Blokees appear to be the talk of toy town at the moment, they have been popping up everywhere and they seem to be gaining more and more licenses (Marvel, DC, Star Wars) but it was their smaller Transformers kits that got my attention.

REVIEW: JOYTOY TMNT
I love being a turtle (collector)! That’s probably why I broke my usual rule of sticking to 1:12 scale figures and dove shell-first into these 1:18 scale offerings from JoyToy. This review’s a bit different from my usual format — rather than spotlighting one or two figures, I’m showcasing a broader selection from the JoyToyContinue reading “REVIEW: JOYTOY TMNT”

REVIEW: TMNT X Transformers Party Wallop
Two of my favourite childhood TV shows have been mashed together for an interesting toy project (cash in?). That’s right, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meets Transformers in this Hasbro toy. Party Wallop is one of the crossover figures being released celebrating 40 years of Transformers. From the Manufacturer: TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES X TRANSFORMERS COLLABORATIVE:Continue reading “REVIEW: TMNT X Transformers Party Wallop”
