Action Figure Antics! Woody and Buzz and Transformers...

I clearly remember walking with my mom and sister that cloudy day down 14th St. in NYC. I suppose we were doing some real/window shopping. I must have been about 8 or 9  years old - always looking for a new toy. As we passed by the stores, my glance caught sight of a little black truck in a box. It was more than just a little black truck... it was a Transformer! I had heard of them at the time... I had a few GoBots - which were cool. But, these guys were "BiG". I was almost going to point it out to mom, but I thought it would be too expensive, so I didn't say anything.

I doubted they could ever make anything cooler than this!

Bored, as I waited for mom to look at some items inside one of those "little of everything" stores. I started to look around, and there it was... Trailbreaker! The same robot-car I saw in that store window! At this point, I felt like hours had past, and I had invested enough time into "patiently waiting". If I made a sad enough face, maybe I could guilt mom into getting me something. =)

I can't remember all the details arguing my case - but I am sure it also involved my good grades and how I had been a "good boy" that week. Not before long... I had my 1st Transformer!

Made GoBots look like squeeky "kids toys"

I was so enamored by the "Bigness" of the car-robot! In time, I talked my way into getting a "bad guy" - the blue F-15 fighter jet... Thundercracker! Birthday? Optimus Prime! Christmas? Megatron! And so on... not before long, I had an awesome Transformer collection including the likes of SoundWave and JetFire. Unlike my Star Wars collection (which I practically gave away :( ) I did not sell any of my original Transformers. They are very "played with" - and are almost falling apart - but are still awesome. About 10 years ago... I learned about the "Re-Release" of Transformers figures. Not just the exact re-release, but "Masterpiece" versions - that where almost 3x the size!! Not time to showcase all the ones I got... but, I will share a special moment from a few years ago - when I had Woody and Buzz spend some time with them.

#1 - If you ask Megatron, he may have a better answer....

#2 - Is this little guy yours?

#3 - What kind of stupid question is that?! Ask my Mini-Me!

#4 - Do I look like a "Mini-me" ? I am not the smallest Megatron, you know!

#5 - That is a very personal question... go away...

#6 - Stuck baby-transformer-sitting...

#7 - Woodimus Prime!

#8 - Buzzimus?

#9 - Identity crisis...

#10 - GOT CHA!!

#11 - NO - I GOT CHA

I did the captions in a hurry... please leave better captions in the comments below! Just say the picture # and then write something up! 

What a bunch of Poo...

It's only a matter of time before there is a Mr. Poo Head on toy store shelves... I can almost see it...
They already went there in South Park with Mr. Hankey... but I see no reason why they can't make it, market it and sell it.

After all, Poo-Dough is out there:

Can you imagine the possibilities?!

As if that's not fun enough, there is Doggie Doo:

Whoever scoops the most... Wins!!

If that was not disturbing enough, let's pair poo with another bodily function and make them plush:

Cute...

Where can I buy this?!

Or - how about an action figure?

HA!

The FINAL frontier...

And how about a toy that poos something you can eat?

 

Mmm... yummy.

Lest we forget... 

I'm sure there are more poo-toys I missed...

Action Figure Antics! Star Wars Edition...

This will not come to shock to most of you... My earliest memories of being alive actually include me playing with Star Wars action figures... (!)

Nope. I haven't changed much...

I would get them for my birthday... for Christmas... for doing well at school... and any other opportunity I could get my little hands on! My biggest mistake was selling my Star Wars figure collection when we moved back from living 5 years of my teenage life in Peru. :(
After moving back to the States, I tried getting over the loss by "growing up" and moving on from toys.In my late teenage years, I continued to secretly collect all sorts of action figures, including G.I.JOE. and Transformers. Then... when Star Wars figures were "re-released" under a "new" Power of The Force... I felt compelled to fill-in the void by collecting only the main characters. In time, this became a HUGE collection in itself. Once again, I found myself parting with them to start a family business. All were not given up though - and many live on. Bellow, you will see some of them along with everyone's favorite Toy Story toys.. Woody and Buzz. In future posts - I will share more insane Woody & Buzz figure mayhem!
Enjoy!

HEY LOOK BUZZ! It's ZURG!!

So tell me Mr. ZURG... why so serious?

WOA! That isn't real is it?

   

HAHA... It's Fake!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's escape the Sarlacc together!

I look better escaping the Sarlacc pit... 

So - tell me, was it as painful as it looks?

WAIT! I thought there was supposed to be a little guy in there!!!

This looks very "Handy"

What is your "favorite" human interface device (HID)? Keyboard? Mouse? Joystick?

For me? I love the Kinect for my Xbox... but I do not find myself using it as often as I'd like.

As an "old-school" gamer, I guess the joystick is still my favorite (thumb-stick really). Mouse does take the #1 spot for any first-person-shooters (FPS) - especially on PC. Although there are plenty of touch-screen and gyroscopic games on my smart-phone that have warmed up my heart...

This may change everything:

What do you think?

BIGFOOT LIVES!!!

Earlier this year... there was a depressing post that Nessy was less-than-real... This however, makes me smile:
New Evidence of Bigfoot's Existence
WOOHOO!!

Coincidentally, I just saw this VSauce clip last night on "Real Monsters"!!

Yep... not only do they have Bigfoot in there... but they show that almost every continent, every culture on the planet has some type of Bigfoot!

IS THIS STAR WARS?!

Just when I thought I "knew" Star Wars... time to think again.

"Longer ago... in a galaxy even further away...."

Dubbed as "The Star Wars" - it's a comic book mini-series based on George Lucas' rough-draft original screenplay...
WOW!!!
If anyone gets this, read it and let me know if it's worth getting!

Insane in the Mainframe

Really sick deal on the Bioshock games from Amazon:
