When are sea creatures more then sea creatures?  Why when they are Sponge bob and Fish face from Ninja Turtles of course.  Today we are taking a look at some aquatic creature toys that aren’t so aquatic and much more fun then their real life inspiration.

First the new LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Stealth Shell in Pursuit.  This nifty play-set includes 3 mini-figs and two vehicle.  Well the pieces to make at least those 5 toys, but your imagination can make countless more.  The mini-figs included are quite unique for the most part.  First we have Raphael, who is not merely a painted mini-fig to look like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle but also has the shell, and the head of a Ninja Turtle.  With details right down to the red face mask.  Next up is a foot clan soldier, he is a regular mini-fig design who is functional as the filler when Raphael has to mop up the foot clan while chasing after our final mini-fig, Fish face.

Fish face is less a mini-fig and more a sculpture.  He is LEGO sized and has LEGO hands and size but his body is that of a fish, and his legs are robotic, making him just about the most unique mini-fig we own.  Little Man is usually pro hero/anti-villain but Fish face is his current favorite mini-fig.  The vehicle which you can make are a sewer skimmer and a stealth shell.  One a motor cycle and one a boat/jet-ski.  Both fit one figure each and bring the set together nicely.  This set is quite fun for LEGO enthusiasts or Ninja Turtle fans as well, both will get a bit kick out of Raphael and Fish-face.

Next up is everyone favorite pineapple dweller Spongebob Squarepants.  This particular Spongebob comes with a Bikini Bottom Bus and driver and is called Spongbob Squarepants: Bikini Bottom Bus.  The play set is quite fun for having just two pieces.  I think this is part of the charm of Imaginext, they do so much with so few pieces.  Pretty much the opposite of LEGO, doing so much with so many pieces.  Anyway.  Along with an articulated Spongebob comes a Bikini Bottom Bus along with a driver, who stays in the bus and has the ability to kick off passengers who are having too much fun for a simple bus ride.  With a  flick of a switch Spongebob is booted off the bus with an angry bus driver scolding him.  This toys is simple and meant fro kids of all ages and I can honestly say Little Man enjoyed this bus and Spongebob combo as much as Raphael and Fishface.

The great component of both of these toys is they are fully compatible with any other LEGO or Imaginext toys you have.  Batman could very well help Raphael in pursuit of Fish face and Joker or Superman could just be another happy passenger on Bikini Bottom public transportation.
