That's right, LEGO turns 60 today! It's amazing to hear it because this company hasn't really changed over the decades. This brick has been loved for generations past, and generations to come. Looking back at the company, LEGO Group founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen launched the first bricks called Automatic Binding Bricks in 1949. In 1953, the name was changed to LEGO or “Mursten” which is Danish for LEGO bricks. The original bricks were hollow underneath, so they had limited clutch power unlike the bricks today. LEGO's early years had color bricks available that were white, red, yellow, blue and green. LEGO has definitely grown since! Check out this video to see the company in its early years!
It’s amazing to me how time passes. I was starting to wonder why I was seeing so much Jurassic Park (not Jurassic World, but Park specifically) items in my inbox. Then I realized this year is the 25th Anniversary of Jurassic Park. I remember being a kid and going to see Jurassic Park with my family it was actually a doubleheader with a young Robert Downey Jr. movie Heart and Souls. Even young me was thinking "wow this is such a weird combination" but why would I care because dinosaurs. Who doesn’t love dinosaurs. Even when we went to see Jurassic World both Wysefyre and I got so excited because dinosaurs. You can’t get upset when you get to see dinosaurs just running around like they’re still actually around. That’s why despite the fact that I’m dreading that this is the 25th anniversary (I feel so old!), I’m excited to see more Jurassic Park toys come out. Now I know I will see so much when I go to Toy Fair NY a few weeks but the first few pieces to be announced from different companies has me excited already.
I don't know Japanese toys at all. Kotobukiya is probably the brand I know best. I like Japanese toys when I see them, but I just don't spend time with them. Which is precisely why Matthew from NerdNewsToday put together a Japanese version of the Blind Bag Random Figure Review Rumble 1. Yeesh! Talk about a mouthful. If you have any suggestions as to a new name, sound off in the comments. Otherwise, enjoy!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! REPTAR IS COMING TO BOOM! AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Check out the below press announcement for more details.
LOS ANGELES—(January 17, 2018) – BOOM! Studios today announced RUGRATS: R IS FOR REPTAR 2018 SPECIAL #1, an all-new oversized one shot comic about everyone's favorite T-Rex arrives in stores April 2018. When the power goes out at the Pickles home, the babies and adults come together to share their own personal favorite Reptar stories. This graphic novel is based on Nickelodeon's original animated series, Rugrats.
When NerdNewsToday's Matthew approached me about teaming up for these toy review videos, I didn't know what to expect. Of all the different toys I thought we might review, you know who I didn't think of? Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. But here we are.
First seen at last year's Toy Fair, these Fisher-Price minis are not what you'd expect. How do you take an established show and create a bunch of minis that kids will keep begging their parents to get more of? Simple. You create a ton of variants. And that's what they did.
What's also great about the minis is you can get franchise versions as sets. They have DC Comics and my favorite, the Power Rangers. But we're here to discuss blind bag minis, so here we go.

That's right, it is January 12th aka One:12! Mezco Toyz is using this opportunity on their blog to showcase their additions to the line in 2017, which have been impressive. They added quite a few different characters in the past year, including hits like The Flash, Harley Quinn, Deathstroke. and Deadpool. But none of those are as cool as my favorite 2017 addition to the One:12 Collective....
For this video, Matthew at NerdNewsToday and I decided to take a look at the Ripley and Power Loader vs. Alien Queen 3-pack from Funk ReAction.

Today, Matthew at NerdNewsToday and I are going to attempt to put together the Evil Rick and Morty construction set from McFarlane Toys. One of the things I like about this set is Evil Rick and Morty. It's as simple as that. I usually enjoy evil dopplegangers, and Rick and Morty delivered. As for how easy or difficult it is to build the set, watch on.

Of all the sets, Matthew at NerdNewsToday and I have been and will review of McFarlane Toys Rick and Morty construction set, this is the one I wanted to do the most. Nightmare of Elm Street is my jam. Freddy Kruger is my horror movie bae. Yes, I know how horrible he is, but no character has messed me up quite like Freddy, and I appreciate him for it. So, when Rick and Morty created their Freddy knockoff, Scary Terry, I was happy. When McFarlane Toys came out with the "You Can Run but You Can't Hide" Scary Terry construction set, thrilled and vowed to get my hands on it. And manhandle it I did.
