Mega Bloks SpongeBob Squarepants Series 1 Blind Pack

 Oh how the worm turns!  You may remember back a few years ago when Lego held the SpongeBob license. Now Mega Bloks is putting out SpongeBob sets.  I couldn't resist picking up a blind pack.

Here is the insert poster.  With a super secret rare figure possible.  I looked it up it's SpongeBob in his underwear with a pineapple.

 Well it' looks like I pulled a rare Karatay SpongeBob. Yeah I had to look it up. I'm not a big SpongeBob fan so it's a little foreign to me.

 The figure comes with 11 pieces.  While I'm not always thrilled with MegaBlok's sets, their microfigures always impress me.  The figure has great detailing and movable arms.

Mega Blok - Call of Duty sets

I think it's pretty clear here at the Minifigure Collector that I love Lego. And I do. But I love all things buildable and that includes all the other brands out there.  Lego has a strict policy of what it will feature in it's products and one of those limitations is depicitons of war and modern warfare.  So it's no surprise that plenty of the other building set companies have come to fill that niche.

Mega Blok has gotten the Call of Duty license and I finally saw the first sets on the shelves a couple days ago.  So  I figure I'd do a quick run down of the new Call of Duty sets Mega Bloks is offering.

Really these Micro Figures are just tiny action figures with all those points of articulation. And with all the detail each figure gets they really are very well done.  I'm sure that Mega Bloks will also be offering blind pack series with various variations and war themes to add to the set.  You can read more at Mega Bloks website.

The first few set are what I call the army man sets. Each features 5 micro figures and some small structure.

 There are two small construction sets featuring a micro figure and a vehicle.

 The medium set is the Chopper Strike. Which looks really cool.

 The two larger sets are the Humvee featured Light Armor Firebase

 And the Dome Battleground

 The really big set is the Heavy Armor Outpost and features the Main Battle Tank.  Which looks really cool from the photos on the Mega Bloks website.

There are also a couple Zombie Themed sets, because you need some Zombies to blow up.

I'm probably not going to go after any of these sets unless I find them on clearance, mainly because I'm after the micro figures and in these more adult themed sets, like Call of Duty, Warcraft, and Halo the microfigures are just so...I'm not sure I have a good word for it, but not unique.  I guess there's just not the personalization and character recognition.

Mega Bloks Halo Series 7 blind pack.

I'm a pretty big Halo fan. At least the video game. As far as building sets and Mega Blok Micro Figures not so much. I did pick up a bunch of Series 3 right after Christmas last year for super cheap, but for the most part they just don't appeal to me. But I was walking through the toy aisle and couldn't resist picking up a blind pack from the latest series.

I was pretty happy to pull out one of the rare figures. The UNSC Spartan Mark V with plasma rifle. 

And while I'm not big on the Halo figures I did really like the Mega Blok Marvel figures they put out a few years ago. Mainly because of the twelve points of articulation and that the figures are so well done and life like. Plus the detailing is pretty spot on.

Over all this isn't a set I would try to hard to put together, but I wouldn't say I'd never pick up another blind pack.
