SAYING GOODBYE...

So this is it...moving out Friday, my very last week in the house I have grown up in for 21 years! Going to be weird living on my own from now, never had a Christmas were I wake up in the morning and there’s just me there! Will be doing allot of socializing over my holidays of work though so should be ok!
But deffo looking forward to Christmas, went out last night so missed 'jingle all the way' on TV...my favorite Christmas movie! haha have to cop it on DVD this week sometime cause Christmas isn’t Christmas without jingle all the way and national lampoons! (Watched that other night though!
Anyway...on to some toxic figures! Not much to show... did get some nice GI-Joe's this week though!...






Also, got this vintage Raphael money box, and have got Donatello on the way from the same series (saw one in Brighton in the big second hand antique emporium but was a little overpriced for my budget that day, but managed to grab this one after for a great price so was all good!
i do love how tacky it is, its obviously not an official product, but i do love my vintage knock off stuff...



Also, bought this box set from HMV £12?!?! all 5 films with a bonus disk, I watched all these growing up, but haven’t watched them for so long, put the first one in the DVD player and have been Hooked!! I love the look of all the gorillas riding on the black horses with there leather amour and rifles, ALL the characters are so well written, especially Dr. Zaius, is ignorance is so frustrating, great character to hate! and its got to be said that Linda Harrison is so amazing as 'nova' the mute tribal cave girl,
I have watched 1 and 2 so far, and my daysssss do I enjoy these movies! Such a good concept, and such powerful scenes, loving every minuet of them, going to get the 3rd one on tonight: P

and as for car boots...its been a while, allot of the organizers don’t put car boots on through the winter months, but I went to one this morning, was a good 45 minuet walk to get to it (taking my driving test January 20th so this should not be a problem as of then) but managed to grab a few things I will be showing on here in the coming weeks...anyone for a nice Rambo figure knock off review? Coming soon! Watch this space....

END GAME VIDEO...

Just before we start...gotta show this pic of me at the Don’t Flop rap battles right before my debut and first victory!



Early 2009 I recorded a track as a tribute to Joe D'Amato's EPIC post apocalyptic masterpiece ENDGAME, being one of my favorite films, and being a huge fan of the soundtrack, I had my mate remix the soundtrack into a grime beat and wrote a track to it explaining the story of the film thru lyrics
Well...its now late 09 and having waited so long for the track to be mastered I decided to master it my self, and cut a quick video on movie maker using the movies clips to help tell the story.
I have improved allot since this was recorded, and usually wouldnt want anything heard that I think I could now do better, but i will make an exeption for this one, I still like it :P
So here it is...Psychosis Holochaust 'ENDGAME'

you can download the track here @...

TOXIC DROP DEAD RAPTOR T.SHIRT...

Found this today, only one in the shop and was on a manikin so got a nice bit of discount on it because it wasn’t on the hanger, but absolutely love it!
not much to say about it apart from as far as I know its a Sheffield based clothing brand called 'drop dead' I don’t know anything else about it apart from i loved the design, combining 2 of my five things, toxic colors and dinosaurs (and loving the Jurassic park style logo) feeling my purple apparel at the minuet!




Check out the Drop Dead Website for more cool clothes...

BACK FROM BRIGHTON...

So i Spent the past 2 days down at Brighton Beach for the Don't Flop rap battles 'www.dontflop.com' and had an amazing time, won my battle (I now have a 2 wins 0 losses ratio so feeling good about that!)
Anyway...battle rapping aside I need to firstly say how amazing Brighton is for toxic shopping...when I went to Brighton in June I did not get a chance to check any of the shops there, but that was different this time, as I found the best row of shops ever!
I Managed to grab these amazing Osiris trainers (was hypnotized by them the second I laid eyes on them!

And also, this amazing transformers hoodie...

EVERY one of them had amazing toys clothes art galleries and antique shops, it seriously was the best place I have ever been too for picking up toys and clothes!
There were rows and rows of shops, full of cute vintage kitsch for the girls, and toxic robot alien destruction fighters for the boys!

I found a massive emporium FULL of 60s, 70s, and 80's toys, house wares furniture comics, Games, EVERYTHING you could ever want! Some of it was overpriced witch is why I had to turn down the vintage Ultra man and tomy dustbot I wanted, but I did manage to grab a nice 'Sectaurs' figure I needed! So wasn’t all bad news, ( in the pic he has none of his weapons...he did not have his weapons with him but I do have them stored away in my moving boxes so will get a better pick of him with his accessories at a later date :P

I also got these....I think they are the single BEST invention I have EVER seen in my whole life....seriously...

There f**king ninja star coat hooks?!?!?! They actually look like a ninja star has been thrown at the wall and you can hang your hats and coats on them, holy sh*t?!?! Why did I never know about these things before?! I bought 6 of them...they was slightly overpriced at £7.95 each but that’s how much they are on EBay and stuff so decided to just get a nice bungle of them for when I move into my new house (sent them the deposit yesterday so I am now a legal home owner! moving in next Saturday fingers crossed!!!)

Obviously I could not put them up in my hallway just yet...but could not resist screwing them into the side of the shed to show how brilliantly amazing and real they look!

So all in all Brighton was nothing but a great weekend (if you don’t count the 4 hours of no legroom we had to endure on the way down and coming back on the coach) and to top it all off, look what a very tired me found on the way home at London Victoria station….

It’s a London buss transformer, Epic! (Not a fan of the new transformers style, design, story, concept ANTYTHING) but you got to admit, this guy is holding it down!

and just very quickly on a side note…if you are a collector of transformers figures…then you seriously need to grab this book, its an unofficial Japanese collectors guide to Gen 1 figures, but its got almost every figure in there with all there weapons and accessories on full layout display, great for reference when wanting to complete a figure….
