G.I. Joe Ninja Dojo Set Part 3 Beachhead
As much as I hate to say it, Beachhead is one of those characters in G.I. Joe that never really jumped out to me. While I was more of a comic fan, the toys came […]

Revoltech 119 Gurren Lagann Review
Note: I’m not sure if it came like this or I somehow misplaced it, but my Gurren Lagann is missing its left hip armor. I should have been paying attention. If this is a factory […]

HGUC Powered GM review
God I love GMs. No matter how you dress them up, they’re still Gundam’s equivalent of Star Trek’s “redshirt”, but hey, they sure as hell look cool. I always feel like they get passed by […]

HGUC Zaku Sniper (Yonem Kirks) Review
Okay, I think I’ve made it to the last of my Gundam Unicorn Episode 4 kits; for now, at least. Of all the new releases for the episode, this one kind of bugged me. It […]

Avengers Hawkeye Review
Back in 2009, it seemed like all the toy companies were moving down to 3.75”/4” figures for the sake of cutting costs. Naturally, this made me ecstatic. Now I could have my G.I. Joes and […]

Avengers Black Widow review
With the Avengers movie finally out, I figured it was time for me to get some of the figures. Thing is, none of them really impressed me. They all seemed too gimmick-laden, and most of […]
