“It’s never too late to become what you might have been.” While cruising around on Amazon Prime last night, I found a nice little gem entitled The Comic Shop. I was completely unaware of this film, but considering how much I enjoy reading comic books and hanging out at my local comic shop, I decidedContinue reading “The Comic Shop (2025)”

McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: Catwoman (Arkham City)
“It’s Just Little Ol’ Me.” Released in 2022, the McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Arkham City Build-A-Figure line was quickly on my radar. It came in two versions: a color version and a Walmart exclusive Gold Label black-and-white variant. I’ve put eyes on all four figures in the line, Batman, Catwoman, Penguin, and Ra’s Al Ghul,Continue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: Catwoman (Arkham City)”
McFarlane Toys DC Mulitverse: MR. FREEZE (Batman & Robin)
“The Iceman cometh!” Arnold Schwarzenegger served up a heaping helping of cheese in 1997’s Batman & Robin. He dished out one cold line after another, fully embracing his role as Victor Von Fries, better known as the villainous Mr. Freeze. Freeze partnered up with Poison Ivy in an attempt to steal enough diamonds to fuelContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Mulitverse: MR. FREEZE (Batman & Robin)”
McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: ROBIN (Batman & Robin)
“My rubber lips are immune to your charms.” Despite a bad script and some terrible special effects, Chris O’Donnell did a fairly reasonable job as Robin/Dick Grayson in 1997’s Batman & Robin. He was one of the funniest parts of the film and worked well with his co-stars. McFarlane Toys has added a figure ofContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: ROBIN (Batman & Robin)”
McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: POISON IVY (Batman & Robin)
“So many people to kill….so little time.” With love dust, a poison kiss, and Bane at her side, Poison Ivy was a terrifically terrible villain in 1997’s Batman & Robin. Portrayed by Uma Thurman in the film, Poison Ivy teams up with Mr. Freeze in order to take over Gotham City and, eventually, the world.Continue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: POISON IVY (Batman & Robin)”
McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: BATGIRL (Batman & Robin)
“I want to help Batman and Robin.” Although the 1997 Batman & Robin film is one of my least favorite films in the DC Universe, I have to admit that I really, really liked the costumes and some of the characters. One of the characters that I really enjoyed seeing on the big screen wasContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: BATGIRL (Batman & Robin)”

NECA: The Original Superheroes Flash Gordon
NECA gets lazy I was very happy to see that NECA would be releasing classic King Features Syndicate versions of at least three of their most popular characters: Flash Gordon, The Phantom, and Ming The Merciless. To date there have been three different versions of two of these characters (Ming and Flash), two versions ofContinue reading “NECA: The Original Superheroes Flash Gordon”
