Marvel 500 Blind Bag minifigures Hasbro

I picked up a couple more of the new Marvel 500 blind bags at the weekend, let's take a look at who I got.

First up, a double of sorts

My second Ultron, but this time, the bronze/copper version instead of the blue. This is a cool little figure with some nice, but minimal, paint apps.

Second up I got a figure I wanted but...

Do I really need to point out the issues here? I understand that these are minifigures and are pretty cheap, but still. The lack of paint here is just infuriating. Why sculpt the A or feathers on Cap's head and not paint them?! Seeing as Hasbro has painted the shield, stomach, and star, surely a small amount of white for the eyes, A and feathers wouldn't have been too big an ask? I guess I understand not doing the gloves and boots, but those smaller areas would have made a massive difference - especially when you see the back of Cap.

SO BLUE. Why no paint apps Hasbro?!

I still like these little figures, but I'll only pick them up one or two at a time and I won't be too bothered if they're not in stock!

Go Figure!

The SImpson Lego Minifigures Series 2 Blind Bag

Grabbed another Simpsons minifig while I was out and about the other day and I was very happy to see this character!

Jimminy jillikers, it's Fallout Boy!

This is a fantastic little figure made all the better by the inclusion of a can of Buzz Cola. This small accessory is such a nicely made little piece, it's almost worth the price of admission alone!

Go Figure!

Halo Megabloks Bravo Series Blind Bags Minifigures

I picked up 3 blind bags of the Halo Bravo Series Megabloks minifigs, even though I think I have all of these.

So I cracked them open.

First up, a double!

NMPD Trooper with assault rifle! A pretty sweet figure for sure.

Secondly, another double!

A very cool HazOp Spartan with energy sword.

But thirdly, something I've never had before. A very cool red translucent active camo Elite Guard

The added bonus is that he comes with a UNSC Marine with assault rifle

Very happy with that bad ass red Elite!! He looks so cool!

Go Figure!

Halo MegaBloks Series 7 Blind Bag Minifigures

Out shopping today, I found a box of series 7 Halo Megabloks minifigs. I grabbed 5 bags.

In this wave, the character sheet tells us that we can get:

UNSC Spartan Mark VI (common)
Covenant Grunt (common)
Flood Combat Form (common)
Covenant Grunt (common)
Covenant Grunt Spec Ops (common)
UNSC Marine - 2 different styles, both common
Covenant Elite Zealot (common)
Covenant Elite Commando (common)
UNSC ODST (common)
UNSC Spartan CQB (rare)
UNSC Mark VI (rare)
UNSC Spartan Scout (rare)
Covenant Brute Jump Pack (rare)
UNSC Spartan EOD (rare)
UNSC Spartan Security (ultra rare)

So let's go ahead and start with the bad, which is this guy

I was delighted to pull the ultra rare UNSC Spartan Security figure. Except it came minus an arm. And when I tried to put the one arm on that I did get the joint was brittle and snapped (sadly not the first time this has happened with a Halo Megabloks figure for me).

So I was down to 4 figures instead of 5. Damn.

But on we go, and next up, I pulled 2 common figures

The covenant grunt and UNSC Marine. Both solid little figures and good for army building.

And the next 2 figures I pulled were both rare, so that was a nice surprise

The Covenant Brute Jump Pack in that nice red colour which I think is very cool, and the UNSC Spartan CQB in the dark and light grey - both great looking figures.

Disappointed in the Spartan Security fig, but happy with the other 4!

The Simpsons Lego Series 2 Blind Bag Minifigures

I am struggling to walk by these in stores now. I must get a grip on myself!! I picked up another 3 blind bags from series 2 of The Simpsons Lego minifig blind bags, and I'll be honest, I cheated with one. I felt it first to get an idea of who it was. It was very obvious as to who it was I could feel so I went ahead an bought that one as I didn't have her yet. I'm sure you can all guess who it was that I pulled out first.

Marge looks great and goes very nicely with Homer. Glad to have her in a "night out" outfit, now I need the standard Marge from series 1! Marge is dolled up with lipstick, earrings, a purse and flowers.

Next up I got

a Hans Moleman double!!

Never mind, onto number 3!

Professor Frink, Professor Frink, he makes you laugh he makes you think!

Very happy with the good professor, he's a favourite of mine for sure. I especially love his little clear plactic piece of equipment filled with a mysterious green substance!

The Simpsons Lego Series 1 Blind Bag Minifigures

So just a super quick post as I just grabbed one bag the other day and as I only have two of the series 1 minifigs at the moment I figured my chances would be ok. And thankfully, they were!

I got me a Milhouse van Houten! Excellent. He even comes with a copy of Biclops comic - us glasses wearers have got to stick together! I seem to be really be filling out Springfield Elementary what with all the kids I've got from these blind bags so far!

Lego Series 13 Blind Bag Minifigures

Over the past couple of days I've picked up 5 blind bags of Series 13 Lego minifigs. I gave the initial few I got a good few months ago to my nephew as he's a big Lego fan, so I lost the joiner, space trooper and snake charmer. So I was looking to replenish this wave for me.

So first up was:

The awesome space trooper with different face prints on each side of his head. Really glad to have him back. He has an air of Halo about him which I dig.

Secondly I pulled

Aw come on!!

OK. Third...

Another hot dog guy double.. Annoying!

Fourth must be better...

Not cool. That's another double for me - the disco diva.

So far, 1 from 4. That's an incredibly poor ratio. Let's hope for something a little better for my fifth and final bag.

Fantastic! The archaeologist! 2 things: I always wanted to be an archaeologist when I was a kid, and secondly, it's excellent to see women represented by Lego in such cool jobs!

I only need a few more to complete this wave, but I might have to go to eBay if I really want them, that way there's no chance of doubles!!

Lego The Simpsons Series 2 Blind Bag Minifigures

So I went out for a sandwich for my lunch and, as I'm incredibly weak willed, I grabbed another 2 packs of The Simpsons Lego series 2 blind bags. I was hoping my luck would continue with two new figures. I should be so lucky...

Another Martin! Didn't even bother building him, no point at all! Still a great minifigure though.

I was very happy with the second figure though:

Comic Book Guy! Really happy with this minifigure, but you know my very favourite part? The little moulded Squishee cup. I love how the lid is a small see though piece with a little straw. It looks perfect!

The sour that goes with this sweetness though? It's being reported that Harry Shearer - the voice of Ned Flanders, Kent Brockman, Principal Skinner, Mr Burns, Smithers, Lenny, Otto, Dr Hibbert among many more - is leaving The Simpsons. Personally I don't think the show will function nearly as well without him, but I guess we'll see, as no doubt the will plow on and continue making the show.

The Simpsons Lego Series 2 Blind Bags

Another 4 bags of Lego Simpsons series 2! #prayfornodoubles

Ok firstly...

Homer on date night! Woo hoo!

Secondly

Another Simpson - my favourite Simpson! Maggie and Santos L Halper! Sorry, Santa's Little Helper

Next up

Waylon Smithers! with a box with a Malibu Barbie that comes with a brand new hat!! As a toy collector I sympathise with Smithers. And hey, still no doubles. If this luck keeps up then I'll pretty much have no more luck left for this year...

Holy wow!! No doubles! Martin with his incredibly pretentious book! I love this figure, I think Smithers and Martin are my favourite so far.

Hopefully I'll be able to pick up more!

Go Figure!
