In 2006 I was checking out a forum for writers and saw a post from one of the founders saying that they were starting a blogging network and needed writers. I decided to check out what was available and I saw that there was a toy collecting blog up for grabs. At that time they [...]
After doing my Robocop Show and Tell the discussion seemed to focus more on Batman than Robocop. Well, here’s my Batman collection Show and Tell inspired by that conversation. For my Show and Tell, I’m going to do something a bit different. I’m going to show and tell as usual, but there’s a little bit [...]
Don’t miss my review of MOTUC Skeletor. A quarter-scale Mutt Williams? I have to ask, why? (TNI) Toy Bender has a contest for some cool G.I. Joe figures. Well, I assume they’re cool, I don’t really know G.I. Joe. The wait is over! Hasbro reveals Wolverine movie action figure…scale. Well, that was rather anticlimactic, since [...]
To answer the burning question first: yes, I’ve got MOTUC He-Man and Beast Man and I’ll be reviewing them this week. I’m waiting/hoping for a particular birthday present (my family exchange is tonight) before I take the photos. Let’s just say, though, that I can’t wait for Skeletor. I had lunch with fellow toy collector [...]
I will be sorely, sorely tested in my resolve not to collect 12″ figures by the Hot Toys original Predator, Dutch and yes, even Billy. (Cool Toy Review) Corner Store Comics having year-end sale–20% off in-stock items (CSC) First official Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen pics may be released on my birthday (Seibertron) JLU Amanda [...]

Packaged and out-of-package photos of MOTUC Skeletor (TheFwoosh) Preview of Diamond Select’s quarter-scale Darth Maul (Figures.com) I can’t believe it’s been almost ten years since we were first introduced to this incompetent excuse for a Jedi. Packaged pics of McFarlane Halo 3 Hunter (Figures.com) Cloverfield monster figure review–hey, somebody had to buy it. (Action-figure.com) First [...]
ODD: Well, it seems most of you want the next installment of “It Figures” to feature DCUC Wave 3. Which means a lot of writing for me. I had my fingers crossed for the Mousers exclusive….all right, DCUC3 it is. I’d better start writing now. END: After weeks of seeing nothing but Movie Master Batman [...]
ODD: Where did all the comments go? I leave for a few days and the comments dry up like Aquaman in the desert. Come back! I promise I’ll be interesting! END: Good news for fans of NECA’s Ninja Turtles line. First, it appears the line is selling quite well. That’s great news; perhaps NECA will [...]
Picked up the latest issue of ToyFare this week. In the tradition of all uninspired stand-up comedians, let’s see what’s in the news this month… Cover: Iron Monger from Hasbro’s Iron Man movie line. I have to admit, he looks totally awesome, though I’m wondering whether those hips are ball jointed. Haven’t seen any of [...]
