Review - Spider-man Homecoming Homemade Suit Spider-man and Vulture Marvel Legends by Hasbro


The Spider-man Homecoming premier was held last night in Hollywood, and the reviews have started pouring in. By all accounts this is the best Spider-man movie since Spider-man 2 way back in 2004. This is great news, not only for the future of Spidey in film, but for Spider-man in the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole. So today we're going to take a look at another couple of the Marvel Legends Homecoming figures; Homemade Suit Spider-man and the villainous Vulture.

Review - Spider-man Homecoming Marvel Legends Figure by Hasbro


Spider-man's first solo outing in the MCU is just a few short weeks away and Hasbro's Marvel Legends figures have started hitting retail in full force. Their latest series is Spider-man focused, but only has 3 figures based on actual designs from the movie. There's a standard Spider-man, a Homemade Suit Spider-man, and the villainous Vulture. I was going to review all three figures at once, but I think there's plenty to talk about each one so I'm going to start with standard Spidey tonight.

Review - Wonder Woman and Ares Collect & Connect DC Multiverse Figures by Mattel


Wonder Woman hit theaters a few weeks ago and by all accounts it's a genuine hit with critics and audiences alike. The film is full of humor, effective action, and great characters that you really end up feeling for. It's nice to finally have a true hero in the DCEU, with out all the pretentious nonsense. Hopefully DC and Warner Bros. can continue this trend into Justice League and the wider Extended Universe.

Review - Star Wars Droid Factory C1-10P "Chopper" Disney Parks Exclusive


One of the break out characters from Disney's Star Wars Rebels is the lovable, grumpy astromech C1-10P, also know as Chopper. He's the Bernard Black of droids, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Hasbro released a Chopper figure a few years ago in their poorly distributed Rebels line, but managed to re-release the figure in a The Force Awakens Versus 2-pack with Zeb. Now, Disney has stepped up to the plate and released an extraordinary Chopper in their Droid Factory assortment, only available at Disney Parks. With only his second figure ever, this Chopper is the definitive representation of every one's favorite cranky droid.

After a rocky start it’s great to hear that the DC Extended Universe is on sure footing, especially with Justice League right around the corner. Mattel’s latest wave of DC Multiverse figures have been hitting for a while now so today I’m going to be taking a look at two of the central characters, Princess Diana (better known as Wonder Woman) and Steve Trevor.
