Hot Toys | The Dark Knight Rises | Bane
Every so often a villain comes around that is so formidable they fundamentally shake the foundation of the Earth. For Batman, that was Bane, a ruthless mercenary who, in the comic book world, was the first to break the Bat. Hot Toys quickly announced their intentions to make figures based on the movie The Dark Knight Rises and for me, Bane was a highly anticipated figure. Continue Reading
Hasbro | Star Wars Black 6″ | Boba Fett
I was sold on the 6" Black Series with Boba Fett but the prices were so outrageous I tabled the idea of getting it. Being in Hawaii, if you're not fast enough, the good stuff disappears quickly and I had never seen this figure in the wild, so I figured I'd acquire him through buying a case of figures instead. I'm happy to say it was a great purchase. Continue Reading
Mattel | MOTU Classics | Hordak (Filmation)
The 2014 San Diego Comic-Con Masters of the Universe Classics exclusive was met with a rather lukewarm reception from a lot of collectors. Most felt a bit betrayed by what seemed like a lack of effort or care on Mattel's part.

I actually really wanted it and since a lot of people didn't, I felt better knowing I could probably get one despite not being able to go to Comic-Con. Continue Reading
Hot Toys | The Avengers | Iron Man (MK VII)
I was curious to see exactly what Marvel had in mind when they decided to boot up their new movie universe with Iron Man. He wasn't exactly on the top of the list of characters, but I was still anxious to see exactly how the movie would turn out. The end result was something remarkable and really propelled Marvel to the next level with a lot of the success due to portrayal of Tony Stark by Robert Downey Jr. Continue Reading
DST | Star Trek: The Next Generation | Enterprise Crew
Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum produced a large number of Star Trek figures in the last seven or so years. To be fair, I'm going to do my best to look at them as if it were back in 2006-2007 when these figures started to hit. Hopefully I can be as objective as possible and rather than each figure individually, I'm going to look at them as a group. Continue Reading
