Minimate Imhotep

Minimate Imhotep

My love of Mummy action figures and movies has been well documented. So, it should come as no surprise, I snatched up the newest Minimate version of Imhotep as soon as I saw him dangling from a peg. I know there are a couple versions of this guy out there. This one appealed to me […]

Name That…Trainformer

No, it’s not a Transformer. It’s my shameless attempt to draw people into the Name That Game.

Mega Cannon Spider-Man

Mega Cannon Spider-Man

A $5 price tag was enough to make me realize I didn’t own a 3.75″ Spidey figure. Now, while there were plenty of movie figures on the pegs, I wanted something a little more true to the Spider-Man I know. To that end,  I went with the Mega Cannon version. Appearance: This version reminds me […]

2012 Year in Review – Engineernerd

2012 Year in Review – Engineernerd

2012 in collecting, to me, at least, it reminded me of what is called a rebuilding year in sports terminology. There was some good, some bad, and some just meh. Actually, lot of meh. Mattel still doesn’t seem to understand that we would buy decent DC toys if they would put them out there at […]
