Leave it to me to review a figure of a character who is no longer a regular on a current television show. Kid Flash cometh, then Kid Flash went away. He started off pretty great, but left the television Arrowverse kind of awkward and is barely a blip on people's mind today. So why review him now? Well, I got a new camera and I needed...

  I have been a fan of Cloak & Dagger in the comic books since I first read about them in the 80's. Not because they had a great powerset or even that the writing was all that good back then. It was that Marvel was doing something in the comics that was still kind of taboo at that time...an interracial relationship.  As all... Read more →

   One thing for certain, if you wait long enough in the action figure game, you will eventually get to purchase what you want. You missed something earlier? Don't worry, it will come back later (and even better than before) within the next ten years. Case in point, the original X-Men movie was released about 19 years ago in 2000. After... Read more →

  Growing up as a boy, I remember one of my favorite action sequences from "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" was the Han Solo rescue on Jabba's skiffs over the Sarlacc pit. I remember Luke looking over at Lando with a nod like "you ready?" and then Lando returning his nod like "I got you." I recreated that scene over and over again with my... Read more →

   When Bishop first appeared in comic books back in 1992, I had no idea at the time that he would become one of my favorite X-Men. I honestly thought he would become one of those throwaway characters that they put in just to later be written out. But no...Bishop has survived the ages and has been around in comic books and animation for... Read more →

  It's movie blockbuster Xmas movie season and there are several movies I would like to see.  Creed 2, Ralph Breaks the Internet (with the kids of course), and....Aquaman?! Yes, believe it or not, I actually have some expectation to watching "Aquaman". Yes, we have been beat up and berated by subpar DC movies with subpar villains...and... Read more →

  Whew...I don't know what's more disturbing about the Deathlok character. The fact that multiple iterations from alternate timelines keep showing up in the mainstream Marvel Universe (616), or the fact that most of the Deathloks were built upon Black Men.  It was like the Deathlok program was the "Tuskegee Experiment" of the near Marvel...

   This one may be a big miss for most collectors.  For one thing, most collectors won't even know who this character is...even though he's been around since 1969.  Although several people have worn this costume, the Prowler is at most times known to be Hobie Brown, small-time criminal turned later into a sometimes anti-hero. Why... Read more →

   Going through my back catalog, I came across this action figure.  John Diggle as a character is a great partner/best friend to Green Arrow in the long-running CW series "Arrow".  When this action figure was announced, I was cool with getting a plain clothes supporting character...this figure may have changed that line of thinking. ...

   I did a Pulp Fiction intro with my Marsellus Wallace review, so I will just keep this intro praising the works of Samuel L. Jackson.  Sam Jackson is hands down the most iconic American actor in cinema today.  Not only has Jackson played in a bajillion movies, he is the only actor I know whose likeness has graced the most number of...
