Today we open some smaller Sonic prime figures from the figure collection. There are a few problems with this one. The first issue I ran in to was the Shard's hole was at an angle so no matter how you put the stand's peg in to the shard it sits at an angle. I thought maybe I damaged it trying to force it on but looking close at the hole you can see it is at an angle. The other Issue I had was sonic was very hard to get standing upright. His feet should have been big enough to keep him standing but they were at a weird angle and the hinges in his hips did not help that at all. Sonic just kept falling over. Tails was planned much better. While there is no way he was going to stand up with his huge tail, the tail can be turned to act like a third leg to keep him upright. Rusty Rose is the best of the three figures in this set. She has no trouble standing on her own and actually looks pretty decent in this smaller scale. I think the details in her robot arms and legs help her figure a lot. The only issue with Rusty Rose was that her head is unable to turn because her hair goes past her shoulder and locks her head in place. I do not have many of the 2.5 sonic figures from the regular line but the ones I have open I have liked. I felt very disappointed with the shard and sonic standing issue in this set. Maybe it was just my shard that had this issue. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Minerva. I found this boxed figure at my local junk shop. The box had a hard life but the figure and all of the parts were safe inside the box. This figure has some decent articulation. Lots of hinges and swivels. The thighs have an interesting sleeved swivel that I do not think I have ever seen on a transformer. The instructions were easy to follow on this one. Usually I transform a Transformer back and fourth a few times before I understand well enough to record it. This time I got through the transformation both ways on the first try. This figure has a lot of slotting spots that will no doubt wear out over time and transformations. This is a figure I probably would not have purchased in a Walmart but for $5 at the junk shop I am pretty happy with her. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a creature pack. Included in this set are two face huggers, two chest bursters and two face huggers in stasis pods. The loose creatures all have metal wiring in the tails so you can shape them. The Stasis pods have LEDs in the top of the base and an on and off switch on the bottom of the base. These are great little props from NECA. No hinges no problem! I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a skeleton. This figure is wonderfully sculpted. There is a lot of detail in the body and armor. The Extra head fits but I think it is meant to be used with Fakker from this mutant line. Maybe I am wrong. Either way it was tough removing the head and putting it back on. This figure is extremely bulky. Like Hydron he had some armor but unlike Hydron this armor is like a muscle suit with the chest armor attached and it is glued at the rubbery pegs. Skeletor's helmet comes off and it fits on his head very well. Skeletor's staff is huge and again very detailed. In the packaging I never noticed how much detail went in to this figure. Seeing it out of the box he is a hulk full of details and I really like this figure a lot. I am starting to regret selling off a lot of my classics now. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a MetaZoo Nightfall box. I picked these up on ebay recently while looking for more sealed trading cards to open. The box is sealed with the usual branded shrink wrap you might expect on a box of cards. There is also a fancy plastic sticker sealing the flap of the box. Inside we find a play mat, a sealed holo promo card, a rule book, a metal collectible coin, 60 MetaZoo sleeves, a Token sheet, an Aura deck and 10 booster packs. The playmat is a quality print with a plastic feel to it. The art on the promo card is the same as the play mat. The metal coin is well done though being black it is hard to see the details unless you hit the light just right. The sleeves are are a simple black color with MetaZoo branding. The rule book is printed on some sort of news print. Finally the booster packs are wrapped in that typical bootleg Chinese type wrapping. It is much thicker than the wrapping on yu-gi-oh or pokemon wrapping. It is not a bad thing it is just very noticeably different from most card packs I have opened. Some of the cards did have some marks and edge damage but for the most part they seemed fine. None of the cards including the holos had any lines through the art or scuffing on the surface. After putting them in sheets in my binder in order I found I have not even made a dent in this sets commons. If the price does not go up on these I might pick up another box or two and try to finish out the common set. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open and assemble a Pikachu. I stopped by my local dollar general and finally found a Pikachu set. Like the other sets it is a simple build. The instructions were easy to follow. The weakest parts of these sets is the hand/arm parts. With a little more effort on the hands I think these would be improved greatly. It is still a fun little set and I enjoyed assembling it. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open another DC statue by Kotobukiya. This is a great looking statue. The base was already attached to her foot unlike most of the kotobukiya statues I have opened. The wand could have been a little thicker. I am afraid it will disappear since it does not seem to snugly fit in her hand. The sculpt of her shirt and costume are great and very detailed. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open another prime figure. Mr. Dr. Eggman is up this time. This figure has a star shaped button near the neck that lifts his hair. The hair can be turned and positioned at different angles. It actually looks pretty good in different positions. Eggman is appropriately egg shaped. The figures from this line are also very well balanced. Maybe it is the large feet on this line that is helping with the better stabilization compared to the 4 inch line. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Whack a mole style frog game. This game is much larger than I expected. It has lights and sounds and several modes. Two hammers are included. The hammers have soft rubbery heads. There are two feet buttons. The left button plays music and the right button allows you to pause the game. On the right side you will find three toggle switches. On and off, Game type and a volume switch that can be set to off, on or louder. The second level mode that I did not show used music from Super Mario bros 3. I am always looking for more frog items for my Cirno fumo to interact with. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Man at arms. Man at arms has the typical Origins articulation. His neck has a great range of motion. His armor is removable. The armor is made from a rubbery plastic. He come with his classic scepter or mace like weapon. Even after opening so many of these Origins figures there are still so many I do not have. I am happy there were so many released. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Diana from the Hasbro Cartoon D&D line. I mentioned it when I unboxed the Hank figure but I really feel like whoever was in charge of this line loved the cartoon. I am not sure why the neck joint on this figure is on a ball with a hinge. That seems like something you would expect to have on a character that can fly. Overall the figures seem well made so far. I purchase these at the discounted $9.99 price so maybe If I was paying the original MSRP I might feel differently about the quality of the figures. I hope I can get my hands on the rest of the team. It seems like the lack of windows on the packaging really did hurt this and other figures released around this time. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open another Dragonball Gals Android 18. I believe this is the last of my Dragon ball Gals statues. The stand for this figure slots in tight and the statue is nice and stable. As usual with this line she has very exaggerated features. Overall another nice statue for my collection of statues. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open an Ironhide. This was a fun conversion. It does have a lot of shell like parts that easily flop off. The feet had a weird unused hinge too for some reason. Everything snapped in to place and fit well. The instructions were easy to follow. The wheels on this figure are extremely cheaply made, very loose and thin. I like the hinge on the gun that converts it in to a war hammer. Ironhide can not look up but the rest of the body has decent articulation. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching, Take it easy.

Today we open a Yu-Gi-Oh Rokket Revolt structure deck. There are several shiny cards, A play mat and instruction book. Everything you need to play. These cards look a lot more complex with a lot more text in the card description than the cards I remember. I always enjoy looking through the artwork on Yu-Gi-Oh cards. The blue eyes pack we opened at the end was very nostalgic. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we build a 7/11. This mini store came out pretty nice. The blocks are well made and snapped together well. The instructions were easy to follow. There were no instructions for the stickers but I think I figured it out. At the end I used some of the led blocks from a previous video to light up our mini 7/11. I like this little store a lot. I will have to pick up some of the other stores they offer. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Trespasser. This figure is a heavy chunk of plastic. While the articulation is limited he gets around ok. The neck is on a ball joint and it allows him a range to look around. His jaw is hinged and can open and close. There is a bendy metal wire in the lower end of the tail. The smaller arms are on swivel and hinge in the chest. The larger arms have a better range at the shoulder. The elbows are very limited though. The big hand claws are pretty sharp too. The legs at the hip and feet at the ankle are on a swivel while the knees are on a hing. I am not the biggest fan of Pacific Rim but these 18 inch figures are really nice. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a long towel. This long towel is very well printed. I did not spot any lint holes in the print or out of place threads. I do not see any reason why you could not use this as a scarf as the medium Cirno demonstrates. Micro fiber is not the most comfortable cloth though. I want to find the rest of this set. They would display great on a towel rack or even to tie up curtains. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Starscream. This is another nice little Collectors club transformer. It is not a complex transformation but at least is is not just a shell. I was not sure what exactly I was looking at on the instructions at first but I figured it out eventually. There is not much articulation on this figure. There is a swivel on the neck, the shoulders give him the ability to raise his arms and he had knee joints. I have two or three more figures from this line. I hope you are looking forward to them. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a cyborg Amy. I assume it is Amy anyway. This figure has uneven articulation. Like sonic she has a hinged ball joint neck. I could not get the hinge in her neck to move but it has good enough range on the ball. Her left and right arms have different articulation at the elbow and wrist. Her left wrist has no articulation. From the waist down her articulation is the same at the hips knees and ankles. I was surprised that this figure like Sonic is not top heavy or at least I did not have any trouble standing her up. The character design on this one is interesting. I am interested to see what is happening in this show. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Scott Hall. As usual with this like we have some soft goods. In this case an nWo shirt. He also comes with a championship belt, some shades, spray paint can and two additional sets of hands. The shirt and belt are easy to remove. The cloth shirt has a Velcro strip on the back. The belt has rubbery pegs and holes. The elbow and knee pads can be removed but it is a lot of work. The body and articulation are the same as most of the rest of the figures in this line. Scott's head has a ponytail that gets in the way so he can not look up at all. The face seems a bit bloated to me. If it were not so bloated I think it would be a decent likeness. What do you think? I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Hank. Unfortunately I forgot to hit record and have no footage opening the paper wrappers that the figure and weapons were in. The card, box is sturdy but collectibles like these need windows. Adding a nice window would have been very simple on these figures. The figure has decent articulation. Hank's green gambeson is rubbery and flexible so you can utilize the joints in his shoulders and hips. The head is on a ball on top of the neck and the neck is a swivel. Hank gets a decent bend and twist at the waist. The waist appears to be a kind of loose ball joint. The over all sculpt is great. His hair looks amazing! The smile with the teeth looks a bit off to me though. Hank comes with an eight sided die, his normal bow and a powered up ready to fire bow. It is unfortunate these figures appear to have been shelf warmers. I have only opened one so far but I really like it. Do you think it is a matter of there not being enough interest in the old cartoon or was it bad press and the lack of windows to see what you are getting? I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open some ninja's in training. This set includes Donatello and Leonardo. These little figures have a neck swivel, shoulder swivel and hinge and waist swivel. The legs are fixed. They come with small toy looking weapons. I will have to see if I can find the Mike and Raph set. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we assemble a not ED-209. This little kit looks pretty good assembled. There is some use of the center peg on the female side of some bricks that did not seem very well thought out or strong. There were some spots on the leg that could have used some extra help to make the build more solid. It looks like ED-209 and the instructions were easy to follow so I am still very happy with this little kit. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Fire Man. This is a great figure. The paint looks clean. Fire man looks like he is made of candy. Included in the package is an extra head several Fire parts a stand and a fire wave. The fire parts are translucent and can be swapped around between his hands and heads. The fire wave plugs in to the stand. Be careful with his shoulder pads. It looks like they are strapped to his chest armor so you do not want to try and twist them with his arms. This is my favorite of the first wave of Jada Mega man figures. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.
