Sightings > My Pet (Badass) Monster

While trawling Google Images for My Pet Monster pics, I came across this awesome take:

Someone get the license, contact this artist, and make this action figure for me RIGHT NOW.

I should do a whole write-up on MPM sometime…

Poe’s Review > is at ItsAllTrue? Wha-huh?

That’s right! Rather than rewarding my loyal readers who have been patiently waiting for new reviews here at PGPoA, I have posted my latest review over at IAT! This is mainly just a way to help NoisyDvL5 out. But I think it’s definitely worth a read, particularly because it’s a review of a line I don’t often collect:

PoeGhostal.com Review: G.I. Joe Zombie Viper

The review is important for a couple reasons:

1.) I reveal one of my new contributing photographers – none other than the great Ed Speir IV! Ed will also be doing the photos for my MOTUC reviews moving forward.

2.) I also reveal my big plan for October – and it’s reviews, reviews, reviews in what I’m calling, in honor of my childhood love of WLVI 56’s Creature Double FeatureCreature Feature Month!

Happy Mekaneck Day!

It’s been a long time since I’ve had to go through the painful experience of ordering via Mattycollector, so much so that I totally forgot to do a “Happy Whoever Day!” post.

I will say I’m excited about Mekaneck. He’s the one He-Man figure I distinctly remember opening as a kid, and I’ve always been fond of his design. It looks like they’ve done a good job on his Classics figure.

Today also marks the releases of the Snake Men 2-Pack, Dragon Blaster Skeletor, and from Club Infinite Earths, Black Mask – the first CIE figure I’ll actually keep (and yes, review). There’s also some JLU and WWE stuff I’m not interested in, but if you are you can check out the all-in-one page. No one’s sold out yet!
