Review - Marvel Legends Exclusive Invisible Woman by Hasbro

The Fantastic Four have had a rough couple of years. First their comic gets cancelled and then their big new movie flops with critics and audiences alike. Not quite the treatment you would expect for Marvel's First Family. Well, hopefully things are on the upward swing with Hasbro releasing a series of exclusive figures at Walgreens (EB Games up here in the great white north) starting with Sue Storm the Invisible Woman. I was a little hesitant at first to pick her up, but as soon as The Human Torch was announced I snatched one up as quick as I could. With the rumored Super Skrull figure, and Mr. Fantastic himself being announced at SDCC, all that awaits is the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing.

Review - Batman '66 Classic TV Series 3.75" Action Figures by Funko

A few years ago 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. finally struck a deal to bring the classic 1966 Batman TV series to Blu Ray and DVD and with it came a flood of glorious merchandise. Mattel did a great line of 6" scale figures a few years back and now it's Funko's turn. They just released their first wave of 3.75" action figures along with a scale Batmobile. Today we'll be looking at three figures from the initial release: Batman, Batgirl, and Catwoman.

Review - Star Wars The Black Series Tusken Raider 6" Figure by Hasbro

This year marked the 40th anniversary of Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope, a little film that changed the way we look at movies. The impact of Star Wars cannot be understated in both film history, and pop culture. Way back in 1977 a small independent toy company named Kenner produced the now legendary first twelve 3.75" action figures for Star Wars. The line quickly expanded, and defined the childhood of an entire generation. To commemorate this monumental event, Hasbro released The Black Series 40th Anniversary Collection, recreating those original 12 figures. One of those figures was the fearsome Tusken Raider and today we'll be taking a look at him in 6" form.

Review - Spider-man Homecoming 3.75" Spider-man & Vulture 2-Pack by Hasbro

Spider-man Homecoming hit theaters this week and I was able to check it out Thursday night in Imax and it is absolutely spectacular! Marvel Studios nailed it. Tom Holland is undoubltely the best big screen interpretation of Peter Parker and Michael Keaton as the Vulture is the best best Spider-man villain since Doc Ock. I cannot wait to see what what they do next. Hopefully they can finally bring back J. Jonah Jameson and the Daily Bugle, because we all want pictures of Spider-man!

Opinion - Build-a-Figures

Way back in 2005 Toy Biz first introduced the concept of the Build-a-Figure with wave 9 of their monumental Marvel Legends line of action figures. The concept was simple enough, each figure in the wave came with a piece of a character, collect all the toys in the wave an you've got yourself a bonus figure. Usually a character that would tower over the regular 6 inch figures. Toy Biz's first BAF character was none other than the devourer of worlds, Galactus.
