Review - Star Wars Droid Factory R2-D2 & C-3PO Disney Parks Exclusive

This year at Star Wars Celebration, Disney announced a new assortment of Droid Factory figures; Protocol Droids were finally coming to Build-a-Droid. Meaning your custom Astromech could finally have its very own Protocol Droid buddy. At the same time they launched a number of new limited release action figures, one of these was a 40th Anniversary C-3PO & R2-D2 two-pack. Collectors had been asking Hasbro for these figures for years, and Disney finally stood up and made them a reality.

Review - Pirates of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow & Barbossa 2-Pack Disney Parks Exclusive

The Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy is an extraordinary series of films full of awesome action, incredible special effects, and some of the best film music of all time. Jack Sparrow has become a pop culture icon through his swashbuckling misadventures on the high seas. It’s one of my favorite film trilogies, up there with Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings. Then they went and made a fourth one… Anyways, Jack Sparrow returns this summer in Dead Men Tell no Tales and I absolutely cannot wait to see it.

Review - Hellboy 3.75" ReAction Figures by Super7

In my opinion, the first Hellboy movie is the perfect comic to film translation. It’s not a straight up adaptation like Watchmen or Sin City, but makes fundamental changes that actually enhance the work. Building a relationship between Hellboy and Liz, strengthening the father son bond between Hellboy and Broom, and giving Abe mild psychic abilities so he’s more than just a fish-man. They used the comic as a base and only made it better. While it is disappointing that we’ll never see Hellboy 3, the recent news of a reboot is super exciting and I cannot wait to see what they do.

Review - Spider-man Homecoming 6" Action Figures by Hasbro

Spider-man has a new movie coming out this year and you know what that means, new toys! I was out at Toys “R” Us last week and stumbled upon pegs stuffed full of Hasbro’s kid oriented budget line of Homecoming figures so I grabbed a few. I believe there are 4 different figures in the first wave: Spider-man, Homemade suit Spider-man, Vulture, and a Tech-suit Spider-man which is a blue variant of the standard Spidey. I picked up the first three figures and will be taking a look at them today.
