Thanks to the success of the Marvel 
Cinematic Universe (MCU) superheroes are everywhere. I know I have said it before but where were these toys when we were kids? Sure we had G.I. Joes and we could pretend that a particular Joe was Captain America or Thor but there really wasn’t any way to piece together a proper Bat-suit or Iron Man armor for a 12-inch figure. Now kids of all ages can have an action figure of their favorite hero. Needless to say you wouldn’t give an expensive 12 inch fully poseable figure to a little kid. Continue reading

Transmissions: Review of Season 1 of Star Trek: Discovery
I had been a bit apprehensive about watching 
the latest incarnation of Star Trek, Star Trek: Discovery; a new Trek is a prequel set 10 years before Kirk commanded the Enterprise.
