Name That…Mechish Shadow

I’ll have to review this figure someday. I’m not sure people will really believe this one.

Grunt (GI Joe Falcon Glider Version)

Grunt (GI Joe Falcon Glider Version)

Grunt was one of the original straight arm GI Joe figures. Out of the that group he was the one that was probably most like a generic soldier. I also remember passing on him as a kid due to accessory math. The thing that lost it for him? No visor. Grunt was recolored and used […]

X-Men Minimate DVD 4-Pack (Part 2)

X-Men Minimate DVD 4-Pack (Part 2)

Last time I reviewed Cyclops & Juggernaut. This time I’m taking a look at the other half of the X-men: Darktide Marvel Minimates 4-pack, Logan and Magneto. I thought it was an appropriate pairing, since these two have had their clashes over the years. Logan: I’m calling him Logan here because thats what the package calls him. […]

X-Men Minimate DVD 4-Pack (Part 1)

This is one of those things I’ve had for a lonnnngggg time and never quite got around to reviewing. In the first of 2 parts, I’m taking a look at two of the figures from the Marvel Minimates X-Men DVD 4 pack. This one came from Toys R Us along with a DVD of X-Men: […]

Name That…Heroic Dude

People will be surprised by this one, as it isn’t something that I would normally use for this game.

Name That…Caped Crusader (Part 2)

No, it’s probably not the hero typically called the Caped Crusader.

Name That…Mutant Frog

This shadow reminds me of the mutant frog in Hellboy with the water in his head.

Cobra Commander

Cobra Commander

I really feel bad for Cobra Commander. In the animated series, he came off as being something of a boob. If you consider he’s put him self in a position to lead an army to take over the world, I can’t see how that could be true. And this army exists under the nose of a bunch […]

Name That…Angry Chef

Name That…Angry Chef

No it’s not Gordon from Hell’s Kitchen. Kind of surprised he doesn’t have an action figure, though.

Anakin Skywalker

Anakin Skywalker

I’m not going to get to far into the issue at hand with this figure. This figure represents Anakin in Return of the Jedi before his digital replacement. No matter which side of that fence you are on, this figure came out at a time before the technology for  digital replacement was born. Appearance: Anakin […]

Iron Man Mark 1 – Iron Man 2 (Comic Version)

Iron Man Mark 1 – Iron Man 2 (Comic Version)

This wasn’t a figure I had planned on getting. If anything, I planned on getting the movie version. However, after finishing Essential Iron Man Volume 1, I changed my mind. I’d never really been an Iron Man fan. I’d be lying if I said the movie didn’t have anything to do with it. Of course, […]

Admiral Ackbar

Admiral Ackbar

You know in the last few years it seems Admiral Ackbar has been gaining in popularity. I don’t know if it’s people finally are seeing him has a brilliant strategist or Sheldon Cooper’s excellent mimicry. I’m glad for the aquatic admiral. I have to say I’ve always kind of liked Ackbar. He’s one of the […]

Name That…Big Dude

Name That…Big Dude

This is probably going to be the hardest shadow yet. It’s a fairly well known character, but this version isn’t by one of the big companies.
