I've been collecting action figures since the original Kenner Star Wars days. Nowadays, I still collect pretty much anything that catches my eye.

Darth Plagueis is one of the few remaining dark lords in the Star Wars mythos, and he had an action figure release in the 1/18 scale segment of the Star Wars Black Series.

Stormtrooper (Black Series, 1/18 scale)

Stormtrooper (Black Series, 1/18 scale)

  Even if you only bought one of each figure released in the Hasbro Star Wars lines, chances are you already have a pretty sizeable number of plain Stormtroopers in your collection.   And still, when Hasbro announced that they would add yet another of these troopers to the first few waves of the 1/18 […]

Luke Skywalker (Yavin Ceremony)

Luke Skywalker (Yavin Ceremony)

We had already gotten at least a couple of versions of Luke in his ceremonial garment, one from the Power of the Force line and another not too long ago from the Legacy Collection

Rappel Fighter (Call of Duty)

This is one of the sets from Mega Bloks’ Call of Duty collection that immediately caught my eye when I found it at stores.

Vizam

Vizam

Vizam was released in the 3.75-inch scale Star Wars Black Series and he is yet another of the nikto gunners we see in Return of the Jedi.

Juggernaut (Call of Duty)

Juggernaut (Call of Duty)

  One popular play mode in most modern First Person Shooter games is “Juggernaut”. You can find it implemented in the Halo and Call of Duty games, although it is also featured in many other game series.   Mega Bloks decided to offer a small set loosely inspired by this game mode in their 2014 […]

Luminara Unduli

Luminara Unduli

A good number of the 3.75-inch action figures we are getting from the first few waves in the current Star Wars Black Series are actually designs that were to be released originally for the Star Wars Vintage Collection by Hasbro.

41st Elite Clone Trooper

41st Elite Clone Trooper

The 41st Elite Clone Trooper uses the same basic body mold updated for the Vintage Collection, paired with a Phase II helmet. So far, so good, as the details sculpted onto the armor looks sharp and the articulation is really excellent.

Clone Commander Neyo

Clone Commander Neyo

Do you know which unique character from the 3.75-inch Star Wars Black Series shares a lot of pieces with two other figures released in the same wave?

Théodred

Théodred

Today’s review is about another of those characters whose selection points to Toy Biz running out of ideas for their Lord of the Rings line, back in 2005.

Mace Windu (CW20)

Mace Windu (CW20)

On one of my trips downtown I found this figure of Jedi Master Mace Windu (CW20), released a couple of years ago in Hasbro’s Clone Wars line.

Sméagol (Stoor Fisherman)

Sméagol (Stoor Fisherman)

Back in 2004, Toy Biz took a page from Hasbro’s playbook and started to produce action figures from characters seen only briefly in the Lord of the Rings movies.

Jon Snow

Jon Snow

Even though I am an avid follower of the Game of Thrones TV series, truth is I never intended to start buying Funko’s Game of Thrones Legacy Collection figures. However, bumping into them with a nice discount usually tips the scale in their favor.

Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion Lannister

One of the more enthralling characters from the Song of Fire and Ice books, and by extension, the Game of Thrones TV series, is Tyrion Lannister.

Groot

Groot

For me, one of the things that made this Groot figure so attractive is the fact that it can be used to serve a wide number of roles, either as a generic Ent, a Forest Elemental or simply as a really big Groot to go along my Marvel Universe figures.

White Walker

White Walker

The undead are getting a lot of coverage in media in recent years, thanks in no small part to the groundbreaking visual effects featured in movies and TV series.

Star-Lord

Star-Lord

To round up the reviews for the regular figures from Hasbro’s Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends Infinite Series, today I bring you none other than the main hero, the infamous (in his own mind, at least): Star-Lord!

Clone Pilot ( Phase I Armor)

Clone Pilot ( Phase I Armor)

One of my favorite action figure molds in the modern Star Wars lines is that of the super articulated Clone Trooper, released by Hasbro way back in 2005 during the heyday of the Revenge of the Sith line.

Gamora

Gamora

Gamora is yet another action figure based on the movie design seen in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Rocket Raccoon

Rocket Raccoon

One thing from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie trailer that really struck me as completely bizarre was seeing the CGI Rocket Raccoon being such a bad-ass. Right there I knew that Hasbro had to make toys of that character and that I would buy them, no questions asked.
