By Loran Possibly the best “feature” of the Power Core Combiners line has not been the unique alt-modes, nifty Minicons, or combination gimmick, but rather its abundance of new characters. So far the only “heritage” […]
By Loran Snake Eyes is quite possibly the most overused character in G.I. Joe. Over the past 30 years the guy has gotten over fifty figures. It’s not without good reason, though. His image is […]
By Chris Troy This is a very unique February for Marvel fans across the US. Comic wise, Marvel’s launching it’s .01 initiative, special $2.99 priced 1-shots that help new readers get caught up to date […]
By Loran It seems that even the most disliked of Transformers lines all seem to get that one wave that people just go ga-ga over when the prototype pictures get revealed. Love the line or […]
By Loran While it’s pretty much the second time they’ve done it so far, I have to say I quite commend the live-action Iron Man movies for using one of my favorite mecha clichés: the […]
By Chris Troy I remembering pointing out some time last year (post New York Comic Con) that Square-Enix’s Play Art division is schedule to explode in terms of non- Final Fantasy related content. That’s finally […]
By Loran New characters, new characters, new characters! Once again Hasbro adds a new character to the Decepticon ranks. Instead of going with a 100% new character, this time Hasbro has gone with sort of […]
By Loran Even in the repaints, the 2010 line has given us some pretty clever homages. I’ve noticed these quite a bit since 2008. Hasbro’s been taking a lot of regular-sized figures and making them […]
By Loran While the Hunt for the Decepticons/Reveal the Shield/Generations lineups have given us amazing updates of classic (and movie) characters, their new characters have been the best part. With Breacher, we got an all-new […]
By Loran This little guy is Breacher. He’s one of the newest molds to come at this price point, and he’s been getting quite a bit of attention since the first pictures of him showed […]
By Christopher Troy Happy New Years Forbidden Planet Faithful! Hope you rang in 2011 with style and class, or if you’re like me, with a Four Loko and Rock Band 3 with several friends. Anyway, […]
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 […]
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. […]
By Chris Troy Every Christmas, a strange man with a funny accent comes to visit in an odd flying device. Granted his Christmas adventures usually don’t make it to US shore until 6 months after […]
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 […]
By Christopher Troy DC Direct seems to like making a liar out of me. A while back, I previewed 3 different lines of figures (Blackest Night series 7 & 8, Mass Effect 2 series 1) […]
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 […]
By Loran Hasbro, it’s about time, and you’ve really outdone yourselves! Ever since the Classics line debuted back in 2006, I’m pretty sure Jazz was really high the list of characters fans wanted to see […]
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. […]
By Loran And so, I have reached a conclusion on yet another kit for the Unicorn-y build log. I had a feeling this kit was going to take a lot less time than the Destroy […]
