Candylab Toys Awesome Wood Cars Gt-10 and Plum50

At Blogger Bash NYC and #SweetSuite17 I ran into Vlad and his display of Candylab Toys Awesome Wood Cars. They truly are awesome all around. The designs are simple and yet invoke a feeling of something more. The toys are built well, designed beautifully and roll along quickly and quietly on rubber tires. I was instantly drawn to the Candylab Toys booth because of the Plum50 so when I was asked if I wanted to review the toys I knew that was the one I wanted. I asked Vlad if I could review that one and also mentioned that I liked the GT-10. It reminded me of a certain orange muscle car with the number 01. He said that he’d send me both and I was very excited about that.

I’ll be taking these toys to the Cape with me and I hope to get some fantastic shots with these cars. I did try to do a sunset shot with the cars in the image above.

Candylab Toys has a bunch of great toys. Not only are there cool muscle cars but there are also tow trucks, taxis and police cars as well as campers and station wagons. The company started on Kickstarter and they are having a brand new Kickstarter campaign right now. There are 8 days to go on the Kickstarter and they are fully funded so if you want any of these Kickstarter exclusive vehicles and you better jump on it. The Candylab Toys Kickstarter for the Woodie Redux, the Airstream, the Legend & the Ghost.

I am so excited about this. I received an email asking me if I would like to host a giveaway for a Walmart Exclusive Samurai Usagi figure with Samurai Horse, personally autographed by Stan Sakai. I was also told that I would be getting the whole set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles basic figures for “The Samurai” line. I received my package the other day and it was filled with so many great things including a Usagi comic book signed by Stan Sakai for me to keep. I was thrilled by the whole package and am excited for one of my readers to win the special prize package. So, this review/giveaway is sponsored by Playmates Toys and opinions of the toys are 100% my own.

I received two Usagi figures, one in his Samurai armor and one in his signature blue clothes. I also received all four turtles and a giant sized Usagi figure. Each of the basic figures retails for $8.99. The figures come with special weapons and Samurai Armor including a dragon face-plate for the helmet. These guys look so badass in their samurai gear. I have seen a few sneaks of the special episode that will air this Sunday and the toys look like they jumped right off the screen. The detail in each toy is spectacular. The characters can pose and fight and move really well. The new weapons look great, too.

Enter the giveaway after below the video.
