I’m currently working on an article for an upcoming issue of ToyFare, but I thought I’d take a few minutes to peruse the latest issue. Cover: For some reason, Harrison Ford’s face seems to be difficult to sculpt (much like Bruce Campbell), but the larger the format, the easier it appears to be–and Sideshow nailed [...]
Entertainment Weekly has the scoop on DC Direct’s figures for the new Watchmen movie: First Look: ‘Watchmen’ Action Figures They look good, but as I suspect many fans will say, I do wish we could get the comic-based figures that were shown years ago but never produced.
ODD: The big news today is that yesterday, unbeknownst to me, my Spider-man 3 post was linked to on Fark (specifically, in the Geek section). To understand what that means, yesterday PGPoA received 300% more visitors than an average day. Pretty awesome. My immense thanks to the anonymous person who submitted it! END: If anyone [...]
Man, busy day here on PGPoA. For those of you who get these missives via an RSS feed, I apologize for all the new items–but this couldn’t wait. The New York Comic Con is this weekend, and Mattel has been hinting that they’ll be revealing all sorts of DC-related goodness at their Saturday panel. But [...]
Mrs. Ghostal-to-Be and I had some people over on Saturday night (including the lovely Ms. Kryptonite) to watch the Rifftrax of Spider-Man 3, and someone reminded me of this list I posted on my other blog last year. Here it is again, for the enjoyment of the PGPoA faithful. Twenty things I learned while watching [...]
Paul here again with another catch up on the week’s events in the G.I. Joe and Star Wars toy worlds. This last week was actually exciting compared to the previous few weeks of news drought. Star Wars The big thing this week (and perhaps one of the biggest events in Star Wars toy collecting history) [...]
Got a few spare minutes here, thought I’d post…just for fun, really. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I tend to prefer a single action figure of a character in his “iconic” look, rather than a number of costume variations. This is because I view my toys not as collectibles but as characters, and to have two [...]
I’m a tad behind on the next installment of Batman vs. Predator: If It Bleeds (the art is done, but I still need to add the dialogue), so in lieu of that, I thought I’d post this little post showcasing my haul from the Magic Toys ‘R Us last night. (Yes Paul, it came through [...]
NOTE: Originally published on Biggerboat on 2/16/2007. After my Saturday morning cartoons post, I decided to go ahead and compile a list of my top ten cartoons of all time. This list is unrestrained by timeslot or, I should mention, relative quality. I make no claim as to this list representing what I think are [...]
