Quick Review - Star Wars The Black Series Range Trooper 6" Figure by Hasbro


Last week SOLO finally hit theaters and I'm surprised to admit, it's probably my favorite of the Disney era Star Wars films. I enjoyed it after my first viewing, but I watched it with my guard up. Still feeling betrayed by The Last Jedi, but after seeing it a second time opening weekend I loved it. While Rogue One's characters are a little flat, and The Force Awakens suffers as a result of The Last Jedi, Solo is an incredibly fun, entertaining, and well made Star Wars movie. It really captured the spirit of not only Han Solo, but the lightheartedness of A New Hope and felt like a bit of a throw back. The underworld and western vibes in the film also help set it apart from the regular old Jedi business or Galactic Civil War conflicts.

Retro Review - Spider-man Battle Ravaged Spider-man and Green Goblin Action Figures by ToyBiz


Today marks the One Year anniversary of when I started this blog and to celebrate I thought I'd do a little something special. My first review was Hasbro's 6 Inch Spider-man Homecoming figures so in keeping with a similar theme I thought I'd take a look at some other Spider-man movie toys from yesteryear. In 2002 ToyBiz released their exceptional Spider-man movie tie in line and today I'm going to take a look at two figures I missed out on as a kid.
