SERGEANT FIRST CLASS RANDY SHUGHART BY DAM FIGURES

Sergeant First Class Randall Shughart took part in the Battle of Mogadishu as part of a Delta Force sniper team who heroically defended a crashed black hawk and ultimately gave their life fighting to protect the pilot of the downed aircraft. Because of their action Sergeant First Class Shughart and his team leader Master Sergeant Gordon was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest award given to a serviceman.

Actor Johnny Strong portrayed the character of SFC Shughart in the 2001 movie Black Hawk Down directed and produced by Ridley Scott.

Here is DAM figures version of SFC Shughart.

LEGO MINI FIGURES SEREIS 8 PART 4

Here are the last four mini figures for Lego’s series 8 enjoy.

Figure 13 is a CHEERLEADER.

Back in series one they released a cheerleader but in blue outfit. This time around they made the outfit red and changed the head piece. Now that we have two different cheerleaders, making an army of them seems like a nice idea.

 

 

Figure 14 is the THESPIAN.

He looks like he came straight out of Shakespeare’s book. As a bonus he came with another head or face. The alternate head looks like a skull. A nice touch since Halloween is coming.

 

 

Figure 15 is a PIRATE CAPTAIN.

One glance and you know he is Capt. Hook. Actually he has a hook for his left hand.  He can easily fit in any Lego Pirates of the Caribbean set.

 

 

Figure 16 is the ALIEN VILLAINESS.

A cool figure with a pink head. His face is actually a piece you attach to the neck or head; finally you cover it with the clear pink brain like piece. She also came with a weird looking gun.

 

 

 

 

 

LEGO MINI FIGURES SERIES 8 PART 3

Here are four more mini figures just for you guys. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Figure 9 is the FAIRY.

She has translucent blue wings, a pink star wand, a cloth like material for her skirt and a cool looking hair style.

 

 

Figure 10 is none other than SANTA.

Mini fig SANTA is just in time for Christmas season. He also has his bag of gift with him.

HOHOHO!

 

 

Figure 11 is a VAMPIRE BAT. 

Lego released a similar figure but in brown color in their Monster Fighter series.

Halloween is fast approaching a figure like the VAMPIRE BAT is a welcome addition to my Halloween gang.

 

 

Figure 12 is the DJ.

He came with a spinning record and an album.

The thing I like about the DJ is his head phone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LEGO MINI FIGURES SERIES 8 PART 2

I’m back with figure four to eight from Lego’s mini figures series 8.

Enough chat let’s go straight to the figures.

 

Figure 5 is a FOOTBALL PLAYER.

He has body armor similar to the CONQUISTADOR, a football helmet and a Matt gold trophy.

 

 

Here is how the figure looks with the grid on the helmet out of the way.

 

 

Figure 6 is the DIVER.

What I like the most about the figure is his facial expression magnified by the lens of the helmet, he looks extra happy. Aside from the helmet he came with a harpoon and two grey brick to add height I guess.

 

 

Printing on the back of the figure.

 

A side view of the helmet and the harpoon.

 

Figure 7 DOWNHILL SKIER. 

She came with pink skies and white poles. Basically she is the female version of the skier from series two, the poles are the same but the skies are pink instead of white. A nice companion for your male skier.

 

 

Figure 8 BUSINESSMAN.

 

 

His accessories are among the coolest in the set. Check out the block representing a news paper it has readable letters, plus his suit case can be opened.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LEGO MINI FIGURES SERIES 8 part 1

Lego’s mini figures are the heart and soul of the Lego community. These little figures are the citizens of every Lego city or play sets. They give life and character to our miniature cities with their different costumes and facial expressions. Series eight will feature 16 unique mini figures for Lego fans to collect. So collect them we do. For part one of the review, let’s take a look at the first four figures in the series.

 

Figure 1 is the EVIL ROBOT.

He has a claw for his right arm and is equipped with a laser gun.

 

 

EVIL ROBOT without his helmet.

The torso of the figure has printed detail which adds to the appeal of the figure.  No print on the back side.

 

 

Figure 2 is a cool looking CONQUISTADOR.

He is clad in a nice gold armor and gold helmet. He also carries a sword with him. The detail on his armor and legs are what caught my attention, aside from his metallic gold color.

 

 

Figure 3 is the LEDERHOSEN GUY.

He came with a unique accessory, a pretzel. The hat and its color somehow remind me of Robin Hood.

 

 

Figure 4 is a COWGIRL.

She came with a hat and a rope.  Back in series one a cowboy was also released making them a nice set for your Lego rodeo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DC COLLECTIBLES NEW 52 FLASH

I’m excited to get this figure of The Flash in his new 52 look. We know that his the fastest man alive but as you follow the rebooted series of the flash other abilities wound be revealed. So try to grab some of the New 52 the Flash books if you can. For now check out this good looking figure it may give you the push you need to start reading comic books again.

Barry’s new look was designed by famous comic book artist Jim Lee.

 

Close up of the Head sculpt for The Flash.

 

Side view showing some details of the head.

 

The suit has engraved lines for additional detail. Paint applications are excellent. DC Direct figures are a bit short on the articulation part but the detail is excellent.

I don’t play with them so articulation is not a problem.

 

Better look at his lightning markings.

 

Well detailed boots also with engraved lines.

 

Just like the other parts of the figure, the back side also has the engraved lines. The figure is also well balanced, he can stand on his own with ease.
