Continuing my foray into nostalgic video game figures, I just picked up the Contra set from Premium DNA toys:   These are some pretty amazing figures. They have an insane number of accessories (seriously, they each come with 12 different…   Read more»

@brasco Nice!
My wife actually has a few herself… she collects the music POPs. Right now, she has U2 on display next to her record player / albums.
And, in all honesty, I did pick up the Street Sharks POPs – only because you can’t even tell they’re POPs… they don’t have the exaggerated POP heads (because they ALWAYS have exaggerated…Read more

Caution: MHA is an acquired taste… and he uses foul language.
But, beside that, this movie Origins Skeletor looks awesome!!!
This continues Mattel’s extra bit of TLC with the movie-based figures. I can’t wait to add him to my collection! 😎 

Thanks!
Now he’s ruined for me!! 😉
 

 
The detailing is great… but I feel the overall, finished design did not coalesce like they intended… 

@lurker-man Yeah, it’s a shame that they decided to start with satire instead of going the more serious fantasy route… that decision could railroad any future Golden Axe projects if it bombs. 🙁

While I would love as much as they could possibly find to put back into this movie, 4 minutes is still awesome. It doesn’t sound like a lot of time, but for someone like me who watches this movie more often than anyone should, it will have a big impact.
Can’t wait!

So, I was at Target yesterday and saw that they added the refreshed He-Man and Skeletor to the movie figure display. (I gotta say, the refreshed figures don’t look as sharp as the original Origins versions… the colors are much…   Read more»

SBS Duncan is my most anticipated of all the Sketch figures so far. He just looks like a fun toy.
 

Five weeks in the top spot is nothing to sneeze at… especially considering all of the competition.

*meh*
I’m happy for those who collect them, but POPs are not my thing.
One day, there will be a huge swath of land used as a dumping ground for the billions of Funko POP toys in existence… future alien civilizations will wonder if these things were like gods or idols to us, lol.

So, Paramount is making a Golden Axe cartoon and it’s….. um, a comedy? Satire? Parody? Mockery?I don’t understand this fascination with taking something serious (Golden Axe should me a mix of Conan and D&D) and turning it into a self-humiliating,…   Read more»

More sad news… 😞 

I still play both War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron on my PS3… they are great games and were ahead of their time back when they released. Graphically, they still hold up well today… something I chalk up to the fact that they use the Unreal Engine 3.
I also have the Making of War for Cybertron book and the Fall of Cybertron Artbook.…Read more

Also, on the topic, sad news… 😞
