Name That…Gun
Everybody will know the character that carries this weapon. But where did this particular one come from?
Star Wars POTF2 Mail Away Poster
‘m sure it was one of those send in x number of proofs of purchase and we’ll send you a poster. I’ll bet I had more than enough at the time this was released to send for it.
Captain Kirk & Yeoman Rand Minimates
This Minimate set is Captain Kirk and Yeoman Rand from “The Trouble with Tribbles.” Ironically, IMDB doesn’t list Grace Lee Whitney in Tribbles.
TRU Attack on the Pit Headquarters GI Joe Battle Pack (Part 3)
Finally, part three of three of my review of this “Attack on the Pit” battle pack. And I have saved the best, or at least the more unique pieces for last. The first is the main piece of the set, the molepod. The set is built on the movie scene where Cobra uses molepods to […]
Wolverine (Marvel Legends)
Every once in a while, I see I figure and have a idea for something that causes me to want to get it. In this case, it was two ideas. Back when I started TVFT, each page was it’s own file and edited the home page by hand. Don’t judge me, it worked […]
What Podcasts Does Engineernerd Listen To?
I realized that the with a long commute, I had plenty of time for other stuff, as well. I downloaded the Google Listen App for my Android phone and tried out a bunch of podcasts.
Name That…Mechish Shadow
I’ll have to review this figure someday. I’m not sure people will really believe this one.
TRU Attack on the Pit Headquarters GI Joe Battle Pack (Part 2)
Last time I checked out the “Good Guys” of this set, Duke and Ripcord. Facing off against them are a NeoViper and Neo Viper Officer. And they are the subject of this weeks, GI Joe review. Probably one of the harder things for me to accept in GI Joe: Rise of Cobra were the Vipers. Not […]
Name That…Crisp & Clean
I wish they would bring those 7-UP commercials back. You know the drill, name the accessory.
Guardian (Toy Biz ToyFare Exclusive)
Years later when ToyFare offered an exclusive figure of Guardian in 1998, you know I couldn’t pass it up. Mailed in a plain white box, this Canadian hero is one of very few superhero figures in my collection.
Harry Potter Bust Up
This is one of those things I’ve had for awhile and just never got around to reviewing. I figured with the DVD for the latest film coming was reason enough to take a look at it. It also doesn’t hurt that the Borders I got this exclusive at is now closing. Gentle Giant’s Bust Ups […]
Name That…Spikey Head
I’m this will be easy. Fairly sure. Well. You people tell me. Do you even read these or just look at the pictures?
TRU Attack on the Pit Headquarters GI Joe Battle Pack (Part 1)
Love it or hate it, “GI Joe: Rise of Cobra” brought a bunch of new figures to collectors. Because of the realistic nature of the film, most of the figures took on a more realistic look as well. The two Joe team members we live the film through are Duke and Ripcord. I’m sure they […]
Name That…Duct Tape Construct
What is it? Well, that would be telling. It appears like it might be made from duct tape, but maybe not.
Grunt (GI Joe Falcon Glider Version)
Grunt was one of the original straight arm GI Joe figures. Out of the that group he was the one that was probably most like a generic soldier. I also remember passing on him as a kid due to accessory math. The thing that lost it for him? No visor. Grunt was recolored and used […]
X-Men Minimate DVD 4-Pack (Part 2)
Last time I reviewed Cyclops & Juggernaut. This time I’m taking a look at the other half of the X-men: Darktide Marvel Minimates 4-pack, Logan and Magneto. I thought it was an appropriate pairing, since these two have had their clashes over the years. Logan: I’m calling him Logan here because thats what the package calls him. […]
