There seems to be an intense debate in the Master of the Universe Matty Forum … 🙂 Thanks for the heads up (I think), “NASCARBronco.”

At first, it seemed the new Smoke Jumper Pitty’s were too small to be included in the regular singles lineup (CARS Pitty’s generally either came with accessories or were doubled up) but thanks to “Mack Me Bucko,” we can see they are new generation of Pitty’s like Muggsy Liftsome, Pitty in name only. Kind of […]

LEGO OliverSeon Build Group wanted a NYC to go with the new Ghostbusters Ecto-1. You can check out more photos at Gizmodo. Look closely to spot the Simpsons House. That would be an interesting fight – Homer versus a giant marshmallow. 🙂

Mattel’s Planes Fire & Rescue Deluxe Windlifter is super nice. Great detailing. Windlifter is more complicated where it’s diecast metal and where it’s plastic. His face and the top half of the back tail area are diecast metal – there are plastic portions in and out within – in either case, it’s not a huge […]

In the nicest upgrade, the “oversized” Deluxe PLANES of Planes: Fire & Rescue are not only better sized but have moving features! Blade Ranger. Most of Blade is diecast metal – everything above the white cab portion and below the rotor blades is diecast metal. The left door is diecast metal but does not open. […]

Thanks for the great pics “John H.” The Disney Store Ryker is extra nice with the moving nozzle. John notes you might want to be a little careful – kids might snap this sucker off … 🙂 Plus (synthetic) rubber tires! Nice details. Solid diecast metal. Comparison with Disney Store Red.   Nice! Size & […]

“John H.” sends us a nice preview of Disney Store’s “Dipper.” Dipper looks a little small but we won’t know for certain until the movie comes out. She is heayweight diecast metal. I think these are hydrofoils?  They are actually taped on. A little odd – presumably these are plastic? Looks nice – here’s Pontoon […]
