New Disney "Mech X-4" toys coming 8/30!

TRU in Totowa put up a whole 4ft section early but let me buy the 4 monsters ahead of street date before they pulled the section down.

I believe they are not true 1/18 figures as they are supposed to be giant Kaiju if I am not mistaken, but they scale really well next to 1/18 figures.

Picked up a David Ortiz figure a few weeks ago that I forgot about. Red Sox offense is really missing this guy..

Scored both 3.75" Marvel Legends "Thor" sets today and the "Heroes Of The Storm" giant orc from "World Of Warcraft".

I wish that the 3.75" movie Thor came with 2 swords like every other scale version of him

I picked up some new 1/18 action figure sets at Wal-Mart today that might be of interest to my fellow collectors/customizers:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Kid-Connection-Shark-Exploration-Playset/263201719

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Kid-Connection-Dino-Attack-Play-Set/857846954

These sets utilize Chap Mei tooling, which is far superior to their usual offerings. Chap Mei is the same company that TRU uses for their "Animal Planet" and "True Heroes" branded merchandise.

Picked up 2 dinosaur skeleton puzzles today for $8 each at TJ Max.

They will be cut up into individual bones and used in dioramas.

I also received the first of 2 replacement tails for the incomplete Jakks Pacific giant sized Godzilla my mother in law gave me.

I am still waiting for the second one.

You are getting quite the RS Collection now too. It is interesting to see what folks collect.

Yeah I got quite a few figures now. Nowhere near my Star Wars or Mario collection though. I'm very picky with who I buy for Red Sox figures.

I do my morning jog watching sportscenter on espn and always see news on the Red Sox. I always like their commercials on Big Papi.
