I have been a huge fan of the Aliens and Predator franchises for a majority of my life. I remember my dad letting me watch the first predator at a young age and him letting me sneak in to watch some of the colonial marines battle screeching aliens in the Cameron classic film, "Aliens". It's been a big part of my sci-fi nerdom. When I was young, I had a small series of Aliens 2 pack toys from Kenner. I loved them so much that when I got a chance to get the single carded action figures and vehicles, I jumped to the chance! That lead to me finally getting a good run of the Predator toys that coincide with the Aliens toys from Kenner. Now, Neca toys has made two new action figures that are in the classic vintage Kenner style. One of which is the Alien NeoMorph that appeared in the movie, "Alien Covenant, and the other is the Berserker Predator, that appeared in the film, "Predators". I have the Berserker Predator! Let's take a look at him.
This toy is great! It is nice to have a vintage style action figure that looks very good with the actual vintage collection. The paint and sculpting are a nice upgrade to the vintage look, but doesn't overdo the surpassing of quality. In Laymen's terminology, it's still looks simple enough to mix in the vintage toy line and not stick out to much.
I was disappointed with the attachment of the accessories. Both the cannon and the blade keep falling off in play. In all honesty, it is an adult collector toy, but, a little glue would go a long way. I have thought about gluing the blade down on my personal toy, due to it falling off every time I move him.
So for this toy, I give him a 4 out of 5 stars. If his accessories fit better, he would have gotten a 5 star rating. He really is a cool nod to the vintage toys we all loved so well.
Jeff and I are having an 8th anniversary of our show, Talking Toys with Taylor and Jeff! It has been a great ride. Celebrate the occasion by going through our backlog of shows on MarvinDogMedia!
In the past, I have been passing up the Call of Duty (COD) Mega Construx building block sets. Recently, I took a gamble with my extra expenses to buy a twelve dollar set from Dollar General here in my town of Denton, TX. I liked it so much, I felt the need to make a video!
Things that I liked about this set were the fact that the box is super modular. What I mean is that the box can be taken apart, and put together is various ways. It makes for some cool environments. let me show you.
The weapons are also able to be broken apart and changed up. This is such a simple, and yet cool playset that has a greatplayability! I give it a 4 out of 5 stars! If you are interested in purchasing this set, I have a link for it here: Amazon Mega Construx Call of Duty Solo Mercenary Outpost

This last year, I made my Artmor set of plates into Beast Man's Chest. It is a follow up to last years He-Man's Chest and the year before's Skeletor's Chest. As most of you know, I am a HUGE Masters of the Universe fan. These Artmor plates help me bring my fandom love of MOTU into the realm of Star Wars. The money made from this set and many other fantastic Artmor art pieces go to a cause that I am a strong supporter of, Toys for Tots. I talk toys, I customize toys and I love toys. My world was shaped due to the imaginative play of tiny articulated plastic and I feel it is important for every child to have that access to imagination in their youth. If you feel as strongly as I do about the importance of these auctions, or want to have a hand in owning new pieces being built for future auctions, follow up on The Artmor Project on NeoZaz's Artmor facebook page. You can also see this Artmor piece on my deviantart page here.

About a year ago, I had made a small run of space themed chicken resin figurines that I had named, "Intergalachicks". I have finally got around to getting these chicks posted here on my website. The run of these two designs are very limited only having eight total castings of these toys. There are four bad guys and four good guys. The foul are cast in blue glow-in-the-dark pigments for the good version and orange glow-in-the-dark pigment for the bad guy themed bird. They are accented with hand painted acrylic paint application to accentuate their armor and technology. Lastly, they all have fluorescent paint for their eyes and a printed tag clear-coated to the bottom of each resin casting.

The show is on! I just finished building my show at Freaks and Geeks in Denton, Texas. I have a whole hallway, and I didn't waste any design space. I am calling the show, "Look at all this SPACE: art by Barnlord". It will feature custom toys, prints and paintings by me. There will be a good range in prices for the items I will have. I'll also be rolling out the elusive Abducto-Eyes table top toys from my last year's instagram feed. This is the first time they have been available to the public. I'll have Wereworms, Cheesecake Head Charlie pins, Pabst Wrestler Beasts, and more! I'm super excited about this show! Saturday, April the 4th, 2015, I'll be up at Freaks and Geeks from 8:00pm-12:00pm for an acknowledged show opening. I'll have my paint markers in hand, so if you bring me a blank vinyl toy, I'll customize it for $5.00. That's a heck of a deal! Seriously, don't miss out. Here's some pictures of the hallway.
Be sure to go check out Freaks and Geeks facebook page. Go get your blank vinyl toys and I will see you all at the shop on Saturday!

Back when I was a kid, I had this robot that had a suction cup bottom and a "hugging/crushing" feature on it. That Robot was Maxx Steele. For this site, I've talked about three of the Robo Force Robot toys. I reviewed, Maxx Steele, Coptor, and Blazer. In this painting, I've got Maxx Steele and Coptor featured along with the Fortress of Steele based on the Maxx Steele Robo Force toyline by Ideal Toys. As I go and research material on the toys for the Podcast I'm on, Talking Toys with Taylor and Jeff, I find all sorts of package and book art from back in the day. I felt inspired to make my own Robo Force painting. Now, I don't think there was ever any Jungle scene in any of the books, but I really wanted to put one in. I thought of it as the world before it went barren in the Maxx Steele book universe. This piece is an acrylic painting on a 13" X 24" piece of polar matte paper. It took a long time painting this piece, and I had a blast working on it. I wouldn't mind making another one day. Maybe I should make an action scene between Blazer and Hun-Dread. We'll see. You can see this piece in my deviantart gallery as well here.

I apologize for having not done any review from the Sci-Fi Expo yet. I haven't had a lot of time to post here lately. The show was good and I had a good time! I got to visit with a lot of great people, including my favorite cosplayers, fans, and peeps! Thank you all for stopping by and visiting. Thank you Taffetta and Anna for your support! Thank you Reese, and Family for the purchases and thank you Candace and Darth Mall toys for yours as well! While I was there, I was interviewed by Eugene, a puppet reporter from Puppets Rule the World. Below is my interview.
If you have to ask, Eugene smelt like dryer sheets. :D

The Sci-Fi Expo is this coming weekend and I will be there February 8-9th. I'm offering the "Two Super Cops Walk into a Bar" print as an 11" X 14" exclusive for the Sci-Fi Expo on February 8-9th. Now, this piece here, called, Daryl Fett, is a commission piece for Joel at the Darth Mall vintage toy store. He wanted a mash up of two of his favorite characters; Boba Fett from Star Wars and Daryl from the Walking Dead. Normally I go for pen and ink Illustration with watercolor and marker coloring, but I really wanted something special this time. I decided to set out the acrylics and paint this commission piece. I like the way it turned out. The size of the picture is 11"x 14" and it is acrylic on 60lb polar matte paper. I've had a few people ask me about it as a print, so I'm thinking of making a small run of this piece as a print. If you are wanting a print, let me know, and I'll see if I can get some printed.

Not too long ago, I was approached to make a couple of art pieces for a new program called, "The Artmor Project". This is a new program created by the guys over at NeoZaz.com. The program is sixty Star Wars Artists, Podcasters, Fans, and Community Pioneers who were sent blank Mandalorian armor sets to create custom one of a kind pieces of Art. These original works will be auctioned of as the corner stone of the annual Star Wars in Character Star Wars Toy Drive benefitting Toys for Tots. I am a big fan of Toys for Tots and couldn't pass up this grand invitation! This was the second piece that I finished. It is called, "Skeletor's Chest". You can also see this piece in my deviantart gallery here. I will have a table for the Dallas Comic Con: Sci-Fi Expo, February 8-9th.
