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!

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...

Star Wars 3D Chess Set

I got this wonderful Star Wars chess set as a gift last Christmas. Its a huge set, being a bit bigger than my usual wood, traditional chess sets. The box top opens to reveal the figures mounted in a pvc shell with the board and an owner's manual behind. The set is distributed by United Labels Comicware based out in Spain but does not specify which country the components were manufactured in. Funny though that the box art features Republic Clone Troopers rather than the Imperial Stormtroopers. Call me stuck up but it gets me the same way when some people don't differentiate between Republican Roman Legions and Imperial Roman Legions. Ah, Gods of Geekery! Anyway, the set features the Galactic Empire versus the Rebel Alliance with The heroes and villains acting as the playing pieces. Unboxing the content, you'll find the following game contents: Black (Galactic Empire) Emperor Palpatine (King) Darth Vader (Queen) Imperial Stormtrooper (Bishop) Imperial Ro...
