Don’t look now, but the first of two new episodes this week is here! Of course you’re not looking, you’d be listening. At least I hope you would. Anyway, this week we catch up on Jason Aaaron’s Thor: God of Thunder, round out the first arc on the new Nova series, and take our first … Continue reading →

So after an extended hiatus, most of which involved me taming the mighty task of relocating stuff into my newly owned storage unit, we’re back! Just in time for SDCC too, in case you’re not tired of hearing about how totally awesome this convention that I can’t manage to go to but 14 year olds … Continue reading →

Toy Fair is almost here, and after exercising a relatively large amount of restraint in going too crazy with this post so I could actually have it up in time, I’ve put together what I really want the different brands/lines to show me this year: stuff that would just leave me floored for the most part. … Continue reading →

Well another long day’s over and before I open my newly arrived shipment from Mattel, containing the Snake Men, Mekaneck, and Dragon Blaster Skeletor, or examining my package from Barnes & Noble which contains the last two volumes of 20th Century Boys and the new Sailor Moon, I’m going to try to get through this before my midnight … Continue reading →

Can you believe we’re back already? Last week everyone was absorbed in SDCC, this week everyone’s attention is being held by The Dark Knight Rises. Still, we’re here and we’re going to write another list of toys instead of doing something normal with our precious, precious non-job related time. Yay! If you haven’t already, you can … Continue reading →

Well, SDCC is officially over and while the various messageboards are turning trolling into a temporary marathon event, I’m trying to warp reality with my mind so that Hasbro will put up their con exclusives either today or Wednesday as opposed to a day where I have to work. If they spring up tomorrow, things … Continue reading →

That’s right guys; the day has finally come where me and Jaysun are teaming up on an article and what better way to start than with one of the most prominent of our many mutual fixations: Masters of the Universe! Mattel’s been cranking out the MOTU Classics line for nearly 5 years now and for … Continue reading →

Download HERE SDCC is almost here and right before Marvel announced the ridiculous sounding Uncanny Avengers, which basically spoils AvX, we conspired to speculate about what exactly it is we’re going to see revealed! Thrill to me and Jaysun bitching about Mattel! Wonder if Mike left the room or if he just fell asleep! Hear … Continue reading →

This is apparently the year when everyone decided to apply their dissatisfaction with George Lucas to everything else in the history of ever as I can guarantee that something like 3000 articles will appear about Brave not being as successful as the other Pixar films because it “betrays the brand” by seeming too much like a Disney … Continue reading →

I’m still in Paris but I’ve found time for some news in between hiking through the Louvre, watching movies that aren’t released domestically yet, and wondering if the Saber figma I saw in the window of a comic store might have faded any as a determinant in me buying it. – Hear Priest tell you … Continue reading →
