Jurassic Park: Amber Collection Dilophosaurus
“Ah, no wonder you’re extinct. I’m gonna run you over when I come back down.” Those were the wrong words for Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight) to say in 1993’s Jurassic Park. If you’ve seen that film, you know that Nedry’s fateful line was directed at a curious Dilophosaurus. Thanks to the most recent Jurassic ParkContinue reading “Jurassic Park: Amber Collection Dilophosaurus”
Mega Construx MOTU Set: Battle Cat Vs. Roton
“I have the power!!!” Growing up as a kid in the 1980’s meant that I was exposed to a number of awesome toys. From Star Wars to G.I. Joe and from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Thundercats, I tried to get my hands on all of them. In the early part of the decade, He-ManContinue reading “Mega Construx MOTU Set: Battle Cat Vs.

Spin Master DC Toys
Surprisingly Fun Way back in 2018 it was announced that DC Comics and Spin Master Toys had come to terms on a new licensing agreement. Starting in 2020, Mattel would no longer produce the bulk of DC’s toys. I was a bit sad about this, since I grew to love their Multiverse 6″ line asContinue reading “Spin Master DC Toys”
Throwback Thursday: The Legend of the Lone Ranger Toys (1981)
Hi-Yo, Silver! Away! Yes, I know that some folks will claim that “Hi-Yo” is wrong and that it should be “Hi-Ho,” but Clayton Moore, the man best known for portraying the Lone Ranger on television for most of the 1950’s, has stated in interviews that it’s “Hi-Yo, Silver.” I don’t argue with the Lone Ranger.Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: The Legend of the Lone Ranger Toys (1981)”
Jurassic Park: Amber Collection
Figure Review Last year Mattel announced that they would be releasing a new series of 6″ inch figures and 1/6 scale creatures in the Jurassic Park Amber Collection. The first wave was released late last year and featured Dr. Ian Malcolm and a velociraptor from the original film. Both figures were well received by collectors,Continue reading “Jurassic Park: Amber Collection”
LEGO DC Minifigs
Series 16 I’m not a huge collector of LEGO products. My son is completely infatuated with them, though, and I enjoy watching and/or helping him build his many sets. I do enjoy looking at many of the minifigures that come with the sets and those that can be purchased individually. One minifigure collection that caughtContinue reading “LEGO DC Minifigs”
A Super Partnership?
At Your Local Walmart Love it or hate it, you can’t deny the reach of Walmart. While I personally tend to do most of my retail shopping at Target or other stores, sometimes a trip to Walmart is unavoidable. Starting last year, DC Comics gave me one more reason to risk life and limb downContinue reading “A Super Partnership?”
Black Series Archive 2019
Star Wars’ Version Of The Disney Vault? I was strolling through a local Walmart the other day and decided to walk down the toy aisle. I was hoping to find some new blind bags to collect but I found some old Star Wars toys instead. Specifically, I found four “new” Hasbro Black Series Star WarsContinue reading “Black Series Archive 2019”
