Random Photos for the First Half of September :: WWE, Paw Patrol, Electro, Star Wars, Batman, Fight Club, Wild Kratts

Proof that I could find the Bo Dallas t-shirt figure in stores (I saw him again after this but didn't take a photo)


Earthquake was also there.   This was my only time seeing 'Quake in stores.


A new Paw Patrol set for the water.


Upside down Electro.


Target gave new meaning to these Star Wars Mashers.   Ouch.






Paint your own Storm Trooper helmet.



This Batman set at Toys R Us is a must have.


Also the Batcave.



This was my first time seeing this Mashers set in stores.   I thought it was pretty cool.





Speaks for itself.


Finally a way to get both Kratt Brothers and some other characters being released for the first time here (Most all of them)


The Avengers Box Set is back at K-Mart.   We have all of these characters now except for Hawkeye and Black Widow, who are not worth $20.   This was at one point on eBay though for upwards of $60-$80.


This Power Ranger set, found at K-Mart, gives you Rita Repulsa, a Putty and three Rangers.  It'd save you from buying the Black Ranger/Blue Ranger two pack but then you'd have to get the Yellow Ranger with Zord or have two Red Rangers.   Yes, it is frustrating that the Rangers in here are an odd number.


And this set of blind bag Imaginext figures in the sort of Halloween/horror movie theme has the witch, zombie gardener, mummy, vampire and Frankenstein's monster.   If only it also came with the Wolf Man.   (We have the witch and vampire, passed on the zombie and so this would only be for the other two if we got it so it's not really worth it but a nice way for those who didn't blind bag early on to catch up)

New WWE Mattel Figure Prototypes and Lineup! (RSC))

Ringside Collectibles has posted the following photos for WWE Series 55:

If we see Charlotte in stores we'll probably buy her, though we'll mostly be looking for that white El Torito.   I'm not sure why Mattel felt the need to re-release that Corporate Kane figure.  Bray Wyatt's scan just looks goofy.  And that Sting might be something worth getting until we see prototypes ofr a modern version, which is what I really care about most.


Ringside Collectibles also announced the WWE Elite 39 line up here:

British Bulldog, Psycho Sid and the Godfather are three flashbacks I can do without.  I'm not sure how Damien Mizdow will be Elite since he just has the basic black look but I guess he'll get a jacket and sunglasses or whatever.   Still, an easy pass for me.   I'll have to see Dolph Ziggler before deciding on him but he might also be a pass.   The only interesting figure for me is that of Sting as the photo here shows him in his modern form and, yeah, I'd buy a modern Sting as an Elite because it might very well be the only Sting figure I ever buy.   Hopefully the prototypes for this series are shown before Series 55 so I can decide to just get this version of Sting.

Imaginext White Ranger and Tiger Zord

This appears to be a Walmart exclusive but I have yet to see it in any store.   It is one of the most sought after items for us right now.

New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Toys!! //reblog

Well if this just isn't all of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys that I want then I don't know what is:

Also, this article states that Fugitoid will appear in a boxed set exclusive to Target with the four Dimension X Turtles.   That should be nicer (and a better Christmas present) than trying to track down all of those figures on their own and will likely be how we end up getting Fugitoid:
