Undead Geonosian

Undead Geonosian

Hasbro released the Undead Geonosian I’m reviewing today late in 2010, and the figure was inspired by the Legacy Of Terror episode that aired about midway of the second season of the show.

Corporal Dwayne Hicks

My more recent NECA purchase is based on a character from one of my favorite movies ever, James Cameron’s Aliens. Of course, I am talking about Corporal Dwayne Hicks.

The cool thing about these shadow pictures? I don’t have to dust the figure before taking them.

AIM Soldier

AIM Soldier

If I had to name one character from the Marvel Universe toy line I actively avoided to purchase for years, it would be hard not to mention the 2010 AIM Soldier.

Thorin Oakenshield (6 inch)

Thorin Oakenshield (6 inch)

One thing I find really interesting about the figures made by The Bridge Direct is that each character scupt is the exact same regardless of scale, and then blown up or shrinked down for each line segment.

Ghost Rider (Redux)

Ghost Rider (Redux)

I have never read a Ghost Rider comic. My exposure to the character is mostly limited to the 200X movies and the rare cameo on the few Marvel Comics titles I read sporadically.

Tauriel (6 inch)

Since The Bridge Direct delayed the release of the second wave of 4-inch action figures for The Hobbit, I went back and tracked a few of the 6-inch ones. The one I’ll be reviewing today is Tauriel.
