Red Ranger has to explain to Jeff Goldblum that he can't be the new Black Ranger
This picture is in direct response to Dan's challenge. Of course I only have 2 Power Rangers, so I had to improvise and create my own Power Rangers team. Action Ranger's Power Rangers?
Either way, ball's in your court now Dan.
Oh snap! If I had the crappy Comissioner Gordon figure from the Infinite Heroes line I could have made him... COMMISSIONER ZORDON!
Armored Truck
You know, I thought this Hot Wheels car felt a little light. You'd think a diecast armored truck would have a little more heft to it. But then I realized why it was so light.
It's hollow inside! And how cool is it that they had molding on the inside of the door? Even if it doesn't make any sense why the outside would have a handle but the inside would have wheel based lock... I don't think... I'm not a locksmith. But still, kinda weird.
But this is awesome, because you can actually have the Hot Wheels Armored Truck carrying things. Although you might want to skip putting valuables in it. It may be called an Armored Truck but it's still just a toy car. An easily lost or stolen toy car.
Security your name is not "Hot Wheels."

Well that's just ridiculous
Can we all acknowledge that Toys R Us packed my Cyberman action figure in a box clearly too large for its contents?
You see that small box at the bottom of the picture, that's the Cyberman. See the large cardboard box that is like 20 times its size? That's what it came in.
Ellen & Simon
So these guys are from the rebooted Battlestar Gaactica series. Since I never really watched Battlestar Galactica, the only thing I can tell you about these guys was that their box was $2.50 and I like paying cheap prices for minimates. Okay, I'm a nerd., I can tell you a bunch of crap about these characters because I got bored and wikipediaed the whole series, but it's all third hand knowledge and you know what, some of these things get to be short.
Actually, one question. The coloring of Ellen's feet makes it look like she's barefoot. Did that actually happen in the series? That's not the kind of thing they explain on Wikipedia unless it was a plot point. That's the main problem with wikipedia. Well that and its incredibly high levels of unreliability.

Buyer's Remorse: Fake Poop edition
So hey, fake poop for a $1 at Target. But to keep it or not to keep it? It's only $1. I spend more on that on a candy bar. But that's a $1 I can spend on Green Lantern toys. And as Ben Franklin once said, "Dipshit, save your money so you can spend it on better things."
But on the keep it side of the argument, it makes a squeak noise when you squeeze it.
Sniper Barbie would like to have a word
Actually that's Seattle Supersonics Barbie in a Sniper uniform. But same difference.
Oh yeah, I've decided I'm just going to post weird pictures of some of my toys every now and then.

Age of Apocalypse Nemesis & Age of Apocalypse Morph
Oh poor Morph. You were a character introduced in the 90's X-Men cartoon for the sole purpose of getting killed and making it dramatic that one of the X-men died. But then you proved to be so popular that they decided to introduce you into the comics, but unlike X-23 you never got to be in the real comics, you were shunted off to alternate realities that only got limited series. But then you showed up in Exiles before that was cancelled nine times.
And now you're packed alongside a villain that they had to rename "Nemesis" because when they first came up with the character nobody though to wonder if calling a genocidal psychopath character "Holocaust" would be in bad taste.
But hell, it was the 90's. Which was like comic books stupid teenage years.
