\nTime for a rare un-boxing and photo review of a modern toy. While I mainly try to avoid modern stuff, some of it embraces my inner child wishlist that it demands to be purchased.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\nSuch is the case with Pin Mates<\/a> which mix the vintage Fisher Price little people with the hottest licenses today<\/a> into something that just makes me deliriously happy. <\/span><\/div>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nI had a very happy childhood playing with my Sesame Street <\/b>set and an even happier second one letting my kid’s play with it (I may have gotten heavily involved with that play time as well)<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nToday, I’ll be looking at the first Pin Mates play set and they’ve started with a bang, the U.S.S Enterprise from classic Star Trek, beam down after the jump!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor full disclosure, my friend and Podcast co-chair Jason Lenzi is one of the principles behind Bif Bang Pow! the company that produced this. So I am a little biased, however I do counter that we’re friends because we both dig stuff like this. Anyway, let the pictures do the talking and not me.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis set is an Entertainment Earth Exclusive and if you buy it through this link<\/a>, i got a nice kick back, which I use to buy more PinMates. EE is having a “Buy one get the other at 40% off today too)<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe box said something about light assembly but i didn’t have to do anything. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe set contains three exclusive Pin Mates, Spock with Tricorder, Captain Kik with his green tunic and Nurse Chapel. The rest of the crew is already available as well<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe set itself is wood (just like the real Star Trek Bridge set!) and comes in two pieces, the view screen area is detachable to add play value.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span>
\nThe view screen area can also be used as a play set.<\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe beauty of this set is just like Mego action figures, you can create this whole universe of characters from Marvel, DC comics<\/a>, Star Trek, Twilight Zone, 1966 Batman, Dexter and KISS or even better, vintage Fisher Price Little People. I couldn’t find my Oscar the Grouch but Bert and Sherlock Hemlock will have to do.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nEverybody is so happy. I just wish my kids were five years younger.<\/span>
\n
Thanks for reading!<\/span>
