Action figure reviews, quick pics, Wayback Wednesdays, and shots of our collections
Greetings Programs.
Wayback Wednesday will (hopefully) be a weekly feature on those obscure toys and toylines of the 80’s and early 90’s. I hope to do my small part in helping these under-appreciated toys from being lost to obscurity while also reliving a few parts of my childhood.
So to kick-start things off we have McDonalds attempt to ride the transforming-robot-bandwagon with their Happy Meal pack-in, THE CHANGEABLES!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share some quick pics of Jazware’s Sonic the Hedgehog action figures.
They’ve been steadily releasing some of Sonic’s supporting cast lately, and so I figured I’d do a group shot to show how far they’ve come. However, I’m still missing Amy, and I haven’t picked up any of the “Super” Hedgehogs. The retail prices on these at Toys ‘R’ Us have been steadily increasing, they were $4.99 when they first came out, now they’ve ballooned to $9.99 in my local TRU! So, I don’t know how long I can support this line, which sucks because even though I’m not very familiar with the Sonic Universe, I do like the character designs and the colorfulness of the line. Just look at that pic, I feel like eating some Skittles candy!

Here’s a couple of quick pics of the first wave of Green Lantern Classics. I got this set from my local Toys ‘R’ Us, so they’re hitting stores right now.
Green Lantern: Kyle Rayner
The last we saw of him, moldie13 was out in the desert shooting pics of the WWRp Armstrongs. We loved those pics so much that when he showed up with the Heavy Bramble from the big brother World War Robot line (WWRp is a 6-inch scaled line, while WWR is the original 12-inch scaled line), we asked him if he’d share some more pics with us.
The day of New Year’s Eve, the buzz started over at the threeA forums about the WWR Heavy Bramble MK 2.5’s finally hitting in Southern California, which spells a drop in Vegas on the same day – and I had to go to work… which meant that if I missed the delivery, I’d have to wait a few more days for a robot I’d already been waiting for months to show up. “It’s worth a shot,” I thought to myself. So I ripped off a post-it note and scrawled “LEAVE PACKAGE HERE” and printed and signed my name, got on my bike, and pedaled to work.
New Year’s Eve Twenty-Ten – the end of the worst year I can remember having. The story’s long enough already so I’ll spare you the rest of the details and get to the point – it worked. One big-ass box from threeA Toys sitting on my doormat. The year would end with a hunk of Heavy Bramble happiness after all.
This is the World War Robot Bramble Mark two-point-five, the “Heavy Bramble,” termed so for its upgraded carrying capacity (its arms are gigantic in scale compared to the original Bramble model) and its massive cannon, the PORNSTAR RPG.

Welcome 2011!!! First up for a pic review this year is one real nice figure from the G.I. Joe: Pursuit of Cobra line — 2011 Wave 1 Snake Eyes! We’ve seen this figure on display at 2010’s Comic Con, and it quickly became one of my most anticipated figures from this line. It looked like it would surpass the 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes that we had a couple of years ago, let’s find out if it did!
