Poe’s Note: I started to write up a Poe’s Point about Big Bang Pow!’s upcoming Lost figures, done in the style of the 1970s Mego lines. But then I realized that, as someone who doesn’t watch Lost and as a lifelong action figure collector, I didn’t have any idea how much these toys would appeal [...]
Hey everyone, Paul here again. Like almost any collector I feel like I must share my shame with the world, so this time I have something that I really enjoy. It’s a re-purposed Indiana Jones playset full of G.I. Joe action.
ToyFare #152 has the scoop on wave 14 of DCUC:
I was hoping the first picture of the formally rumored AT-AT would be a glorious money shot, but our first halfway decent view is a crappy picture that leaves out the head.

yo go re of OAFE has dragged the shambling corpse of POFToo!–which I think predated Twisted ToyFare Theater and Robot Chicken–back from the grave. Check it out. I remember laughing my ass off at POFToo back in the day, though I think you really had to have been collecting SW at the time to get [...]
Another experiment by Mattycollector…how will this one go? Find out here.
When I was a kid I had a lot of toys, but one toy I never had was a TIE Fighter. It was a little awkward having an X-Wing, Millennium Falcon, and a Y-Wing all gunning down nothing (or a G.I. Joe or Captain Power ship), so when Kenner began re-releasing Star Wars figures I [...]
