Imaginext Blind Bag 12: Big Building Robot, Clawtron
|
|
  Via MyGrodd: Imaginext Blind Bag Series 12 May Have Made an Appearance! Five new-to-you figures are on display, including Adventure People Clawtron, a building robot inspired by Big, some sort of animal mascot, a superhero/bicyclist type, and Fran.
It's assumed this is series 12 - there aren't a lot of other wacky Imaginext themeless sets coming to market, and it's not inconsistent with the previous motifs we've seen in this line. There may be a sixth figure to be revealed, or these may be something else entirely. Hail, Clawtron.

16bit.com - Now on Instagram
|
|
 Via Instagram: 16bit.com on Instagram by Adam Pawlus. Right now it's gratuitous toy photos and some shots when I'm driving around town as I get the hang of this thing. I didn't have a GameBoy Camera when I was a kid - but I did pick up a couple of them recently, and here we are.
Can you do this with a filter on your phone? Probably. But I've got GameBoys and cameras and we're doing it the hard way.

Slime Green OMFG, Mordles at MFM
|
|
  Mini Figure Militia has Oozarian Green OMFG Series 1 and Mordles figure packs and the prices ain't bad. Given inflation with indie figures, $12 for the formerly $10 series 1 of OMFG is a bargain - and $14 for 10 Mordles is no slouch either.
Both are strongly recommended if you don't already have the molds in other colors. The pictures look great!
