Review > Mad Monsters 8″ Figures (Classic TV Toys)
I’d intended to post this review in October to go with the Halloween theme, but I never got around to it. Not going to make excuses–I just didn’t.
I’ve never been a fan of Mego figures. They were passé by the time I got into action figures as a kid, having been supplanted by the 3 3/4″ revolution of Kenner’s Star Wars line. When I did encounter Mego figures at yard sales and so forth, they seemed a lot more like my sister’s Barbie dolls than my Luke or He-Man figures, so I was never even interested in them. That lack of nostalgia, coupled with a general dislike of soft goods on action figures, is why I have little to no interest in the current Mego revival.

New PGPoA Exclusive: The Sword of Ages!
For millennia, one of the most honored and feared weapons of humanity has been the sword. There have been many famous swords–Excalibur, Durandal, Anduril, the Power Sword, the Sword of Omens, the Master Sword–but The Sword of Ages is not one of these. It is the sword of the footman, the mercenary, the knight errant. A simple blade, functional, reliable, easily replicated…but to its owners, indispensable. (more…)
Any questions for Mattel?
Questions are due by 11:59pm on Thursday, November 11. This is for the December 1 round.
On a side note, December 1 will be PGPoA’s three-year anniversary!

Pixel Dan’s King Grayskull Video Review
Odds ‘n Ends > November 5, 2010
- The Grizzlor early reviews are coming in. You can find Pixel Dan’s review in the previous post, and here’s Fwoosh’s first look. Fwoosh also has first looks of King Grayskull and the second Weapons Pak.
- The Guess-the-Weapon contest is over and a winner has been chosen. I’ll announce both the weapon and the winner very soon (hopefully tonight, but early next week at the latest).
- Got a ton of reviews in the hopper–pics are taken, now I just have to the really hard part: the writing.
- Count Dr. Mrs. Ghostal and I among the converted for the new BBC show Sherlock. We’ve only watched the first ep, but it’s fantastic. Of course, due to the lag between the BBC and BBC America, the DVD and Blu-Ray actually come out next week, before the season has even finished airing over here. Oh, and the guy who plays Holmes is named Benedict Cumberbatch. Only in England.
- Speaking of Sherlock, and therefore Steven Moffat, and therefore Doctor Who, the next Doctor Who figure assortments contains the usual crazy gaggle of robots/monsters/smartly-dressed types. God help me if I ever get into Doctor Who.
- You should immediately go play Organ Trail, an Oregon Trail tribute game about zombies. It’s awesome.
