Born in Harlem, New York, Lonnie Lincoln was bullied as a youth since he was born albino with a pig-like nose.  In turn, he bullied and extorted the only person to show him an ounce of compassion in a twisted form of what he thought of as friendship, Robbie Robertson.  Robertson moved on to later become the editor-in-chief of the...

   I have a crazy backlist of action figures to review and sometimes you just have to sit down and go through them no matter what. So next up is one of the Superior Foes of Spider-Man herself, the Beetle. Now how does the Beetle make it onto "Black Action Figure?" Well, first off, I don't discriminate and you can be Black, Brown,... Read more →

Add your reason why in the comments below... (function(d, s, id){ var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s), r = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000000); if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;} js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.async=1; js.src = "https://www.opinionstage.com/assets/loader.js?" + r;...

   Spectrum...Photon...Pulsar...Captain Marvel...Monica Rambeau. This character has gone by many names in the last 35 years, but one thing she has not been called is an action figure...until now. Marvel and Hasbro has finally gotten a clue and has created an action figure for a character that has gone through 4 different names (including... Read more →

It's funny how a collector's tastes change over the years. I was once all in on the 3.75" scale and wouldn't even look at 6" figures or above. Then I was all in on the 6" figures and the 3.75" kind of faded off. At one point I considered a statue a waste of money. Now I can't seem to get enough of them. One easy entry point into the world... Read more →

   Always have to show love to the female figures of color, even though they are far and few between. And honestly, sometimes a little repetitive. I love the fact that with Marvel and Hasbro, we get all types of figures like Tombstone and Misty Knight. With DC and Mattel (or DC Collectibles) we get ten different versions of the same...

   It was way back in 2011 (six years can be a long time for some people) when Batman in the comic books established a worldwide network of Batman-like superheroes he affectionately dubbed Batman, Inc.  When DC switched over to their New 52 imprint, they introduced a new member of Batman, Inc., the "Batman of Africa" named Batwing. The... Read more →

  It has been five years since the last announcement of a Marvel Legends Blade...five! It was supposed to happen at a time when Hasbro was doing those crappy shipment "repacks"...which bit everyone in the ass because we missed out on several figures from Hasbro with them not following through on their repack/shipping schedule. Many... Read more →

  It seemed like it took me forever to get to this one, and well, it did. I went back and took extra pictures (yet somehow still forgot a back shot which now I'm like "eff it"). I sat on the review for a good week to think about what I was going to say. I wanted to make sure that I was in depth on this one. One year and ten days after... Read more →

  I have to say, finding the best representation of Will Smith as Deadshot from the movie "Suicide Squad" is apparently a lot harder than it sounds. I wasn't quite pleased with the Mattel 6" figure since it included 1 pistol. Not even his rifle...just the pistol. I was a little more pleased with the Mattel 12" figure since it came with...
