Ares (Collect and Connect)

Ares (Collect and Connect)

It is a deviously crafty move on the part of Mattel to make the main antagonist from the successful Wonder Woman movie available as the Collect & Connect bonus figure in the corresponding DC Multiverse assortment,

Wonder Woman (with Cloak)

Wonder Woman (with Cloak)

So, Wonder Woman. A surprisingly good movie released by Warner in 2017 and of course, Mattel has the license to make toys based on this movie.

Queen Hippolyta

Queen Hippolyta

Hippolyta is a major character at the beginning of the film as played by actress Connie Nielsen, and this action figure depicts her in a very regal outfit consisting mostly of a long cloak worn over a very ornate suit of Amazonian armor.

Diana of Themyscira (Wonder Woman)

Diana of Themyscira (Wonder Woman)

Mattel produced this Diana of Themyscira action figure to go with the 2017 Wonder Woman movie line as part of the DC Multiverse collection.

Steve Trevor

Steve Trevor

I find it odd that after decades of hearing from toy makers that action figures based on female characters don’t sell as well as those based on male characters, Mattel decided to go for an almost entirely female selection for the Wonder Woman movie wave within the DC Multiverse line.

Lil Bombshells Hawkgirl

Lil Bombshells Hawkgirl

So, I was maybe a little luke warm on Harley Quinn in this line. I had a slow week toy hunting, and bought a second blind can. I got Hawkgirl. Now, I really like the Hawkgirl Bombshell statue. She’s exudes a lot of fun. To start with the scale and style match Harley. You can […]

Lil’ Bombshells Harley Quinn

Lil’ Bombshells Harley Quinn

You may have heard me review on Harley on Episode 232 of the Action Figure Blues podcast. Obviously, this will be similar, but with pictures. The Lil’ Bombshells are a vinyl mini figure take on very popular Bombshell property. I’ve came very close to getting some of the statues, but I’m not really a statue guy. […]

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)

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.

Wonder Woman & Superman (Imaginext)

Wonder Woman & Superman (Imaginext)

A thing that has been somewhat absent from the Imaginext line is female characters, but that also seems to be changing nowadays. Case in point, the other day at the store I found a 2-pack set of figures that includes Superman and Wonder Woman.

And The Winner Is….

And The Winner Is….

Well. It’s all over. You have voted and the winner is…Superman. I’m not really surprised, but I really thought Batman was going to win this one. It was close, for the longest time it was deadlocked at 50/50. Just a testament to the fans of both heroes. In retrospect, I’m glad to see Supes on […]

Marvel Vs DC Hero Bracket -Round 4 Voting Open!

Marvel Vs DC Hero Bracket -Round 4 Voting Open!

It amazes me how much tougher this is getting. Round three saw one of the bigger Marvel Heroes eliminated by another Marvel Hero when Rouge squeaked by to take out Wolverine. Death of Wolverine is out right now isn’t it? Green Lantern managed to take down Silver Surfer in the cosmic battle. All of this has […]

Marvel Vs. DC Hero Bracket – Round 3 Voting Open!

Marvel Vs. DC Hero Bracket – Round 3 Voting Open!

This just keeps getting harder. For starter, Batman continues to be a powerhouse. Aquaman received no votes against the Dark Knight and was sunk. Also, Thor pound Lobo. And Wonder Woman won all of the votes against Elektra. The one that surprised me was Nightcrawler defeating Punisher. It was a bit even than Nightcrawler pulled […]

Marvel Vs. DC On Screen Heroes Bracket – Round 2 Voting Open!

I have already reviewed Aquaman and I was quite impressed with him but: What about Black Adam? Well, read all about it in today’s review.

Joker DC Mystery Mini Vinyl Figure Review

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 […]

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 […]
