Engineernerd’s Review of Shutter Island
Mrs. Nerd and I did a surprising thing last week. We actually went to the theater to see a movie. It’s not that we don’t like going to the theater. It just seems like we always have a full DVR and a stack of DVD’s at home to watch. And watching a movie at home […]
Book ’em, Dano
Yeah, it looks like a Bible. Or is it a mystical tome on slaying vampires? Or something else entirely?
Binaltech: Bumblebee Knock Off
Bumblebee is one of the smallest and physically weakest Autobot. While his stature allows him to do his job better than most Autobots could manage, he is self-conscious about his size. Maybe this is why he makes fast friends among the humans. He looks up (so to speak) to the other Autobots, especially Optimus Prime, but what he doesn’t realize is that they look up to him. He may be small, but he’s brave, an he’s one of the most well-liked Autobots around. Bumlebee already has the respect he craves

Give That Shadow a Hand (or Two)
There have been a number of multi armed characters in the entertainment world. Which one is this?
Ice Up a Cold One
Readers of this site will find this one easy, I think. I know the figure it came with shows up elsewhere on the site.
Jestergoblin’s Star Wars Blue Milk Recipe
I’ve been following Jestergoblin on Twitter for awhile now. I have to say the commingling of recipes and toy reviews on his site (http://jestergoblin.com/) is a change of pace for the norm. But as a Food Network and toy junkie, I have to say it’s a combination I enjoy. Now he’s amped that up by creating a […]
Hatchet Man
This one is stretching the TVFT name. More of a character seen in movies than from any particular film.
But I Ordered the Calamari
My guess would be this came from some sort of Lovecraft inspired figure. No pressure, but Mrs. Nerd got this one on her second guess.
Is That a Disco Leaf Blower?
Is this a hyper powered leaf blower? Or a squid calling for the check at a restaurant?
Show Me the Money
Yeah. That line is best know for being from “Jerry McGuire”. This accessory is not from that film.
Shrek Gingerbread Man Playset
As with much of the current world, the “collectible” world has seen a rise in prices while companies have sought out ways to make things cheaper. Paint ops, articulation and accessories lead the way when it comes to cost cutting measures. McFarlane Toys used to be at the top of the pyramid for what fans […]
Engineernerd’s Top 10 Creepy Movies
I love scary movies. I’m not that much for over the top gore just to be gross. But I do love a movie that is a just plain good scare. Maybe it’s because my birthday and Halloween share the same month. 1. Phantom of the Opera (Lon Chaney). I know it’s a silent film. But […]
A Shadow of Mrs. Nerd
This character reminds me of Mrs. Nerd. Which is appropriate, since it’s her birthday.
Virtual Custom “Lost” Palz
Back when the Palisades was still around I started picking up a few of their “Palz” figures. Mainly the Die Hard ones, but a few X-Files and Buffy as well. That led me to create “Virtual Custom” Palz. The main ones were for the series “Lost”. Keep in mind, I did these back in 2005-2006, […]
OMG What is That Shadow?
The shadow for this figure turned out to be a little tougher than I expected. And I expected it to be tough. And yes, this really is a shadow of an action figure.
Shipwreck GI Joe Rise of Cobra
Shipwreck is one of the characters I was really surprised didn’t make the cut for GI Joe: Rise of Cobra. His snarky attitude made him a fan favorite in the animated and comic book versions of Joe. (Flash was the other one I was expecting to see in action in the film.) While the vintage […]
Playing With Fire (Part 2)
We’re really cooking with fire now. Can you name this fire accessory or is the yolk on you?
5 Things I Hope Season 6 of “Lost” Answers
Mrs. Nerd and I have watched “Lost” since the premier episode. We got sucked into the story just like that guy standing in front of the jet engine in that episode. We have been watched our favorite characters delve deeper into the mysteries of the Dharma Initiative, island, and the other castaways. With the fifth season […]
