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...

  I remember about 25 years ago when some comic book company was having a contest on creating a superhero. Being a teen myself, I imagined a Black teenage superhero with electric powers, and I named him Static, as the word "static" referred to both electricity and was a colloquialism folks were using at the time to define turmoil or...

  Let me first get this out. We are 4 years into Hasbro's Star Wars Black Series of six inch action figures, and we are just now getting a Lando Calrissian figure. I won't start naming the insignificant figures that made the cut before Lando (Constable Zuvio comes to mind...you know, the guy who was cut from the movie but still managed to... Read more →

  I'm not going to lie to you...Samuel L. Jackson is probably my favorite actor. Not only is he one of the few actors who have been in over 120+ movies, he has to be one of the few actors who have been immortalized in plastic the most. I can't even begin to name how many Sam Jackson action figures, vinyl collectibles and PVC figures I... Read more →

  May the 4th be with you....ugh, I felt pretty dirty saying that. I swear it felt like May 4th, 2016, was just last month, but we once again come up to "Star Wars" day. And this is a special year - Star Wars first came to theaters in 1977, so we're celebrating 40 years of Star Wars. And at least 37 years since it was revealed that Black... Read more →

  Let's just state this fact: Vin Diesel is Black. Whether he wants to admit or not...he usually refers to himself as "multicultural." I believe he said this to keep his foot in the door in the acting world. In most of the roles he played, he is pretty racially ambiguous. Even in his breakout hit, "The Fast and the Furious," Diesel is not... Read more →
