TVFT’s Name That…Cheese Dip

Groo was well known for his love of cheese dip. This is sadly not from a Groo action figure.

Aang in Avatar State

Aang in Avatar State

An action figure made by a small company as a tie-in for a movie project inspired by a Nickelodeon cartoon; and the movie was directed, written and produced by someone with a very questionable track record at the box office. Pretty much the definition of long odds, in my book, but How does this toy Aang fare?

Name That…”GOOOOAAALLL!”

This was Mrs. Nerds idea for tying into the World Cup. It was this or the Macarena.

In fact, there are a lot of tiny details that bother me in this figure, like the skimpy silver outfit, the pink plastic skin or the oversized cranium. Oddly, putting all of these together doesn’t immediately translate into a plastic abomination; so further analysis might be in order.

4A-7 Spy Droid (Clone Wars)

Seen only in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie from 2008 and released by Hasbro in the third wave of figures from their Clone Wars line, 4A-7 appears to be an Arakyd Industries RA7 series droid, although from the neck down the basic structure is that of a Cybot Galactica’s 3PO series protocol droid.

Okay, Sometimes I can’t thing of a good name for these shadows and it’s just what strikes me as funny.

Iron Monger – Iron Man 2

Iron Monger – Iron Man 2

While I was waiting for Iron Man 2 to come out, I thought it would be a good time to revisit the first film on DVD. I was surprised to find out there was a good part of that I hadn’t remembered. One thing that I didn’t forget was the battle royal at the end between Iron […]

Shadow Bot

Shadow Bot

This vaguely mech outline should be fairly easy to figure out. Anime perhaps? Maybe, maybe not.

Rubber Ducky, You’re the One!

It’s not Ernie’s little yellow buddy. This duck actually had specific purpose in the film he was in.
