Welcome To Jurassic Park

One of my favorite movies of all time is Jurassic Park, and with it being back in theaters (in 3D no less!) I decided to dig through the boxes in my toy room and show off my JP collection.  Some of the figures are pretty worn in, but they've been well used!  Not only is JP one of my favorite movies, it's one of my all time favorite toy lines.

I've also done something a little different with the pics this time that I may or may not do again, depending on how these go over:  Speech balloons.  I've wanted to try them for a while, but the paint program on my MAC is pretty sad, so these took a lot of time and effort.  There's not a TON of voice balloons, because that would have taken forever.  Any way, let's dig in!

Wild, Crazy, and Cool

Welcome to the wacky world of Mad Wheelz, where anything goes!  A chicken with mag wheels?  A turbo boosted brain?  A burger that goes 0-60 in 6 seconds?  They're wild, they're crazy...  They're cool!  They're Mad Wheelz!

I found these guys at Walgreens while on a trip to Florida back in 2004.  I'm not sure what I was doing in a Walgreens on vacation, but I guess it worked out.  These Mini Mad Wheelz have a real Savage Mondo Blitzers vibe to them, so obviously I had to give them a try.  I just wish I grabbed more than the two 3-packs that I got.  There was even an eyeball that I foolishly passed up on.  What was I thinking?  I went for the nose, and noses are harder to find in toy form than eyeballs, so I suppose it's all good.  And I love foodie characters, which make up half of my collection here.  But enough of what I could of got. What did I actually get, and how do they look next to Savage Mondo Blitzers?

Go! Launch All Eyebot!

And so another chapter begins!  I've teamed up with my fine-feathered friend Alexx (from Toys and Tomfoolery) to create our own toy-themed blog: Go! Launch All Eyebot!

What is an "Eyebot"?  What does it all mean?  Well, I like eyeballs, Alexx likes robots, and we both like toys.  I'll keep working on the Plastic Eyeball here, but I'll also post links to the updates over at the Eyebot whenever Alexx and I decide that two toy-loving heads are better than one for a particular spotlight.

Mirth will ensue.  Let's just get that out of the way right now.

AMAMOTM - March

Well, we took a look into the past.  Now let's go back to "modern times" and see what the Mega Monster Fighters are up to in "Army Men And Monsters Of The Month" for March!

We begin this month's episode with the Commander holding a briefing with the Mega Monster Fighters.

Ketchup and Mustard

Don't you just love it when a theme comes together?

I'll probably cover Skylanders at some point, but I like how these two look together, so I wanted to show them off now.

Won't Leave You Hangin'

This is just a reply to Alexx over at Toys and Tomfoolery, and his Putty offering a high five.

Obi-Wan's not really getting into it

But not to worry, Putty

That's it.  As you were.  Carry on.

Tower Ranger

Over the last little while, I've been getting into bigger and bigger action figures.  I'm not talking about 12" "doll-ish" type figures or even large buildable sets (like Bionicle).  I mean big, giant sized, chunky pieces of plastic action figures.  And this is one of the biggest I've seen.  I give you:  THE BIG ONE.
