Happy Back to the Future Day!

Today, October 21st 2015, is the day in the future Marty and Doc traveled to in Back to the Future Part 2. And obviously they SERIOUSLY screwed up the timestream because...

...while hoverboards are a scientific fact (but not a kid's toy by Mattel...yet), flying cars are not in every garage. LAME!

Oh well. The future may not be all that the movies promised us it would be, but at least toys both past and present are still awesome!

This batch of Back to the Future toys came to me via Mason at D.I Treasures. They were released in McDonald's Happy Meals waaaaay back in the dark ages of 1992.

Here's that kid who touches himself on the train in Back to the Future 3. In a motorized bathtub. because reasons.

And here's the dog on a sparkly train. For other reasons.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go jump in my flying DeLoreon and watch Jaws 19.

Catwoman Purrrsday :: Fast Food Pussycat, Kill Kill!

Many people speculated last week that the mysterious mini Catwoman I own may have been a fast food premium. Well to my knowledge Catwoman's animated form only appeared in kid's meals at McDonalds in 1993, and this is she.

Smaller than the standard Kenner action figure and larger than the mini figurine I posted last week, (and a different sculpt than the two,) this Catwoman is actually a pretty great looking action figure from an awesome set of Happy Meal toys that also included Batman Animated characters Batman, Batgirl and The Riddler in mini action figure form.

This Catwoman originally came with a solid plastic mountain lion cast in yellow, but mine has been lost to the ages. I'll eventually find one at the flea market or something, these toys are not hard to come by and pop up on occasion to this day for cheap.

In the meantime, I still don't know where this Catwoman came from!
