Well, we've made it through another year (and already two weeks plus into the new year). Lots of releases, lots of figures I didn't get a chance to review. However, before I do my 2017 Figure of the Year, someone suggested if I could go over what was released this year. While this list is by no means complete, it is a good indicator of all...

5 legends from 5 different sports are a part of this post. They are the best, they hold records and they are at the top of the world for years now. Today, I want to introduce you to the legends of basketball, American and European football, baseball and ice hockey and their action figures.   ADMINISTRATOR NOTE: This article was... Read more →

   When they first announced Thor 3, I was not holding my breath. The first two iterations of Thor had been good enough to watch, but easily forgettable in the long run. When they announced Thor: Ragnarok and put out the teaser trailer, Marvel easily regained my attention and got me excited again for a Thor movie. I thought they had a... Read more →

   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 →

   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.
