Conrad “Duke” Hauser (Reactive Impact Armor)
After getting the previous version of Duke (the Desert Ambush version), I was not too interested on picking up this one too, but after seeing it in person, I decided to take the plunge and get it.
Storm Shadow (Paris Pursuit)
Hasbro released the Storm Shadow (Paris Pursuit) figure in 2009 as part of the second wave of figures from the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra line, based on the appearance of the character in the motion picture of the same name.
Cobra Elite Viper
As of this writing, I haven’t watched “GI Joe: Rise of Cobra” yet. I will, I just haven’t had a chance yet. Overall, the movie line of GI Joe figures has grown on me. However, the nearest Wal-Mart reduced their prices on the standard figures to $6. That makes me like them a whole lot […]
Deluxe Deadpool with Missile Cannon
Hasbro released Deadpool with Missile Launcher Cannon in 2009 as part of the Deluxe assortment of toys based on the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. This release is based on his comic appearance and includes a big accessory for the figure. Deadpool is a character first introduced as a villain in X-Force #98, but proved popular enough […]
Conrad “Duke” Hauser (Desert Ambush)
I’m really excited to introduce this guest review. Errex is a long time TVFT forum contributor with a pretty extensive collection. Kicking off what I hope will be a great series of reviews, Errex is showing off the Desert Ambush Duke from GI Joe: Rise of Cobra. Take it away: Right off the bat, I […]
GI Joe Pit Commando
If you have read any of my other GI Joe reviews, you would know I’m a sucker for accessories. Frequently, my selection revolves around how full a blister is rather that the exact Joe character. Stalker was a cool dude, but a single rifle on the card didn’t appeal to me. The Baroness figure from […]
Return of the Jedi Poster Offer
I’ve said it before I love mail away stuff. That said, it kind of surprised me the other day when this turned up in a box I was rumaging through. I’m sure I had the proofs of purchase for it. Two proof seems a lot for a fairly cheesey poster. Maybe even then I realized […]
International Bonus Battle Droids
With all the mentions lately of Episode 1, I thought it would be fun to dust this guy off. Mrs. Nerd had picked this card up at a local comic shop for me. It’s a European E1 realease Destroyer Droid with a bonus Battle Droid. Her thought was I could use it as an army […]
Indiana Jones Crystal Skeleton
“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”(KOTCS) was released last year to less than enthusiastic reviews by both fans and critics. The plot revolved around crystal skulls, Mayan end of the world predictions, and aliens. There are several crystal skulls in the world that folks have varying degrees of thought on. The ones […]
Ugnaught
Ugnaughts are one of the creepier creatures from the original Star Wars trilogy. First appearing in “The Empire Strikes Back,” they seem to fill the municipal maintenance functions and act as general laborers. I was never certain of their alliances, though. They play monkey in the middle with C-3PO’s head against Chewbacca. Then they assist […]
Baroness – GI Joe: Rise of Cobra
Normally, collectibles on this site are based on films and TV shows. This summer we are getting a big screen version of GI Joe. The film version is based on the Real American Hero (RAH) animated series from the early eighties. That series was based on Hasbro’s line of action figures. And you know there […]
Wioslea
In order to raise money for chartering the Millenium Falcon, Luke Skywalker was forced to sell his landspeeder at a used speed dealer in Mos Eisley. The speeder dealer was a large bug headed creature that we only glimpse from a distance. Other than the huge melon, I couldn’t tell you much about the dealer. […]
Dr. Henry Jones
1989 saw Indiana Jones return to the silver screen for the third time. “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” put Indy in situations reminiscent of the first film. He was fighting Nazi’s, searching for a Christian relic, visited his students, etc… The big twist in this film was the introduction of his father, Henry Jones, Senior. For the 5 people […]
Monkey Man
Indiana Jones coming back to the big screen has given Hasbro a reason to give us new Raider’s figures. If you’ve visited the site before, you’ll know that I’m a pretty big fan of the vintage Kenner Indiana Jones line. I will say that I don’t have a complete collection. I don’t have a complete Well of Souls or Ceremonial […]
Sallah
One of the key things to being an action hero is you can’t do it alone. Han Solo has Chewbacca, the Lone Ranger has Tonto, and Indiana Jones has Sallah. Without Sallah, Indy would have never found the German dig site or had enough help to get the Ark out of the Well of Souls. When he needed help […]
German Soldier 2-Pack
Army building action figures seems to have became more popular in the last ten years. As a kid, I was always torn between, should I get Bespin Luke or another Snowtrooper? Hmmmm, Bespin Luke it is. The vintage Indiana Jones line suffered from a worse problem. There was no army to build. There was figure of Indy in […]
Temple Trap Indiana Jones
I’ve mentioned it several times before, Raiders of the Lost Ark is probably my number one favorite film of all time. I was pretty excited to hear about the Indy new film, and the promise offigures from it. To hear that Hasbro was going to go retro and make figures from some of the past films as well, was […]
Grail Knight
Indiana Jones returned to the big screen after a hiatus in 1989. This time the McGuffin was the holy grail of all relics, the Holy Grail. There have been numerous films and TV shows that have mentioned the Grail. Spock went “In Search Of” it. Monty Python went skipping through the English country side to look for it. Dan […]
Adventure Heroes Sallah & Mummy
As a big Indy fan, Indiana Jones Stunt show at MGM Studios at Disney World was a must see for me. I actually had went twice on one visit, one once on another visit. One of these visits was very special, though. I got picked from the audience to become part of the show. I don’t get picked for anything. Not […]
CZ-4
The Star Wars universe is intended to have a lived in look. I think with all the pretty white clone armor and Imperial hardware we’ve seen in recent years it’s easy to over look that. The rest of the universe is worn, used, frayed, etc… The harsh environment of Tatooine is a great weathering agent on its’ inhabitants and […]
