Not too old but gone from most stores! The Mattel Turtles of Grayskull Masters of the Universe x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Beast Man Action Figure looks like a basic Beast Man with some added armor, a different whip, and both hands able to grip. It's neat! It's not essential, but at least it's fun and looks like a decent riff on the original toy. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

But he's done a lot more, and I'm sad I didn't know his name until today. Check out his Flickr page for some of his other sci-fi pieces. It's incredible stuff.

He died April 20, 2025.

Who's ready for lunch? The Mattel Hot Wheels Street Wiener was a car design that has been around for a few years, in many similar-but-different colorways. This one has a base that looks sort of like a paper tray, with wheels that look sort of like toppings, and I assume zero dollars needing to be paid to the Wienermobile people. It's really neat, and new versions of it are still shipping cheaply at a store near you. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Old! Hasbro Transformers Legacy Evolution Voyager Animated Universe Motormaster Action Figure came out last year, and is another in an ongoing series of toys that are lower-price updates (or substitutes) of old BotCon exclusives. I sure don't miss BotCon price points - $35 for this boxy-headed fellow felt plenty fair. Read on!

This week:
Mushzoom 3 (Super Mario Bros. 3) - in which you do mushrooms.

Seek & Destroy (Kid Icarus) - in which you snake, rattle, and roll.

Fireball Rush (Kirby's Adventure) - in which you fly.

Bonus or Bust (Ice Climber) - in which you jump up into the ice.

Divemaster (Super Mario Bros: Lost Levels) - in which you sink and/or swim.

I had no problem getting the silver trophy, but that gold is challenging so far.

Posted 10 years ago! The Funko Hikari Vinyl Ghostbusters Pink Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was a clear glitter figure, exclusive to Entertainment Earth, and painted like it was being burned. I liked these guys a bunch - the whole line was a little expensive for Funko fans, and they more or less ignored it. It's a shame, the colorways are really cool and I bet would have done well as $10-$20 standard 4-inch guys. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

New! The Super7 Micronauts Baron Karza ReAction+ Figure is not the towering giant from Mego or Palisades. Rather, it's the same size and general vibe you got from Cobra Commander in the early 1980s. He has no hand held weapon, but there is a backpack accessory. The sculpt is good, the feel is nice, and he blends in well with some of my other retro space figures. I'd say give it a look. It doesn't seem like Micronauts is going to be an extensive line, so at least you won't have to worry about devoting a ton of space to it. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

I hope it's good. Honestly, I'm really just buying it for Salamander III but I'm sure the international variants of the other games might be fun to fuss with, too.

It'll also be sold as a download, but I love a cartridge. Pre-sales end May 11.

A pee joke! The Mattel Hot Wheels Gotta Go gives you a toilet-themed car with faucets and toilet paper elements, which is about as fun as you're going to have with a toy car today. The lid even opens. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

New! Hasbro Transformers Studio Series 86 Voyager Constructicon Scrapper Action Figure is possibly in a store near you, or shipping from an online pre-order. It's a very robust Deluxe-sized robot, but it's a Voyager. Such is life. But at least it's really, really cool and I think has most of what you would want out of a Scraper minus the big wing that comes in another set. You'll want this one. Read on!

This week:
Power Grab: Morph Ball (Metroid) - in which you get some balls. One. Just one.

Cool It (Excitebike) - in which you just say yes to track.

Hit the Bricks (Super Mario Bros) - in which you do what it says.

1-1 of a Kind (Super Mario Bros. 3) - in which you run through that first level.

Whale of a Time (Super Mario Bros. 2) - in which you shave a few seconds off the whales.

I had an easy time with the silver but am still struggling with gold. I blame my never getting a good handle on 1-1 in Mario 3.
