Mega Bloks Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 2016 - Custom Dragonzord

In my first post, I wrote about my recent discovery and purchase of many of the Mega Bloks Mighty Morphin Power Ranger line. Collecting the major sets gave me the Tyrannosaurus, Tiger, and Triceratops zords, as well as the Command Center. I also bought a Megazord and created customs of the Mastodon and Pterodactyl zords. Obviously, these weren't perfect but I think they turned out pretty well considering I was only using spare parts from this line and some others I had. 

Continuing that, I challenged myself to create a Dragonzord. I purchased another Tyrannosaurus to use as the base as well as more of the extra pieces I had. Again my goal is to keep the look of the zords from the line while getting as close as I can get with what I have.


Like I said, not perfect but I like how it turned out. If I were to touch it up in the future, my focus would be on the chest plate. Here it is compared with the Tyrannosaurus.


And again with my Mastodon Custom.


The scale is nice. I wish I could get it a little bit taller to be closer to the reach of the Megazord but it also needed to be close the Tyrannosaurus.

Custom Kang the Conqueror Toy Biz Kenner Marvel Superheroes

Kang has been my favorite super villain since I got his Secret Wars action figure as a kid. Something about that striking blue mask peeking out of the ominous purple and green has always stuck with me. Growing up, I devoured every Kang story that I could. Citizen Kang always stuck out as it finally showed a Kang victorious, albeit for a moment, hiding in between our realities.  However, I have to say that my favorite incarnation of the future warlord came from Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes by Christopher Yost. I think he really nailed down the best parts of the character and gave us an arc that not only satisfied you as viewer but left you waiting for Kang's revenge.  I decided to take my Secret Wars Kang and combine him the Kenner Super Powers Lex Luthor to make a figure in scale with my Marvel Superheroes.                           Baron Strucker, Doctor Doom, and Kang Conqu...

Toy Hax Toy Stage - Castle Dungeon - Masters of the Universe Background

If you have never heard of Toy Hax, then you have been missing out on something wonderful. This site provides repro labels, mainly Transformers, but also some of the best backgrounds for action figures produced. They have many sub sections, including Masters of the Universe. Each of their designs also come in various sizes to meet your choice of figure scale or type of shelving you utilize for displays. This post will look at the large size Castle Dungeon. The Castle Dungeon is obviously intended be a section of Castle Grayskull. From left to right, there is a descending stairwell, computer console, weapons rack, and prison cell. The cell features dark red eyes in a pitch black room. The floor pieces have to be purchased separately but they are a lovely representation of the stone of Grayskull's floors. I bought these to go with my MOTUC collection that I had in my classroom but I am pleasantly surprised that the large size works alright with the vintage figure...
