My phone photos cannot doContinue reading “NECA Defenders Of The Earth: Ming The Merciless”

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”

From Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones Despite being my least favorite Star Wars film of all, Attack of the Clones has a few things going for it.

McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Superman: Action Comics

“Look! Up in the sky!” Batman is, was, and always will be my favorite DC Comics superhero. He’s my favorite overall as well, with Marvel’s Nightcrawler having been nudged into second place after a thirty plus year run as my co-favorite with Batman.
