for him to stay standing
but yeh, a wikid figure deffo!

aaaaaaaaaaaaand, finally! check out this awsome Buckey O'Hare lunchbox, the flask is missing a lid, but still looks wikid on the toy shelf, and has even been known to get used from time to time lol

So there you have it, hope you enoyed my breakdown of the buckey o hare action figures, never really know what to write as the pics say so much them selves, but thought i would end this post with the intro to what is and will always be one of my fave cartoons and action figure lines produced!

Allot more kool stuff to come bloggers, keep checking back!

NEW HAT...

2010-06-18T15:23:00.000-07:00

Reppin UK all the way!!

BTW...when my darwin mates came to sheff, i gave one of them (fairley) some buckey o'hare figures in exchange for a vintage boba fett and Taun taun...thought they looked sick next to his PC in his studio so took a picture...?

Arufffff!!!

Random Pics of stuff i own...

2010-06-14T12:33:00.000-07:00

Just thought i would update sum new stuff while i have the time as will probs be busy next weekend training for a rap battle tournament next week with my tag team partner.
So here is a few bits to keep you entertained incase i cannot get on next week!
First off, check this Godzilla figure, got it last year from a carboot sale, stil one of my fave godzilla toys!

Got this R2D2 bath bubble a couple weeks ago from Tansley, fell in love with it straight away, i love how its just plain silver and blue plastic, gives it a real cheap feel wich you gotta love when it comes to vintage memorabillia like this lol

check this guy, his name is 'FLATCHOO' and is actually a figure from the mall soldiers movie, although he didnt appear in the film there is still a figure of him, and thought he looked wikid specially with his axe and missile (he actually fires a chunk of his own lava body out the top of his back!) hardcore shit...

This toy i have had since before i can even remember, a troll from Dungeons and Dragons...

Got these 2 bad boys the same day i got the R2D2...they are knock off planet of the apes figures, using Remco MOTU style wrestler bodies with ape heads, check the monkey ones cape, gangster!

Then i also go this last week, my Sectaurs collection is getting better as the weeks go by, wanna try and get all of em!

Finally, wanted to show you this....grabbed in the same day as i got the Planet of the apes and R2D2...

A wikid glass shelfing unit, its only from Ikea but looks amazing for displaying figures, specially when its got lighting in, what i plan to do is buy a couple of these every fortnight or so so i can eventually have the whole room in glass cabinets, cant wait!

Check this wikid car i got on the same day too, its kind alike a mad 70's space car with the kool sparking action under the wind screen when you wind it up ...

Anyway, sorry bout the spelling today, didnt have time to spell check it, just wanted to keep the blog rolling this week, hope you like the stuff i have collected! more coming very soon...
PEACE YO!

SUPERNATURALS...

2010-06-13T08:10:00.000-07:00

Completed the main part of my Tonka's supernaturals collection last week so wanted to display them on here!
i have always been a majour fan of these guys just chose not to display them untill i had each figure complete,
they kinda combigned 2 of my fave figure series Masters of the universe and visionaries, so were always gonna be a winner with me as a kid, and to own the full set again is wikid,
allot of the pictures dont show the holograms inside them, but you get the idea as holograms can be real hard to photograph,
Anyway check them out in all there holographic glory!!

Burnheart.

Eagle Eye.

Lionheart.

Skull.
couldnt they have thought of a less Generic name for this guy?!) Gotta love his eye ball weapon arsenal though! if you dont know by know, i am a big fan of eyeballs.

Snake Bite.

Thunderbolt.

Got these guys too, not complete, but good to show, only problem with them is they have strange rubber skin on there hands wich deteriates in time kinda like the roll back skin on the old steve austin 6 milliion dollar man figures arms...

And finally...
Grabbed this which now resides on my wall, an origional promo one shot comic released around the same time of these guys release...

more kool stuff coming soon, keep checking back!
Arufffffffffffffff

MAD LAB & TOMB OF DOOM...

2010-06-03T16:58:00.000-07:00

Got these given me as a present 2 days ago,
check this one first...'MAD LAB'...

Basically, its the head of Frankensteins monster, and its a game were you have to remove segments of his head, so you take out his eyes, nose, tongue, teeth ect, its actually pretty sick.

My fave bit is the back of his head you can remove some kind of gland which is just messed up, all in all a great gross out toy! and gross out toys are my ultimate fave!

And then this one...'TOMB OF DOMB'...

Some kind of mad Egyptian tomb game were you have to guess the right key to escape with the treasure from the chest,
if you use the wrong key, the head shakes and rattles and laughs, its mad, i love it!
A great gift, thanks!! :P

MUSHIKING BUG FIGHTERS!!!!!!!

2010-05-30T12:01:00.000-07:00

Got these today...

a women had a tone of them at the car boot for 50p a set, so just bought one of each cause wanted to show em on here,
I am a huge fan of Japanese culture, and for those who don't know, japan has a major fascination with Bug Fighting, Basically stag beetles ect in 1 on 1 sumo contests, And it would appear this is something advertised at kids to play with until they are old enough to buy a real life bug!
I thought they were a very strange items anyway so took some pics to stick on here, don't think am gonna open em cause then they would just be regular bug toys, but it looks like inside you get cards, instructions and a score chart, so definitely a good amount of stuff in the both with them.
Keep locked in, got sum wicked stuff coming very very soon!
peace yo!

Turtles Cards...

2010-05-27T13:27:00.001-07:00

R.I.P Geek Orthodox....

2010-05-26T16:37:00.000-07:00

Some of you may have heard of Geek Orthodox...(http://geek-orthodox.blogspot.com)
...Basiclly, its a blog run by Reis O'brien probably one of the coolest luchadore wrestling mask wearing toy collectors on the planet, who runs the blog updating it every day!
However, it would ultimately seem that his work-load and personal life have left him no other choice but to stop writing his blog, and hang up his mask forever!
Reis is a very cool and funny guy, he even posts a weekly video blog which i always tune in for, and although very sudden...i can fully understand his reasons for no longer continuing with the blog.
So I just wanted to say a really big farewell to geek orthodox, as i spent the last year checking it everyday and have always been entertained by his barrage of amazing posts!
So yeah...guess thats it, just wanted to really give reis and geek orthodox a propper send off as he has brightened up my day many many times and has even known to pass by the toxic figures kingdom and drop a comment in the past!

R.I.P Geek orthodox, your legacy will never be forgotten!
(July 26, 2008 - May 26, 2010)

BTW Grabbed this guy today to add to my ever growing MOTU collection!...'Clawfull'

BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL....PART 2....

2010-05-25T13:14:00.001-07:00

YOOOOO!
Big news in the word of toxic figures kingdom!
It seems my last post may very well be one of the best things i have ever done!
Basically....Last weekend, i took a trip to Darwen in Lancashire to visit some mates of mine...
Whilst there i met up with Dean, a fellow vintage toy enthusiast who kindly gave me the 'beast man' masters of the universe figure that i needed to add to my He-Man collection, i was over the moon with this gift! vintage action figures are the best gift anyone could ever get me, especially ones i had as a kid and lost as i grew older (not necessarily grew up! haha)
Anyway..Dean told me how he had more of these figures and if i was to go round to his house the following day i could grab a few more...

....It was there i found out he had WAY more than i expected and him to have, all in a big bucket and him saying 'right...take the ones you need mate'....

Now, i wasn't gonna lie, there was allot i didn't have in there...his collection of ThunderCats and He-man made mine look pretty weak to be honest! I do have a nice amount, but apart from about a few, i needed all of them! lol
so...After an offer of money was refused, Dean decided although he loved them allot, that he wished to accept no money for them, and that they would be kept forever safe in the toy room along with all the other figures i have collected over the years.
So he kindly Donated them on the basis if i was to ever get bored of them he would take them all back, and i am never to sell any of them.
Well priding my self on the fact i am a 'collector' not a toy dealer, ( a toy dealer as in a guy who sells toys for stupid amounts of money on Ebay -Toy Fairs ect )
This was an offer i knew i could keep too, as i am the guy who buys and collects toys, NEVER sells them!
So, i would like to present to you some (not all, there was a couple small transformers and Ninja turtles characters i got out of there too, will put them up when i have got the weapons for them!) Of the He-man and Thundercats figures Dean donated, as well as some of my old collection to show complete sets!
So just want to say a MASSIVE thanks to Dean, the guy is a legend and i will now be in debt to him for a lonnnnng time! lol
Big ups dean, hope you like the pics bruva! Thanks again!!

Already had Slyth, Vultureman and grune the destroyer, was just missing a couple of there weapons....

I had already got most of the main thundercats, but Dean Donated the Chitara and WilyKit!

Love these mini thundercats! Liono bareing the sword of omens looing sickkkkkk!

And on to the MOTU....
You can see all the diffrent characters Dean donated, check out beastman's whip, Ram Man's Axe, Man-e-faces's Gun...all weapons i already had bu tno figure to go with them! gotta love a complete figure!! (he also gave sorted me out with the Ladder to go with my Castle Greyskull! the only part i needed to complete the play-set!!

Also...while looking for He-Man weapons i found Sy-Klone's shiled weapon! so was real happy to finally complete that figure too!

This is all amazing stuff, and i cant tell you all just how kool it is that people actually donate there toys to the toxic figures kingdom, it means so much to me and i am sure the readers are very apriciative to know there are such kool people out there!
Now...this was not the only stuff i got donated whilst in Darwen...my very good friend Fairley also gave me some amazing starwars stuff, wich i will be reviewing very very soon!
Aruffffffffffffffff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!!!!!!!!!

2010-05-20T13:43:00.000-07:00

Got this yesterday!

Not much to say apart from 'ARUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!' propper love it!! had this as a kid and brought back so many memories to actually get one again,
Decided to get some masters of the universe figures out and photograph it all for the blog (note the stridor horse...got him same day too!)

2010-05-17T16:29:00.000-07:00

I have got a few things to stick on here right now, 2 weeks worth of marketing and carbooting, so expect allot more over the next week or so, sorry i have been so slack with updates work is really hectic and dont get much time to myself at the minuit, but fear not, plenty to go up very very soon!
In the meantime, check out my pictures from the Royal Armories in Leeds taken last Saturday,
If you have never heard of the royal armories, its just about one of the koolest places in the whole world, its a HUGE weapons, armour and war museum in the UK.
i have been around 4 times now, and it never gets boring, unfortunatly when i went this time, there was a few exhibitions closed, but i still managed to grab some awsome pics! check em out...

SECTAURS....

2010-05-07T12:34:00.000-07:00

Took the day of work yesterday to hit Chesterfield market,
Overlaid like an idiot, but still managed to get there well before stuff was getting packed away…. would have probably got more stuff tho! (heard I missed out on sum mad tentacle creature predator mask thing witch sounded tooos cik!)
Anyway…to say I got there late, can’t believe how lucky I was…found this!

Sectaurs! Gotta be one of the coolest action figure lines to ever come out of the 80s and this sums up just how awesome they were!

Unfortunately, the wings are really delicate so didn’t fit all 4 of them in for the pictures as they are detachable and didn’t wanna risk snapping them, but this has gotta be my best find of recent times, absolutely love it!

As a kid I had the tarantula one, and was one of my best toys, I love how the sectaurs action figures can actually ride on top of the insect to use them as a vehicle….

and if you didn’t know how they work, its actually a clove fitted under the insect to act as the legs, so it’s a perfect mix of action figure vehicle and gross out glove puppet!

You may remember when I grabbed one of the sectaurs from an antiques emporium in Brighton, link here…

http://toxicfigureskingdom.blogspot.com/2009/12/back-from-brighton.html
I do have a few of these guys knocking around, about 5 of them and 3 of there small pet insect beast’s by no means enough to review a collection yet tho!
But thought this guy would make a good pic (don’t think these are his actuall weapons, but suit him well for the pic)

that’s all for today, but keeping with the theme of more unknown 80’s action figures, look out for a ‘super naturals’ review coming very soon….

Waiting to go to cinema....

2010-05-02T08:31:00.001-07:00

Just waiting for my mate so we can go and watch Iron Man 2 aruffff! So thought I would post a few pics up…these are finds, Old and new…from Car boot sales, Markets, Toy Fairs even Gifts! ( I am loving all the stuff people keep donating to me, please keep em comin I will always post em up here to say thanks!)

First thing is this….grabbed this of the market near were I work, as you know I love anything to do with vintage TMNT..

next up is this guy….a GI-Joe Monstro Viper…(thanks to Adam for full info on how this toy used to work) you put mouldable putty into his chest and make balls that he can launch with his left hand…now that is friggin kool!!

check out this vintage Optimus Prime bubble bath ( the bubble bath is even still inside lol) grabbed from a carboot sale last year…

then we got this 1983 original Apollo Creed action figure made by phoenix toys, shame he doesn’t have his gloves or shorts or title belt but still gotta love this figure and for the era it was made, the likeness is uncanny!

Also…check this guy! Everyone who checks the blog knows I love crazy screaming monkey figures, and this guy is no exception…
he is one of the best Pound Land figures (one doller store in US) I have ever been fortunate enough to pick up! its an obvious throw back to King Kong, I love the battle damage on him, and the chains he has around his arms…also his eyes light up red, winner!
allot of people who check out my toy room always point him out, expecting him to be a vintage figure..so wicked stuff!

The next lot of pics is just random stuff I decided to post up here that is found in my toy room....

Also, grabbed this guy of Ebay! Always loved this toy, had it when I was little…(back then I didn’t know it was of battle star galactia, only that he was weird looking lol)

ORDERED THIS OTHER DAY…ASOLUTLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE DESIGN THE INSTANT I SAW IT….CLEARLY A THROWBACK TO MADBALLS, I HAD TO HAVE IT! AND IT CAME TONIGHT…..

NECA CONAN FIGURES & BATTLESTAR MARKET FIND!!

2010-04-07T11:57:00.000-07:00

I used to be a big collector of Neca, Mcfarlane movie figures, got most of the first few series of the movie maniacs and that kind of thing, still got them all, but by no means the highlight of my collection anymore, however…when these came out I was instantly drawn to em!
if you don’t already know Conan is one of my favourite films, 1 and 2! And like to collect anything related to the movies.
for some reason I always looked at these when they came out and wanted them very much…but just never actually got round to buying them…
anyway, with a quick Ebay search I found these 2 (still one more I want!) but just wanted to show em on here, cause they look wicked!

had a choice of 2 Conan pit fighters…obviously wasn’t too bothered about having both of them, as hey are the exact same figure in different armour…but these studded speak gloves are by far the sickest the weapon of the two!

Also…managed to grab this from Chesterfield Market other day….thought it was a captain lazer at first…but then saw it was a bat ‘Battlestar Galactia’ figure…now, obviously they are both made by the same company, but apart from that I know nothing about Battlestar Galactia, not watched it for such a long time, but I do know the figures are wicked! Specially the Cylons!
Anyway, had to grab him for £5 and looks great in my collection…

And finally, my very good mate Mel gave me this as a present Monday nigh when she came round to my house, its a wicked resin Mystique bust from X-Men, I proper like it! So thanks Mel!!!

ROBOTS IN LONDON....

2010-04-04T12:13:00.000-07:00

Spent the last few days in London/Surrey for the ‘Don’t Flop Blood in the Water rap Battles’
The battles were held on Brick Lane in a wicked venue called ‘Vibe Bar’ just on Brick Lane…so I went for a solo walk early on in the day before the battles to see if I could find any cool toy shops….
Unfortunately they seem to prefer vintage clothes to toys along there as I couldn’t find ANYWERE that sold anything toy related just allot of vintage clothes shops…if you wear vintage clothes then I am sure its heaven cause there is literally hundreds of them there! But I was on a toy hunt…
anyway, just as I was turning round to go back to the Vibe bar I noticed a small side street with a couple of shops, so thought I mite as well have a quick look while I am here when I found this place….

The shop had no Sign just a picture on a Japanese Tengu mask…but apparently everyone calls it ‘the robot shop’…and its quite obvious why….

this is one of the best shops I have ever been in! It is absolutely crammed with hundreds of reproduction old school tin wind up robots! And the prices that they cost are phenomenally cheap! This kind of thing usually sells at stupidly high prices, but not here, at the robot shop the prices were amazingly cheap!
Check this wicked reindeer for example…£7.50!!?!

If you are ever on brick lane, go and call in, the owner was a very cool chilled out guy called John, who I could tell shared my passion for old toys more than most, Had a good talk with him about his shop and all the different robots he had in there and promised him I would give him a shout out here on the Toxic figures kingdom blog…
So if you are around brick lane and feel like calling in, you really should!
the address is….

20 Cheshire St
London E2 6EH
0797 4155031

and I found a wicked article all about him and the shop @…..

http://blog.transatlanticism.org/2009/12/11/thus-the-charm-of-john-kelly-his-vintage-robot-shop/

I wanted to buy soooo much from here but I really did have to stop myself lol, I did however grab these….

Out of everything in there (all were amazing) this guy caught my eye…
he is kinda like a war of the worlds, Martian robot squid,
at £9.00 I Had to grab him!! he walks too came with a key and everything…..

Also, grabbed this wikid jumping frog for £2.50 for my sister….

and this sickkk 1950’space age ray gun!….

check it in full working action! LOL

and finally, a free gift from the very cool John, a 1950’s tin cop car, he gave me this free of charge (what a guy!) he had a bowl of different ones, but I thought the cop car was the one! Its so small too! Had to put a Z/Knight next to it just to show you the size!

anyway as always more kool post's coming soon, keep checking back, big up johns robot shop and don’t flop rap battles… the place was hyping!!!

...AND THIS WEEK HE IS REVIEWING PONG CONSOLES...WELL, IT REMINDED ME THAT I HAD ONE IN MY TOY ROOM! I PICKED IT UP FOR ABOUT £3 AT A CARBOOT CALLED 'VIDEOMASTER, IN COLOUR, ITS IN IMACULATE CONDITION! AND IT INSPIRED ME TO FIRE IT UP AND HAVE A QUICK GAME ON IT...

WELL, UNFORTUNATLY REGARDLESS OF ITS AMAZING CONDITION, IT DOESNT WORK...I COULD GET THE PICTURE TO APPEAR ON THE SCREEN, BUT ITS SO JUMPY ITS NOT EVEN 1% PLAYABLE, APART FROM THE FACT IF YOU MOVE THE WHEEL AROUND ON THE CONTROL PAD YOU CAN HEAR THE BEEPING SOUND,

I THINK THE AERIAL WIRE IS THE THING THATS BROKERN, ITS SOMETHING I KNOW I COULD FIX...BUT I AM NOT SHURE IF I WANT TOO, AFTER ALL THAT WOULD MEAN MODIFYING THE WIRE THAT IS ALREADY THERE, AND FOR THE MINUIT I THINK I AM JUST GONNA LEAVE IT AS IT IS, AND RESPECT THE FACT THAT NOTHING LASTS FOREVER,

SAYING GOODBYE...

2009-12-13T07:18:00.001-08:00

So this is it...moving out Friday, my very last week in the house I have grown up in for 21 years! Going to be weird living on my own from now, never had a Christmas were I wake up in the morning and there’s just me there! Will be doing allot of socializing over my holidays of work though so should be ok!
But deffo looking forward to Christmas, went out last night so missed 'jingle all the way' on TV...my favorite Christmas movie! haha have to cop it on DVD this week sometime cause Christmas isn’t Christmas without jingle all the way and national lampoons! (Watched that other night though!
Anyway...on to some toxic figures! Not much to show... did get some nice GI-Joe's this week though!...

Also, got this vintage Raphael money box, and have got Donatello on the way from the same series (saw one in Brighton in the big second hand antique emporium but was a little overpriced for my budget that day, but managed to grab this one after for a great price so was all good!
i do love how tacky it is, its obviously not an official product, but i do love my vintage knock off stuff...

Also, bought this box set from HMV £12?!?! all 5 films with a bonus disk, I watched all these growing up, but haven’t watched them for so long, put the first one in the DVD player and have been Hooked!! I love the look of all the gorillas riding on the black horses with there leather amour and rifles, ALL the characters are so well written, especially Dr. Zaius, is ignorance is so frustrating, great character to hate! and its got to be said that Linda Harrison is so amazing as 'nova' the mute tribal cave girl,
I have watched 1 and 2 so far, and my daysssss do I enjoy these movies! Such a good concept, and such powerful scenes, loving every minuet of them, going to get the 3rd one on tonight: P

and as for car boots...its been a while, allot of the organizers don’t put car boots on through the winter months, but I went to one this morning, was a good 45 minuet walk to get to it (taking my driving test January 20th so this should not be a problem as of then) but managed to grab a few things I will be showing on here in the coming weeks...anyone for a nice Rambo figure knock off review? Coming soon! Watch this space....

END GAME VIDEO...

2009-12-09T12:47:00.000-08:00

Just before we start...gotta show this pic of me at the Don’t Flop rap battles right before my debut and first victory!

Early 2009 I recorded a track as a tribute to Joe D'Amato's EPIC post apocalyptic masterpiece ENDGAME, being one of my favorite films, and being a huge fan of the soundtrack, I had my mate remix the soundtrack into a grime beat and wrote a track to it explaining the story of the film thru lyrics
Well...its now late 09 and having waited so long for the track to be mastered I decided to master it my self, and cut a quick video on movie maker using the movies clips to help tell the story.
I have improved allot since this was recorded, and usually wouldnt want anything heard that I think I could now do better, but i will make an exeption for this one, I still like it :P
So here it is...Psychosis Holochaust 'ENDGAME'

you can download the track here @...

ADMIRAL ACKBAR...

2009-12-07T15:58:00.000-08:00

Found this nodding head Admiral Ackbar today in TK.MAXX was a wickid find Ackbar is one of my favorite star wars characters so he jumped out at me, and I had to snatch him up...

I think the sculpt captures allot of character and will look great on my mantel piece!

Got this as well today...

Rambo 3 the soundtrack on 12" Vinyl arufffffffffffffff

TOXIC DROP DEAD RAPTOR T.SHIRT...

2009-12-04T13:35:00.000-08:00

Found this today, only one in the shop and was on a manikin so got a nice bit of discount on it because it wasn’t on the hanger, but absolutely love it!
not much to say about it apart from as far as I know its a Sheffield based clothing brand called 'drop dead' I don’t know anything else about it apart from i loved the design, combining 2 of my five things, toxic colors and dinosaurs (and loving the Jurassic park style logo) feeling my purple apparel at the minuet!

Check out the Drop Dead Website for more cool clothes...

BACK FROM BRIGHTON...

2009-12-01T05:47:00.000-08:00

So i Spent the past 2 days down at Brighton Beach for the Don't Flop rap battles 'www.dontflop.com' and had an amazing time, won my battle (I now have a 2 wins 0 losses ratio so feeling good about that!)
Anyway...battle rapping aside I need to firstly say how amazing Brighton is for toxic shopping...when I went to Brighton in June I did not get a chance to check any of the shops there, but that was different this time, as I found the best row of shops ever!
I Managed to grab these amazing Osiris trainers (was hypnotized by them the second I laid eyes on them!

And also, this amazing transformers hoodie...

EVERY one of them had amazing toys clothes art galleries and antique shops, it seriously was the best place I have ever been too for picking up toys and clothes!
There were rows and rows of shops, full of cute vintage kitsch for the girls, and toxic robot alien destruction fighters for the boys!

I found a massive emporium FULL of 60s, 70s, and 80's toys, house wares furniture comics, Games, EVERYTHING you could ever want! Some of it was overpriced witch is why I had to turn down the vintage Ultra man and tomy dustbot I wanted, but I did manage to grab a nice 'Sectaurs' figure I needed! So wasn’t all bad news, ( in the pic he has none of his weapons...he did not have his weapons with him but I do have them stored away in my moving boxes so will get a better pick of him with his accessories at a later date :P

I also got these....I think they are the single BEST invention I have EVER seen in my whole life....seriously...

There f**king ninja star coat hooks?!?!?! They actually look like a ninja star has been thrown at the wall and you can hang your hats and coats on them, holy sh*t?!?! Why did I never know about these things before?! I bought 6 of them...they was slightly overpriced at £7.95 each but that’s how much they are on EBay and stuff so decided to just get a nice bungle of them for when I move into my new house (sent them the deposit yesterday so I am now a legal home owner! moving in next Saturday fingers crossed!!!)

Obviously I could not put them up in my hallway just yet...but could not resist screwing them into the side of the shed to show how brilliantly amazing and real they look!

So all in all Brighton was nothing but a great weekend (if you don’t count the 4 hours of no legroom we had to endure on the way down and coming back on the coach) and to top it all off, look what a very tired me found on the way home at London Victoria station….

It’s a London buss transformer, Epic! (Not a fan of the new transformers style, design, story, concept ANTYTHING) but you got to admit, this guy is holding it down!

and just very quickly on a side note…if you are a collector of transformers figures…then you seriously need to grab this book, its an unofficial Japanese collectors guide to Gen 1 figures, but its got almost every figure in there with all there weapons and accessories on full layout display, great for reference when wanting to complete a figure….

TOXIC CYBER BREAD BIN...

2009-11-28T06:56:00.000-08:00

Found this at a Christmas fair jumble sale today...
I just saw it there all closed up, and wanted it straight away before i even knew what it was!
Then the lady at the stall told me it was a bread bin!? I automatically decided it was the perfect bread bin for my new house!!

It cost me £2! And after a little internet research it’s actually called a 'Brushed Aluminum Armadillo Bread bin’ and is sold on Amazon for £68 so was the ultimate bargain!
The lady at the stall said it was the Sydney Opera house...but obviously the company that made it says it is an armadillo so we will go with them...

However, I thought it looked more like a DR WHO ‘Cybermat’ and is one of the reasons I had to get it!

And for no reason other than scale, check it next to Megazord, great size for the kitchen!

More toxic updates coming soon!

STORM SHADOW'S...

2009-11-26T17:55:00.000-08:00

I am aware this blog is becoming VERY GI-Joe orientated, ?(I am trying to keep it switched up...its just that GI-Joe's have become allot easier to get a hold of in Britain since the movie came out!)
But these two guys today, loved them, and a free coming! 'arrrruuuuuuffff!'
Send my deposit thru tomorrow for my new house, so once everything is unpacked (at the minuet its all in the boxes as you guys have seen!) and then I can start rummaging through containers and find some more stuff to post on the blog so sorry for the lack of actual vintage weird toys in here, but there will be more coming very soon!
Watch this space....

NEW SUPER TOY STORE OPENED 5 MINUITS FROM MY HOUSE!!

2009-11-24T05:35:00.000-08:00

FINALLY a toy shop has opened near my house (usually I have to travel into town, just to find the most minimal amount of toys, and 'toys r us' is a good 2 tram rides away) but no longer will I have to take such an adventure just to have a browse at what’s new in the world of toys and action figures, cause last week 'SMYTHS Toy Superstore’ opened!
so not much to say apart from I have waited years for a new toy store to open up were I live, and now there has been, so will be a regular visitor! Also, it doesn’t close until 11pm at night! (As the sign outside suggests) so it means I can go in late after work! Good news all round :P
(I apologise for the quality of pictures inside the shop…had to be a little covert with taking, pictures there was a lot of customers walking around lol)

I was happy to find al there GI-Joe section was on offer, so bagged a few other figures and vehicles I needed for my collection, I especially love beach head, and the timber wolf figure that comes with this variant of snake eyes!
Also picked up Beach-head and rollbar with the snarler Cycle, an Ice Viper soldier and a Mantis Attack Craft with an Aqua Viper Officer, and i love the red visor helmet he comes with!

Also, I got this complete Dr.Mindbender of eBay very cheap! Great condition too with all his accessories in tact!

Also...waited for this guy of eBay for over a month! The seller was very good though, and sent me a second one when the first one never showed up (he is still out there somewhere?!) It’s Decimator from VR Troopers, one of the much rarer figures that as far as I am aware is only available in America, so really glad to finally have him in my VR Troopers collection...

The figure itself is great, very sturdy, and stands up nicely, the way the function works, is there are 4 swords, 2 go in his hands and the others fire from his chest, but they are all fireable, it reminds me a lot of the Kenner Terminator figures that had similar functions

Also his helmet looks great… I love space armour mutant robot fighters!

Finally, still packing for the move (man...I have loads of toys cant wait to get them all displayed, and reviewed for you guys here!)
But thought I would take a couple of pics for the blog...

Boglins...I have a box of the smaller brighter varients too, but could not find them to hand when I took this...

Monster in my pockets...I am close to owning all the monster in my pockets, everything from space aliens, to wrestlers, but these original ones will always be my favorite!

and finally, thought these mad balls would make a nice pic for the sight...

BARBARIAN SPELL BOOK NOTE PAD...

2009-11-20T15:45:00.000-08:00

Not much to say about this apart from I bought it from a craft shop in town and love it! its to write lyrics for the album I am working on with Flex Digits (www.myspace.com/felxdigits)
Its 'Adventure rap' imagine if ‘golden axe’ if it was a hip hop album and there you have it, the Album will be out January and has a host of names from up and down the country and from the U.S too!
anyway...this post isn’t about music, it is about the book I bought to write the lyrics in, it looks like a really cool old spell book but its plain inside so you can write or draw in it, and its small enough to fit into the palm of my hand for penning on the go!
Anyway, I put wilykat with it to show you the size!

HOLY SHIT...

2009-11-17T12:32:00.000-08:00

Found this guy today, and holy shit he is wicked!
Behold....the Mega Mammoth!!
Found him in TK.MAXX amongst all the random jumble of Christmas toys they have there, they had a few other dinosaurs, but all were in boxes half the size of this one and for £7.99 I wasn’t leaving him there no way (I am a big fan of mammoths)
:P

he is huge, like 16" and looks amazing with the chap mai cave men, he took about a minuet to assemble from the spru he came on, and all locks in together real tight with no glue needed, which is always handy!

he does need a lick of paint, but I will sort that when I move into my new house and give u all an updat43ed picture, the one on the box looks brilliant, so will follow that color scheme I think, not too bad at model painting actually, so should look brilliant in pride of place painted when I move in the new toxic figure fortress!

BIG MOUTH DINOSAUR UPDATE...

2009-11-15T11:09:00.000-08:00

Found another one in my stuff while packing...were the fuck do these guys come from?! lol either way i love em...enjoy!

MOVE UPDATE...

2009-11-15T06:40:00.000-08:00

As you may know, I am moving house in the next couple of weeks (hopefully next fortnight)
And I am currently in the stages of packing my toy collection away, so just thought I would share some pictures of the stuff I am boxing up!

Something I was really happy about is finding these out...

Talking robot cop and terminator, and 2 talking tales from the crypt dolls!
these were actually mine as a child, and I haven’t seen them since I was like 11 years old, was a heart warming feeling to find them out again, and will give them pride position in my toy room when I get in the new place!

Also, check out the turbo man! Forgot I had him, turbo maaaaaan!

2009-11-13T12:27:00.000-08:00

STONE AGE PREHISTORIC DINOSAUR MEN...

2009-11-09T16:35:00.001-08:00

Anyone who knows me (or checks this blog) will know my affinity for dinosaurs and anything prehistoric, and cave men barbarians are no exception!
as for Chap Mei, I am a HUGE fan, I think out of ALL of the action figures out today, they are killing it as the top toys for ideas and detail,
From what I know (and this is simply from my experience of seeing these guys progress)
they started out in the cheapest of bargain bins, then progressing to pound land and Wilkinson’s, but today I find them in the early learning centre, especially the Jurassic park style play sets, and that’s what these guys are, play sets, you can either buy the individual figures, or a huge play set, usually containing, a vehicle, a dinosaur, part of a castle, and more guns and missiles than any one child could loose,
And not only this, but they seem to have tapped into nearly EVERY genre, everything from sea life emergency rescue, too mummies tomb scorpion raiders (I am making these names up, they will have proper names :P )
but I am fascinated with these figures, I have ALOT of them...I have got S.W.AT team recon troops, space aliens, Tarzan Jungle Warriors, all the way to Cyber Ninja Assassins (there I go again making up names :P )
I will be posting the other chap mei figures I have up on here soon, but for now i just wanted to concentrate on these guys I got from Sainsbury’s during the half price sail, they are called 'Stone Age Dinosaurs'...

And I love them! I love the bone helmets, i love the crude weapons forged from dinosaur jaws and terradon wings, and I just think everything about them is so unique and imaginative,
They also reminded me of 'dino riders ice age' figures, which I love but own none of :(

I have took lots of pictures of these guys so u can see the heads up close and stuff, not much to say about them, they speak for them selves!

Also got these two space chap mei figures on the same day, wasn’t as impressed with them (and are allot bigger than the standard chap mei size) but had to grab them for £1 each!
they have strange spiked light saber’s, and both light up when u press the button on there belts, the black and red one with silver chest (I am presuming he is the bad guy) even has a removable hat…..wow

Also, this is nothing short of an AMAZING find my dad got at a car boot this Sunday, along with a couple other manta force ships and bases, all complete with there missiles and soldiers, soooo rare to find these with all the pieces together, and I think I will add this evil ship to my toxic figure collection! (and i apologise for the dust on this thing not had a chance to give it a whipe was too exited to get it on the blog! must have been in somebodys attic for years!)

Dehidrated, Anorexic roadkill man update…

2009-11-07T08:56:00.000-08:00

i have Been real busy this week, so not really had a chance to put anything on the blog, I have picked a couple new figures up though so will be up on here shortly! but I did however get a comment on my 'road kill' post...

http://toxicfigureskingdom.blogspot.com/search/label/bizarre%20weirdo%20toys%20rubber%20figures%20vintage

from a really cool guy called Bubbashelby who runs an amazing toy review blog, old and new toys, check him out at http://toyriffic.blogspot.com/
Well he left a comment saying he had seen the Anorexic dehydrated road kill victim on another page, so obviously I checked the link to find this....

(this guy 'babo prisoner figures' has some AMAZING figures, was really jealous looking thru his stuff, especially all his rubber figures, got sum great stuff, deffo check him out! http://www.flickr.com/photos/astronit/2539054206/)

I was like OHHH SHIT! Couldn’t believe there was a whole series of these guys, and weirdest thing is I actually remember having the guy in blue shorts who is hung up by his wrists (thing he was from a cheap Skegness gift shop when I went on holiday at around 8 years old)
But was great to see a set of 6!!
Looks like some of them used to have window suckers on there backs, and it also looks like most of them are torture chamber/dungeon victims left to hang, and die in the case of the skeleton guy :O.....

Also, check the other stuff he has got on there, some great rubber figures that I am sure anyone who checks the blog will appreciate!

And I just wanted to give another HUGE thanks to Bubbashelby from toyriffic for the link to the figures and urge everyone to check his blog right away!

Picked this guy up from Sainsbury’s today, and just in time! Tomorrow all the cool Halloween stuff will be taken off the shelves, so was loving the clearance prices on everything
Anyway, couldn’t resist this dancing light up skeleton, i pressed his 'try me' button and instantly had to have him!

Also, a nice racket of half price GI-Joes too, a Neo Viper, Baroness Plus Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes Action Battlers...

TOXIC FOOD PART 2/ PLUSS RANDOM TOXIC WASTE..

Check this...Its an Aero mint hot chocolate with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles on it, My younger sisters idea....and a very good idea at that!
Its all about toxic hot chocolate...

Also, got some other stuff to show...
...A crazy Earth Worm Jim I drew at work yesterday....

...And some brand new GI-JOE's for the collection! Cobra Commander and Croc Master! Cobra!!!!!!!!!

Also, a trio of recent Finds...Kamen Rider SkyRider, I cant stress enough how much I love the Gashapon Ultimate Solid Toei figures, they are amazing in every way, I have about 30 of em, maybe I will put em all on the blog one day, but just grabbed this one cause one of the few I need to complete my Kamen Rider Gen Series, and I think the less said about the movie version of Cobra Commander the better....I will say I am not the biggest fan of his movie design or origin story, but I do like the figure!
And finally grabbed this Hasbro Dead Pool figure from Sainsbury’s, I love how the design and size is perfect to display along side GI-Joe figures, but just bare in mind he doesn’t come with a stand! (I had to give him one from else were) and he comes with some wicked swords and a Sai that he cannot hold, cause his hands are only made to hold the AK47 (with no stock) so not the best design practically, but looks great in the collection!

TOXIC FOOD PART 1...

2009-10-26T17:33:00.000-07:00

VERY OFF TOPIC! But I was just making my sandwiches before work tomorrow (all about saving the money for toxic figures) and I thought the size of the new 'Moon Bread' (name curtsy of flex digits @ www.myspace.com/flexdigits..AKA My partner in crime) was very funny (I thought so anyway, it is actually Frikkin HUGE!
I go shopping at the weekend to pick up ingredients for my sandwiches and have been searching for the ultimate bread cakes for some time...well this weekend I found it, and I thought it was deffo worthy of making it on the blog for toXic food, I put am old GI-JOE figure next to it to show the size difference, and it just looks like the sandwich is going to devour the Joe so I am gonna go get him out of there quick...
But before I go....yeah, there you have it, toxic food part 1....part 2 coming very soon! (Seriously, i do actually have a part 2 coming soon! lolll)
