MINIONS IN YOUR HAPPY MEAL PART1

Before going to see Kevin, Stuart and Bob in the big screen, why not drop by McDonald's and get your happy meals. Each Happy meal comes with a Minion figure. All in all there are ten Minion figures to choose from. A bit of warning to collectors who wish to complete the whole set, these little guys are tough to find. Due to the characters popularity, most of them are already sold out. I went to more than a dozen branches to collect all of them. Happy hunting guys and enjoy.



Caveman Minion.
At the back of the figure is a lever that activates his arm with the banana.
 
 
Egyptian Hula Minion.
Press the button of top of his head to watch him play with the hula hoop.
 
 
Napoleonic era Soldier Minion.
Press the button on top of his head to make him march.

Twist the lower part of his body to see him do some mean flying kicks.

GHOSTFACE BY ASMUS TOYS

As Halloween is here creepy and scary movies are a hit. After watching some classic movies myself, I dug up my Ghostface 12 inch figure to celebrate Halloween and at the same time relive the glory days of classic horror movies. I hope you like him. Again Happy Halloween to everyone.
One of the best old school scary movie, Scream.
 
 
Just like in the movie Ghostface’s costume is mostly black. Black shoe, black pants and black hooded cloak. He came with his favorite murder weapon a dagger. As his name suggests, the main focus of the costume is his mask.
 
 
Ghostface is a serial killer and the prime antagonist in the Scream series.  
 
 
A friendly Ghostface giving peace sign.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

ARKHAM ORIGINS SERIES 2: FIREFLY

Firefly is a fictional character in the comic book world of Batman. The character was created by France Herron and Dick Sprang. His first appearance was in Detective Comics number 184 published by DC comics.
Before adopting the name Firefly, Garfield Lynns was a pyrotechnic expert in the film industry. Due to several circumstances Garfield lost his job. In order to survive in Gotham Garfield turned to petty crimes. Later on Garfield incorporated his talent in pyrotechnic and moved up the criminal ladder and became an arsonist. From his M.O. he became known as Firefly.
Scroll down to see Firefly in his Arkham Origins video game costume!
 
Detective Comics #184 debut issue of the villain Firefly
 
 
Firefly has about eleven points of articulation. What he lacks in articulation he definitely made up in the amount of sculpted detail, paint job and accessories.
 
 
Firefly carrying his custom made flame thrower.
 
 
At the back, we can see two holes for attaching his flight wings.
 
 
Closer look at Firefly’s wings. Again nice detail and paint application.
 
 
Wings attached.
 
 
Firefly figure completely assembled. For me the Firefly figure is the most impressive among the Arkham Origins wave 2 figures. The sculpting detail, the texture of the figure, the nice paint application plus his weapon system made him stand out among the other figures. Figure highly recommended!
