Hulk
Once upon a time, way back in the 80’s, I remember standing in line at a supermarket and perusing one of those magazines stores like to keep handy at the checkout. In there was an interview with Lou Ferrigno. Nothing particularly noteworthy, except there was a shot of the actor holding what I though was the most amazing Hulk Action Figure I had ever seen …
Savage Opress (CW3)
Whatever your stance is in the “Bring Back Maul” issue, one of the cooler side effects of the whole thing was the introduction of Savage Opress into the Clone Wars mythos.
Zarak
One of the cartoons I used to watch , back in the 80’s, was Dungeons & Dragons. The show was rather formulaic, following the adventures of a bunch of kids trying to get back home from D&D land.

Shatter Blaster Iron Man
So, within the same year, Hasbro saw fit to release yet another version of the Iron Man Mk. VII armor that debuted in the Avengers movie.
Darth Vader (Light-Up Lightsaber)
Today I’m reviewing something that is, evidently, a novelty figure. However, even within the constraints imposed to this type of toys, I have to admit Hasbro did a really good job with this Darth Vader (MH20), released as part of the 2012 Movie Heroes line.
Covenant Ghost
Continuing with the reviews for Jada Toys’ Halo 4 vehicles, today it is the turn of the Covenant Ghost. The Ghost is a small attack vehicle favored by the Elites in the Halo Universe that hovers about 5 feet above the ground. It has an adjustable driver’s seat and it is armed with […]

Action Figure Blues Podcast
I wanted to post today to plug the Action Figure Blues Podcast. Why? Well, because I’m one of the rotating co-hosts, that’s why. If you are a regular visitor to the site, you would know that I’ve been contributing an audio “Name That” for some time. I’ve actually been a host for some time now, […]

Name That…Scrap
I’m trying something different with the background. Okay it was just easier. Guess away!
Marvel Heroics
I’m a sucker for items on clearance. Normally, a clear head will prevail. Mark something down though and I can’t resist. Similar to the tale I told on Episode 37 of the Action Figure Blues Podcast, I picked up a couple of the Marvel Heroics capsules at the same drug store. At 50 cents, I […]
