LEGO Disney Minifigures

LEGO Disney Minifigures were released a bit early at certain retailers such as Target and Toysrus as LEGO didn't officially release them until May 1st. If you know us by now, we really like Toy Story so it was only natural for us to try and go for Alien and Buzz Lighyear. It's kind of weird or maybe just a coincidence how both Tsum Tsum and LEGO released these 2 Toy Story characters first.

Playmates Toys' TMNT: Out of the Shadows Surprise Mini Figure Movie Series

We spotted these in stores last month as soon as a lot of the TMNT: Out of the Shadows toys and figures were being released to store by Playmates Toys. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows hit theaters June 3rd. These are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows Surprise Mini Figures by Playmates Toys. These are blind bag so you don't know which figure you'll be getting.

3DIT Character Creator Review

This is Jakks Pacific 3DIT Character Creator / 3D Molding Machine. This looked very promising and we got it at a really great price so why not try it out. After taking the plastic wrapper off the box you could smell this weird odor coming from the box. Didn't thing too much of it and just thought it just need to air out a bit. The machine comes with 4 wax sticks along with the mold to make the figures. One stick was already inside which is how they come packaged.

Batman v Superman Mystery Minis Walmart Exclusive
