Kotobukiya ArtFX Super Powers Wonder Woman

Kotobukiya ArtFX Super Powers Wonder Woman

Okay, here’s the deal. I’m not a Wonder Woman fan. I don’t hate the character, I just don’t know anything about her. I know the basics, I’ve just never really been exposed to many of her stories. Did I watch the Lynda Carter show back…? Well, you know when. Of course, I did. Since then […]

Robin Mystery Mini

Robin Mystery Mini

A couple of confessions. I didn’t care for most of the Arkham game designs until I started playing the games. Confession two, while I’m a Batman fan, I’ve never been a big fan of Robin. If he’s written well, he’s okay. Most of the time it seems he’s included just to have him there. To […]

Poison Ivy Mystery Mini

Poison Ivy Mystery Mini

I hadn’t given the Arkham series of Mystery Minis much thought until I started playing the games. Now I would have rather had Batman, but Ivy is not the worse thing to pull as a blind box. For the game, Poison Ivy is pretty scantily clad. The majority of her clothing comes from a cropped […]

Selina Kyle Gotham Pop! Vinyl

Selina Kyle Gotham Pop! Vinyl

I know Fox’s Gotham isn’t for all the Batman fans out there. I was skeptical at first, but the show won me over. This is Jim Gordon’s story for the most part. Once you kind of put yourself in an “Elseworlds” frame of mind, you can accept it. It helps that Mrs. Nerd has enjoyed it as […]

Batman – Funko Mystery Mini

Batman – Funko Mystery Mini

It seems like these days, I either buy something like a Figuarts Kamen Rider or something basic like a Mystery Mini. While I like the quality and representations of the SH Figurarts line, Mystery Mini’s are fulfilling my toy hunting desires. This one is no exception. I was standing in line at Wal-Mart and saw […]

Batman (Arkham Origins)

Adding to my Batman action figure collection, today I’ll be talking about the version released in the DC Comics Multiverse line by Mattel, for the game Batman: Arkham Origins.

Joker (Arkham Origins)

The other day, while I was taking some photographs of my recent Batman action figures, it came to me that I don’t had much in terms of enemies for my caped crusaders.

Batman (Arkham Knight)

Batman (Arkham Knight)

The action figure I’m reviewing today was released under the DC Comics Multiverse line, which is aimed to adult collectors, if the spiel in the packaging is to be believed.

Batman w/Underwater Gear (Imaginext)

Batman w/Underwater Gear (Imaginext)

If there is one thing the Imaginext line has no shortage of, it has to be Batman figures. Seriously, you can go shopping all-year round and you will always find at least two versions of the Caped Crusader on the store shelves.

Catwoman w/Catcycle (Imaginext)

Catwoman w/Catcycle (Imaginext)

Given how scarce female characters tend to be in most pre-school lines, I brought this Catwoman w/Bike set home with me and now I’ll review her.

Kotobukiya ArtFX Super Powers Batman

Kotobukiya ArtFX Super Powers Batman

Alright. I don’t buy statues. I have a couple of things in my collection that might be termed statues, but I didn’t think about them that way when I bought them. However, when Scott recently reviewed the Kotobukiya ArtFX Super Powers Superman, Flash and Green Lantern on the Action Figure Blues Podcast. I found my […]

Harley Quinn & Joker (Imaginext)

Harley Quinn & Joker came out in 2014 in the DC Superheroes Imaginext line, and they both are quite interesting figures to look at.

Wasp Predator

Wasp Predator

After getting me some of NECA’s Predator figures and fulfilling my requirement for movie-based designs, I just knew that I would still go back and get some more of these figures even if they were actually non-canonical versions of these alien hunters.

Batman (Mego Pocket Heroes)

Batman (Mego Pocket Heroes)

The Mego Pocket Heroes lines is one of those things in action figure history that you have to wonder about. It mixed DC and Marvel characters in the same 3.75″ scale. Why didn’t this line continue longer? So based on the lighter blue colors and shorter cape, this guy always reminded me of the Super […]

Batman (Caped Crusader)

Batman (Caped Crusader)

For a long time, I’ve avoided buying Batman figures. Most are done in either an animated style or in a scale other than 3 3/4″. I don’t have anything against other scales, just really wanted a Dark Knight that could stand among GI Joe, Hellboy, and Marvel movie figures and not look out of place. […]

Ertl Batmobile & Cocoon

Ertl Batmobile & Cocoon

I love mail away stuff. I think it started when I first saw the ad for a “Rocket Firing Boba Fett.” I’ve collected box tops, proofs of purchase, UPC and Flag Points. From Crystal Skeletons to Star Wars Survival Kits, I’ve sent for a ton of stuff over the years. I came across the subject of this review and thought […]
