Review: NECA Predators Wave 8 Jungle Hunter Predator
NECA continues to pique my interest with their various licenses, and with as much as I was completely blown away by Dutch, I knew that I had to have the matching Predator to go with him. I’ll admit that I’m unsure about the origins of this sculpt. I don’t think it’s 100% new, but is … Continue reading
Review: NECA Predators Wave 8 Jungle Patrol Dutch
NECA’s Predators may be the longest lasting line the company has put out and is definitely one of their biggest successes. Starting out with product specifically for Predators, the various waves have included characters from just about every corner of Fox’s franchise, now including Big Red from Batman: Dead End and even some upcoming figures from Kenner’s old 90’s Predator line. … Continue reading
Episode 112: Shutting Off The Electricity For The Night
Just when I thought I was safe to plan future purchases, Toy Fair happens and annihilates all those carefully constructed plots! I don’t mind though considering the incredible stuff out there and this show is going to have a lot of it spent painfully accounting for all of it! Then we actually do a new … Continue reading
Action Figures in 2013: My obnoxious, totally biased hopes and wishes
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
Review: NECA Half-Life 2 Gordon Freeman
Even though I haven’t bought much of their stuff lately, it’s been a spectacular year for NECA. The Alien, Predator, Terminator, and Robocop licenses now all sit under one roof, with multiple pieces available from each property. Prometheus seems ready to get the same enthusiastic treatment. The Gremlins product is both varied and successful. I’ve no doubt that The Hunger Games license is already yielding some huge profit … Continue reading
Monday News Nightmare: Thank-pocalypse
Our long national nightmare is over, or at least that of anybody who has to work the Thanksgiving holiday instead of doing the normal stuff those not shackled to the service industry have to suffer. While many people with real jobs were giving me a hellacious time at work, a weekend that’s now the biggest … Continue reading
Review: NECA Robocop with Spring-loaded holster
NECA continues to roll out product from some of the most beloved films of the 1980’s, covering pretty much every different Predator you could imagine alongside most of the more recognizable Gremlins. One license they’ve been running with has been Robocop where they’ve rendered the titular character in a variety of ways. This is the fourth Robocop … Continue reading
Action Figures in 2012: What should happen and what needs to
All loyal listeners/readers know that I’m a big toy collector despite any of the potentially sane and or presentable hobbies available to me out there. As someone who lives at the whims of several plastic magnates, I like to think an awful lot about what it is specifically I’d like to see them fix and … Continue reading
