Thomas Minis Blind Bag

I bought several Thomas blind bags out of curiousity because they were 50% off at Coles supermarket. I was surprised by their high quality. They are definitely collectable if you like Thomas. I have to say these mini trains look way better than the normal sized Thomas little train. The quality of the normal sized Thomas just can't compete with these Minis.

Here is a really handy, portable light box for toy photographers.

The good:

  • Include LED light strip
  • Collapsible light box
The bad:
  • The price

Character Building Series 1 Minifigures



Recently, I bought some Character Building minifigures from Reject Shop. AUD$1.00 blind bag is a bargain. I have always like the quality from Character Building series. These minifigures do not disappoint.

Minimates The Walking Dead













The Walking Dead Minimates Figures

Minimates has done great with these Walking Dead Figures. The paint job is very detailed.




Hasbro Star Wars Command Minifigures

Hasbro recently released some good fun, old school, plain colored Star Wars plastic figures. I got my hands on 2 packs containing mainly storm troopers. I like them very much. They are great for toy photography.










LEGO Minifigure Series 13

My awesome Valentines present: LEGO Minifigure Series 13.





Character Building (CB) Scooby Doo, Monsters, Minifigures

Another set of non-LEGO minifigure collection. I do like the minifigures from Character Building. 

Out of 5 stars, here is my opinion of the minifigures:

Plastic quality - 4 stars.
Character Design - 4 stars.







Mr. Flyman is too cool for school.





DIY LEGO, Minifigures, Transparent Storage Case

I keep my minifigures away from dust by keeping in recycled transparent cake case. Ferrero Rocher transparent chocolate case is the best.





Using transparent iPad case packaging to store minifigures






DK Transformer LEGO-compatible minifigures

This post features yet another set of LEGO-compatible minifigures I found on eBAY. This set is torturous to put together. The set arrived with all arm, leg, hand, head pieces disassembled. The joints are very tight. By the time I was done putting them all together my thumbs and fingers were so sore.

The quality of the plastic is alright, not overly sub-standard compared to genuine LEGO minifigures. The prints on the torso are nothing fancy.

The head pieces are not bad. Large range of weaponry is included. The guns look sophisticated.
