My Mavel Collector Corps – First Appearance Avengers box arrived yesterday. But today I got a chance to unbox it. I also mentioned that I received a copy of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Blu-ray Combo Pack. I’ll be making a blog post review of that before the pack is released on Tuesday. You can already get the movie on Digital but if you have a 4K TV then you can get a pretty awesome pack that is 4K. I know that James Gunn really lobbied for that.
As far as the Marvel Collector Corps I enjoyed this box but thought that it should have at least had a comic inside. I think the exclusive comics are great and they give Marvel a way to introduce fans to new comic series. I think it would have made sense to have a comic like 1,000,000 B.C. Avengers. That would have made a lot of sense to go with the theme. I guess it makes sense in my mind at least. The box was a decent one and I have a whole unboxing video below.
We received a package of new Voltron Metal Defender series toys from Playmates Toys to play with and review. These are my opinions alone.
I have to admit, I was walking the aisle of Target and saw that there were these new Metal Defender Voltron lions out for sale. These were diecast metal lions that combine to for Voltron. I saw that there was a set with all five of the lions together and so I asked my contact at Playmates Toys if I could get one to review. I did not get that one, instead I got a box that had all five individual lions in separate boxes. This was perfect! I was super excited wen I got home and they were there. These were the Voltron Toys I’d been waiting to see made. These lions work together to form an 8 inch Voltron. You can see how they all go together in my video below and then I have some photos of each lion and Voltron below.
