The Hobbit Toy License goes to…

What about this seemingly out of nowhere announcement for the Hobbit toy master license?

Dino-Riders Return! Sort of…

September 13, 2011 in Random NEWS of some sort, Toys and Action Figures

Harness the Power! Dino-Riders were a short lived toy line and TV show that was made of a mix between Kick -Ass and Amazing. They were Amazing-Ass. Wait… that doesn’t work. Kick-Amazing? OK, nevermind. Dino-Riders brilliantly combined Dinosaurs with Sci-Fi and aliens. What could go wrong here? It’s perfect, like mixing Alcohol with an energy drink! Geez, I am not doing well with metaphors [...]

Captain America vs. Green Lantern

July 27, 2011 in Reviews, Toy reviews!

For Father’s day this year, my kids got me a figure from both of the late-summer comic book movies of 2011: Captain America the First Avenger and Green Lantern. Specifically, they got me the Comic Version of WWII Cap from Captain America and Sinestro from Green Lantern. I thought it would be fun to pit them against each other and [...]

6 inch Movie Captain America And Movie Nick Fury! Plus Iron Man 6 inch figures!

July 8, 2011 in Comic Books, Random NEWS of some sort, Toys and Action Figures

I guess that the “Marvel Legends” still aren’t quite dead. Joining the 6 inch Walmart exclusive Iron Man movie figures are these 6 inch Captain America Movie Figures of Steve Rogers and Nick Fury! According to Hasbro, there are more 6 inch Iron Man figures on the way too, with no indication that they are Walmart exclusives. Here are the pictures of the [...]

LEAPIN’ LIZARDS! Hasbro Spider-Man Lizard Review

June 12, 2011 in Reviews, Toy reviews!

I’m a comic nerd. I’m also a Dinosaur nerd. Being a dinosaur nerd means I like reptiles by default. Crocodiles and Alligators are my favorite but Komodo Dragons, Jackson Chameleons and Iguanas are equally ass-kicking in their scaly, cold-blooded awesomeness! So it should come as no surprise that of the comic book world – specifically within the Marvel Universe – [...]

Another Old Review! Ghost Rider Chain Attack Figure from Hasbro!

June 7, 2011 in Reviews, Toy reviews!

Here is another old review from the days of yore. Funny to see the old logo on the pictures. —————————- Well, I enjoyed the movie well enough to want to buy a couple of the figures. I figured I’d start off with the “Johnny Blaze” Ghost Rider and the Caretaker, and possibly Blackheart down the line. So far I’ve found [...]

Transformers BOTCON Details from Hasbro

May 31, 2011 in Movies, Random NEWS of some sort, Toys and Action Figures

Anybody out there going to BOTCON? Sounds like some cool stuff according to the press release we just received.  Bay and Spielberg are also going to be be inducted into the Transformers Hall of Fame. I hope that means that Hasbro is going to make a Steven Spielberg Transformer that turns into a 35mm camera with a beard and a Michael Bay Transformer that turns [...]
