Somewhere right now, Umma is asking Janet why she doesn’t have an action figure like Jung. I love Kim’s Convenience. I love the characters and their stories and see parts of myself in some of the characters, especially Mr. Kim. When I heard that Simu Liu, who portrays Jung on the series, would be takingContinue reading “Hasbro Marvel Legends Series: Shang-Chi”

“We’re All Part Of One Big Family.” With Stan Lee’s voice discussing how we are all one big family setting the tone, Marvel’s newest sizzle reel takes a look back at the films that have made the MCU so extremely popular, visits the defining “Avengers assemble” moment in Endgame in a crowded theater, and thenContinue reading “Marvel Sizzle Reel 2021”
Dime Store Reads: Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?
“The electric things have their life too.” First published in the late 1960’s, Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is an odd book that plays straight for the most part but wanders into disjointed realms (on purpose) at times. I picked this book up for three bucks at a local Dollar GeneralContinue reading “Dime Store Reads: Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?”

Star Wars The Black Series: Bo-Katan Kryze
“…Mandalorians are stronger together.” I really like Hasbro’s The Black Series line of Star Wars figures. I’ve purchased quite a few over the years but always try to limit myself to characters that I love and/or figures that look wonderful. Recently, Hasbro has unleashed a number of new figures on collectors, many of which comeContinue reading “Star Wars The Black Series: Bo-Katan Kryze”
Godzilla Vs. Kong
“Hell….It Goes To Hell.” Yep, things go to a special kind of Hell during Godzilla Vs. Kong (2021). Don’t get my words wrong here, I’m quoting a humorous part of the film in my heading, but a lot of things do fall apart, get smashed, burn, get hacked up, and ripped to shreds throughout thisContinue reading “Godzilla Vs. Kong”

“I’m a man who has too much blood on his hands to be called good.” The Flashpoint Paradox is one of my favorite stories in comics. From the battle between Aquaman and Wonder Woman to the great hidden mystery of Kal-El, this story has some amazing alternate versions of some of DC’s greatest heroes andContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Batman Unmasked”
Spin Master Bat Cycles
A comparison of two versions of the same vehicle. Spin Master released an awesome four inch Batman Batcycle set. Part of the Creature Chaos series in the Caped Crusader line, the set featured an exclusive Batman figure and a Clayface figure. There are still a few of these sets left in the wild at brick-and-mortarContinue reading “Spin Master Bat Cycles”
NECA Defenders of the Earth: The Phantom
“The Beasts Call Him Brother, The Ghost Who Walks!” I’ve been waiting a long time for a quality figure of The Phantom to hit store shelves. Those who have been following my blog know that I fell in love with the character years ago while reading the comic strips and watching the Billy Zane 90’sContinue reading “NECA Defenders of the Earth: The Phantom”
