More Dino Dudes.
The Dino Dudes were made by Crazy Bricks. They were a Kickstarter campaign from last year. They will be in the Crazy bricks store once the Kickstarter orders are filled. They have a few fully painted versions there now but the were other options for the Kickstarter. Including single color accessory packs which have all the dinosaur suits just with out the extra printing. I got the accessory and will post it soon but these figs were too cool to wait.
Below is the fossil version of the Triceratops.


Uh-oh bad Valentines dates.

Sauron Marvel Legends Build a Figure Review
Last fall I bought a 1990’s ToyBiz Sauron figure at a comic convention. It was a cool figure, and I thought it would be great for photography. The guy at the booth said they were coming out with a Sauron Build A Figure series. How many times have a bought a loose figure only to have a new version come out soon afterwards? Well there was Toy Biz Sasquatch I got then shortly later the Sasquatch build a figure, was announced, I bought a loose Leonardo mini-fig and literally the next day the Karai Bike Escape Building Set (79118) with Leonardo set was announced. I’ve bought custom Captain Marvel and Storm(1)(2) LEGO mini figs only to have official versions released later. So it happens, just part of being a collector.
Here’s the ToyBiz 1990s Sauron figure. You may have seen him on the blog earlier. He’s nicely sculpted, but there’s not a lot of paint, His jaw opens and there’s articulation at arms and legs. Cool figure but a little hard to stand. I tried to several times to get a good shot of him standing overhead. The image is not as intimidating as I envisioned.
I looked up the Sauron build a figure and it looked awesome. But I really didn’t have that much interest in the figures from the series. I already had a Deadpool. Lady Deadpool was neat. Wolverine and Bishop are cool looking figs the but not worth $20 a pop to me. Sauron was cool but not $120.00 cool.
A few months pass and the post-Christmas sales start. I see the Lady Deadpool at a decent price online. Which led me to to start checking online and offline for other deals. I didn’t find any figures on sale, but there’s always the secondary market. Some people part out the sets. I won a few auctions and started collecting the parts. I gave in and got Deadpool in boxers figure and rounded off the set with a couple more eBay purchases.
Finally, I have Sauron. He is massive. This figure is amazing. The sculpt is detailed. There are scales on the torso, veins in his arms and neck. The head is large with a movable jaw, pointed teeth, and nasty red eyes. Sauron has huge freaking wings. They are segmented so parts can move as the arms move.
The paint job is well done with great hues of green and yellow on the torso and wings. The leathery textured wings have some slits in them that give it a more realistic appearance. The loin cloth is sculpted to show motion. Blue pouches give a visual pop to his belt. There’s not a lot of paint to the legs, arms, or tail but they do have sculpted scales.
You can move his legs, turn his feet, bend knees but this isn’t a figure you would crouch. It is tall and has a wide wing span. There’s articulation at his head, neck and jaw, shoulders, and elbows. His hands rotate. The tail is great to balance him standing but I need some of those action figure stands so I can pose him flying.
Now that’s an intimidating Sauron.
This is only the second BAF I have collected. The other was Dormammu which I got cause I liked the series and got many of the figures super cheap at Target post-Christmas. Then finished it with parts via E-bay. You can see Dormammu on this post.
What do you think?
Do you collect any Build a Figures? Would you read more toy reviews? Who has the best stands for posing figures?

Dining with Deadpool!
This is the Valentine’s Day Dinner set #40120. The set was sold at the LEGO store and shop.LEGO earlier this year. But I found this one at ROSS for $7.99. It’s a nice little vignette. It included two minifigs and a brick built gift box to hide a gold ring. It also had some of the cool profile 1×2 bricks, that have an alternating grooves that look like bricks on one side. I like these quick build sets. I’ll be watching for more of these small holiday vignettes. I missed out on the Easter one.
LEGO Specials
Ross also has a few the LEGO movies sets I saw the Ice Cream Machine (70804) and Bad Cop’s Pursuit. They were 19.99 or $24.99.
Toys R Us has LEGO minifigures two for $5.
The Mythical Unicorn
Since the Unicorn Girl minifig was announced, I wanted to do some kind Despicable Me “It’s so Fluffy” joke. Deadpool likes my little pony, so surely he likes fluffy unicorns.
The Snake Charmer.
I found some series 13 minifigures today. I knew exactly with whom to pair the snake charmer. The LEGO Snake Charmer meets his greatest challenge.
