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.
