Playmobil Fi?ures

Fi?ures are a Playmobil theme launched in 2011released in end of 2011 in usa. They consist of polybagged Playmobil Figures, in two different assortments (pink for girls, blue for boys).

"The figure is at the heart of every toy Playmobil makes. It was the first Playmobil product designed, so it’s a natural progression that the figure has its own dedicated range with an exciting twist."

I've recently begun a collection of these figures and they are so neat! I was initially attracted by Playmobil's knights. When I was a kid, my mom used to buy me and my brother sets of these knights and we had a blast raiding imaginary castles. So, it was inevitable that I tried one of the blind box figures and got a Roman centurion. I'm not a completist but at the rate I'm getting these delightful toys, I just may complete Series 4 :)

BBI Elite Force M1 Abrams

Just a quickie today, still got a ton of work to finish. It's a BBI Elite Force 1:18 M1 Abrams MBT! A coworker decided to streamline his collection and sold me this tank and two humvees. More pics soon when I get a chance to pose them with my G.I. Joes.

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...
