FOOTSKI...

Another one of my favourite genres of all time is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, especially the original cartoon ect,
I am an avid collector of the cartoons figures,
I have many of the figures, Baxter Stockman, Rat King ect...trying to get them with all there original accessories however can be an almighty struggle, I am not doing bad, most of the figures I have are either complete, or are missing a minor detail...or I will have most of the weapons for a figure...just not the figure itself...that said it is defiantly satisfying picking up the loose figure and being able to put all the parts with it I have collected over the years...
Anyway, I had a loose Footski for quiet some time, until last Sunday I picked up a huge box of 90s Power rangers 9including a 100% Percent complete dragon zord and Megazord, woop woop! also, in the bottom were tones of pieces for ninja turtles and toxic crusaders, which made me a happy man, it had stuff like baxter stockmans fly swatter and rat kings belt (all which I needed desperately) it also had toxie's belt from toxic crusaders which I have been after for a long time, as well as lots of other pieces i needed to complete various playmates figures...
I did also fish out of there the remaining pieces I needed for my TMNT Foot Clan's footski...so here it is (unfortunately did not have the front red missile...doubt I will ever find it, cant seem to find a clear enough picture of it online anywhere for source material...even so, here is my 99% complete Footski with Triceraton at the main controls!




I love the Mouth in the front of the vehicle and the snakes that seem to be keeping it afloat! (This vehicle was actually designed to go in the bath!) It makes no sense as to why these things would be part of the vehicle. I mean, how would they be alive?
But it doesn’t matter, kids didn’t care, they just wanted something that looked messed up and Toxic! As long as it was bright colours and fired missiles, we didn’t care!
this type of thing is just so typical of Ninja Turtles, and most playmates figures released around that time for that matter, especially TMNT and Toxic Crusaders, everything seemed to have loads of boils growing on the skin, and worms, snakes and squids wriggling though the vehicles and stuff,




It really takes me back talking about these toys, Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters were and will always be so close to my heart, no matter how sad it sounds, its true, if it wasn’t for this stuff brightening up my childhood I would not be the person I am today, and I love the person I am today, so it all seems very fitting for me to still cherish the memories I had growing up playing with these toys…
Anyway, that’s enough nostalgic talk from me, hope you are enjoying what I have been doing with this blog, not going through the best time in my life at the minuet, and as daft as it sounds, these old Sega games and action figures really brighten my days when I am not feeling my best,
I had a lot of fun growing up, and this stuff still makes me happy 21 years on, always seems like its there to provide what can be a really shit world with some harmless fun, even if it is mutant triceratops men and vintage robots…

WIERD MONSTER DINOSAUR UPDATE...

Not so much an update...but I did pick up another one today...Were do these guys come from?! lolll



As you will be able to see, this one is green, and is similar to the Peach Coloured Winged Dragon I posted up when the blog was first started,
Anyway There he is...i am shure more will follow at somepoint...

RETRO ROBOTS...

One of my all time favourite things are Vintage robots,
well, today I found this amazing one at the Car boot!!



He came boxed, with all his missiles in a small plastic bag, complete and mint!



I love the black and yellow with the red eyes…
The box is awesome too, some people don’t really get too fussed about the boxes, but I think they finish of the figure displayed nicely if you are fortunate enough to have the box that your robot came in…



Well…I knew I was instantly wanting to put this guy up on here…but then I thought I would let you guys see some of my other robots too.....


















I do have more, but these are the pride of my collection, but I am always looking to expand the cyber city… so more please!

SEGA UPDATE...

As you will know I have been rinsing the Sega master system/Genesis for the past couple of weeks, and picked up a tone of new games of the carboot and EBay, check what I got....



Cant really be doing with going into reviewing them all, as it would just take too much of my time, and stuff like reviewing games is done so well over at www.cinemassacre.com that I don’t think I have any right to tread on that ground,
But I did get this game today!




Ask anyone who knows me...Toxic Crusaders is one of my favorite franchises off all time, created by Lloyd Kauffman in the early 90's as a Children’s version of his soft porn exploitation 'the toxic avenger' (only god knows were films that are as extreme as toxic avenger become the foundations of a Saturday morning children’s cartoon) but it did, and in my opinion is one of the best designs for a cartoon ever (I have a tone of toxic crusaders figures and memorabilia, will hopefully get a post with it all in up at some point)




Anyway, there was no hesitation and soon as I got in from work I stuck the cartridge in the Sega and let rip on some radiation rangers!
...Died on level 3, kept falling in the water...
Oh well...great game, and even if it wasn’t who cares, its toxic crusaders!!

Also, got mega games 2 with Streets of rage and Shinobi!!!...already had golden axe so not as hyped about that, but a great set of games, me and my sister spent a good hour and got onto the last level...god I love streets of rage...



And finally... I thought this picture was quite funny...i am actually moving into a new house in the next few weeks, so I have been boxing all my toys up, this is like 1% of the collection I own, but I think it looks quite funny, all in sterile transparent boxes lol

VR TROOPER STUFF...

So this came through today...

Love this game, but not very often seen! I take it that it wasn’t a popular game or something who knows...anyway, I love it, and am also a massive fan of V.R Troopers, another 90s Saban Toei stock footage kids show...



Had a little blast earlier (working full time is mega flip sided...on the shit side...you get like 3 hours if that to your self a day...on the good side you get money to buy lots of toxic figures)
So using the small amount of time I had to take these pics and write this blog, I had a quick blast on the game and got onto the second level, I beat Tankotron, and got onto battling Decimator but he beat me straight away...
Anyway...great game, great beat em up, and being a big fan of VR Troopers a nice addition to my collection...





Also...thought I would upload pictures of this rare Battle Grid Ryan Steele I got shipped over from America! One of the prizes of my collection without a doubt!

SEGA MEGA DRIVE BLAZE...

Bought this the other day from HMV and OH my days! it was worth every penny...
I have wanted to pick up a megadrvie for ages now. but with the original console being over 2 decades old, I would be expecting one I bought from a car boot to pack in after a month or so...
i opted for the less cheap yet allot more reliable version, the Sega Mega Drive Blaze, I seriously cannot understand why every bloke hasn’t got one of these in there house...foreal its that good..



The blaze already comes with 16 games built in including some major classics such as Golden Axe, Sonic and Knuckles, Altered Beast and Shadow Dancer...sadly no streets of rage though, have to wait till I see that at car boot...(this actually really annoys me cause EVERYONE considers Streets of rage to be one of…if not THE BEST Sega Mega drive game ever, so why is it such a taboo subject to include it in this package? It was the same with the PSP UMD game they released, the Sega mega drive classics…great selection of games…yet still no streets of rage!)

The beauty with this machine is that you can actually play the old games on the new console, so just pick them up off eBay, car boots or markets and get playing! so far i have collected...



The Joy Pad is real nice too, I was a bit concerned that with it not being the exact same as the original it would make playing feel less Nostalgic, but no...its fine, and no delay on the buttons...



I have always welcomed with open arms any type of console/hack/ROM that enables you to play your favorite retro games, in my opinion, classic Side scrollers, beat em ups ect… just have an amazing charm that cannot in any way be captured in 3d rendered graphics…I am so glad there are still people around who care enough to make these consoles and give us the games we grew up with.
Anyway, here it is set up in my room, Hours of fun :)

RANDOM CARBOOT FINDS PART 2

Found these today....

This ghost buster’s plaster cast maker is Awesome! and never even been opened! brappp!



And this guy...

Not usually a fan of Plush figures, but could not resist this creature from the black lagoon...look forward to driving around with him in the passenger seat when I get my car...however, he can just live on my bed for Now

ROBOT HEROES...

Thought u would just upload my Robot Heroes Collection, its grown like mad over the past months, there is still a few I need, but I am sure i will get them at some point,
I am a big fan of there look though, stumpy Anime/Graffiti stylized versions of all the original Gen 1 TF and the Beast Wars bots too!

Juken Sentai Gekiranger!!!!!

Really liked the look of these guys...to the untrained eye they would just look like 'power rangers' but naaa your wrong...there Juken Sentai Gekiranger!!
Really liked the figures, but they was always like £6-£8 pound, and I wasn’t paying that...not when I know I would get them of the car boot in a few months for 3% of the price...But I got tipped off TJ Hughes still had a toy department, so thought I would go check it out...Too my joy I found they were clearing these guys out and was under half the price sold everywhere else...
So i grabbed all they had apart from the Bad Guy (i will get him next time...was only wanting the rangers that day)
anyway, I really like them and think there all individually nice pieces to display. Check them out!








Got these Mahou Sentai Magiranger (mystic force)at the car boot a few weeks before, was very happy to find the full set!
Didnt all have there weapons, but most of em had the Morphers and they can be the hardest thing to find



More Sentai and Kamen/Masked rider updates coming soon, got so much stuff to show you people!
Keep checking back! :P
