Blade

TOY CAR: 1/64 Greenlight 1968 Dodge Charger, Black Bandit Series

Here goes my version of the summary of ALL Blade movies. Wesley Snipes is Blade. Blade is a vampire slayer who is half vampire. He is after some major villain that only he can stop. Serious asswhooping ensues and he wins the day.

No really, that's pretty much the basic plot of all Blade movies.

Not that I'm complaining, don't get me wrong. I honestly enjoyed all Blade movies. Well, maybe not much for the last one as that sucked but I had a bloody good time with the second movie. Now that was a movie with major bite!

Blade movies are really heavy on the fight sequences and they were particularly great on the first two. I can still hear the techno beat from the opening sequence of the first movie echoing in my head like some broken record. There's something twistedly (is that even a word?) awesome about watching a vampire hunter take out waves upon waves of vampire cannon fodder. Edward beware!

If you're an action fan, Blade movies are definite must see movies.

Onto the diecast:

Greenlight diecasts are really well made. They're like Johnny Lightnings, they both have rubber tires, good solid frames, nice details and good clean finish. It would have been nice if the doors open or if they offered it on a different series as I really didn't like the solid black tire rims offered by the Black Bandit Series. But overall, a good car that's nice to put on any display.

Enjoy the pics!

Supernatural

TOY: Greenlight Black Bandit Series 1967 Chevrolet Impala

Here's the skinny from wiki (wow, that actually rhymes) "Supernatural is an American drama and horror television series created by Eric Kripke, which debuted on September 13, 2005 on The WB, and is now part of The CW's lineup. Starring Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester, the series follows the brothers as they hunt demons and other figures of the paranormal."





I've never really followed the show even though I have been intrigued by its premise. I used to watch the X-files and Buffy and I'm still currently following Smallville. It should not be too much of a stretch to add this to my watch list but I guess too many shows, so little time.....

About the die cast. This was a fairly easy find really. One weekend I just stumbled upon this little gem while looking for an Ecto-1 Hot Wheels car. The original die cast car was actually an exclusive if you buy the Complete Season of Supernatural and was available in the U.S. As to what season this was bundled in kinda slipped my mind right now...but I suppose a quick Google search might do the trick =p.

The craftsmanship is awesome. Rubber tires, opening hood, nice clean lines, good solid color and clear letters for the Chevrolet logo. Pricing is reasonable but it would have been better if the doors open as well because it has some realy nice interiors.
