Name That…Geared Up
If you want credit for guessing this one correctly, you will need either the characters name or the actor’s name.
The Mummy (Lego Monster Fighters)
I’d passed this Lego set up a couple times. I knew I’d get it eventually, though. Lego and a Mummy? How could I pass it up? The Mummy is a generic mummy in this case. With glowing red eyes, this standard minifigure has risen from a pile of bricks to terrorize the night. As always, […]
Name That…Eye Thing
I know where this comes from and still have no idea why it needed action figure form.
Elsinore Case Download
Since Jack asked in the comment section of the Bob & Doug McKenzie Wallpaper post, I’ll put the Elisnore cases up for download. For those that don’t know, Elsinore is the beer company that is the main focus of the Strange Brew movie. When McFarlane made the Bob & Doug figures, I’m assuming they didn’t […]

We look back at the year in collecting from both an industry perspective and from our own collecting standpoints – and we have a fair few laughs along the way!
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
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 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 […]

Name That…Bunhead
I remember girls in grade school wearing their hair in Princess Leia buns. They are the equivalent of the Superman curl.
Underscoopfire’s 50 Greatest GI Joe Characters
I was recently asked to take part in an UnderScoopFire panel to select the 50 Greatest GI Joe characters and 50 Greatest Cobras. It was a lot of fun and really made me think. You can check out the Joe list here: USF’s 50 Greatest GI Joe Characters and the Cobra one here: USF’s 50 […]
