header1 Toy Story 3: Lots o Huggin Bear Commercials

Pixar is beginning to turn the gears on their viral marketing machine for Toy Story 3. Two Youtube videos have just surfaced with fake commercials for the Lots-o-Huggin’ Bear, one of the new characters that will be featured in the new film.

One of the reasons why I love Pixar is when they do something they look at it from every possible angle.  Their attention to detail is what makes them stand out from all other animation studios and these commercials are no exception.

Collector’s Society: Spawn!

Collector’s Society: Spawn!

I thought I was a big Spawn collector until Charlie showed me his collection.  I was amazed with his display because it seems like he has all the figures!  Besides the toys, he also has trading cards, movies, rare exclusive and a standee.  Now, that’s hardcore.  It put my Spawn collection to shame. So I’ll just put my head down while you check out the pics!

Always loved toys in the ’60’s and I guess I was a pretty spoiled kid.  I had loads of cool toys.  After …

How did you get into the hobby?
My brother in law introduced me to it.  He gave me my first Spawn figure. And seeing as I love comics, it led me to collecting more and more toy lines.

Currently, I would have to say  it’s the DCU wave 11 Figure 4 Cyborg Superman.

Part of being a collector is the joy I get when I think about my collection.  Finding that hard to get toy or reading the latest issue of Batman always brightens up my day.   Some collect toys, while others collect comics and video games.  In the end, collector’s have one thing in common: passion.

So this week, we’re starting out a new segment: Collectors Society!  (Not to be mistaken for the Justice Society–there’s no Stargirl here!)   We will showcase collections from fellow collectors!

If you want to submit  your collection, send us an email at: collection@nerdsociety.com.  We’d love to show …

Action Figure Review: Hot Toys Wolverine

Action Figure Review: Hot Toys Wolverine

P1010007 Action Figure Review: Hot Toys Wolverine

Hot Toys, the company that is taking over the 1/6th industry, released a Wolverine figure.  Many fans have complained that there isn’t enough accessories on this figure and it doesn’t justify the expensive price tag.

Our guest reviewer, Nick, takes an in depth look at Wolverine and see what the fuss is all about:

Let me start out by saying that this is my first “official” review and, more importantly, I’m a huge Wolverine fan so I may be slightly biased, but I’ll try to be as objective as possible throughout this review.  Now, I know the X-Men Origins: Wolverine …

From The DC Universe Comes…

A bitch’in toy review!

From the “Crisis” series I present two 3 packs of 3-4 inch–G.I. Joe-sized heroes. Pack 3 offers Wonder Girl, Superman and Supergirl. Each figure has different points of articulation including joints at the knees and elbows, the heads turn and the shoulders rotate 360 degrees. The details are pretty good between the paint and molds. The package has a raised hand on the inside making the box itself an interesting collectible. The back of the box has the stats of the three characters with a little information on their powers and even their alternate names.
This set …
