With everyone being hit by high gas prices and a bad economy I thought it might be fun to see what people have bought lately that's cheap and cool! Here's my two contributions: First I've got Wildvine from Ben10. He comes with goop that squirts out of his back and can be dropped off into little cutlets. The cartoon is so/so, but Wildvine just has that old school swamp monster look that's really cool. Cost was 9.99 from Target. Next is a Mega Bloks Plasma Tech Skysweeper. His chest lights up and has a replaceable battery compartment and his axe can attach to his back to makes wings. Arms, legs and wings can be swapped out with other plasma figures, which includes such creatures as zombies and dragons. Size is only about 10 cm and articulation is 5 points, but for $4.99 it's actually pretty cool.

I've seen the Plasma tech 'bots at K-Mart, and thought about picking them up... What the hell; I'll grab a couple tomorrow. They just might make great material for a customization project. I've got a bunch of yellowsub and wave model joints just waiting to be put to use. I bet I can turn that 5 points of articulation into at least 13.

I was thinking the these would have elbow and knee joints but was disappointed. They're still cool, but would have been much, much cooler with extra joints.
