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 Shannon Hochman Two high school kids who drew a manga walk into the offices of Jump magazine, certain they’ve created the next biggest thing. The editor quietly reads over the pages they slaved so […]
By Devin T. Quin Welcome to 2011, where a whole new calendar YEAR of fun comic book activities awaits us! We should definitely start planning out our itinerary now so that we don’t miss out […]
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 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 Loran It’s time for the return of the Unicorn-y build log! Apologies for not delivering last week, let’s just say my finals week was like being stuck in a Zeon POW camp. Of course, […]
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 […]
By Loran Ah, the Power Core Combiners… what a gimmick. Some people love it, others hate it. Honestly? I love it. I’m a huge combiner fan because I love collecting up teams and making the […]
By Loran Well, another kit in the Unicorn buildathon has been completed! I now have another “star” Gundam to add to my shelf, and he certainly is worthy… After much, much frustration with the shiny […]
By Loran I’m a big G.I. Joe fan. I love the toys, I love the characters, and I love the vehicles. But what I love most of all is COBRA. It always seems that they […]
By Loran After an on-off week consisting of papers, work, and Gunpla work, I’m mostly finished with my Unicorn kits… well, the first one anyway. However, it’s very nice to be back in the mostly-full […]
by Loran It’s really weird how things seem to get started in Japan these days… Black Rock Shooter is one of those strange examples. She started off as a picture some guy drew, then another […]
