Toy Spotlight - Lego Blind Bags

So as I mentioned a few posts back I was in a Lego Store not too long ago.  I really wanted that R2 but oh well. So today I was out picking up some bins to store my soon to be taken down Christmas decorations and came across these guys....

I had heard about these blind bag mini figures but had yet to buy any. I got the last two they had hoping for Santa from series 8 and the Knight from series 7. I got neither : (
Here are the two I got -

The business man with the news paper on the left is from series 8 while the coffee shop hipster guy is from series 7.  I truthfully got each of the guys from both series that I wanted the least.Oh well. I'd like to start a mini fig collection because they are so cool. Who knows.

I'll wrap up with a few really cool mini figures I've had for a while that I just recently pulled out of my storage bin for this post. I picked them up when I was on a big Lego Indy kick after playing the game for Xbox. "They belong in a museum!" ....or at least my shelf for a while!

Henry Jones, Henry Jones Jr. (Indiana), and a custom George Lucas

The Indy Sr. and Jr. set is obviously from the motorcycle chase in "Last Crusade"

So that'll do it for this quick Lego post. I'll be sure to post pics in upcoming Nerd Nook Newbies if I do end up collecting some mini figures.

Random Toy Spotlight....Target Exclusive Winter Batman

As promised in my League of Extraordinary Bloggers Geekmas Post...here is your review of Target's Exclusive Winter Batman.

Ok so as the title says this Winter/Holiday themed Caped Crusader is available exclusively at Target stores.  He is a follow up to Target's "Halloween Batman".

 

Batman is on the 3 3/4 inch scale. His head can rotate 360 degrees, arms go up and down (no joint in the elbows) legs go up and down and bend at the knee. As far as detail goes he's really just white with I guess what is supposed to be grey camo. Must have some rough winters up in Gotham. Hope the Batmobile is front wheel drive. Anyway the only real redeeming quality this figure has, in my opinion, is originality.  It's pretty odd and unique to have a white Batman figure.

As I mentioned there was a Target Exclusive Halloween Batman which as far as I'm concerned was way cooler. 

 

I dig the fact that the bubble looks like a pumpkin and Batman has kind of a scary look going on.

So that's it for this review. Not super exciting but definitely unique.
