HAPPY 2012!!

I say this all the time, but i really do enjoy updating this blog and always plan to keep doing it regularly, but music and work has kinda took over my life at the Minuit,
But the stuff i put on this blog often means more to me than both of those!! art, toys, day trips and other cool stuff!
anyway here is the first update of what i hope will be many for 2012...if i have one new years resolution its to not neglect my love for all things retro, buy more stuff, show it on here and possibly even start doing video reviews as-well as just photographs and writing...

First off i wanna show these, i got them from 'Pound Land' i have spoken about the stuff i get from pound land on here before, they usually just sell rubbish, but i always pop in as now and then i find something like this...

They are basically Robot Dinosaurs VS Monsters...but by the look of stuff they only made 3 characters, 2 robot dinosaurs and one mutated monkey...



The dinosaurs are pretty cool, the T.Rex has a chain saw, and a flame thrower looking gun for his arms and the Triceratops has a laser gun for his Horn...
The monkey is my favourite though, he has a spine you can pull out, and is a full on mutated zombie, straight out of resident evil, complete with spikes and exposed brain and intestines...




Next up i found some more funky looking dinosaur mutant toys...




these are classic, and seems to be an endless amount of them, I see them from time to time on Ebay and other toy blogs, and I love em, this one is my favourite...a kind of mutant cockroach armadillo..

this one also makes me laugh...a regular feature on here is dinosaurs and monkeys with mad screaming mouths...
This one wont even stand up!! I had to prop it up to take the photo, and it looks like he needs to take a piss...


I also grabbed these, I don't really know how new they are, but they are awesome, made by the guys who make Transformers Robot Heroes (one of my fave modern day toy lines) a collection of the original power rangers in small cartoon form, I haven't got them all yet but I want to get the zords too they look sick!


here are a couple other things I picked up around Christmas,
to with the stuff I had bought my sister for Christmas, i got her a tone of American sweets...to US readers these might not be much special, but you never get this kinda thing in the UK you see em in movies, but to get a hold of them is allot harder, was cool to try them out!

i also grabbed the MnM machine that was kool...

I know Halloween was MONTHS ago, but this was my STORM SHADOW outfit, I was popper proud of it, I bought a ninja suit and shoes, and made the sword holster, with 2 fake swords that looked real when I had finished the handles and stuff, the back sheath held them very sturdy and lasted the whole night and is still in perfect shape now, COMIC CON needs to be hit next! ha


And finally, I got my mum to find me this out, for some reason (i don't know why) my Grandad (RIP) saved a couple cans of pop for YEAAARS! I don't exactly know when this can of Sprite was made, but it says 'best before September 91' on the base, how long do cans of pop usually last for on their sell by date? Anyway she found me one of them out, I think there is a Cola and a fanta one too, but she hasn't got me them yet,
Anyway a few months ago me and my sister were watching videos of Crystal Pepsi on the Internet and it got me thinking about them, I am glad my mom found this out, I am a massive fan of anything retro and this old can (never opened!!) I think is really cool!

Well that is the first update of 2012,keep checking back for more updates! BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
