Poe’s Point Special > Toy Fair 2010
It would be impossible and way too much work for me to cover all the awesome stuff coming out of this year’s Toy Fair. The awesomeness seems to be hearkening back to the good old days of the early 2000s…anyway, instead of trying to list everything, I’m just going to hit the highlights of the [...]
Review > 6″ Winston Zeddemore
In Ghostbusters, the addition of Winston to the team, halfway through the movie, always struck me as a bit odd–even as a kid. Apparently the character was written into the script to show just how busy and overwhelmed the Ghostbusters had become, but that could be–and was–capably handled by a montage set to some catchy [...]
The Annual Interview with the Four Horsemen
In what has happily become an annual tradition here at PGPoA, the Four Horsemen graciously agreed to answer a few of my questions about DC Universe Classics, Masters of the Universe Classics and their own FANtastic Exclusive figures. Read on to get the latest from Santa’s not-so-little helpers, Chris Dahlberg, Eric Treadaway, Jim Preziosi, and [...]
Mattel Answers for December 1
1.) Tom-Tom asks: How expensive would it be in the short run to switch to an alternative-source plastic like Thermoplastic starch biodegradable plastics? That way, there’d be lower production costs and lower MSRPs in the long run.
A cool suggestion but not something logistically we can switch to.
Mattycollector update
Ahead of Scareglow and the rest of today’s Mattycollector releases, Mattel offers up this update via Facebook. (Text after the jump.)
Review > Ray Stantz (Ghostbusters Classics)
Just in time to be too late for Halloween, here’s my review of the 6″ Ray Stantz from Mattel’s Ghostbusters Classics line. Ray is only available via Mattycollector.com for $20 plus shipping. But is he worth a Jackson (or two Hamiltons, or one-fifth of a Benjamin, if you prefer)?
Ray Stantz is the heart of the [...]
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 [...]
Happy Teela Day!

I’m curious–due to the bonus figures, Ghostbusters, DCUC and so forth, how many of you have actually been able to avoid logging on to Mattycollector thanks to the subscription? As of right now, the only month in the foreseeable future that I’ll get away with it was…last month. Next month I have [...]
Fwoosh: First looks at Scare-Glow, Zodak and the Rays
Fwoosh has first looks at Scare-Glow, Zodak, 6″ Ray Stanz and 12″ Ray Stanz. Try not to hate VeeBee too much. It’s a dark road I went down long ago.
After looking through the reviews, I bet the 12″ Ray sells better than we–or at least I–thought it would. The facial sculpt isn’t great, but the [...]
Odds ‘n Ends > Armed and Fabulous
The Fwoosh has a first look at the DCUC Karu Sil/Romat Ru two-pack. That “dog” thing is awesome, and even better, it can serve double-duty as a bad guy for your Ghostbusters figures.
DST’s latest Q&A is up, this time focusing on Minimates. Our own Rustin Parr has a question in there, sacrificing his dignity to [...]
