Equipment: League of Legends Dual Cities Action Figure Boxed Set from Spin Master

Some of you may wonder; just what is League of Legends? I didn’t know what it was until I looked it up but, in my defense, I am not the game guy for the site. Now I know that League of Legends is an online game developed in 2009 by Riot Games. League of Legends has also spawned an animated series on Netflix (Arcane) and a toy line from Spin Master. Actually the toys are based on Arcane, the television series. The first product from the League of Legends line we are looking at is the League of Legends Dual Cities pack. The Dual Cities pack comes with 5 figures, a stand for each figure and accessories.

I am sure that it comes to no surprise that I like toys. If I didn’t like toys, particularly action figures, I would say that I am in the wrong profession and that I have to throw out hundreds of figures. Fortunately, I am doing just what I love and Diamond Select is feeding that love with their new additions to their Star Wars figure line. Continue reading

Equipment: Hasbro Star Wars Reveals New Figures in Celebration of Bring Home the Bounty

The premiere of the Book of Boba Fett is only about 2 weeks away and like most of you, I can’t wait. When he was introduced, it appeared that he was going to be a bad ass bounty hunter who was the best at his job. That illusion was shattered when a semi-blind Han Solo took him out in Return of the Jedi, but the character is on the road to redemption. Seeing him in the Mandalorian made me even a bigger Boba Fett fan than I was before. Continue reading

Equipment: Lost in Space Action Figure 2-Pack Will Robinson and the Robot from Well Played Toys

I can’t believe that it has been 3 years since I first came across Well Played Toys at Toy Fair; it is a mildly amusing tale. I kept seeing signs around the convention about Lost in Space toys and a room number and I became determined to find their booth. Between interviews and other coverage my photographer and I began to search for this “mystery” room. Each time we asked for directions no one had a clue where this booth might be located. This whole matter became a running joke, we were sure we would never find the Lost in Space toys; I am glad that we were wrong.

The holiday season hasn’t always been my favorite time of year but there is one thing I love about the holidays, Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments. Each year the ornaments get more elaborate, such as the talking ones that interact or ones that have such fine detail. These ornaments are really something that could be displayed year-round because they are little works of art. Continue reading
