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. […]

Lego Landshark

Lego Landshark

I love the Lego mini figures of people in crazy suits. Chicken suit dude, Hot Dog Guy, Panda Dude, Bumblebee Girl, Clarence Beeks. Those are the ones I seek out first. Anything else is gravy. So you know when I saw the new series, I’d have to look for the Shark Suit guy. Now I […]

Millennium Falcon Microfighter (LEGO)

Millennium Falcon Microfighter (LEGO)

When it comes to construction block toys, a good rule of thumb is that the smaller the set, the worse the coin-to pieces ratio is.

Sheldon Cooper

Love it or hate, The Big Bang Theory has become insanely popular in our culture. While a swarm of merchandise is out there. most is for the masses and not really toy collectors. Which is a bit ironic considering the amount of swag the gang owns. Funko is helping out there with it’s BBT Mystery […]

Medusa (Lego)

Medusa (Lego)

In grade school, we studied mythology in one of my classes. All sorts of mythology from Norse to Greek. I remember during that time begging my parents to take me over to my public library to find books on Greek myths. (I was geeky even back then.) Around the same time Clash of the Titans […]

Bumblebee Girl

Bumblebee Girl

Lego has served up some great minifigures again in Series 10 of their blind bags. I really don’t have hope of finding a Mister Gold, but that really doesn’t bother me. I was in the store feeling through a bunch of bags looking for Medusa’s tail and was striking out. However, I did feel something […]

Lego Gandalf Polybag

Lego Gandalf Polybag

I have to hand it to Lego. They’ve realized that there are a group of collectors out there primarily interested in the minifigures and have given us ways to get primary characters without having to buy a huge set. This Gandalf came poly bagged around Easter and didn’t hang around too long. Gandalf is much […]

Rock & Roll (GI Joe Kreo)

Rock & Roll (GI Joe Kreo)

I know everybody wanted GI Joe Lego. A quick image search will yield a number of custom creations out there. However, Hasbro wouldn’t want to license somebody to do that when they have their own Kreo building block line. I want to say up front the character choice show this line was created by fans of the […]

The Mummy (Lego Monster Fighters)

The Mummy (Lego Monster Fighters)

I’d passed this Lego set up a couple times. I knew I’d get it eventually, though. Lego and a Mummy? How could I pass it up? The Mummy is a generic mummy in this case. With glowing red eyes, this standard minifigure has risen from a pile of bricks to terrorize the night. As always, […]

Riddles for the Ring Lego Set

Riddles for the Ring Lego Set

I love Lego. However, since they aren’t the main focus of my collection, I tend to stay away except for the occasional clearaence item or the blind bagged minifigures. I was extremely happy when I saw this set was coming and nabbed it the first time I saw it. This is the Riddles for the […]

Marvel Heroics

Marvel Heroics

I’m a sucker for items on clearance. Normally, a clear head will prevail.  Mark something down though and I can’t resist. Similar to the tale I told on Episode 37 of the Action Figure Blues Podcast,  I picked up a couple of the Marvel Heroics capsules at the same drug store. At 50 cents, I […]

Clarence Beeks

Clarence Beeks

One of my favorite comedy movies of all time is “Trading Places” with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. It just screams 80’s buddy comedy to me. So I thought it was really great to see we are finally getting toys from this film. Taken from one of his last scenes in the film, this is […]
