Equipment: A Crowded Coop Offers Up Some Awesome Licensed Products for the Everyday Geek
I do so enjoy meeting like-minded people. Toy Fair and conventio
ns are great places to meet people with similar interests but when you meet someone who shares your opinion on a subject it is (to steal a phrase), priceless. The folks over at A Crowded Coop and I are definitely on the same page when it comes to licensed products. A Crowded Coop believes that a product from, let’s say, Portal, doesn’t need to say “Portal” on it as long as the people who want it know what it is from. You don’t need a “Starfleet Academy” shirt to have “Star Trek” on it because if you know Starfleet you know it is from Star Trek. Continue reading

Hard Copy: HARLAN ELLISON’S ACCLAIMED STAR TREK SCRIPT COMES TO COMICS
Star Trek: The Original Series episode “City on the Edge of Forever” is re

Equipment: McFarlane Toys at Toy Fair 2014 Part 1 The Walking Dead, Halo and More
Toy Fair 2014 is behind us and ahead of us, are mountains of glo
rious goodies that make the 12 year old inside drool. Back when I went to Toy Fair that first time, I had envisioned that it would be akin to Santa’s workshop. It is nothing like the workshop at the North Pole…it is better. Because Toy Fair is so massive I have had to pick and choose where I stop. Since I am someone who loves action figures, the McFarlane booth draws me back year after year. McFarlane produces figures from horror, video game and sports offering up a little something for any fandom. Continue reading
