Action Ranger Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Yeah, So I went to a Taco Bell and noticed they had American Gladiator themed toys in the Kids Meal. I picked up a couple "Ultraspheres" which are just the Atlaspheres and was delighted to learn that they split apart. And that minimates fit inside them. So now I can re-enact one of the best parts of the 1990's with minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I've never seen the old show, but those atlasphere things do look wacky-fun. BTW, great blog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Ah, American Gladiators. The show that sort of wanted to be "Running Man" (movie version). Retained the colorful jumpsuits and 'roided up "hunters", but cut down slightly on the death and maiming. Pretty cool find there, Ranger. I honestly didn't know the show came back. Some things are probably better left in the wastebasket of history, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some things are probably better left in the wastebasket of history, though. It came back during the writer's strike a couple of years ago but is now dead again. It was hosted by Hulk Hogan just as he started going through all of the divorce nonsense. I loved that show when i was a kid but the new one was almost unwatchable.

Turtle Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 That is pretty awesome. What other kind of sets are available? Nice blog, btw. I saw that Lego army man set the other day and had a hard time passing it by. Now I regret it even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 They did used to shoot at people with a tennis ball cannon back in the day. It was my favorite part of the show. Not sure how that would translate down to a kids meal toy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Really nice blog you have there! I almost got the Lego Army Men today but just felt they were tad expensive for an impulse buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Did Arcade ever put the X-Men into balls like this in Murderworld? It seems like something that would be right up his alley... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I seem to recall seeing either the X-Men or Spidey being put into a giant pin-ball machine once by Arcade, where they were inside the giant pin-balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost want to say it was X-Men & Spidey in a tie-in comic to the Spider-Man/X-men Super Nintendo game where each level was either Spider-man or an X-men fighting through one of Arcade's scenarios. Man, I wish I remembered Arcade, would have made for a more appropriate pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
