Equipment: New from Hasbro The Black Panther 12 Inch Marvel Legends Action Figure

Posted on 2018/02/15 by James

Some people think they were born in the wrong time. Sadly, I am one of those who wish I was born in a different time. While many with this belief wish to have been born in an earlier, simpler time I wish I had been born later; toys are so much better now. We are living in an age where comic books and superheroes are mainstream. Kids these days have some of the coolest toys (that line needs to be read in a grumpy old man voice followed by the line, “Get off my lawn!”).

One of the toy lines I have been very impressed with is the Marvel Legends 12 inch figure line from Hasbro. This ever growing figure line includes: Captain America, Deadpool (2 versions), Thor, Spider-Man (2 versions), Iron Man, Wolverine and Daredevil (a San Diego Comic Con exclusive) and now Black Panther.

Training Simulations: Looney Labs’ Best-Selling Line of Fluxx Games Adds Star Trek to Their Long List of Pop Culture Brands

Posted on 2018/02/09 by James

Looney Labs has partnered with Gale Force Nine to announce two new Fluxx games featuring Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation at New York Toy Fair, Feb. 17 – 20. Each Fluxx will feature the most popular characters from each series including Captain Kirk and Captain Picard.

Fluxx is a card game with ever changing rules! The game play starts out simple: draw one card and play one card – but New Rule cards quickly make things chaotic. Even the object of the game will often change as you play, as players swap out one Goal card for another.
“I’ve been watching Star Trek since 1972, when I was 9 years old, tuning into the animated series on Saturday mornings,” said Andrew Looney, CCO at Looney Labs and designer of Fluxx. “I’ve watched every series since, so it’s safe to say I’m a pretty big Star Trek fan. I’m VERY excited about working with this license!” Continue reading →
