Cooey's Toy Box

Found this lot on sale recently and I purchased a few samples. The sample shown here is named the Tremor Driller, a NEO Shifters toy vehicle that comes in 19 pieces. Instructions are included on how to assemble the vehicle but the parts can be assembled in a variety of ways. The kit also comes with a minifig called the Phantom NEO with weapons. The figure can turn into a ball! Here's the lowdown on the toyline ( swiped from wiki): NĒO Shifters are a line of toys designed by MEGA Brands Inc. The novelty behind these toys is their ball shape which spreads opens into a robotic action figure(the Shifter) and releases a second miniature creature(the Neo) from its belly, resulting in a two in one toy with multiple play possibilities. NĒO Shifters are divided into two factions. Some NĒO Shifters, like Paladins, believe in responsible consumption of resources, that survival of the Galaxy very much depends on finding alternative methods of producing and preserving energy resources...

The Question is the name used by a number of superheroes in comic books published by DC Comics. The original was created by writer-artist Steve Ditko for Charlton Comics. The character was acquired by DC Comics in the early 1980s and incorporated into the DC Universe. The original Question (Vic Sage) has been succeeded by his protege Renee Montoya. The Question uses a special mask made from Pseudoderm and is bonded to his face by a gaseous chemical to conceal his identity. The gas also recolors his garb and hair. He is portrayed as a conspiracy theorist, a blend of Rorschach from the Watchmen comics and Fox Mulder of the popular television series The X-Files. More on the Question here.

Some new hauls I got at the last TOYCON. The middle figure was a single packed Snake Eyes with the crossed trench knives. The two figures flanking him are Snake Eyes and Stormshadow from the 2-pack.  The 2 pack was a bit of a letdown with no stands and no minicomicbook but the packaging said that one was inside. Pictures of these soon:)

The guys at TS118 wghipped out another diroama during the recently concluded Toycon 2010 at the SM Megamall in Ortigas. Here are some of the pix. Enjoy!

These are due August 2010. I wonder when they'll hit Philippine shores...
