Wolverine (Mega Bloks)

Wolverine (Mega Bloks)

Wolverine has become the public face of the X-Men in recent years, so it shouldn’t be surprising to see him in this form. In a classic uniform, this Logan is a standout among the sea of Iron Men in this line so far. Appearance: He’s a block figure. So there’s some caricature at work here. […]

UnderScoopFire & Planned Banter

UnderScoopFire & Planned Banter

I was struck recently when listening to these podcasts back to pack the similarities and contrasts between the two. I really enjoy both of them, and what they have to offer. I’ve been listening to Planned Banter for a while now. You can tell these guys are friends and have really gelled together. Their show covers a […]

Cobra Black Dragon

Cobra Black Dragon

I know. It’s been forever since I reviewed the Black Dragon Pilot. I’ve taken pictures on more than one occasion. They’ve just never been as good as I wanted. Part of the issue stem from the fact, this one of the biggest things I’ve tried to photograph for the site. My background wan’t quite big […]

Name That…Comfy Chair

Name That…Comfy Chair

I like the idea of these kinds of chairs. I just slouch to much for them.

It’s awards season. I thought this would be appropriate.

Cobra Trooper (GI Joe: Renegades)

Cobra Trooper (GI Joe: Renegades)

I’ve reviewed a number of the Renegades over the past few weeks, but what about Cobra? Don’t worry dear reader, Hasbro provided us with a generic style Cobra trooper to face off against those average joes. Appearance: This version of the Cobra Trooper is a little less soldier and a little more security guard. I […]

It’s a snow cone maker.

No, it’s not a Star Wars Figure.

Name That…Manhole Cover

Name That…Manhole Cover

I once interviewed with a company that made manhole covers. I didn’t get the job.

The State of Star Wars & GI Joe Collecting

The State of Star Wars & GI Joe Collecting

When I was listening to my weekly podcasts this week, there was GI Joe in my Star Wars and Star Wars in my GI Joe. At the end of the newest Star Wars Action News, Arnie was seeking feedback on what people saw as the good and the bad in the Star Wars collecting hobby. […]

This shadow looks like a Birdman to me.

Tunnel Rat (GI Joe: Renegades)

Tunnel Rat (GI Joe: Renegades)

Tunnel Rat was the character I was most worried about making a translation from animation to figure. Not only did Hasbro do a great job with him. They gave him a ton of accessories to boot. Appearance: This version of T-Rat is quite a bit more buff than I had pictured him. It’s not unbelievable, he’s […]

Name That…Super Duck

Name That…Super Duck

This shadow turned out to look like it had a duck bill to me. It isn’t a duck.

Scarlet (GI Joe: Renegades)

Scarlet (GI Joe: Renegades)

  I’ve never been a big fan of Scarlet. But her Renegades incarnation has changed my mind. Both the update to her character and her outfit made a lot of sense to me. As such it only makes sense, that she is the first version of the red haired lass to join my GI Joe […]

Thank You!

Thank You!

I really wanted to take a minute at the end of the year and say thanks to all of the great folks that have made this a great year for TV & Film Toys.  Honestly, I’ve had more fun this year than any other since I started the site. And to start off, I can’t […]

Name That…Dancing Bear

Name That…Dancing Bear

We call our dog Madison a dancing bear when she walks on two legs. Which has nothing to do with this.
