True Heroes Navy Seal Boat Part 1

I found this True Heroes Navy Seal boat at the local Toys R Us and couldn't resist from buying it right then and there. The set features a 1:18 heavy combat boat, 3 True Heroes soldiers with equipment and a diver propulsion vehicle (DPV, also known as an underwater propulsion vehicle or underwater scooter) Produced by Hong Kong toy company Chap Mei Ltd. for Toys R Us, the True Heroes line feature similar figures from their previous military line Soldier Force. The boat is a joy to behold, chockful of details and accessories!

At the bow is a twin minigun that pops up with a press of a button to reveal rockets/torpedoes. At the cabin, a commander's hatch is fixed to a rotating headlight. At the stern, the boat is fitted with a removable accessory containing sirens, etc and a large motor torpedo boat armament featuring 4 barrels. The DPV can be attached to one side.

More pics and info soon!

Doctor Finklestein lives in a large observatory with his living rag doll creation Sally and his hunchbacked assistant Igor. James Whale's Frankenstein is quoted in Finklestein's line "I made you with my own hands" which is ironic as Finklestein's body appears to be largely if not entirely artificial. Unlike Frankenstein who takes no responsibility for his creations and disowns them almost as soon as they are completed (much like the original Dr. Frankenstein), Finklestein takes full responsibility over Sally and acts as an over-protective father and in some ways an overbearing husband (thus explaining Sally's attempts to run away) by keeping her under lock and key under the pretext of shelterin...

Migrating to Facebook

After a tragedy in the family and a slow return to my hobbies, I've realized that I've been posting more on Facebook. It's easier, faster and the audience response is faster. So, posting here might be spasmodic at best for the time being. Bear with me as I decide what to do with my blogs, thanks!
