Hama: There's too many characters to put in the book. Also Hama: I'll add my own non-toy characters!

If I am in the mood, maybe I'll make an effort to read that issue I got just to see. I did read up a bit on Dawn Moreno and reminds me a bit of X-23. Also Dawn Moreno does has that Bishoujo statue at least. LOL

My BBTS MOTU Origins Wave 6 and Scare Glow arrived, after much delays by Fed Ex who was waiting for me to not be home (and they left on the porch a day where it could rain any minute, thankfully it did not). But they look too good to open. I mean, they are unpunched! I'm almost kinda serious. I'll just buy punched cards at retail...nah, I won't.

Three things arrived this weekend. Two retro Joes: Grunt and Cobra Officer. Grunt strangely has his lips painted as his hair/eyebrows giving him a drag look??! Its very odd and off putting. The Cobra Officer includes mortar which belongs to Short-Fuse originally, but was packaged with the Cobra Officer included in the Cobra Missile Command Headquarters. So, this Cobra Officer is an homage to that. The other is this Battle Warriors two pack. He-Man is shiny here, has a full power sword, and they give both him and Battle Cat some battle damage look with slashes on their bodies, though Battle Cat has a lot more. Top flap of the box was slightly bent on one corner. Ah well, for something I'd never find in stores, good enough.

Looks like He-man is being attacked by a disembodied head and hand!
Yeah, Battlefield Warriors could become as easy to find as Rise of Evil, but that could be months at this point. Or never. Taking what you can get in packaging is the way to go.
I did see TVC ESB Lando Calrissian at Target. Fastest I've seen a new hyped figure at retail. They had 2, no other figures, leading me to ask WHY FANS SO RACIST? I mean, Carl Weathers character was also hanging around, by himself.
I joke but I didn't get him. My mind was elsewhere. And if I'm gonna shell out $13 bucks, it should be for a new/previously unmade character.

Grunt has something he'd like to share with the team, it's a secret he's been keeping for a very long time, lol. Now you know kids!
No silver emblem on the Cobra Officer card art? I'm with Bravo though, I can't keep anything on the card, so whatever.
That He-Man armor is nice and shiny. And those little dragons look like fun.
I preordered Thundercats, I like that none of them wear masks.

The comics from canada came pretty fast. They didn't provide tracking, but came fine all the same. Love the white cover.

So, because of that debit card issue, Target cancelled my Barbecue pre-order and when I went to re-pre-order him, I realized I'd lose out on the free shipping I would of got (as I pre-ordered Barbecue/BreakerwRam together). 35 gets you free shipping. Better value just to throw in a cheap blu ray, so I went with a John Hughes movie.

Target has some 25% off one toy coupon until Nov 13. In store or online. I don't know if that's a rewards card whatever thing. I just get the emails.

I'm lame for not taking pics (maybe later tonight), but got Filmation Man-E-Faces today. He's fun :-) Looks like he jumped out of the cartoon, I really like that.
And Classics Wrap-Trap also arrived. I have to say, Mumm-ra is more fun because he glows in the dark.
Too bad Wrap-Trap doesn't have that feature, but still fun.

I picked up Island Journey Rey at Ollies for $4 they must've had 30 of them. Star Wars TVC figures either in demand or worthless if they appear in any quantities, especially sequel characters. (Except Mandos and Army builder, screw you if you hope to find them anywhere at any price)
I kinda hate the hip articulation on modern Star Wars...it's counter-intuitive. I wanted to move the leg forward, but I have to swivel the thigh to the direction. I think I may have stressed the vertical hip pegs...really vertical hip pegs?
The only other interesting things at Ollies were the SOLO Kessel cardstock playset, still too much at $20. and Black Series ghost Yoda...one left. And Lanard's Jumanji Dwayne Johnson with an Elephant.

Card playsets this day and age are the worst.
Rey at least looks visually like a leading character even if her character is shit. Some sequel characters are embarrassing.
