Marvel has teased us with Mandarin hints, winks, and nods across all of the MCU so far, so it will be interesting to see if we finallyContinue reading “Marvel Legends Series: Wenwu”

Marvel Legends Series: Xialing
A sister with flying fists! I don’t know very much about Xialing or how exactly she will impact the story in the upcoming Marvel release, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but I do look forward to seeing her come to life on the big screen. She’s Shang-Chi’s sister and will be portrayedContinue reading “Marvel Legends Series: Xialing”
NECA Defenders Of The Earth: Ming The Merciless
“You are doomed!” NECA has outdone themselves. Long known for making beautiful action figures, NECA’s Defenders of the Earth line has been visually brilliant so far. There’s no better example of their beautiful work than this wonderful Ming The Merciless figure. This figure is bursting with details and vivid coloring. My phone photos cannot doContinue reading “NECA Defenders Of The Earth: Ming The Merciless”
Marvel Legends Tony Stark A.I. and Gamer Verse Civil Warrior
The Brain and the Heart I decided to do a twofer review of the Marvel Legends Iron Man Tony Stark (A.I.) and the Gamer Verse Civil Warrior for a couple of reasons. For starters, Civil Warrior creates his armor with the wreckage of a fallen Tony Stark in an alternate reality where the two facedContinue reading “Marvel Legends Tony Stark A.I. and Gamer Verse Civil Warrior”
Throwback Thursday: Krull (1983)
“The Black Fortress…where does it rise?“ My relationship with the 1983 film Krull is an odd one. I didn’t actually see the film when it was first released in theaters but my parents bought me the Atari 2600 game that tied into the film because I was enthralled with the movie. I also had aContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Krull (1983)”
Hasbro Marvel Legends Series: Shang-Chi
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”
Marvel Sizzle Reel 2021
“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?”
A New Marvel Film, Short Film Fun, And More…..
“Okay, see you…..in September!” Today is Simu Liu’s birthday. Fans of Kim’s Convenience (available in the United States on Netflix) already know Liu as Jung, the elder Kim sibling who has a strained relationship with his father in the series. For the rest of the world, Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten RingsContinue reading “A New Marvel Film, Short Film Fun, And More…..”
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”
