BEN 10 ACTION FIGURES PART#1

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a single episode of Ben 10 all the way through. I don’t have any nega-
tive feelings towards the show, it’s well made but skews just a big younger in viewing audience than
other similar comic book style hero shows such as Turtles, Batman, JLA etc.

Ben 10 is a good series of shows and I’ve seen perhaps five minutes here and there. The toys have
been Omni-Present for years on store shelves and I usually browse but don’t buy them.

With a big TMNT sized gap over the last year and a bit from PLAYMATES Toys, I’ve started picking up
some BEN 10 figures to round out my Ninja Turtles collection. The style and scale of BEN 10 figures fits

with most other TMNT lines at around the 4-5″ scale.

This wave includes new versions of Upgrade, Heatblast, Stinkfly and my favourite Humungousaur. I’ll
be doing a round up post with the other figures I picked up once they are all unboxed etc.

For whatever reason, the BEN 10 toys are just not on any store shelves here anymore and I could only
find these ones online, luckily at normal non-inflated prices.

Brick and mortar stores are selling less and less toys every year, and what they do get turns up pretty
randomly and sometimes only once or twice a year, instead of spread out over twelve months.

It’s no secret that retail stores are suffering, with some of my local ones closing down for good. Online
shopping has forever changed the way we buy things. Other distractions like phones, tablets and
game consoles are more popular than toys for kids, a trend that mirrors what happened to 80s toys
with the release of the Famicom/ Nintendo Entertainment System.

With wet weather and the (mild) cold at this time of year it’s a good time to take some more toy pho-
tos, and I have plenty of things to catch up on like re-reading the IDW Ninja Turtles in nice hardbacks,
a few good Batman comics and plenty of various animated shows of Super-Robots and Superheroes
from the 1970s right up until today to enjoy.

I love the comic book style art and deco to this mini-haul of Ben 10 toys. I have a few others I have
picked up recently and will be doing another short article to showcase them soon.
