A Monster in every Pocket

One of the better keshi lines to celebrate Halloween with is Monster in my Pocket. If you've never checked the line out before, I highly suggest you do. A mix of monsters based on mythology, folklore, and cryptozoology with a dash of famous fictional monsters makes for one AWESOME set of figures. There's a wide variety of colors and sculpts in the various series. Personally I prefer the Super Scary series, though I'd love to pick up some of the wrestlers and neon figures. 

Vehicle Voltron commercial

It's really hard to deny just how good looking of a toy Vehicle Voltron/Diarugger is. Just a crazy mix of random vehicles assembling into one big ass mighty robot. For no particular reason I've always been drawn to his feet. Something about those trucks forming roller skates for a giant robot wielding a sword tells me he's going to win the hokey pokey. I remember a few years ago when Hasbro held a fan vote for a Combiner Wars set, Vehicle Voltron was the inspiration for all of my votes. I just liked the variety. A team of similarly themed vehicles makes sense for a combiner team, but...

Look, it's almost Thanksgiving and I was about to make a Planes, Trains, and Automobiles joke.

Robotech SDF-1 Commercial

For some reason, it's just now occurring to me just how nice of a toy the SDF-1 is. Robotech/Macross has some seriously slick looking designs, that's no mystery, but it's really apparent just how good looking that old Matchbox SDF-1 was. Not sure how I overlooked it so much in the past. I always thought the ship looked good, guess I never really paid the toy much attention somehow.
