I mentioned it elsewhere, but these new super-articulated Mega Bloks figures have me hooked. Especially the Halo armored figures! I don't even play Halo or anything, to me they're just colorful, super-poseable robots with a bunch of unique molds.
Anyway, here are my Teenage Mutant Edgelord Turtles. A combination of TMNT, Halo and Terminator pieces.

That Donatello reminds me of the Image TMNT series Donatello! Haha cool stuff.

Well done! I always wanted to do HALO Kitty with those two Mega Bloks lines. Not much pop-and-swap since the Hello Kitty figures are basically one piece each. I could give the Hello Kitty figures guns and have the HALO dudes watering flowers, but could not really swap parts.
I have some TMNT blind-baggers. I have an extra Red Shred.

Haha, that's kinda what I was thinking too. Those were wacky days...

Cool! I got one of the TMNT blind bags but haven't gotten more because they're so much less poseable than the TMNT collector series.

Mimo, they certainly were wacky days, but I'll be damned if I didn't love that run. Raph running the Foot? Cyborg Donny? Werebat Splinter? It was a wild ride, but I loved it.

I have a few modern COD figures, but I love the legends WWII sets. I also have the Terminator Genisys sets and a few misc figures like Halo. Oh and I have one Assassins Creed set
I really dig the Terminator skeleton dudes. Especially the detailed head. All you need is to swap an appendage on another figure and boom! Instant cyborg thing.
They're surprisingly cheap on Amazon, too. I guess because Genisys bombed.

Genisys bombed, yes, but also I believe Mega couldn't find US retailers interested enough to actually carry them. Draznar or others could confirm, but I'm sure they got a brick and mortar release in Canada, while no one bothered in the US aside from Amazon.
I've owned a few Mega Bloks Halo figures here and there for years, from a ship from the very first wave of the line that was so bad in build quality I nearly trashed it to the odd figure here and there from the Alpha, Bravo and Charlie blindbags.
Also, I own exactly one Call of Duty figure, the all-gold astronaut when Kmart started selling all the exclusive bagged figures from that year. It's so gaudy!

MB's Suk...
LEGO's RULE!
jk - I like certain lines like the Teminator. BUT the connection pieces don't seem as consistent as Lego's... just an observation.

The Dragon's Universe line was one of the most underated toylines to come out in a while. The figures were amazing, the dragon sculpst were awesome and the vehicles were pretty cool. The figure 5 packs were an awesome grab as well. Then they brought in series 2 and it immediately got shelved due to the upcoming World of Warcraft line, which was also pretty exceptional from a figure standpoint.
Truly disappointing what happened to Dragons Universe, and WOW line as well. Feels like it should have done better. I would have thought with the huge fanbase it would have been still pumping out stuff especially for the new movie coming soon and yet it failed. Is the Megabloks < Lego stigma that big?

It's too bad Dragon's Universe came and went before Mega Bloks implemented their super-articulated minifigs. It looks like a cool concept.

I think so, and they still kind of earn it. A lot of the bricks either fit together too loosely or too well, and the quality control just isn't as good as Lego. I've only assembled a handful of Mega Bloks sets, but even with that small sample size there have been annoying cases where pieces are warped enough not to fit together like they should
