Pursuit of Cobra Dusty Review
By Loran It’s cold. We’re all snowed in-even up here in Massachusetts. So what better way to warm up than with a review of Dusty, the G.I. Joe team’s premier desert specialist? And when I […]

Battle in Saoce Part 2 Cyclonus!
By Loran The second half of the Battle in Space two-pack is Cyclonus, the reformed Bombshell who became Galvatron’s sickeningly loyal right-hand man. Sometimes he can be big enough for the insane leader to pilot […]

Battle in Space Part 1: Rodimus!
By Loran The Transformers 2010/11 toyline/Reveal the Shield series continues, continuing to move away from the movie aesthetic and back into the Classics/Universe/Generations style. This isn’t too bad of an idea, since we’ve got Dark […]

Review: Pursuit of Cobra Ripcord
By Loran Sometimes, toys get canceled. In some cases, it can be a mercy killing. Other times, though, it’s really sad to see that awesome toy we wanted get the axe. But in some rare […]

Review: Transformers Generations Repaint Rumble!
By Loran Like every other Transformers line in history, Generations is chock-full of repaints (well, redecos) and retools. Of course, this got some people’s panties in a twist, but what do you expect? It’s Transformers. […]

Review: Transformers Generations Thunderwing
By Loran Once again, Hasbro dives into the classic Marvel Comics villains for their new toylines. This time, it’s Thunderwing, the insane Matrix-obsessed Decepticon that once came close to taking out Unicron. Like most classic […]

Review: G.I. Joe Jungle Strike Duke
By Loran If there’s one character in G.I. Joe I can’t stand, it’s Duke. Yeah, I know, he’s the leader. But he isn’t the leader, Hawk is! I’ll never understand why the Sunbow cartoon chose […]

Review: Transformers Generations Darkmount
By Loran Mercy is not dispensed here, fools! Only… reviews. Since the start of the 2010 product year, Hasbro really seems to be giving us a lot of throwbacks to the Marvel days. Bludgeon? Check. […]
