Tyrion Lannister
One of the more enthralling characters from the Song of Fire and Ice books, and by extension, the Game of Thrones TV series, is Tyrion Lannister.
Groot
For me, one of the things that made this Groot figure so attractive is the fact that it can be used to serve a wide number of roles, either as a generic Ent, a Forest Elemental or simply as a really big Groot to go along my Marvel Universe figures.

White Walker
The undead are getting a lot of coverage in media in recent years, thanks in no small part to the groundbreaking visual effects featured in movies and TV series.
Star-Lord
To round up the reviews for the regular figures from Hasbro’s Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends Infinite Series, today I bring you none other than the main hero, the infamous (in his own mind, at least): Star-Lord!

Clone Pilot ( Phase I Armor)
One of my favorite action figure molds in the modern Star Wars lines is that of the super articulated Clone Trooper, released by Hasbro way back in 2005 during the heyday of the Revenge of the Sith line.
Daenerys Targaryen
There are so many rich storylines on Game of Thrones, it’s hard to pick a favorite. I have to say I always find myself looking for forward to the Daenerys and Arya scenes the most. Daenerys has a story driven by birth right, revenge, and what she feels is just. It really just draws you […]
Gamora
Gamora is yet another action figure based on the movie design seen in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Name That…Sitting Pose
I could not get this figure to stand on his own. Not at all. It’s one one of the reasons I only own one figure from the line.
Name That….Antenna
Do kids these days even understand antennas? They don’t know the pain of tin foiling a tv antenna to get better reception.
Rocket Raccoon
One thing from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie trailer that really struck me as completely bizarre was seeing the CGI Rocket Raccoon being such a bad-ass. Right there I knew that Hasbro had to make toys of that character and that I would buy them, no questions asked.
Marauder Task Force Kickstarter Figure
I’ve heard a lot of horror stories out there about Kickstarter action figures. Most haven’t even got off the ground. One that did, had a couple little bumps along the way, and is no shipped is the Marauder Task Force figure. This project was helmed by the folks that bring us all those cool weapons […]
