Remco gave birth to the Warrior Beasts (WB) action figures in the early 80s, jumping the bandwagon of Mattel's MotU success. The steed was sold "exclusively" in a playset consisting of the Dragon and a WB action figure (that was regularly Ramar. It was shown with Guana on WB cardbacks, though) . There's not much known about the Fire Dragon. Besides that at least two versions of Fire Dragons existed (one with a ruff, the other one without).

Rappin'-, Sewer Surfin'-, Skateboardin'- & Shell Slammin' Mike (Playmates 1990-91)
Von allen TMNT Varianten sind mir diese Dudes am liebsten, weil sie all das verkörpern, was man mitunter als großartigste Erzeugnisse unserer Popkultur betrachten kann: Rap Musik, Wellenreiten, Skateboarding und Wrestling!

PotA Cornelius 12" Figure (Sideshow Collectibles 2004)
It's here, my first Sideshow "toy" I ever owned, the 12" Cornelius "action figure". A lot of adult collectors got into Sideshow Collectibles these days. They're amazed about their detail and quality. They seem to be right. As a sucker for the Planet of the Apes (PotA) movies, this 12" Cornelius is one of the most detailed and valuable PotA "toys" I got my fingers on so far. Though, I'm not quite sure wether to call it a "toy" or not. I think "collectible" is just the right term, since those quite pricey action figures (not even sure if this is a proper term here) are made for being displayed - no more, no less.
Sideshow's 12" Cornelius comes in a nice layouted box, giving us an introduction on the PotA universe and the character. I suppose everybody is familiar with the PotA movie's plot. Anyways, here's a short summary:

Weapon Assault Drone (Hasbro 2011)

I actually didn't like the movie that much (the 1st one was far cooler). But apart from that, some of the Iron Man 2 toys from Hasbro look freaking sweet! (Besides that Battle Drone, I got my fingers on a War Machine - which I might review lateron).

M.U.S.C.L.E. (Bandai / Mattel 1985-87)
Wer A sagt, muss auch B sagen. Bzw. wer über OMFG bloggt, sollte M.U.S.C.L.E. oder auch "Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere" nicht unerwähnt lassen, an welche OMFG angelehnt sind.

Toxie (Playmates 1990)
'Toxic Cruhooosaders,
Toxic Cruhoosaders...' Ich habe ihn! Den Playmates Toxie! Endlich, nach
monatelanger Jagd! Wer meinen Post zum Toxic Avenger von Sota gelesen
hat, weiß, wie schwer es hierzulande sein kann, an anständige Toxic
Crusaders Actionfiguren zu kommen, da sie in Deutschland - wenn überhaupt - nur sehr limitiert erschienen sind.
