Amazing desk toys

Lego X-Mansion seems to be virtually assured now and to add to the excitement, a Lego Legend of Zelda set has been confirmed. The great Deku tree specifically, cool! I think I might also get the Guardians Milano set as I like the colours a little more than the Benetar. I’m also a little tempted by Lego Bumblebee, certainly more than I was Optimus Prime.

Takara’s doing a Mainframe in toy colours. Finally! I’m actually really excited, it’s got a really unique altmode, preordered straight away. Also put in preorders for Xaaron, Buzzsaw, Frenzy and Quake. The Soundwave pack is pretty annoying but there are at least two cassettes I want from it. Decided to swap the old TR Quake out, looks pretty good. My Nonnef weapons arrived for Snarl, very solid!



My 4H Cosmic Legions figure finally arrived, looks amazing. I’m going to use it as a steampunk Iron Man. Just need to try and find a suitable headsculpt for it. Morbius also arrived, looks like Eric Draven from the Crow. Speaking of crow(s), Marvel Legends Odin looks great (preordered).





Received Ki-Adi, looks really solid. Also got Zabu, Ka-Xar and Wolfsbane. I wonder if the Zabu body could be reused for Lockjaw? Obviously will need a Shanna now. Wolfsbane is the final X-Men figure I need, great to complete X-Factor though didn’t quite have the energy to get all the figures out for a group photo.





Put in a cheeky order for a few 3.75” bits from Bossfight, I’ve got a few more customs planned now I’ve decided to collect heroes in 6” and villains in 3.75”. (Think will pass on Marvel Legends Dracula.) Also had a Dogpool and Ecto-1 arrive. Pretty impressed with Ecto-1, at a time when I’m trying to reduce the volume of things I own it’s a bit indulgent but it is like a grown up version of the old real Ghostbusters toy. Just need some Ghostbusters to go in it, these guys might do though…..




They’re absolutely amazing desk toys, I wasn’t sure about them but they are perfect. Great fun!
