Review: S.H. Figuarts Perfect Cell
Christmas! A Time for new toys, and that’s just what I got! To complement my fantastic Figuarts Trunks, I received a Figuarts Perfect Cell for maximum fighting action (courtesy of fellow Planned Banter official Richard)! Perfect Cell is commonly referred by Dragonball Z fans as the point they loved the show more or less. He … Continue reading
S.H. Figuarts Trunks: Review
Continuing with Bandai’s tradition of making high quality, high articulated figures of franchises I love, S.H. Figuarts Trunks (from Dragonball Z) has arrived in my home. Via purchasing in stores. The MonsterArts figures have left a HIGH impression of quality in my collection. How will Trunks fair? Packaging Trunks arrives in the standard S.H. FiguArts … Continue reading
Review: Hasbro Marvel Legends Wave 2 Thunderball and Piledriver
No sooner than the Terrax wave of Hasbro’s new Marvel Legends saw release, the Arnim Zola wave was already appearing (and seemingly not appearing at the moment). While I think Hasbro’s holding off on a massive release of these because they were focusing on toys for The Avengers, I don’t think they’re gone yet. Anyway, how’d the … Continue reading
Review: Figma Robocop
In the pantheon of movies I probably had no right to see at the age of 4, Robocop is probably the one I loved the most.

Review: MOTUC Shadow Weaver
The Masters of the Universe Classics line is entering it’s third round of a year long sub and this year’s bonus figure for subscribers was Shadow Weaver. She’s probably the most popular and well-known of the Filmation characters this side of Granamyr, so it makes sense that Mattel would make such a highly desirable character … Continue reading
Review: DC Universe Classics Wave 20 Reverse-Flash
After all the overwhelming excitement and positive energy of the past few toy reviews, I thought it’d be a good time to look at something I recently found that balances things out a little: a figure from the 20th wave of Mattel’s DC Universe Classics line. Of course, by “balance out”, I mean this is … Continue reading
Review: G.I. Joe Renegades/30th Anniversary Storm Shadow
It took one extended and intense search but I was finally able to locate the obnoxiously low-packed Renegades Storm Shadow. Is he a spritual successor to the much beloved POC V. 3 Snake-Eyes? Storm Shadow is, from what I can tell, a 100% new tool from the top of his two heads to the tips … Continue reading
Review: G.I. Joe Renegades/30th Anniversary Law & Order
I’ve been looking at Wave 4 of the G.I. Joe Anniversary collection for the past few weeks and was surprised by 3 of the 4 new figures that were in the assortment despite my already high expectations for them. Will Military Policeman (and secondary specialist in Intelligence ) Law, alongside canine companion Order, impress me as … Continue reading
