Scarlett’s Saturday Special
This week’s spotlight come from member ‘Nighthawk’. He created a custom Strato Viper back in February, but has recently updated his thread to show off the ‘removable helmet’ feature. (Maybe its the fact that I’ve got ‘Toy Story 3’ on the brain, but all I can hear is the green aliens going “OOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo” 😉 )
In all serious though, this custom is cool and reminds me of the ‘toon. Head on over and Check it out!

Video review of Jazwares A-Team movie figures!
My good friend TheMatrix8475 (and long-time toy run cohort) beat me to the punch with a video review of one of my most-anticipated toy lines of 2010: Jazwares A-Team movie figures! Featuring (now) Agent Lynch, Hannibal, Face, BA, and “Howlin’ Mad” Murdock plus one awesome GMC van, this toy line combines affordability, playability, and selection. Of course, don’t take my word for it– check out TheMatrix’s great review below. (Plus, sit through the credits! It’s not Samuel L. Jackson, but it’s close!)
The A-Team movie hits theatres on Friday and the toys can be found in stores at Target and Toys R Us. The complete 80’s series was recently released on DVD and is available at Amazon.com.
