By Nolan P Smith Editor Now you face…The Shredder. For this review, I turn my attention to the most iconic and well-known Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles villain of all time, the Shredder. From the BST AXN lineup from The Loyal Subjects, the main antagonist for the heroes in a half shell comes ready to slice and dice in all his […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor When you think of the greatest comic book series of all time, The Sandman is usually in at least the top 5. Neil Gaiman’s masterpiece of creating his own mythological pantheon while being a love letter to superheroes and the fragility of humanity. Reprinted and championed as one of the best in the art form […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor When Hiya Toys announced they were making figures based on Judge Dredd, I was blown away. Based on the 2000A.D. comic book series, the series boast a slew of Judges and villains. For the San Diego Comic-Con this year, Previews had an exclusive black and white set of Judge Dredd vs. Judge Death- when I […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor I have been a fan of the company The Loyal Subjects for a long time, ever since my brother took me to their booth at SDCC many years ago. Back then, they started their action vinyl figures, like two packs of Transformers. Fast forward to now, and The Loyal Subjects have evolved their vinyl line […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor Over the years, Jordan Peele has successfully shed his funnyman image and has proven he is a filmmaker to be reckoned with. Whether it’s his powerful debut Get Out or his sophomore effort Us, he takes on society as a whole and shines a light on the real monsters in the world. Like all good […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor McFarlane Toys has been running the action figure game for a long time. From the time of Todd Toys, we have seen waves and waves of all kinds of action figures: dragons, NFL players, military, movie-themed, and, my favorite- the Spawn line of figures. Bringing to life his own creations, we got so many impressive, […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor For our last Super7 review that counted down to the start of the pop culture mega event, the San Diego Comic-Con, I am checking out my second figure from the new Transformers Ultimates! lineup. Today I will check out one of the best designs for a Transformer, Banzai-Tron. The figure comes decked out in the […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor Centurions was one of the coolest cartoons and toy lines when I was a kid. I remember having the Max Ray action figure, but being a young kid, that was too hard of a name to remember, so I called him “Power Guy.” He towered over my other action figures and had holes for weapons […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor Of the vast licenses that Super7 has, one of the most interesting has to be the Toxic Crusaders. Inspired by the violent Toxic Avenger film, Toxic Crusaders was a kid-friendly animated series that was more about environmental awareness than gore. The protagonist is Toxie, a loveable misfit with an unsightly appearance. Super7 has released a […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor McFarlane Toys has taken over toy aisles across the globe. From their own impressive Spawn figures to the ultra-popular DC Multiverse and more, Todd McFarlane’s toy company has spanned so many licenses in the last few years, and one of the most exciting has to be the Disney Mirrorverse lineup. For this review, I look […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor The supergroup Czarface has been taking over hip hop for years now. Comprised of 7L, Estoeric, and Inspectah Deck of the infamous Wu-Tang Clan, Czarface has taken on a life of its own. Thanks to Z2 Comics, we can now deep dive into the backstory of the metal-headed hero with Czarface: a Czar is Born. […]
By Jason T SmithCreative Editor By now, everyone knows what Thundercats Ultimates by Super7 are, and they should know that they just keep getting better. The last time I reviewed the Snowman of Hook Mountain from Wave 4 and I thought it couldn’t get any better. Well, I was wrong. I just opened up another figure from that same wave, […]
By Nolan P. Smith Editor Our Super7 Saturdays continue with my first review of the new Transformers Ultimates! line. When you think of Transformers, the first one that comes to mind is the heroic leader of the Autobots: Optimus Prime. When it was announced that Super7 would be creating a 7-inch line of non-transforming Transformers, there were the skeptics for […]
By Nolan P. Smith Editor Mad Cave Studios once again brings the world a comic of wonderment and action with The Tiger’s Tongue. A story of mysticism and destiny, the book takes you deep into a world you want to keep diving into. From Olivia Stephens, Diansakhu Banton-Perry, Bex Glendining, and Joamette Gil, The Tiger’s Tongue is about a young warrior […]
By Jason T Smith Creative Editor Top-of-the-line premium Thundercats figures are nothing new to toy giant Super7 with their wildly popular Thundercats Ultimates line, and the Snowman of Hook Mountain does not disappoint. Snowman is the Abominable Snowman that eventually becomes an ally to Lion-O in the 1980’s television series, which I watched religiously. I was stoked when this guy […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor When Super7 first announced they were creating a line of Disney Ultimates figures, I was beside myself. The Ultimates line is my favorite current action figure line, as they have brought the world Conan, Toxic Crusader, Voltron, Thundercats, and more. Now, with the house of mouse under their wing, we get one of the most […]
By Craig Timchak With the introduction of the “Year of Spawn,” the Spawn Universe grew heavily between the record-breaking issue count of Spawn along with the addition of King Spawn, Scorched, and Gunslinger Spawn. Each series has its strengths and pieces of the puzzle to contribute to the whole. Gunslinger Spawn is written by Todd McFarlane with artwork throughout the […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor Warhammer 40,000 has some of the most fantastic character designs I have ever seen. Thanks to Bandai Collectibles, I checked out one of their Premium Bandai Warhammer figures, the Imperial Fists Intercessor. One of the first thing I notice about this figure is the weight- it’s light, but in a way that allows for way […]
By Nolan P. Smith Editor When you think of pop culture, wallets don’t usually come to mind right away. MGear aims to change that with their latest and customizable wallet, the Gadget Wallet 3.0. When I learned about this wallet, I knew I had to try it out. I am usually a bulky wallet guy, but the slim wallets have […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor The Animal Warriors of the Kingdom line from Spero Toys have been fantastic. Their anamorphic warriors in 3 3/4 scale add depth to anyone’s 1/18th scale collection. With their deluxe line of figures, they created larger, more imposing characters to tower over the regular lineup. I am checking out the notorious Benghus Kahn today, diving […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor Editor Madballs were all the rage when I was a kid. The disgusting squishy balls that struck a balance between putrid and perfect were a hit. Now, in 2022, the Madballs have returned as action figures thanks to the new toy company Premium DNA Toys, and I am doing my first ever Madballs review on […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor Halo is a mega-franchise if I have ever seen one. Ever since Master Chief arrived on the scene with the original Xbox, the sci-fi saga following the spartans has become far more than just a game series. Today, I am checking out one of the most excellent spartan designs for armor- Spartan Yoroi. The Yoroi […]
By Jason T. Smith Creative Editor ThreeZero is known for their premium quality non-transforming Transformers figures, and their latest is their best one yet. That one being the new Transformers MDLX Bumblebee, a smaller-scale figure that packs a masterpiece punch! Standing at almost 5 inches tall, this guy has the same caliber paint job you would find on the larger […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor Nicolas Cage has portrayed a wide array of characters over his illustrious career. He’s played the teenage heartthrob in Valley Girl, an incompetent bank robber in Raising Arizona, an FBI chemical warfare expert in The Rock, and a convict trying to get home to his wife and daughter in Con Air. In what might very […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor It’s so hard to pin down a movie like Everything Everywhere All At Once. Being one of those movies that are hard to describe and oversell at the same time, it manages to draw from so many different influences but still feels completely unique. Filmmakers Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (collectively known as Daniels) have […]
By Jason T. SmithCreative Editor Fighting Armor Deadpool. Those three words alone are enough to get me to buy an action figure without even seeing it. It just sounds so badass, especially if you’re a Deadpool fan. Thanks to the good folks over at Bluefin/Bandai, I did see it and touch it. They were kind enough to grace us with […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor One of my favorite characters to come out of the G.I. Joe universe is the man himself, Sgt Slaughter. Not to mention, he is one of the most remarkable characters to hit the squared circle of professional wrestling. Thanks to new company Valaverse and their new Action Force line, the legend lives on as Sgt […]
By Nolan P Smith Editor If you ask me who my favorite superheroes are, Moon Knight is always on the list. I have been a fan of the character since I was a kid, so to see this series become a reality has blown me away. But, in my opinion, Disney doesn’t always hit a home run with their series, […]
By Nolan P. Smith Editor I am a huge fan of professional wrestling games: from No Mercy and Wrestle Fest to the Smackdown series and more, I have been a fan of all, even if some of the games weren’t the best. With WWE 2K22, 2K takes the squared circle to new heights, with new modes, a robust roster, and […]
By Nolan P. Smith Editor I love indie games, so I was excited to dive into the world of 35MM from Sometimes You. Atmospheric, brooding, and mysterious, this little game will pull you in before you know it. So what is it about? 35MM is a post-apocalyptic slow burn adventure that takes you and your friend through a land torn […]
