burger king us - prehistoric pets

Prehistoric Pets is the current toys from Burger King's Kids Meal. This set of toys consist of prehistoric creature commonly dinosaurs.

I really like dinosaurs, so this set is really a must have for me. The set includes the following:

Xtractaurs Hybrid - it's like a build your own dino thing. There are dinosaur part that you could snap in together.
Squirtin' Screature - this dinosaur figure is a also a water squirter. The design is good.
Runnin' Cruncher - is a pull back toy. The design of this dinosaur is very mean looking. My favorite from the set.
Strollin' D-Rex - is a wind-up toy. It walks when you wind-up his motors. The figure looks nice, it would ne nicer if they include hand movements.

tranformers collector's club exclusive g2 ramjet

Here is the 2011 Transformers Collector's Club Exclusive G2 Ramjet. First announced at the 2010 BotCon set, TCC finally revealed the Ramjet color scheme. First impression was, "okay, so this is the exclusive Ramjet... hmm... maybe it's better in person than the pictures"
Ramjet doesn't know how he was exposed to Forestonite but he's definitely grateful for the tougher skin that he's grown in alternate mode. Now when he catches any hot shot pilot, human or Autobot, in his territory amongst the clouds, he has the capability of truly putting that pilot in a jam! Instead of locking on with his weapons, Ramjet engages his afterburners knowing that one strike from his strengthened nose cone will leave all of his adversaries toast!
G2 Ramjet is a Deluxe sized figure featured in the Wings Universe and is part of the Generation 2: Redux cast. G2 Ramjet utilizes the extremely popular Classics seeker mold. The toy is packed in a convention style box with a foam insert for easy removal and display.

bootleg ultrasaurus red at yahoo japan

Ultrasaurus Red is one of the legend Zoids. I was not aware of its existence since I stumble to Sir Lionel’s site. All the details regarding this legend Zoids are carefully documented by Sir Lionel. All the possible sightings and false sightings are in his website. It’s been how many years since the hunt for this Zoids, and I really hope that someday he will find this extraordinary and legendary Zoids.

I wrote this article because of this bootleg found in Yahoo Japan. Surely it’s not the legendary red, but it reminds me of sir Lionel’s quest for the red one. Starting at 15,800 yen, you can own this piece.

transformers generation lugnut and strafe

Finally here are two new figures from Transformers Generation. I can not say that these two are really new since Strafe is the third re-color of the original mold Mindwipe. Lugnut looks great in his plane and robot form.

Lugnut in plane mode
I really like the plane mode of Lugnut a real huge NU-7 Bomber plane. The details in his cockpit and the painted shark mouth in it head. The color scheme is very militaristic. Looking closely, you will not think that this is a Transformers toy. The designer was able to hide all robot mode in this NU-7 bomber.

Lugnut in robot mode
Here is Lugnut in robot form, somehow it looks very similar as the Lugnut animated version. The body frame looks a little bit skinny but still, overall the robot version looks good.

Strafe in plane mode
Here is Strafe in his plane mode, a recolored version of Mindwipe. The color scheme really reminds me of Hasbro's Zoids Jet Falcon. I'm not that impress with this color scheme.

Strafe in robot mode
Here Strafe in his robot mode, as the previous versions there are no new addition for this figure except for it's new color scheme. In robot mode, it look nice, I like the two transparent daggers.

Both figures are voyager class, so let's expect that it will cost around 1,700 Php when it hits retail.
