Odds ‘n Ends > Post-SDCC Ennui Edition
Apologies for the lack of updates the last couple of days, but in the wake of SDCC there’s really just not much news going on. Feel free to pass along something…maybe a Toy Aisle Trolls? Anyone…? I saw the NECA Predators at TRU last night. They looked great, but there was no classic Predator, which [...]
SDCC 2010 Odds ‘n Ends
This was definitely the year for me to go to SDCC. Shoulda tried harder.I’m terribly jealous of everyone’s who’s there. Crowds, stink and all. Anyway, the big Mattel fan panel, which will reveal all the new MOTU & Ghostbusters figures, will be at 4pm ET. I’ll have my thoughts up, hopefully w/ pics, soon after. [...]
Odds ‘n Ends > Manwich Edition
The Dread Axes are almost gone (as in, there’s currently 1 left!), and we will be doing a second run. Thanks to all who helped make this exclusive a success! Sadly, Faker remains unpurchased. In even better news, Spy Monkey and I are now discussing the possibility of a new item as the next exclusive. [...]
Odds ‘n Ends > Moon Beast Edition
Congratulations to the winner of the “Win a Keldor – Part II” contest–Mountain-man! There’s a new poll to the left, asking which of the MOTUC “real names” is your, well, least favorite. Someone asked about the “super-limited” part of the initial Dread Axe run–that’s solely because I wasn’t sure, and am still not sure, how [...]
Odds ‘n Ends > Spyeye Edition
Apologies for the lack of a real update today–I’ve got two or three major updates in the queue, but finding the time to get them done is proving difficult. It does not, however, have anything to do with my increasingly unhealthy addiction to Dragon Age. In case you missed his column this weekend, check out [...]
Odds ‘n Ends > News Roundup
So as everyone probably knows by now, the Four Horsemen have teamed up with toy legend Mel Birnkrant and Matt Doughty of Onell Design (makers of the Glyos figures) to bring back the 1960s sci-fi toy line The Outer Space Men. I was going to do a write-up about it, but NoisyDvL5 already wrote the [...]
Odds ‘n Ends > Surf Party USA
You may have noticed PGPoA seems a bit…wider. That’s right, we’ve increased our girth, and completely without the aid of that terrifying Enzyte mascot with the rictus grin of a ten-month-old corpse. It was mostly done because I was finding it difficult to post certain videos, since the smallest embed options were larger than the [...]
Odds ‘n Ends > Super G Edition
It shows how out of touch I am with the DCUC scene that I completely missed the fact that the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle on display at Toy Fair had double-jointed elbows and knees. A very interesting development–has Mattel said whether this signals a new direction for the line, or if this is just something [...]
Odds ‘n Ends > Two-Year Anniversary Edition
Happy anniversary to me! Today marks the two-year anniversary of PGPoA, and I decided to splurge on some new graphics. Poester MechaShiva provided all the new artwork around the site. I decided it was time to update Poe’s outdated trenchcoat-and-glasses look to MechaShiva’s more exciting MOTUC-style Poe. At the same time, he also updated a [...]
Odds ‘n Ends
I recently got a new job. It’s a step up in a lot of ways, but starting next week, I’m going to be a hell of a lot busier. That means there are going to be some changes at PGPoA. Mostly, it means there will be a lot less news, since I won’t have the [...]
