This is one of the sets from Mega Bloks’ Call of Duty collection that immediately caught my eye when I found it at stores.
Name That…Zombie (Replay)

Name That…Block (Replay)

Vizam was released in the 3.75-inch scale Star Wars Black Series and he is yet another of the nikto gunners we see in Return of the Jedi.
Juggernaut (Call of Duty)
One popular play mode in most modern First Person Shooter games is “Juggernaut”. You can find it implemented in the Halo and Call of Duty games, although it is also featured in many other game series. Mega Bloks decided to offer a small set loosely inspired by this game mode in their 2014 […]
Name That…Round Head (Replay)
Actually, I think with the proliferation of vinyl deformed figures this one maybe harder now than when originally posted.: I really like this one. It turned out better than I hope. Comment away…
Name That…Ray Gun (Replay)
Doesn’t look like this one got ID’d the first time around…try again people. I know what it looks like. But, it’s probably not related.

41st Elite Clone Trooper
The 41st Elite Clone Trooper uses the same basic body mold updated for the Vintage Collection, paired with a Phase II helmet. So far, so good, as the details sculpted onto the armor looks sharp and the articulation is really excellent.
