Anakin Skywalker

Anakin Skywalker

Well, as you may recall, back when Hasbro announced a new action figure line devoted to the then new CGI Clone Wars show, one question that popped up every now and then was if there would be figures made from the characters in the show, done in the realistic style.

Summer of GI Joe Contest Part 3

Okay, so GI Joe is taking the summer off. The Joes and Cobras are doing some of those mundane things that we all do during the summer. To soothe your angst, Figure of the Day is sponsoring another TVFT caption contest! The prize? Well, Joes of course! There’s nothing better than winning free figures. Maybe […]

Well, once I got over the articulation hurdle, I began getting more of the Avengers movie line figures by hasbro, with yet another Thor at the forefront.

Jabba The Hutt Statuette

Jabba The Hutt Statuette

I know, I don’t normally review statues. But, this one of the few that I have. Well, two that I have. This is an Applause statue of Jabba and Leia done in faux bronze. I know these days most of these types of statues come painted. Honestly though, I kind of like the bronze tone. […]

This shadow reminds me of The Doctor. I’m not sure why.

Marvel’s Hawkeye

Marvel’s Hawkeye

I wasn’t really expecting to see more of Hasbro’s Avengers line locally. I mean, the things seem to sell at a steady, albeit slow pace, but in my experience the stores in my city rarely order anything after the first wave of movie-related figures up until Christmas. With that in mind, it was very surprising to find Marvel’s Hawkeye hanging there on a peg the last time I went grocery shopping.

Clone Commander Cody (CW7)

Clone Commander Cody (CW7)

It has been quite some time since I bought (or even found) any Clone Wars figure. With Hasbro’s resources stretched thin between all of their lines in production, in 2012 we are not getting as much Clone Wars product as last year and some of the figures shipping in 2012 are re-issued from last year.

Android 2-Pack (SDCC 2012 Exclusive)

As far as phones go, I can’t bring myself to drink the fruit juice. I have an Android phone I love.  So it made sense when I found a vinyl figure of the cute little mascot for Google’s operating system, that I would pick it up. That turned out to be a dangerous path, since […]

Iron Man (Classic Comic)

Iron Man (Classic Comic)

Since I’ve been playing Avengers Alliance on Facebook, I’ve had desire to add some comic style figure to fill out some of my Marvel lines. Since Iron Man figures are still fairly available on clearance round these parts I picked up a comic version of Iron Man. Appearance: Right up front the thing that drew […]
