Gambit (Marvel Select)
If you have read any of my past Marvel reviews, you may have guessed I was a Gambit fan. I’ve reviewed the older Toy Biz Gambit and the Minimates version previously. So it should be no surprise when Figure of the Day offered the Marvel Select one, I’d snap him up. Appearance: This is full […]
Rex (Space Outfit)
Out of all of the Toy Story characters, Rex is my favorite. Dress him up as an astronaut, and he’s even more awesome. I don’t have a large Toy Story collection. Really, it consists mainly of real world scale versions of the characters. However, Rex being my favorite, has caused me to collect multiple versions […]
GI Joe Targets
I haven’t done as much creative stuff lately, so I thought I’d stretch those skills a bit. I haven’t made a GI Joe Diorama, yet. I was actually thinking a shooting range would be cool. (I was on the rifle team in High School.) One hint: I punched the holes through with a very sharp object with […]
Whip It, Whip It Good….Or Bad
Okay. I know Whiplash came out last year. I’ve put off writing this review for a long time. So long in fact Errex wrote one in the mean time. So as an experiment, I wrote mine without reading his. And, some things we agree on and some things we don’t. So, we are presenting both […]
Whiplash – Iron Man 2
I’ve been putting off writing this for almost a year. Why? Well hopefully by the end you will know. Whiplash is one of just a couple of figures in the Iron Man line with a human face. And I think we can be glad that number is limited. Appearance: Have you ever been really excited […]
Qui-Gon Jinn & Eopie
With all the up coming hype for Star Wars Episode 1 in 3D, I’m hoping we see some Qui Gon love. In the mean time, I guess I’ll tide myself over with this. From last year, this Qui Gon & Eopie was a mail away to fill a gap in some collectors collections. If my […]
Cobra Viper
Where the standard Cobra Trooper is more of a facility guard type soldier, the Viper appears to be more front line infantry. And this figure is a pretty cool update to a the classic look. Appearance: The head of the classic Viper is probably the most distinctive part of his uniform and this is a […]
C-3PO Switcheroo
When most folks say they collect Star Wars, I think most people immediately think action figures. However, the back of those mini catalogs were filled with items that few folks remember or have seen. One of my favorites is something that was on the wall of my room for a long time, the C-3PO Switcheroo. Kenner produced […]
Snow Job (Pursuit of Cobra)
As much as I was impressed with the vintage Snow Job being an “Adventure on a Blister Card,” the Pursuit of Cobra version of the arctic GI Joe amps it up a bit more. As with most of the line, he comes with pretty decent amount of a gear and is a good character […]
Geeks For Tots!
Monday is normally reserved for reviews and discussion of Superheroes. However, we’re coming up on the time of year when us mere mortals can step up and be heroes. Most of us spend the year tracking down the most elusive action figures and toys to make ourselves happy, but by giving toys up, we can make […]
Landspeeder (Vintage Die Cast)
I think it’s easy to forget that Star Wars was the first licensed toy line to really take off with action figures. Because of that, I don’t think Kenner really knew what would hit. That is why the early days included Play Doh, vans, role play items, etc. One of the more unique lines from the early Kenner […]
Snow Job (Vintage)
Yes, I’m aware most of you were expecting to read a Black Dragon review this week. Well, I wasn’t happy with the pictures. It will be soon, though. So instead I put this vintage Joe review together as penance. As much as I didn’t like my Black Dragon pictures, I really don’t like taking pictures of […]
