Rubber Ducky, You’re the One!

Rubber Ducky, You’re the One!

It’s not Ernie’s little yellow buddy. This duck actually had specific purpose in the film he was in.

Parrot Head

Parrot Head

Does he really have a parrot for a head? Probably not, but see I’m a Buffett Fan and couldn’t resist the title when the shadow turned out like that…(Errex, yes it is the figure you think it is.)

Iron Man Mark VI – Iron Man 2

Iron Man Mark VI – Iron Man 2

This was actually one of the first of the Iron Man 2 figures I bought. Why did I wait so long to review it? Well, I really wanted to wait until I saw the film to understand if there was really anything different in this suit.

Shadow Hitcher

No, he’s not really a hitchhiker. I just couldn’t think of anything else except a Fonz joke.

I can think of a few places this little gem could have came from. However, the source of this little treaded wonder will probably surprise a few folks.

Human Target – The Series

Human Target – The Series

I wish I had written this a couple weeks ago. The season finale of  “Human Target” was on Fox already, and I just didn’t quite get my thoughts together in time. I will say that “Human Target” surprised me by being my favorite new show of the year. You will notice that this article is […]

O-ring You Glad?

O-ring You Glad?

I think it’s obvious this is an o-ring era figure. But there are a bunch of them it could be.

TVFT’s Name That…Rocket Pack

Ever since Buck Rogers took off to the skies on the radio, jet packs have had a place in fans hearts. James Bond even used one. But who used this one? (I know who’s it looks like, but…..)

Don’t Play Games with Your Money, Get the Clinch Wallet

It’s not very often that I get to help my wife with her website. She’s very self-sufficient, and way smarter about the things she works on than I am. That being said, I was really excited when she asked if I could do a review for her. Turns out this one was a guy thing. […]
