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 […]
Darth Vader (X-Ray Head)
I’m one of those folks who gave up on buying Darth Vader figures years ago. Yet, the new “X-Ray” head version was just too tempting. Appearance: This figure is like a lot of other Vader and Luke figure and tied to one particular scene from the films. Specifically, he’s from the scene when he is […]
Name That..Faux Salt Vampire
I was telling somebody the other day the Salt Vampire from the original Star Trek series always creeped me out as a kid. This is completely unrelated.

Jack Skellington
I love stop motion animation. I just do. I also dig scary movies new and old. Nightmare Before Christmas is a blend of all of those things. To fill the craving people have for merchandise for the film, Jun Planning put out a series of small boxed mini figures. If I was going to pick […]

Head Swap: Zombie COBRA Swat
I have to say this was a purely based on the new season of the Walking Dead. In the season premier, one of the cooler looking zombies were prison guards that had been turned. While slightly controversial to some, they did look cooler than the typical walkers. Now, I had an idea to put this […]
5 Marvel Movie Characters I Want Figures Of (But Won’t Happen)
As a long time Star Wars figure collector, I’ve gotten use to the fact if I wait long enough I’ll see a character from that universe in figure form. However, the Marvel Movie universe is another story. While heavy on the main characters, these lines have been rather small in scope and depth. That said […]

Marauder Stormtrooper Rifle
I normally expound about the virtues of Marauder’s GI Joe weapons. However, they produce a number of “Sci-Fi” guns, including a Stormtrooper rifle. I want to say right up front the reason I picked a few of these up was vintage nostalgia for my 3-Position Laser Rifle. While I never had a role-play lightsaber as […]
Name That…Snork
A friend of mine is heading to Jamaica in a couple weeks. This made me think of him.
Mickey Mouse (Vinyl Figure)
My birthday is one week after the opening Walt Disney World. Ironically, when WDW turned 25, I turned 25, etc.. So, I feel a small connection to Mickey and Co. It doesn’t hurt their Imagineers do some pretty cool stuff. When I was much younger, my Dad was stationed in Jacksonville, Florida with the Air […]
