Brazilian Toy Arts BATGIRL!
Brazilian Fast Food Chain Bob's Exclusive DC Toy-Arts do Mini-Figure 2013
Brazil seems to have the best fast-food exclusives. I'm currently hunting down at least three different ones on MercadoLivre.. although "ebay-prices" seem to be a phenomenon on all sorts of commerce sites, not limited to ebay itself... *sigh.* This current line of five Batman figure is a follow-up to 2010's Justice League (Liga da Justica) which was a rather obvious knock-off of Hot Toys' Cosbabys. This Batman is a distinct departure from the Cosbaby-style, but there are still more similarities than differences. These figures are unarticulated 2.75" PVC figures with non-removable bases. They are cheaply constructed, but don't necessarily look it. Plus they make a great addition to any super-deformed or vinyl hero collection. I'm eagerly waiting to get my hands on a Catwoman. I only wish they made cool fast food exclusives here in the USA. It's been way too long since I've had a reason to go to Burger King. Let's check out Batgirl below!

B-Robo Kabutack's TENTORINA!
The Pinkest Ladybug Robot Ever - from BanDai 1997
Happy Valentine's Day! I've been saving Tentorina since she's my favorite of all my pink toys. B-Robo Kabutack is the 16th installment of Toei's Metal Hero Series. The Metal Hero Series had a similar role in Japanese pop culture as other serials like Super Sentai (aka Power Rangers) or Kamen Rider (aka Masked Rider). These series usually reinvent themselves every year while sticking to a general theme, The Metal Hero Series typically involved robots (or heroes in robotic suits) with stories of good tech versus evil tech, often in the "space police" genre. B-Robo Kabutack is unique in that it's the first in the series to be totally geared towards children. The basic plot involves a scientist who creates a bunch of robots to help him find these magic "star pieces" scattered across the planet. Some of the robots had incomplete programing and start being bad. Tentorina is a pink humanoid robot (on the good side) who is styled after a ladybug. I love her design. One of my favorite fembots ever. Let's check her out below!
