GI Joe: Retaliation movie figures showed up on the web a couple of days ago. One of the main characters is Roadblock, played by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. We have the main staple of GI Joe, the "ninjas", coming out with new figures including Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, and a generic Cobra Red Ninja figure. By looking at the previews,... Read more →
Since my last review of War Machine was fresh on my mind, I thought I would take this chance to take a look at the 6" Marvel Legends War Machine and the 7" Marvel Select War Machine, both modeled after the Iron Man 2 version of War Machine. These two figures both have some advantages and disadvantages compared to their 3 3/4" brother.... Read more →
The Iron Man 2 action figure line from Hasbro has given us more than its fair share of Iron Men to choose from. We have Mark 1 through Mark 6 Iron Men, we have Stealth-Suit Iron Man, Inferno Iron Man, Water-Skiing Iron Man, Smoking Jacket Iron Man, so on and so forth. For as many Iron Men this line has produced, there were some figures... Read more →
So I already have a collector's item! Reggie Bush was traded to the Miami Dolphins back in July, but this action figure series had already been in the process, so here we have New Orleans Saints Reggie Bush #25...not Miami Dolphins Reggie Bush #22. Miami did not get into the playoffs this year...so better luck next year Reg.... Read more →
Looks like I won't be able to escape it. Avengers vs. X-Men is coming and it is going to (infect) be featured in a lot of Marvel comics this summer. Particularly interesting is the cover released of one of my favorite comic books, The New Avengers (led by Luke Cage). Here we see Iron Fist...with a Phoenix logo! Well now this action... Read more →
Picked up "Gunner" from Pirates of the Carribean yesterday. I've been waiting for Target to discount this to a good price, and at just over $2, it was priced to move. I didn't really care for Pirates of the Carribean but I like the figure and I wanted it for the site, so here it is! It'll probably be a while before I review it... Read more →
We are now three weeks out from Super Bowl XLVI and like every year, the excitement is building up. To celebrate, I'll throw a quick review every couple of days from the McFarlane Toys NFL Playmakers line.... Read more →
Update: Marvel just posted an alternate cover seen above. Captain America vs. Cyclops. Marvel just posted the cover to their upcoming series, Avengers vs. X-Men. While they are hyping this thing up, I just don't know what to expect. I'm currently about 5 months behind in my comic book reading (I'm currently just getting into X-Men... Read more →
Marvel's Patriot gets to be the first Black action figure that I review. But here's the kicker...if you don't read comic books (namely Young Avengers), you would have no idea that (surprise, surprise) this dude is Black! He is covered from head to toe in his uniform. This is Patriot's first costume. His current costume in comic book... Read more →
