Iron Monger (Build A Figure)
Well, completing this Iron Monger figure took a little bit more work than usual. First off, Hasbro released in two separate waves the action figures containing the pieces to build the ‘monger. This would not have been much to think about, except that both half-waves were released about 6 months apart from each other.
Name That…Stiff Figure
This fellow looks really stiff. (If you are looking for a point at the AFB Forum, you will need to name the character and the specific version of the figure it is.)
Classic Iron Man (Iron Man Legends)
Last but not least, I got this classic version of Iron Man, released as part of the Iron Monger wave of figures produced by Hasbro and sold under the Iron Man Legends brand.
Pax Bonkik
Well, it’s been some time since this action figure was released in the Star Wars 30th Anniversary Collection, but it was only recently that I finally got hold of it at a local convention.

Name That…Stick
Okay….this might appear to be the kind of toy you wouldn’t find here. But, it’s not.
Ultron
The subject of today’s review is one of the rare villains that I actually knew a little about from his brief appearance in the Secret Wars story arc, back in the 90’s. I am referring, of course to Ultron; one of the characters released in the second half of action figures in the Iron Man Legends line by Hasbro.
501st Legion Clone Trooper
Well, even though this figure was released sometime last year, Hasbro saw fit to include the 501st Legion Clone Trooper (VC60) in the “Greatest Hits” wave in the now-paused Star Wars Vintage Collection, which recently afforded me the chance to add it to my collection.
Thor (Battle Hammer)
With the second Thor movie a few weeks away from opening at theaters, I still have not found a single merchandise item at local stores. However, I was not entirely denied, as I did acquire and action figure from the previous movie line.
Cosmic Strike Red Skull (Avengers Assemble)
So, after a rather lengthy drought at stores, the new action figures associated to the Avengers Assemble cartoon are finally trickling down at my usual jaunts.
Clone Trooper Hevy
Way back in the first season of the Clone Wars animated series we got introduced to a group of novice group of clones that repelled a Battle Droid invasion on a distant but vital outpost.
Joker DC Mystery Mini Vinyl Figure Review
Mrs. Nerd subscribed me to Nerd Block a couple months ago and the second one struck all the right notes with me. The first thing was a really cool Darth Vader t-shirt. The second was a DC Mystery Mini blind box. While it would have been nice to get a Batman, this Joker wasn’t a […]
Name That…Purple Toothpick
True Fact: When I was a kid colored toothpicks were used in place of Ligthsabers with Star Wars Figures.
Big Time Spider-Man
Big Time Spider-Man was released in the Marvel Legends line as part of the Arnim Zola wave, and he is depicted in a full black suit with bright green lines forming the spider symbol on his chest and running alongside his limbs.
Sweetums
It’s really ironic when I think about it. Yes, you probably know I’m a recovering Star Wars collector. But, the two lines I was really collecting that caused me to create TVFT were The Muppets and World of Springfield Simpsons. Strangely, there aren’t a whole lot of reviews here for either of those. So I […]
