Thing & Doombot Minimates

While I typically don’t go out of my way to get Minimates, if I can get a good deal on them I’ll pick them up. Such is the case here. The Doombot and Thing were on sale. Honestly, I couldn’t... 

Gambit (Marvel Select)

  If you have read any of my past Marvel reviews, you may have guessed I was a Gambit fan. I’ve reviewed the older Toy Biz Gambit and the Minimates version previously. So it should be no... 

Deluxe Frost Giant

Right off the gate, I knew that the one figure I would like to have, from the 2011 Thor line by Hasbro, was the Deluxe Frost Giant. This figure appeared at stores right alongside the regular basic characters... 

Whiplash (Mega Bloks)

I thought since there was a new series of Marvel Mega Bloks figures, I’d tempt fate and get one. I ended up with Whiplash from Iron Man 2. I needed a bad guy to go with War Machine and Spidey,... 

Essential Captain America Volume 1

Okay. I’m sorry. I didn’t go see Captain America in theaters. Wanted to, just never made it. Now that I have that out of the way, let’s get on with the show. Before the film came out,... 

Crossbones

Crossbones is possibly the most striking figure released in the second wave of figures for the Captain America: the First Avenger movie line. For starters, the color scheme is real easy to spot on the... 

Captain America (Super Combat)

Captain America might be the movie I’m most excited to see this year. I just hope we get some action figure goodness out of it. Yeah, I know Thor and Green Lantern are out. And I know Transformers... 

Heroclix War Machine

This is going to be a bit of a short one. I’m not a Heroclix player, but I couldn’t pass up a mini War Machine. This particular Marvel hero was a Free Comic Book Day 2o1o give away. My local... 

Ghost Rider (Marvel Universe)

Ghost Rider has always had that seventies comic book feel to me. The lone motorcycle riding antihero who finds himself entangled with elements of the supernatural. To be a popular book in the seventies... 

Guardian (Toy Biz ToyFare Exclusive)

Alpha Flight is one of the few team books I read consistently. Ironically, I didn’t start reading it until after Guardian was dead. Well, he wasn’t really dead, but…never mind that. James... 

Rogue & Beast Minimates

Well, you knew if I had Gambit, I was going to have get the set with Rogue. I have to say that would have seemed like the more natural pairing for a two pack. I suppose they sell more this way. Both of... 

Spider Man (Super Poseable)

Roughly at the same time Hasbro started making their Marvel Universe line, they also launched the Fiercest Foes of Spiderman line. Not unlike the Marvel movie licensed lines, these figures are done... 

Jean Grey & Cyclops (90′s) Minimates

Yes, if Marvel Monday falls on Valentines day there are only a couple of choices for a review, I’m picking the other one. Jean Grey & Cyclops. The tortured couple who seem to need to be together... 

Gambit & Psylocke Minimates

I don’t collect a lot of superhero stuff. I find some of it very cool and can appreciate it; I just don’t have unlimited space and funds. That said I happened to be at Discount Comic Book Service... 

Havok

One thing you’ll notice shortly after starting reading comics, is how much alike the storylines are when compared to soap operas. You get betrayals, long lost relatives, amnesia and people that just... 

Iron Man Mk.VI (Power Up Glow)

According to the movie series, the Mark VI Iron Man armor is the latest iteration of armored suits built by Tony Stark. As such, it was featured prominently in the second movie and Hasbro followed suit... 

Luke Cage

Luke Cage (a.k.a. Power Man) was released in 2010 as part of the second (H.A.M.M.E.R.) series of figures in the Hasbro’s Marvel Universe line. For this series, Hasbro upped the ante by offering a few... 

Retro Review – Daredevil (Marvel Superhero Showdown)

Although Hasbro seems to be doing rather well nowadays with their Marvel Universe figures, they were not the first ones to make 1:18 scale Marvel characters. Back in 2005, Toy Biz launched their Marvel... 

Storm & Nightcrawler (Secret Wars Comic Pack)

Marvel Universe is one line I don’t collect regularly. Most of what I got comes from 3 X 2 sales and similar promotions, but nonetheless, I am starting to amass a fairly decent crowd of spandex-clad... 

“The Amazing Spiderman – The Mark of the Man-Wolf” Book & Record

MovieBrainRot brought this up the other day on Twitter, and it brought back some fond childhood memories of Books and Records. I know some of the kids out there are saying, “Records?” But...
