Comic book and TV writer Gail Simone has a habit of writing things that then scream round the internet at the speed of outrage. Which is very, very fast indeed these days. The internet is her tool and her plaything, sometimes both at the same time. Such as her tweet this morning, talking about one […]
Video games are the lifeblood for the gamers out there. Nothing says nostalgia like bringing home those digital characters to the real wolrd and deiplaying them on your shelves. So this is dedicated to all the gamers out there and here are some kickass action figures you can add to your gaming center this holiday […]
DC essentials are upping their game and adding more heroes to their long-existing roster. It is exciting to see new and exciting characters from the extended universe inside DC. DC Collectibles has announced that there will be new DC Essentials figures coming in the summer of 2020. It is unsure of these characters will come […]
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a game I have been looking forward too for a while. A new story following a Jedi who survived the infamous Execute Order 66. Hasbro has finally revealed two upcoming Black Series figures for the game. First, we get Cal Kestis the main character of the series. He comes […]
It’s been a long haul, people – but by now, millions of you know it was more than worth the wait. Amazon Prime Video‘s adaptation of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson‘s comic book series The Boys has been sticking some righteously sweet superhero three-point landings since it premiered on Friday, July 26 – and spoiler? Check out Bleeding Cool’s two-scoops-of-spoilers-filled […]
In another example of what happens when fellow geeks grow up and get into positions of power and influence to turn their playtime fantasies into reality, mega toy company Mattel is developing a slate of 22 animated and live-action television programs based on their library of known brands and franchises. Which means you’re this much […]
Miles Morales is getting his own film in December, and Hasbro today started to reveal their toy line in support of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. No Marvel Legends yet, but plenty of other figures in both the six-inch scale and 12-inch scale are here, along with a playset and even a countdown calendar! I am […]
Marvel Legends collectors responded very well to Hasbro putting out X-Men characters in the line again. Between Deadpool waves and straight X-Men waves, they have done extremely well. The BAF Juggernaut wave is a personal favorite of mine, one of the best waves of Marvel Legends I have on my shelf. So to say that […]
Stranger Things figures will be coming fast and furious from McFarlane Toys this year. We already got Hopper and Eleven, and next up will be Dustin and Lucas. The highly detailed figures, which will also come with a multitude of packed in accessories, will be available in stores and online later this month. While I […]
Call of Duty figures are on their way. This weekend at Toy Fair, McFarlane Toys will have their first assortments of figures based on the popular video game franchise on display. We do have an early look at the first two figures, however: Simon “Ghost” Riley and John “Soap” Mactavish. McFarlane Toys will bring a […]
Sonic the Hedgehog is moving to Diamond. Diamond Select Toys has revealed ahead of this weekend’s Toy Fair that they will be producing a new line of toys based on the iconic video game character. The line will first be shown off at Toy Fair this weekend. Look, a press release! In 1991, the SEGA […]
Stranger Things fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of the new figures from McFarlane Toys for months now. First announced last spring and shown off at cons throughout the rest of the year, it would be easy to say they were my most anticipated release of the winter. Eleven and Hopper being the first […]
Recently we reviewed a set of Minecraft toys from JiNX that were pretty cool as they came in small boxes where you could connect all the pieces. But after that review, JiNX sent us something a little more awesome our way from their Minecraft line. A new set of Adventure Figures were sent our way […]
Force Friday is tonight/tomorrow, and while it is very exciting to get new Star Wars products, those of us who collect merchandise from our beloved galaxy far, far away face a dilemma every year now: just how much do we need? This year, like the first Force Friday and Rogue Friday, Lucasfilm has decided to […]
Well, I knew these were coming. But they look awesome. Funko has announced their first (of many I hope) wave of action figures based on the Netflix series Stranger Things. From the Funko blog announcement: From Netflix’s Original Series Stranger Things, some of your favorite characters from Hawkins, Indiana are joining the Funko Action Figure […]
In “this is why we can’t have nice things” news today, the owner of the world’s largest privately owned Star Wars collection has been robbed. Rancho Obi-Wan, owned and operated by mega-fan Steve Sansweet, operates as a non-profit organization with money from tours and such donated to charity and has been operating since 1998. A […]
In one of the first big box office failures of this year, and a quite undeserved one frankly, the Power Rangers movie just seemed to fail to light up the global box office and connect with cinema goers for ticket sales. With such dire sales compared to the film and its marketing costs, a sequel […]
Jeremy Konrad is on the ground out there in Orlando at Star Wars Celebration and he managed to battle through the lines like a champ and get to the relative safety of the Hasbro booth (they’re in the exhibitor hall at location 2744). They have revealed one exclusive so far: a Luke Skywalker 6″ action […]
Super 7 is probably my favorite company producing figures right now. Between Masters of the Universe (Rich Johnston‘s all-time favorite, just ask him), The Toxic Avenger, Hellboy, and many others, they listen and give fans exactly what they want. Personally, I love their Alien products more than anything. From ReAction classic 3 3/4 inch figures […]
Back in 1978, DC Comics released one of the most iconic one-shots of all-time, Superman vs Muhammad Ali. It is one of my personal favorites. Having read this comic multiple times over the years, I got very excited when NECA announced their figure two-pack to commemorate the comic. I was even more excited to walk into […]
