Nano MetalFigs: Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort

I was pleasantly surprised to see these Nano MetalFigs for just 97 cents a piece at Wally World!  Of course there were also Disney figs for 4 times that.

Now cute little Lord Voldemort terrorizes Tombstone Corners.  I love that the fig is 100% die cast metal.  They remind me of little pewter D&D figurines.  The paint job is decent too.  I will definitely be picking up more of these little guys.  

Has anyone else started collecting these?  Which ones are your favorites?

Tombstone Corners: 2016 Buildings

Sadly, The Tombstone Corners Halloween village series saw no new minifigures this year.  There were at least a few interesting buildings to add to the village, some of the best in fact.


First off, let's get this out of the way.  There were some figures, but they're freaking giant!  They're okay I guess, but I want residents that are at least close in scale to the buildings.

BOO SCHOOL

This is just what the village needed!  The undead need a good education if they expect to become a successful detriment to society.  They are very strict about punctuality and have looked out that poor ghost.  School starts promptly at 11pm, and the doors have been ghost-proofed, no sneaking in by phasing through.

DOOM HOUSE

Not really much to say about this one.  It's a house.  I like the purple roof.

TOMBSTONE CORNERS HOTEL

Another village staple.  The living check in, and they check out dead.  The giant purple spider is a nice touch and I love the orange roof!  Previous buildings were all pretty bland.

RIP Town Hall

Great new building to add to the graveyard district of Tombstone Corners.  Situated next to the Ghost Train Station and in front of the Village Mortuary.  Reaper loves chilling on the roof.

BONE BRIDGE

Similar in style to the bone gazebo, you gotta have a bone bridge!  No one wants to walk on all that pesky grass.  Residents actually fit on the bridge, unlike the gazebo which is a bit too small.

PUMPKIN WITCH GATE

Not a bad addition, I especially like the Jack-o-lantern.  Sadly didn't come with matching stone walls.  The previous iron gate matches the iron fences better.

ORANGE "OUT" HOUSE

Not stay out, just "OUT". SPOOOOOOOKY! LOL!  "OUT" is in, in Tombstone Corners!  Mr. and Mrs. Monster love to hang outside their home all night.

And there's another way out...

Keeping up with the Jones's dark "OUT" house from a previous line up.

Mr. and Mrs. Witch Pumpkin Home

The clear winner!  Look at this thing, it's perfect!  I wanna live in a giant pumpkin!

There's even a nice side entrance. :)

Does anyone else have a Halloween village?  What do you think of Tombstone Corners this year?  Any tips on making my village spookier/cooler?

Tombstone Corners Part - Part 4: These ones suck...BLOOD!

I'm running out of 2015 sets to review, since less 3-packs were released this year. So let's take a look at 2 sets from 2014. First, the vampire family.

Blue is an interesting skin tone for a vampire and I like it. He even seems to have a little goatee.

The vampiress doesn't have the same blue complexion, but an almost wolflike fur texture. Interesting take on vampirism.

Lastly we have the loyal lycan lad. He's a good looking wolf man.

The weirdo from the oddball set wants to be a zombie, but I still don't buy it. Now thegentleman on the left and the lady on the right, they're killing it!

And here's their goofy zombie son. I think he's trying too hard with that weird pose. Not bad though, lots of blood splotches on his clothes and blood stains on the stone slab he stands upon.

The zombies and mummies look great in the graveyard of Tombstone Corners. Now all they need are some victims to hunt down for bbrraaaaaaaaains!

Tombstone Corners - Part 3: Newly Deads and Gargoyles

One of the less "poo your pants awesome" sets from 2014 was the Gargoyles set. It kind of felt like a filler, but I just had to have it in order to complete the series.

Just in case 3 gargoyles wasn't enough the 2015 series including 2 sets with a random gargoyle.

Do evil, speak evil, be evil.

The 3 gargoyles really aren't bad.  I like the details and the paint apps look fantastic since they're just one solid stone-gray color with slight detailing.

The electric chair zombie is pretty sweet!  I can really see this guy chilling in front of a haunted house, just like an older timer might sit on his porch in a rocking chair.  The lady on the right seems to have a mirror in her hand (or is it a comb?).  Is she a vain ghost? Is she a newly converted vampire checking for a reflection? Or maybe she's Bloody Mary herself!

The 2nd 2015 gargoyle set includes this lovely mummy couple!  Tombstone Corners really did a great job with these two! 

But hold on, the gargoyles are identical!? Also, I just noticed this as I', writing this, they also have 4 breasts each...

With 2 identical gargoyle figurines, I think it's safe to say that these were meant to be "newly deads" sets, the gargoyles acting as the wedding officiant. The zombie/ghoul and ghost/vampire lady appear to be part of some kind of shotgun wedding from beyond the grave.

And if you feel like Tombstone Corners needs even more gargoyles, then be sure to pick up the 2014 Gate figure, sporting 2 cat-like gargoyle sentinels.

Look at those cute little cracks.

That's all for now, THE END.

Tombstone Corners - Part 2: Unknown Freaks

I bring you another Figurines 3 pack from the 2015 Tombstone Corners series.

Now, don't get me wrong, I think these are awesome figures, I just don't understand what they're supposed to be. I'll show you what I mean.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this guy was a "Scarecrow", which makes perfect sense. But, when I took a closer look all I can see is a dude with a wicked mustache. What the!? Are they trying to reuse an old mold and make it look like a scarecrow? Either way, still a nice figurine for 33 cents.

Yeah, this guy. He's not a zombie, there are other zombies in the series and they don't look quite like this guy. Also, the zombies have a blank, expressionless look. This guy is clearly frowning and tilting his head back. And he looks like he's holding something, but what?

Hail to the hunchback chef! Seriously though, is this guy a chef as the white apron suggests? Maybe a lunchlady, or a "hunch"lady (get it!?). I'm thinking he's a Leatherface knockoff, despite his serious lack of chainsaw. 

He does have a nice hunch.

So there you have it, the mystery figurines 3 pack. I don't know what else to call it. All the other 3 pack figures tend to be related to each other in some fashion, like the Frankenstein/Mad Scientists set I reviewed last week. These guys? They're all leftover no-name Halloweeny guys? I dunno.

What do you think they're supposed to be?
