Babies of specifically the Doodle Squad Cast. Er, the Cooking with Sun AU cast. .... I think of them as the Doodle Squad in my head XD

Back on my Hong Kong toy bullshit! This is Warriors of the Galaxy (1983), the big box play set from Marty Toy. There is a version of this box without the electronic soundboard, which seems to have come out around the same time. There were also smaller sets in blister packs on cards, some just with dudes, some with dudes and a vehicle (“dude” is the term of art my son applies to these sorts of plastic entities, be they men, women or creatures). Marty Toy seems to have been less a real company and more a marketing shell; it pretty much vanishes right after these toys hit this market. They live on under a number of names, mostly from Hong Kong, mostly in increasingly lower quality copies — Galaxy Knights, Superteam of the Universe, Demons & Wizards. The handful of figures I previously posted appear to have been made in Mexico. They don’t, to my knowledge, have any connection to Sungold’s 1987 Masters of the Universe knock-offs, Galaxy Warriors.

Anyway, this play set is pretty great, exactly the sort of thing I would have lost my mind over as a kid (and it honestly hurt me a little to tell my son he couldn’t play with these because they are relatively rare). There is so much to love! Two factions, Golden Heroes (zzz) and Galactic Demons (yea!), both of which are designed to hold brightly colored plastic weapons (which so far are still on the sprues in my set). Because of this, the little guys look like they are dancing when they aren’t holding anything, which I find endlessly charming. The vehicles, a sci-fi tank and a flying saucer, are little blow-molded delights that have holes where radar dishes and guns can get mounted. There are also little missiles on stands so you can put them on the battlefield as they fly to toward their targets.

New trailer recently dropped for a TMNT MM short "Chrome Alone 2: Lost in New Jersey" in which they see a commercial for "Tubular Tortoise Karate Warriors" action figures.

Totally tubular!

Anywho, TheAdultNerd (IG) is over at NYCC and took these photos at the Playmates exhibit:

omg i need them so badly

It seems they'll be released as both a 2-pk and single figures.

Hooray for options!

No idea how much these will be retailing for but I'm hoping I get to see them in person even if I don't get to buy them.
