Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Bobby The Barbarian And Uni
“Try picking on somebody my size!” Bobby was the youngest adventurer in the group of kids in the classic cartoon, Dungeons & Dragons. He was also the closest in age to me at the time. Headstrong, physically strong, and afraid of being seen as weak or immature, Bobby would often rush into battle with littleContinue reading “Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Bobby The Barbarian And Uni”
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)”
May The 4th Be With You!
“Stay on target!” Whether you grew up with the original trilogy like I did or first discovered the Force in The Phantom Menace, there’s plenty of Star Wars things to celebrate today! I hope that you get the chance to celebrate that story from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. HereContinue reading “May The 4th Be With You!”
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”
Throwback Thursday: 1997 Toy Biz Spiderman Web Force Tank Attack Daredevil
The Man Without Fear! During the 1990’s I spent most of my time in college classes, at the movies, or hanging out with friends. While I did rediscover comic books, I pretty much stopped buying and collecting toys save for the random action figure, die cast car, or sports cards. Toy Biz was one ofContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: 1997 Toy Biz Spiderman Web Force Tank Attack Daredevil”
Marvel Legends Retro Kenner 3.75: 2021 Daredevil and 2021 Electro (Reissue)
The Man Without Fear And A Really Shocking Villain! Since 2020 Marvel and Hasbro (releasing as Kenner) have produced a collection of vintage carded Marvel superhero and villain action figures with beautiful cardbacks and figures that look like the classic five point of articulation figures of the 1970’s and 80’s but actually feature seven pointsContinue reading “Marvel Legends Retro Kenner 3.75: 2021 Daredevil and 2021 Electro (Reissue)”
McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Aquaman (Endless Winter) & Gold Label Ocean Master
“What are you going to do about it, Aquaman? Call some fish?” Some brothers just can’t get along. In the case of Aquaman and Ocean Master, they literally go to war with one another. I believe that McFarlane Toys had the brotherly love of Arthur and Orm in mind when they released the Target ExclusiveContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Aquaman (Endless Winter) & Gold Label Ocean Master”
Spin Master Solomon Grundy Figure
“Solomon Grundy, Born On A Monday….” Spin Master hasn’t been cranking out quite as many four inch figures as of late, at least in my neck of the woods. There are still plenty of DC Heroes Unite and multiple Batman waves hanging on the pegs at my area and regional retailers. The only new productsContinue reading “Spin Master Solomon Grundy Figure”
McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Rebirth Batman (2022)
“The human capacity for good is incredibly powerful….” I can describe McFarlane’s 2022 Rebirth Batman in one word: Beautiful. It’s a beautiful figure. From the iconic black bat outlined in yellow on his chest to the purple underside of his cape, this Rebirth Batman is gorgeous. The figure is simple, slender, and looks amazing onContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Rebirth Batman (2022)”
