“You’re crazy!” Always ready with a sarcastic suggestion or a cowardly comment, Eric The Cavalier was one of the funniest characters on the classic Dungeons & Dragons cartoon. He was also the group’s realist. As much as I longed to be as cool and brave as Hank, I identified most with Eric. Despite his somewhatContinue reading “Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Eric The Cavalier”

Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Sheila The Thief
“We’re trapped in another world!” Being a kid in rural Louisiana with hardly any friends to play with in the 1980s meant that my only exposure to Dungeons & Dragons was the classic cartoon that ran for three season from 1983 to 1985. I loved the series. I didn’t even know at the time thatContinue reading “Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Sheila The Thief”
Revenge Of The Slashers: The Miner
“Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, One Is Dead, And So Are YOU!” Although he doesn’t get as much attention as Jason, Michael, Freddy, or even Ghostface, the Miner from My Bloody Valentine (1981) and My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009) definitely deserves to be in this month’s Revenge Of The Slashers entries. He has aContinue reading “Revenge Of The Slashers: The Miner”
Throwback Thursday: Dungeons And Dragons Toys (1983-84)
“The fantasy comes alive!” Way back in the early 1980s, toy company LJN combined forces with TSR to release a series of toys based upon the popular and, at least in the early 80s, controversial role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons. Despite my very strong Southern Baptist roots and the alleged Satanic portals that DnD potentiallyContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Dungeons And Dragons Toys (1983-84)”
The Champion Collection From Spin Master: Nasus, League Of Legends (2023)
“Your legacy shall drift away, blown into eternity, like the sands of the desert.” Spin Master has released a number of League of Legends figures based upon characters from the popular PC game over the last couple of years. I was recently given the opportunity to review one of these figures and jumped at theContinue reading “The Champion Collection From Spin Master: Nasus, League Of Legends (2023)”
Jurassic Park Amber Collection: Robert Muldoon (2021)
“They remember.” Robert Muldoon, as portrayed by Bob Peck in 1993’s Jurassic Park, is one of my favorite characters from both the films and the books. If you read the book, you know that Muldoon survived the events of Jurassic Park. Sadly, he was chosen to die in place of John Hammond in the film,Continue reading “Jurassic Park Amber Collection: Robert Muldoon (2021)”
Jurassic Park Amber Collection: Dr. Ellie Sattler (2021)
“Dinosaurs Eat Man. Woman Inherits The Earth.” If you’ve seen any of my previous Dr. Ellie Sattler or Jurassic Park related posts, you know that I have an undying love for and long held crush on Laura Dern. Despite these truths, this is only the second Dr. Sattler/Laura Dern item that I’ve ever collected. WhenContinue reading “Jurassic Park Amber Collection: Dr. Ellie Sattler (2021)”
Jurassic World: Dominion Dr. Ian Malcolm & Velociraptor
“Hey…I….I gave my opinion robustly for years…..” With the original Jurassic Park film celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this year, I’m on the lookout for all things JP (or JW, in this case). I’m happy to report that there is a ton of merchandise out there not only for the original film, but for the recentContinue reading “Jurassic World: Dominion Dr. Ian Malcolm & Velociraptor”
Spin Master The Flash 2023 Action Figures
“Run, Barry, Run.” Let me be completely upfront about this review. I purchased two of the available five figures in this new line from Spin Master. One of the reasons is that I really only wanted the Michael Keaton Batman figure but decided to pick up the Ezra Miller Flash figure strictly for comparison. TheContinue reading “Spin Master The Flash 2023 Action Figures”
Mattel The Hammond Collection Concavenator (2022)
Background Dino Gets To Shine! Fans of the Jurassic Park/World franchise might scratch their heads when first laying eyes on the Concavenator figure recently added to the Hammond Collection from Mattel. The reason for that is because they might not have even noticed the dinosaur in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. It appears briefly in theContinue reading “Mattel The Hammond Collection Concavenator (2022)”
