“The Amazing Spiderman – The Mark of the Man-Wolf” Book & Record
I know some of the kids out there are saying, “Records?” But yes, I’m old enough to have had child hood that involved small spinning discs that were of the non-digital variety. Back in our day, this was about as interactive as entertainment got. This was long before Leap Frog and the kinds of interactive toys that are around today.
Viperwolf Attack with Avatar Jake Sully
This time I’m reviewing my first boxed set from Mattel’s Avatar line. The Viperwolf Attack with Avatar Jake Sully set was released in 2010 as part of the DVD/BluRay launch tie-in for the James Cameron’s Avatar movie. The set contains a new version of Jake Sully in his Avatar body, two Viperwolves, a couple of accessories for Jake to use and a Level 3 iTag base plate.
Name That…Steampunk Shadow
Ok. It’s not really Steampunk. The shadow just looks it. This version of the character is not from TV or Film.
TVFT Name That…Head Gear
This one might be a little deceptive. Yeah, it probably is what you think it is. The problem is this version is fairly unique.
Avatar Jake Sully Warrior
Mattel released Avatar Jake Sully Warrior as part of the second wave of figures in the toy line for James Cameron’s Avatar movie. The figure is based on the warrior garb he dons in his guise as Toruk Makto (a sort of Messianic figure in Na’vi lore charged with the unification of the clans in times of great sorrow).
Engineernerd’s 5 Favorite Android Apps
We resisted getting “smart” phones for a long time. Why? Probably because Mrs. Nerd and I are from the generation where you only used your cell phone sparingly and didn’t see the point. A phone is for talking right?
Name That…Angry Flower
Somebody was recently commented they were watching this film on Twitter. And then I came across this figure when I was looking for something else.
TVFT’s Name That…Step Into My Web
This comes from the Web Trap Spiderwoman…. You didn’t really think it would be that easy did you?
Avatar Norm Spellman
This figure is the Avatar Norm Spellman, also from the second wave of 1:18 scale (3.75 inch) Mattel figures devoted to the Avatar movie directed by James Cameron. In the movie Norm arrives on Pandora alongside Jake Sully, although unlike Jake, Norm has spent most of his adult life preparing for this off-world assignment as a member of Dr. Augustine’s Avatar Research Program.
Name That…Does This Coat Make My Butt Look Big?
This figure would be on my short list of all time favorite action figures. I should do that one of these days…
TVFT’s Name That…Ancient Chinese Secret
Ancient if you find it in the back of the fridge. The question is who’s fridge is this take out box from?
Titanium Man – Iron Man 2
Finally! Some more foes for Iron Man & War Machine are staring to show up in stores. I managed to score a Titanium Man recently.
“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” Film Review
The film is based on a trilogy of Swedish novels. They were written by Stieg Larsson, who unfortunately, passed away shortly after completing the trilogy. The novels have became world wide bestsellers. As of this writing, the third book was just released in hardcover here in the States.
