Engineernerd’s Top 5 Universal Monsters

Engineernerd’s Top 5 Universal Monsters

So my friend I See Robots (ISR) put out a recent episode of the Toys R Us Report Podcast with his Top 5 Universal Monsters. Now, by now, ISR realizes I will always have a different opinion of his top five lists. Maybe it’s Midwest vs West Coast. I think we know we are going […]

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.

Marvel Legends Walgreen’s Punisher

Marvel Legends Walgreen’s Punisher

Truth be told. I should have wrote this before I opened the One:12 Collective Punisher. I didn’t. I’m sorry for that, because they are the same scale there I want to compare them. Which really isn’t fair since there is a 3x price differential.  What I do like about this figure is that it is […]
