I am really happy to see Jem back and as successful as this new expensive line seems to be so far, I really do hope that a more afforadable line can come to stores. And MOTUC has really been a great line. I keep looking forward to what will be released next.

I'm still waiting for freed up space before I can open everything up. lol That is sad. And TMNT really surprised me. I hadn't planned on picking up as much as I did, but Playmates really turned out a great line.<br /><br />And i wanted Glory Bird in the picture with the Sisters, but I couldn't find the right way of posing the bird. I wanted it to look like Glory Bird was flying overhead, but I gave up trying to do that and just took a picture with the Sisters themselves. Somewhere Glory Bird is calling his agent. And yes I agree, the Sorceress turned out to be one fantastic figure.<br /><br />And I just love Monster High too! It is really a great line for all ages. <br /><br />and in my heart of hearts, of course the Crystal Falls is number one! That's why Lego Land decided to have a huge party there. lol Thanks for enjoying the list.

I do agree with you though, I would like to see some of those older 80's characters return, if only because they were so great. I like new villains and what-not, but some familiar faces never hurt either. I haven't really heard much else on the fate of the Michael Bay TMNT movie. Maybe it won't be happening anytime soon.<br /><br />And I am not too thrilled about the Superman movie. It doesn't look bad, but I just have no interest in a new Superman movie. I was only thrilled about the new Batman movie because of Catwoman. But give me a Wonder Woman movie any day. I keep waiting and hoping that it will happen. I think it could. JLA is also really good. I am enjoying it. And I also am still liking Arrow. I'll like it even more when Black Canary shows up. Not to sound like a broken record or anything.<br /><br />I did read Mosquitor's bio. His name was Bliddeon Black. The names for these characters are always interesting, I want to know the motivation behind it all. lol And I agree, I am not a huge fan of Patchouli. I can handle it mixed with other things, but not really by itself. And Frosta does look like a great figure! I hope for the same greatness with Glimmer.Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-86347912309114724122012-12-23T23:32:26.562-06:002012-12-23T23:32:26.562-06:00Well thank you so much EightiesMan! I would never ...Well thank you so much EightiesMan! I would never encourage people to add to their full collections, but those POP vinyl toys are pretty small, and they wouldnt take up too much room... lol I love those things. I had tried not to collect them because I collect too much, but they wormed their way into my heart. I hope you do find some TMNT Classics though, those are so hard to find! And I am very very happy that you are collecting MOTUC. It is the best toy line.<br /><br />And that sounds like a good deal on the Crystal Castle. The swan is probably Enchanta, you can read some what about that toy here- http://diaryofadorkette.blogspot.com/2011/12/toy-chest-tuesday-enchanta.html so to get that and the Castle for 50 or at the least 40, I think that would be a good deal. I would look over everything though just to make sure. Oh that is so cool that you might own a Crystal Castle!

You opened the box in 2012, so...LOL!!! (Number 1)!<br />Thanks for the Voltron linkage, I appreciate it, although, if your readers are interested, they will get a lot of info.<br />The Turtles deserve a spot, the new basic figures are the best and number 1 is April, best version yet!<br />I read all the hate with the Star Sisters, I thought they were a great set and that is why I didn't remove them from the box; they display well and I think they are really nice--where is Glory Bird in the photo huh??? Got to have Glory Bird! <br />The Sorceress is probably the best of the best; she would be number 2 if Teela was ever available--but Temple of Darkness Sorceress is just awesome, so giant shoulder rivets or not, I think The Sorceress is just fine.<br />...and as for Monster High, well, I have all the figures I want--Cleo and Deuce 2pk, Ghoulia, SDCC Ghoulia and Cupid. They are great "doll-tion" figures, but I like to keep mine behind their package window, because they will get destroyed. I had given my Beach Cleo to a friends daughter and I'm told she never puts her down--go Monster High!<br /><br />Great top 10, maybe I'll do a top 10 of what I picked up this year regardless of when it was actually released, I'll send you the link.<br /><br />Once again, nice list.Paladinhttp://nerdsociety.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-66598918501313636042012-12-23T02:12:39.789-06:002012-12-23T02:12:39.789-06:00Though I am sad Thundercats bombed (not as sad as ...Though I am sad Thundercats bombed (not as sad as I was when motu 2003 bombed-lets give it another try people! It's like the best franchise in the world! Or just give it to me if you don't know what to do with it!) I was very glad to see the Turtles kicking some foot ass again this year -and though I don't have any of the toys, I have to say the show is really, actually very funny and good. Quality kids entertainment that adults can laugh at too. Only complaint: more 1987 era series characters please! Every version of Turtles since has tried to ignore all those crazy characters bu there is gold there I tell ya! Lets mix em in! I hope this new series has ended the plan of making that ill-advised Michael Bay Turtle movie I heard about, where the Turtles are aliens or something. He already ruined Transformers lets not let him ruin the rest of our childhoods!Let him make a movie about M.A.S.K or something where no one remembers the names of any of the characters and he can make it an unwatchable mass of CGI explosions like he likes to do.<br /> I am also not looking forward to the new Superman movie because no one has known what to do with that franchise since-like the first one. Well the first two, but technically they were filmed back to back so it was like one. I can only hope this one isn't another embarrassment but, really, at this point, let's just do a frickin' Wonder Woman! How many crappy Superman movies do they have to make before they give Wonder Woman one single movie! And as I've said, I'm no fan of the latest Bat films, but that hasn't stopped me from subscribing to JLA which is beyond good lately. And at least we have Arrow, which, as we have said many, many times in the past, kicks giant monster ass.<br /> Motu classics, while I don't own any, look like the best toys ever. I see you received you Mosquitor. did you read his bio? I seem to remember him having a particularly hilarious name, but I forget what it was. And you are correct, Stinkor was scented with Patchouli, and if you hate hippies as much as I do that is one thousand times worse than smelling like farts. Is the new one scented? <br />Maybe everyone wanted to burn their Star sisters-but they better not burn their Frostas. Her figure looks babealicious. I hope Glimmer looks that sexy.spazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-7051489923213297732012-12-23T00:33:28.522-06:002012-12-23T00:33:28.522-06:00Great job Miss M!

I wanted to pick up some of the POP vinyl stuff...but I didn't want to start another collection >< I missed out on Voltron (had no clue about the subscription until it was too late). I love Mattel DC. I love the Marvel Select stuff...I tracked down the Dr. Doom with his throne. I loved the Turtles, and I hope to find the Classics ones out and about. As you know, I only recently started MotUC - and I'm so very happy I did. Awesome toys. You typed farts! Ha! <br /><br />Guess what! I found a little toy store close by to me in a magical little place called Elizabethton, TN called T.V. Memories...and they have a LOOSE CRYSTAl CASTLE! I dunno if it's complete or not but it comes with a swan for $50. It's a large swan, and if I recall correctly didn't She-Ra have a swan vehicle? Anyway, the swan is naked but the castle looks to be in decent shape. You think fifty is a decent deal? I could probably get them down to $40. The next time I go by there, I'm going to open it and see what all is in there.<br />Happy holidays!EightiesManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967723988561950450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-71355173366527318352012-12-22T22:28:44.764-06:002012-12-22T22:28:44.764-06:00Thank you Kal!

I love Robecca Steam. My biggest problem is that I collect way too many of these gals. lol And for dolls, they do have an incredible amount of articulation. I think that is a selling point for so many guys collecting these too, because I know quite a few guys that like these.<br /><br />And I do love that Colossus Marvel Select figure! I like that they have done these with the X-Men characters. I am really looking forward to the Nightcrawler. <br /><br />Thank you for the comment Kal! it is nice to hear from you!Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-73669926416199666482012-12-22T22:18:18.259-06:002012-12-22T22:18:18.259-06:00Oh Sarah, I should leave my MH addiction to my inn...Oh Sarah, I should leave my MH addiction to my inner 9 year old self too, but I just can't help but collect them. lol They are so much fun.

I just bought my first one - the steampunk robot girl and I know I won't be able to resist them.
