I absolutely despise Marvel for a million different reasons but I have to admit that they have some nice action figures in the “Universe” collection.

The Marvel Universe action figures have been out on the market for a while now and I finally got around to getting the few that I wanted. My interest in these figures is caused by the fact that they are made exactly like G.I. Joe figures, the packaging is even close to the Rise of Cobra figures.
The details in the action figures is very good but could be a little better however I’m not complaining.…

The new prize of my G.I. Joe collection! This is the canceled mail-away that connected the Rise of Cobra line to the Pursuit of Cobra line. Packaged in a mailing box denoting The Rise of Cobra movie, Cobra Commander slides out to reveal a TROC packaging with the card graphics of the Pursuit of Cobra “chase” figure packaging. The red background with “Cobra” in place of “G.I. Joe” is adorned with art of the Commander himself. The back of the package has an ID card and a letter from “CC.”

The figure inside the packaging is a repaint of the 2009 …

Waiting 5 or 6 months for a pre-order is a headache in itself, however I couldn’t be more happier!

Mato Kuroi is Black Rock Shooter. Introduced in the OVA that was included with the BRS Figma, Mato is a happy middle school kid that makes friends with Yomi who just so happens to be Dead Master the rival of Black Rock Shooter.
The OVA is about 50 minutes and it’s mostly easy to follow, there are elements of the story that seem to lead the viewer to think that Mato and Yomi are more than friends; after all, Mato does tell …

After Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen made a ton of money but was poorly received, Michael Bay and the crew promised to make this Transformers less jokey and more serious and darker in tone. He’s mostly succeeded. Transformers: Dark of the Moon is not as idiotic in places and the action scenes and effects are amazing. Sure, the movie is punishingly overlong at 157 minutes, but its mostly a fun ride.

The plot of Transformers has to do with a spacecraft hidden on the Moon with secrets that the Autobots must discover before the Decepticons. The moon prologue is very cool, …

HELL YEAH!

My favorite Hot Toys figure that I can’t afford (selling for as much as $600 on eBay) will be sold again through conventions, with Comic-Con being one of them.  Price hasn’t been announced but I’m guessing around $250-$300.  The figure comes with different sculpted heads, as well as another costume. 

Now time to figure out and get stressed on how to secure this item.

These are impressive, as a group of contestants at Brickworld 2011 recreated Middle Earth in Lego form. Needless to say, they won the contest.

A good month for once! The subscription service from Mattycollector.com has had too many downs and who-cares and not enough WOW! Just what I wanted!

Battleground Teela also known as fur-bikini Teela or simply original DC comics Teela. That’s right Teela has a couple of plates of armor covering her breasts that apparently is removable, so all you porn monkeys out there can enjoy stripping her down and making those lame figure scenes with photo-shopped word bubbles where your He-Man figure is feeling her up or something of the like–or Evil-Lyn, maybe Adora, She-Ra anyone…it’s not about figures anymore is it….…

Here’s a couple of pics of Optimus Prime (from the live action movie) for the Revoltech line.  I think I like it better than the original cartoon version because of the accessories and weapons you can combine.  No release date has been announced.

I was more excited when I didn’t know these were ornaments.  Batman and Comic Book guy still looks cool though.  Here’s the official release from Hallmark:

Remember this? I do, vaguely. But, it was popular when I was in Grade school. Gotta love the way they promote the item, flip it upside down and it’s something else……
