The full range of Z-Bots figures, vehicles, and play sets can be quote daunting for a Z-Bots collector. There don't seem to be many Z-Bots fans.  It was a weird toy series, especially being under Galoobs Mirco Machines banner.  Luckily, I am not a completionist, and while I may be envious of those with super rare series 4 figures and hard to find play sets, I am quite happy with my collection.  Here it is!


Not even close to a complete collection, but still an impressive little army.  Gathering them all together for one group shot was no east task, and I can see I missed a few.  If you want to see some closeups of my collection check out the Z-Bots & Voids page of Toy-Disorderly .



Other future toys and collectibles:

Brother Midnight

Gonna use this opportunity to check out my favorite Topps card series, GPK.  Check out the limited edition 2016 Election cards HERE.
GPK version of "Dump"
Anyone else excited for Trump's new reality show?
Interesting twist on an old classic.  Isn't there a special jail for rich people?  I guess they can afford to bribe their way out

...

Not sure what this is referencing.  I didn't watch the debates, i don't believe in torture.


Feel da Bern!

I don't get this one either. Love that fly though!
This really demeans King Kong and Godzilla!


And the winner is....

Pop Culture League Challenge: Cast Your Ballot!

Last week, the League was all about Halloween, and now we’ll switch gears to another topic that seems to be on everyone’s mind. This week’s challenge to the Pop Culture League is…

Cast your Ballot!

Pop culture presidents.

Running with Action Figure Barbecue's Re-Halloween idea, I want to take this opportunity to squeeze in some more Halloween discussion.

During the current election cycle I couldn't help but think of one of the Simpson's greatest episodes, Treehouse of Horror VII: Citizen Kang.  The situation in this episode is eerily similar in to our currently reality.  There is even a Clinton involved, voice by Phil Hartman, God rest his soul.




So, who will you vote for? KANG or KODOS?
