Spiral Zone

Let me go back to one of my old obsessions: 80s cartoons and toys.

One of the most fascinating for me was Spiral Zone. It had one of the most interesting concepts for a sci-fi action show. One of these concepts was the costume I most like: powered combat suits. I especially liked the backpacks which had various weapons like a grenade launcher, grappler, one-wheeled foot motorcycle, and remote controlled missile-launching mini-drone.

80s Cartoon Collage

In my search for Spiral Zone references online, I came upon this collage of cartoons that were popular during the1980s:

It can be found here.

Guess who they are. I can't identify all of them. hehe

Monster High

While working on a project about a toy, I was reminded of something interesting I earlier found: the Monster High line of toys.

Created by Mattel, the same maker of the Barbie doll, they're a line of fashion dolls focusing on classic monster themes. There's a vampire character, a werewolf character, a mummy character, a frankenstein monster character, and more. It's not the sugar and spice thing usually expected for girls, but I for one like this idea. I might get one myself.

HDM Masked Rider Kiva Emperor

I recently got a new figure in the form of the HDM Kamen Rider Kiva Emperor form mini-figure. I bought it at SM Megamall over the weekend. It comes in a box and needs some assembly. It's cheap at P150. But it's a great figure.

It's part of a series where other characters from Kiva and Den-O are used. I'm aiming for Kabuto if I can find it.
