Galoob Star Trek The Movies Micro Machines Review



I've been wanting to move some Star Trek ships around a table in a mock battle, you may even call it a wargame. My problem is that I have all the Star Trek counters I'll ever need from the assorted Federation Commander sets I've bought over the years and while using counters is just fine I like to play with a little more pizzazz, I like to play with miniatures.

Mega Construx Pro Builders Prince Adam Action Figure From Masters Of The Universe Review

The Prince is looking a little goofy!

Up next in Wave 1 of Mega Construx Pro Builders line of toys from the Masters of the Universe line is Prince Adam. Prince Adam, the alter ego of He-Man, is the son and heir of King Randor and Queen Marlena. It is hard to find information out on these today but I believe Prince Adam was first released in Wave 1 of the Pro Builders line and not originally released in a wave of the Mega Construx Heroes original line of toys.

FASA Star Trek Starship Tactical Combat Simulator


As I've mentioned in numerous posts (Captain Terrell, Regula One, Reliant Crew, Enterprise Crew)  that I always liked and coveted the FASA Star Trek movie starship miniatures but what fun are wargaming miniatures without a wargame to play with them. I finally decided I needed to pick up a copy of this game so I did.

Star Trek II The Wrath Of Khan Captain Terrell 25mm Miniature by Fasa


I've always loved the film Star Trek 2 The Wrath Of Khan and always was intrigued by the miniature ships that were released by Fasa as part of this line. I didn't know at the time that there was also a pen and paper RPG that also had miniatures made for the movie. I've been collecting these guys over the years, they aren't too expensive (the people, not the ships) but some can be hard to find including Captain Terrell.

Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TMNT Michelangelo Review


Today I bring you my review of the Michelangelo action figure from the Playmates Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy line. I mentioned in my Donatello review that I didn't like the design from the Rise cartoon or the associated toy line and that I may get the rest of the turtles but not much else. Well about a month after my Donatello review I was at Five Below with my wife and they had Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael for sale at five dollars each. It was almost fate, the three turtles I needed at a price I was willing to pay so here we are.
