Mr. and Mrs. Moongem are celebrating Moongem Comics 20th anniversary by giving us a look at their Colorforms prototype. The toy never went into production thanks to the Martians destroying the factory. Luckily, no lives were lost during that short-lived invasion. The Colorforms looks pretty cool, but I do wish they would have had clothes from their secret identities and maybe a Martian or two for them to fight. I'm also not sure how their capes work since you can't put them on their backs.

Toy Tuesday: Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things Demogorgon Zipper Clip
I picked up four more of the Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things eggs a few weeks ago. The only new one I got was this Demogorgon zipper Clip. A lot of people of calling it a paperclip because of the flexible protuding clip sticking up out of the top. It makes a very poor paper clip and I'm not sure how well it actually works on a zipper. It can stand up on it's own and is only 1 1/2" tall.

Toy Tuesday: Hot Wheels Quick Chat 2026 Black Edition
I also picked up this Hot Wheels Quick Chat 2026 Black Edition last Tuesday at the local Walmart's. This is based on the Fisher Price Chatter toy telephone with wheels from the 1960s and 1970s (I used to have one when I was a wee lad). The normal Hot Wheels version has the red telephone while this variant has a black one. This is #3 in the Mattel subset and #49 in the mainline series.

Monster Monday: Hot Wheels Monster High Ghoul Mobile 2026 Black Edition
I found this Hot Wheels Monster High Ghoul Mobile 2026 Black Edition at the local Walmart's last Tuesday. It's the same as the one that I picked up in February 2024. This one is #2 of the Mattel subset and #48 in the mainline series.

Toy Tuesday: Toy Story 5 Cereal
I found all four boxes of the Toy Story 5 cereal at the local Walmart's last Saturday morning. There are four different boxes featuring Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie and Jessie with Smarty Pants. The artwork is cool but I'm a little disappointed that the fronts and back feature the same artwork. I would have liked the backs to have games, trivia or information about the new characters.
Here are the sides of the boxes:
The cereal itself is vanilla flavored loops and is not bad.

Toy Tuesday: Hot Wheels 2026 Metalflake Purple Tooned Classic TV Batmobile
I picked up this Hot Wheels 2026 Metalflake Purple Tooned Classic TV Batmobile last Friday on a road trip to Hutchinson, Kansas. I was surprised that their Walmart's had two of them since our local one in Pratt, Kansas has none. The color of the photos may be a little off since I had to install the new version of GIMP to adjust the brightness and contrast of the photos. This is #4 of the Batman 2026 subset and #144 in the main set. I now have four different Tooned versions.
The metalflake purple color reminds me of Batgirl's costume especially when I shine my cell phone's flashlight on it. I love the red chrome on the wheels.

Toy Tuesday: Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things Demogorgon Pencil Topper
My fourth and probably final Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC287, which was the Demogorgon pencil topper aka pencil accessory. You could probably also put on your straw and a tiny rubber band is also included. This might be the only Demogorgon toy I will ever get.
I'm not sure why there is a rectrangle hole in the back of this Demogorgon head:

My third Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC265, which is Max Mayfield with headphones. She is wearing a brown hoodie, blue pants and brown footwear with blue bottoms. In her left hand, she is holding a Walkman. Her ginger hair has two braids.

Toy Tuesday: Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things Steve and Robin Captured
My second Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC286, which is Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley captured. The figurines are tied together and wearing their Scoops Ahoy sailor-style uniforms. It's actually a pencil accessory but you can probably also put it on a straw.

Toy Tuesday: Funko Stranger Things Kinder Joy Lucas
The Funko Stranger Things Kinder Joy eggs have finally hit the local Dillons store in Kansas. I picked up four of them last Saturday morning.
Funko Stranger Things Kinder Joy VC273 is Lucas in his basketball uniform. Side A of the insert shows how to assemble the toy.
Side B of the insert showcases several of the hanging figurines plus a QR code that leads you to the Upside Down game (No, I haven't played it yet).
The Lucas Sinclair figurine features him in his white with green trim basketball uniform and white shoes. He is holding a basketball and there is an "8" on the back of his jersey. Lucas stands about 1 1/2" tall. The picture doesn't do him justice but he's pretty cool for a sports figurine.

Toy Tuesday: Sam Greenfield as Leprechaun Funko Pop
I really need to watch Luck one of these days especially after seeing this cool Sam Greenfield as Leprechaun Funko Pop at Amazon. There's even a one in six chance that you may get the chase which has her sprinkled with glitterary bad luck dust. Even better is that the toy figure is one sale right now and you can get it in time for St. Patrick's Day.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2026 Day 11: Tiffany Valentine Funko Pop
Seems fitting that I spotlight this Tiffany Valentine Funko Pop at Amazon for this week's Women Wednesday post. The deadly doll is dressed in red and holding a heart-shaped box. I doubt there are chocolates in that box.

Toy Tuesday: Lego MIles Morales Prowler and Werewolf Spider-Man Minifigures
Here are the last two of the Lego Minifigures: Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse at Amazon. The Miles Morales Prowler figure has oversized gloves and a disc that may be a shield or a manhole cover.
The Werewolf Spider-Man figure is by far my favorite one. He does not come with any accessories, but he has a wicked tail.

Toy Tuesday: Lego Spider-Man India and Web-Slinger Minifigures
Here are two more Lego Minifigures: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse at Amazon. The Spider-Man India figure has two cups and a cat wearing a mask.
Web-Slinger has to be one of my favorite Lego minifigures. The cowboy comes with a hat, bandanna, a shoulder cape printed with webs and a spider, a lasso and a horse wearing a mask.

Toy Tuesday: Lego Minifigures: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
I bought six blind boxes of Lego Minifigures: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse at Amazon and they finally arrived last week. There are twelve figures based on the 2023 animated movie, Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse. I ended up with half of the set that I will be showing over the next few weeks.
The set features Miles Morales Spider-Man, Spider-Man Punk, Prowler, Spider Gwen, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Man India with Spider-Cat, Cyborg Spider-Woman, Sun-Spider, Spider-Byte, Spider-Man and May "Mayday" Parker, Web-Slinger with Spider-Horse and Werewolf Spider-Man. Several of the figures features alternative heads and accessories.
The back of the checklist has general instructions on how to put the Lego minifigures together. The pieces are very small and I dropped a few pieces putting some of them together.
