The Simpsons Bunch Desktop Wallpaper
For the toy fans out there, here’s a desktop wallpaper that combines two of the most popular sitcom families, the Bradys and the Simpsons. Yeah, there was a couch gag that ended with this image with different characters. I didn’t know that until after I made it. (Click the image for the full wallpaper size.) […]
Snake Eyes (Paris Pursuit)
Snake Eyes (Paris Pursuit) is arguably among the coolest figures from the movie line, even though if it’s not the most pose-able of the bunch, and it succeeds in providing a refreshing new look for the character.
Errex Score: 95/100
I Feel Like Chicken Tonight
Okay. Thanksgiving is Turkey Time. I know. But, I didn’t have a turkey accessory and this was pretty close.
Princess Leia (Jabba’s Prisoner)
Back in 1997, when the first “Slave Girl” or “Dancing Girl” Leia came out, it was a figure that I thought would never get made. However, this year’s “Legacy” series from Hasbro has brought another new version of this figure. Obviously, this version of Leia is popular with the fanboys. It’s tough as nails Princess […]
Conrad “Duke” Hauser (Reactive Impact Armor)
After getting the previous version of Duke (the Desert Ambush version), I was not too interested on picking up this one too, but after seeing it in person, I decided to take the plunge and get it.
Flowers for Who? (Part 3)
Bet you thought I couldn’t come up with another flower accessory did you? Well, I did. I’d rate this one “Moderate” difficulty.
Storm Shadow (Paris Pursuit)
Hasbro released the Storm Shadow (Paris Pursuit) figure in 2009 as part of the second wave of figures from the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra line, based on the appearance of the character in the motion picture of the same name.
Riese The Series – Episode 1
I found out about “Riese” awhile back on Twitter. The allure of a Steampunk series was a huge draw to me . You may have noticed the banners on the site for the series over the past month or so. Let’s just say my interest was piqued. The first episode of this web series has […]
Flowers for Who? (Part 2)
Since last weeks flowers turned out to be the easiest “Name That…” yet, I thought we’d continue the flower theme this week. I’m guessing this one will be a bit harder.
Cobra Elite Viper
As of this writing, I haven’t watched “GI Joe: Rise of Cobra” yet. I will, I just haven’t had a chance yet. Overall, the movie line of GI Joe figures has grown on me. However, the nearest Wal-Mart reduced their prices on the standard figures to $6. That makes me like them a whole lot […]
Deluxe Deadpool with Missile Cannon
Hasbro released Deadpool with Missile Launcher Cannon in 2009 as part of the Deluxe assortment of toys based on the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. This release is based on his comic appearance and includes a big accessory for the figure. Deadpool is a character first introduced as a villain in X-Force #98, but proved popular enough […]
Why The New “V” Doesn’t Work for This Nerd
I’ll be up front with you. I didn’t really watch the original mini series or full season runs of the original “V.” I can’t tell you why, it seems like something my young mind would have liked at the time. I remember watching a few of them, but never really following it. So I think, […]
“The Abominable Dr. Phibes” Film Review
I was really excited to this film turn up on Turner Classics this past weekend for Halloween. It’s been at least a decade since I last saw it on television. Not that it hasn’t been on necessarily, but with the channel guides it’s a lot easier to find when some of the more obscure films […]
Conrad “Duke” Hauser (Desert Ambush)
I’m really excited to introduce this guest review. Errex is a long time TVFT forum contributor with a pretty extensive collection. Kicking off what I hope will be a great series of reviews, Errex is showing off the Desert Ambush Duke from GI Joe: Rise of Cobra. Take it away: Right off the bat, I […]
Scream Queen
Some people’s first guess is going to be that this week’s accessory is one of the pieces in the “Horrified B-Movie Victims” set of mini figures: Horrified B-Movie Victims Figure Set I guarantee she’s not. The second thought is that she is a figure. Again, she’s not. She is an accessory from a movie figure. If you are interested, […]
“Dear Balloon Boy” WOS Editorial by Bart Simpson
Wow, it’s been awhile since I created a WOS comic strip. Needless to say I was a little rusty. With the Balloon Boy getting so much press this week, I couldn’t resist taking a jab with TV’s favorite bad boy, Bart Simpson. (If you click on the image, it will bring up a larger version […]
Is It Time to Bury Bones?
I know, I’m going to stir some people up with this one. But after this weeks episode of “Bones” (A Night at the Bones Museum), I think it’s time to ask the question. Last week I wrote about how I though CSI had evolved and was able to change to stay fresh and interesting. But […]
The Winner of Hell’s Kitchen is…Huh?
So this week was the Season Finale of Hell’s Kitchen. The two hour finale featured the remaining three contestants facing off to see who would become the head chef of the Araxi restaurant in Whistler, British Columbia. The job is even more enticing when you consider that the 2010 Winter Olympics will have droves of […]
