Freddy and Jason Mez-Itz

noreply@blogger.com (Toy Overlord) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:09:00 +0000

Freddy and Jason have made they're way into modern vinyl form as Mez-Itz! We recently picked the duo up this week and love em'! The only thing we didn't like was Freddy's hat, which is made out of cheap, flimsy plastic with a crappy spray painted brown color job. Not sure why Mezco skimped on that accessory but overall they're awesome! Click here to read more.

Halo Multi-Kill Medals Success!

noreply@blogger.com (Toy Overlord) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:26:00 +0000

Finally I (Toyoverlord) have gotten all the Multi-Kill medals in Halo: ODST Firefight! It took a bit longer then expected, but I'm happy with the results.

Halo Points

noreply@blogger.com (Toy Overlord) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 21:16:00 +0000

Halo figures have redeemable points on their boxes that you can trade in for great stuff at Spawn.com When you buy a Halo toy check by the bar code to see how many points you earned on the purchase.

Our goal is to nab the Halo 3 Lithograph which is by far the easiest to get at only 100 halo points. You can read all about this at Spawn.com!

Gears Of War Batsu Figures By Neca

noreply@blogger.com (Toy Overlord) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 19:52:00 +0000

Today we were out searching around at TRU and managed to find some great figures to add to the collection, which are pictured above! It's series 1 of the Batsu Gears of War line. At first glance they look odd because the body style is very exaggerated and different from most figures. But we are big fans of modern vinyl toys and odd styles, so they fit right in.

Series 1 comes with Marcus Fenix, Dominic Santiago and a Locust Grenadier.
