Equipment: The Netflix Original Series Lost in Space Action Figure Collector’s 2 pack Featuring Will and the Robot are a Walmart Exclusive

I have found that when you see something announced online or at Toy Fair there is a chance the toy you want may never go into production.  There were some items I had seen over the years that I fell in love with and sadly they never made it past the prototype phase. It is frustrating as a fan to have that happen and I am sure it is worse for the toy company. Well regarding the Lost in Space figures the figures the wait is over…the figures are coming!

Equipment: Walmart Collector Con-G.I. Retro Collection

Growing up in the 1980’s 3 ¾ inch G.I. Joes were the norm. The return of the 12 inch Joes didn’t happen until the mid-1990’s so for many fans of G.I. Joe, the 3 ¾ size is the preferred collectible. Some of us still have figures and vehicles from the original line so these new figures fit right in with our collections.

Walmart has some exclusive 3 ¾ inch figures for kids and collectors alike. These will definitely bring back fond memories of playing in your backyard on warm summer days…or even freezing winter days (for those arctic battles).  Seeing these figures really does bring back memories of simpler times before “adulthood” took over. I guess it is time to go shopping and be a kid again…YO JOE!

Equipment: Review and Unboxing Video of Hallmark’s PopMinded Event Exclusive Collectibles for 2021

I know it sounds silly to say that Christmas ornaments have changed since we were children but they have changed. When I think of my childhood Christmas tree, I picture a tree covered in multi-colored fragile glass balls, garland, blinking lights and the occasional candy cane. Some people may have had little plastic houses or ornaments that announced, “Baby’s first Christmas” but for the most part, trees couldn’t be personalized. Thanks to Hallmark that has changed. Continue reading
