Name That…Boil, Boil
I thought I’d brew up an easy one for this week. Actually, I was supposed to do this around Halloween, oh well.
Tripwire (GI Joe)
This is one of those figures that doesn’t seem to be getting much love. He’s still warming the pegs at local discount stores here for around $3. Tripwire is the mine sweeper of the GI Joe team. Armed with a metal detector, he’d go out and search for mines. Sad to say, but you don’t […]
Kamakura (Rise of Cobra)
As part of the Not-Actually-Seen-In-The-Movie characters, Kamakura is constructed with a number of parts taken from the 25th Anniversary line as well as some of the newer molds used for the first batches of movie figures.
Name That…Bottled Tower of Cheese
It’s as if Superman and Wallace and Gromit have merged continuities.
Retro Review – Daredevil (Marvel Superhero Showdown)
Although Hasbro seems to be doing rather well nowadays with their Marvel Universe figures, they were not the first ones to make 1:18 scale Marvel characters.
Classic Iron Monger
I fell for it. Normally, I can see repaints coming a mile off. In the case of the Classic Iron Monger, I missed it.
Name That…It’s in the Bag
I actually had to look through the previous ones to see if I’d done this one before. Body bag perhaps? Perhaps not?
Parker Selfridge
It’s been almost a year since the 3.75 inch Avatar figures started showing up at stores, and now, even after the Extended Edition of the movie was released in theaters, I would say that James Cameron’s Avatar has pretty much run out of steam (at least until Avatar 2 premieres, if rumors have any shard of truth in them).
Name That…Bed Head
I have to say I would have no where to start with this shadow. It really looks quite a bit different than the actual figure.
Name That…Laser Sword
It looks like a, well you know. But the hilt is really generic, it must be from…
Thor
Hasbro released Thor (#12) in 2010 as part of the second (H.A.M.M.E.R.) series of figures in the Marvel Universe line. For this series, Hasbro upped the ante by relying slightly less in generic body sculpts and offering a very good number of new, unique sculpts.
