Mega Bloks Call of Duty Jungle Troopers Review

Time for my second review! I'll be taking a look at another Call of Duty Mega Bloks item with the brand new Jungle Troopers "care package" set. This 147 piece set is included in the $15 "troop pack" assortment and includes a small build-able terrain piece, various accessories, and five micro action figures.

I'll cover the "boring" part of the set first, which is the terrain piece. It is a very simple build that involves two base plates, some small pieces to connect them,  and some "scenery" bits to finish it off. I did find the small palm trees, which are made from a molded plant piece placed on top of stacked cylinder pieces, quite fun to build. The finished terrain piece isn't anything groundbreaking but it does a good job representing jungle scenery. 

 
Now for the good part: figures and accessories! Like most of the "care package" sets, Jungle Troopers  includes five fully articulated micro figures with a plethora of weapons and accessories. The figures are molded in various shades of green and brown to distinguish them as jungle soldiers. Only four rifles are included, but a pistol and several backpack pieces make up for the lack of a fifth rifle. All of the extra gear can be stored in the opening crate that is included.

This is a solid troop pack and a great way to add more variety to your Mega Bloks Call of Duty collection. It is hard to go wrong with five articulated figures and a small build for around $15.

Mega Bloks Call of Duty Desert Outpost building toy review

To start things off I will review the most recent addition to my collection. That item is the Mega Bloks Call of Duty Desert Outpost building set. This is a brand-new toy that I acquired at a local retail store this morning. This is a small set with only 79 pieces, and features a small building and a single micro action figure.

The completed building included in the Desert Outpost set looks just like a... well, an outpost in the desert. Basically the structure is a tan wall with a doorway, window, and small roof section placed upon two small base plates. A bright red barrel and ladder add some extra detailing. Some molded sandbag pieces and barbed wire complete the build, turning a generic wall into a combat zone. 

The micro action figures have been one of my favorite aspects of the Call of Duty Mega Bloks line. This set includes only one figure, which is a modern soldier ready for action in the desert. The figure comes outfitted with a modular machine gun, a bipod, and a pistol. One nice thing to note is that the figure's arms now come pre-assembled, so that should make figure assembly much easier. 

Overall this set is a very nice addition to the Mega Bloks Call of Duty line. While the included structure is simple and may seem relatively boring, it is nicely detailed and serves as an awesome display base (or playset) for the micro figures. 

Intro

This blog exists as a platform for me (Gregman) to post reviews about various toys and collectibles. I primarily collect modern action figures based on various movies and television shows, so those items will be mainly what I review. Occasionally I might post something about a construction/building toy (Lego, etc) or a video game. If I am really bored, I might discuss a movie or food or something totally random.

Thanks for stopping by, and considering this is my first blog I welcome any and all feedback. I hope you enjoy what I have to share.
