The wait is over! "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" is here and...yeah, it was okay. We got some of the answers we were looking for. We had some good WTF moments and some bad WTF moments...and then there were the parts that were just...THERE. One of those "THERE" moments comes in new character, Jannah.  Without spoiling the movie,... Read more →

It's the end of 2017 and everyone was waiting in anticipation for February 2018...that's when Black Panther was going to release in theaters.  DC and the CW seemingly tried to take (or share) some of that thunder (no pun intended) by releasing their own resident Black superhero first in January 2018...Black Lightning! Now Black... Read more →

ABOUT DAMN TIME! We have been through two waves of admittedly awesome Black Panther Marvel Legends figures....okay, the first wave was half good with Hasbro not expecting the success of Black Panther and putting out a wave with a comic version of Iron Man, Namor, and Black Bolt, but the second wave of Black Panther figures was lit! ...

It was a rough time in my life...since I lost my MoviePass late last year, I had to carefully pick and choose which movies I would go to (I know, rough time). As much as I wanted to, Shazam did not make that list...I wanted to save my money for "Avengers: Endgame"...and of course I had NO regrets. Sometime between then and now, someone... Read more →

  I finally recovered from my week in San Diego and finally put the kids back in school, so I think it's time to actually report on my first trip to the San Diego Comic Con International.  Let me say, it was a lot. Let's get the bad out of the way:  If I got bumped into even one more time, I thought I was about to lose it.  And... Read more →

  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 →
