More From TOYCON PH 10

Here are a few toys that caught my fancy. These were released by Fresh, a local toy shop specializing in hard to find vinyl toys. I'm not looking to expand my collection to this line yet but these look quite tasty.

TS118, the Philippine's 3 3/4 (1:18 scale) figure G.I. Joe/action figure club ( of which I'm a lurking member) exhibited a modular diorama entitled "Operation: Burnt Lair." The club pioneered the Dynamic Modular Diorama or DMD wherein the diorama changes display to tell a story. these DMDs are usually exhibited during toy conventions, launches, etc. Congratulations to the guys who made this awesome setup possible!

The Nightmare Before Christmas: Doctor Finkelstein

Doctor Finkelstein is a resident of Halloween Town. He is the mad scientist and the "father" of Sally. He is described as a pale-as-a-sheet mad scientist with a duckbill-like mouth and a hinged skullcap that he can open up to reveal his brain. 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

Batmobile from Batman Beyond

This new flying Batmobile was first introduced in the Batman Beyond episode, "Black Out", when Terry McGinnis had to pursue the shape shifting criminal Inque, and has used it ever since. It can be assumed that Bruce Wayne must have built it some time after he retired as Batman, as when he retired, that sort of technology was probably not present yet to make that sort of Flying car, and its design is more similar to other flying cars of the Beyond era. Its design is a radical departure from the usual style of Batmobiles, as they usually have a bat motif, from a bat faceplate on the grill, to tail fins resembling bat wings. The new Batmobile is a simple sleek pod with sharp angles and rounded sides. Its interior is a red illuminated single person cockpit, with computer circuitry and displays visible all around. The New Batmobile has shown to have various gadgets and abilities. Among them are An interface that connects the Batmobile with the Bat
