Codename:The Four Horsemen are taking all of my money
The Four Horsemen will be robbing me blind this year.
So, all the big toy news has come out of the New York Comic Con, and I think it’s safe to say Mattel stole the show.

Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird are a classic American success story. They parlayed a strange concept–a comic parodying Frank Miller’s then-popular Daredevil and Ronin comics, but starring anthropomorphic animals–into an empire, with profits that at times exceeded those of the mainstream publishers whose works they were [...]
Odds ‘n Ends > Spiffy Edition
ODD: As mentioned yesterday, we did a little sprucing up here at PGPoA. If you’re curious who the bear in the menu is, don’t worry–she’ll be showing up in The Toybox soon. And has anyone figured out who the “Comics” guy is? If not, you’ll find out if you pick up Toyfare #130 in a [...]
T-U-R-T-L-E Power
On the half-shell, they’re the heroes four
In this day and age, who could ask for more?
NECA sends along this great hi-res photo of their new TMNT figures in action…man, I can’t wait for these.
NECA will also be selling a special boxed set (limited to 500) of the figures at the New York Comic Con next [...]
Lord of the Batches
Before we get to the winner of the contest, I just wanted to pass along the news that NECA has released new images of its upcoming two-pack of Jareth (the Goblin King) and Hoggle from the cult film Labyrinth. I must say, NECA may be taking their famed devotion to detail a bit too far:
Odds ‘n Ends > Toy Fair 2008 Edition
Man, where to start? Lots of interesting news coming out of Toy Fair this year.
Poe’s Point > MST OK, where are my action figures?

Poe’s Point > Toys and the Chinese New Year
As with many hobbies, the rise of the Internet has allowed the average action figure collector to understand the intricacies of production, sales, and distribution more than ever before. Fans track and discuss case mixes, variant ratios and shipping schedules. They have favorite sculptors and designers. And with projects like the Four Horsemen’s FANtastic Exclusive, [...]
Odds ‘n Ends > Albino Frog Edition
ODD: PGPoA will be moving to a new Web host soon, so there may be some hiccups over the course of the next few weeks. Do not attempt to adjust your monitor if something goes wrong–chances are, I goofed something up. I’ll have more updates on this later in the week, but there’s a chance [...]
2007: The Year in Haulage
Happy New Year! I’m working on a very big review of the first wave of DC Universe Classics figures, but in the meantime here’s a quick post to tide you over.
Inspired by Googum, I’ve decided to try and post a list of all the toys I bought or received in 2007. I can’t go into [...]
