Toys Works, the Chinese company known for making 1/6 scale figures that Hot Toys can't be bothered to make, has been killing it lately.  My "Black Steel" (Netflix Luke Cage) figure is on the way and I have a number of movie version X-Men on preorder. Up next for them?  "Spiritual Leader", aka Morpheus from the Matrix. And if the... Read more →

  Is "retro" still in?  Did you feel like 35 years  is too late on some breakdancing figures?  Are you too young to even remember the movie "Breakin'" and "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo?"  Then these figures are not for you. Super7 is releasing a set of "retro" 3.75" figures of characters from Breakin' including Turbo, Ozone, and... Read more →

  "Spider-Man: Far From Home" opened this past Tuesday so I thought now was a good time to crack open my Target Exclusive Marvel Legends Spider-Man/MJ 2-pack and review the MJ figure.  This 2-pack is actually advertised as being from "Spider-Man: Homecoming", but hey, better late than never. Yes, it's kind of weird that this is labeled... Read more →

  You can tell when I'm just kind of "meh" about a review.  I did this photo shoot of this figure two weeks ago...and I've been sitting on it since. But here it is and I would like to get this one done before the third season comes out next week, so I'm still somewhat timely with this review. Some background on this figure - I really...

  Next up is Val from the "Solo: A Star Wars Story" movie played by one of my favorite actresses, Thandie Newton. It's always surprising to me that we have another actor here who has had a varied and long film and television career and this is (I believe) the first action figure with her likeness on it. The movie itself was just okay to... Read more →

  Let me tell you, it's kind of hard getting off the Marvel bandwagon...Hasbro alone has been producing excellent action figures and their distribution has only made them more popular. But over the years, Mattel has been hanging in there pushing out smaller waves of figures based on DC TV, movie, or comic book franchises. Unfortunately... Read more →

  We finally come to the end of a fantastic Marvel Legends wave of figures from 2018's Black Panther movie. We end this wave with another figure that I thought for awhile that we may have to live without: M'Baku, leader of the Jabari Tribe. M'Baku, portrayed by actor Winston Duke, was a surprise breakout character in the movie. He was... Read more →

  We're down to the "Endgame" with this wave...only this Black Panther figure and the M'Baku Build-A-Figure left.  I know if I stick to it, I can get them done before I hit the movies on Friday. This is definitely a Black Panther figure you want in your collection.  Yes, it does have a M'Baku Build-A-Figure part, but it also features... Read more →

    Remember that beautiful, Black bodyguard that Prince T'Challa had in "Captain America: Civil War" that threatened to remove Black Widow from the pathway ("Move...or you will be moved.")?  Did you ever in life think that she would someday get her own action figure? Nope, neither did I... Hasbro actually came through on one... Read more →

    Coming back at you with a review of T'Chaka from the Marvel Legends Black Panther series Wave 2. At this point I really want to finish up these last three figures soon so I can hurry and get to review the M'Baku Build-A-Figure. That leaves another Black Panther figure and the Dora Milaje left to review before that. I loved... Read more →
