Adventures in Toy Shopping: Target Shopping

29 05 2013

I thankfully work next to Target store so every now and then during the week I can easily stop by and browse the toy aisle. Target put their mini Man of Steel movie display and I spotted the only Movie Master Superman figure ($15.99).

The blister card packaging isn’t anything special but Superman is nicely posed within. Really excited to see the movie.

He includes a Superman Logo display stand that’s very textured.

The most apparent thing about the figure is that his entire suit is textured. Not loving the fact the S Logo is textured…it feels weird.

Mattel Man of Steel Movie Master Superman 03

He scales equally to other Mattel figures such as the DC Unlimited New 52 version of Superman.

Mattel Man of Steel Movie Master Superman 05

And he scales equally with Movie Master Dark Knight Batman.

Also spotted a cool Hasbro Marvel Universe Uncanny X-Men 3-pack featuring Wolverine, Longshot, and Rogue. You also get a non-poseable Baby Cyclops. I think I’ll this in package just cause it looks so good the way it is.

R268 Mattel DC Universe Classics Wave 4 Batman Beyond Review

27 05 2013

Originally released back in 2007, Batman Beyond best action figure to date. Features accurate TV Animation design and multiple points of articulation. Includes a silver batarang and a build a figure part for DC villain Despero. Tough to find these days so expect to pay a high collector price to add him to your collection.

Adventures in Toy Shopping: Hasbro Avengers Assemble Mighty Battler Captain America

21 05 2013

Walked into my local Target and spotted these Avengers Assemble Mighty Battlers 6″ action figures. Despite not having a lot of articulation, the figure looks good enough to me to add to my collection. I’m a Captain America and decided to pick his figure.

Hasbro Avengers Assemble Mighty Battlers Captain America 01

The figure has a simplified look and is very cartoony. Its apparent with this level of sculpting who the the target audience is and it’s not for the adult collector. Don’t expect Marvel Legends sculpting here.

His shield is attached to the figure and can not be removed.

Hasbro Avengers Assemble Mighty Battlers Captain America 04

Right shoulder is ball hinged while the left shoulder simply rotates 360. Single jointed elbows and no wrist articulation. His head is ball jointed and legs swivel forward and back. His gimmick action happens when you rotate the upper torso clockwise and release for a shield hook punch…hence the justice shield action.

Hasbro Avengers Assemble Mighty Battlers Captain America 05

He scales equally with Hasbro’s Ultimate Spider-Man 6″ action figure series :)

Hasbro Avengers Assemble Mighty Battlers Captain America 06

Pretty descent Cap figure but not for everyone. Priced pretty high at $12.99 so hopefully you can find him on sale for adding to your collection.
