Marvel Now! Hulk
One of the figures I was keenly interested from the new 3.75-inch scale Marvel Infinite Series was this latest iteration of Hulk.
Watcher (Halo 4)
One of the figures released in Series 1 of McFarlane Toys Halo 4 line was the Promethean Watcher, which I’ll be reviewing today.
Name That…Not ACDC
No this is not a school boy uniformed guitar player. Even though this shadow has his legs.
Grim Reaper
It is no secret that a good number of my action figure purchases are directly inspired by the video games I indulge upon.
Mara Jade
Even though Black Series Mara Jade is still a pretty decent action figure, it is also the first Star Wars figure I have ever bought, whose purchase owes more to external reasons than to the actual merits of the figure.
Elite Ranger (Halo 4)
In Halo 4 all of the Covenant troop types got a facelift to make them more “modern” therefore, the action figures manufactured by McFarlane Toys also reflect the new aesthetic.
Hyperion (Infinite Series)
I am not a fan of the Hyperion character. I’ve already bought the 6-inch Marvel Legends figure that came out with the Hit Monkey wave mostly because of the Build-A Figure parts, but I was certainly was not expecting to see a 4-inch version of that character anytime soon.

Halo 4 Master Chief (Series 2)
One thing McFarlane Toys does regularly with their Halo lines, is re-issuing Spartan action figures as much as they can. This holds true also for Halo 4, where for Series 2 we get treated to yet another release of the Master Chief in his more recent set of armor.
Name That. .Rocket Engine
This appears to be a small rocket engine. Of course, you know that means it probably isn’t.
Sabretooth (Marvel Legends)
This version of X-Men baddie Sabretooth is another of those based off the Hyperion body mold, which is suitably bulky and tall. Sabretooth is massively muscular, and this particular version of his costume lacks any of the furry bits usually associated with the character.

Jason Vorhees (Battle Damaged)
This 7-inch figure was manufactured by NECA for their Friday the 13th license, and depicts Jason as he appeared in the fourth movie in the series.
Name That…Plain Dude
Just a dude. Well, no action figure is just a dude. Unless it’s the Big Lebowski, but then it would be “The Dude.”
