REPULSOR POWER WAR MACHINE

[IRON MAN: THE ARMORED AVENGER]

This is the 10" Repulsor Power War Machine by Hasbro, not the Hot Toys version. When you press the button at the middle of the chest, only the chest lights up in glowing pink. At the same time, War Machine also utters a couple of battle quotes.

War Machine stands very steadily, which is actually one of the major issue here. He has very limited articulation.

Here's a close up of the upper body.

Let's have a look at putting on some additional firepower. You can clip on the shoulder gatling gun & mini rocket launchers onto each side of the shoulder. The ammunition for the gatling gun connects to the back of War Machine. Both weapons can be moved around.

In addition, this set also comes with two huge artillery weapons that can be hooked up onto each of the arms. Both these arm weapons can fire a small plastic projectile. In this mode, War Machine looks like he really is overloaded with weapons.

This is how War Machine looks like standing back to back with Repulsor Power Iron Man Mk. VI as the take out a huge force of enemies surrounding them.

GALVATRON BUST

The third bust that i acquired from Diamond Select is this Galvatron bust. Like the previous two busts, they all stand at about 6 inches tall.

Galvatron only comes in two parts. The main body & the right arm. This bust shows Galvatron resting on Unicron as a base.

As you can see, views from other angles.

The item number for this bust is #145, out of 1000 units produced worldwide. A certificate is also included in the box. It's a little difficult to find other Diamond Select busts at a good price these days as they are becoming quite rare.

TOY HAUL

About two weeks ago there was a sale organized by one of the local toy stores called Famitoy. I've been patronizing this shop for a couple of years but in the past six years, I never had the chance to attend the annual sale.

This year around, yet again I nearly missed the sale if it were not held in the course of two days. I only found out about the sale on Saturday night and I made it a point to visit the store first thing on Sunday morning.

Having said so, look what I managed to pick up!

I needed a big Hasbro box to carry my haul home.

Here's a closer look at what I managed to pick up a few weeks back. How much do you think all these cost me? Just under USD 250! I think it's a great bargain. The funniest thing about this haul is that the Korean Vector Prime cost me just under USD 3.5.

I can't wait for the next time I go on a massive hunt again! Stay tuned.

MUMM-RA

Here's Mumm-Ra looking skinny & scrawny. He doesn't look intimidating in any way at all. With only five points of articulation don't expect much from this figure.

In the cartoon, Mumm-Ra is the main nemesis of the ThunderCats.

Upon further inspection, this toy is starting to look more interesting. Mumm-Ra comes with a removable cloak, his own claw shield & the Sword of Plun-Darr.

In the new cartoon series, Mumm-Ra is hunting for a couple of magical stones around the galaxy known as the Four Power Stones. These stones are stored on the claw shield and gives Mumm-Ra intense power to defeat any adversary he faces.

Similar to Lion-O's claw shield, the Sword of Plun-Darr can be kept in the shield. Take a closer look & you'll see that the sword has a small grove. I wonder what it attaches onto because both of Mumm-Ra's hands certainly do not have any grove.

Mumm-Ra with the claw shield.

Wielding both the claw shield & the Sword of Plun-Darr. He's starting to look a little more intimidating.

Here's Mumm-Ra with his red cloak. The material is made of soft plastic & can be flexed around. However, the shape of the cloak is still intact & doesn't change.

With the claw shield.

Overall, a slight twist to the original story & we no longer see Mumm-Ra's pet puppy Ma-Mutt.

Lastly, a comparison between the normal & fully transformed Mumm-Ra the ever living!
