Equipment: New Jaeger Figures of Gipsy Avenger and Bracer Phoenix from Pacific Rim: Uprising

I have to admit that giant robots will always hold a place in my heart. Growing up I had television shows like Gigantor and Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot and from the big screen there was Mecha-Godzilla and Jet Jaguar. By the time the 1980s rolled around I had Robotech and Transformers. Now that I am an adult I still have a love for giant robots which is why I am a fan of the Pacific Rim movies. Continue reading

Hard Copy: The Art of Star Trek: The Kelvin Timeline Review

I have been a Star Trek fan all of my life. I wish I could recall when I watched the show for the first time but I don’t. My father says (though I really don’t believe it) that by the age of 5 I was able to recite the opening monologue from the original series word for word. Seriously though, “Space, the final frontier…” were the words that sparked the fire in my imagination. So in these few sentences you can come to the conclusion that I love the show. Continue reading

Equipment: Marvel Legends 12 Inch Deadpool Review

There aren’t many affordable 12 inch figures on the market that are well made and have multiple points of articulation. This is why I am grateful for the Marvel Legends line from Hasbro. The figures in this collection have continually impressed me. So far Hasbro has produced Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Thor just to name a few. We have already reviewed a couple of them and now we are here to review the “Merc with a mouth” Deadpool. Continue reading

Equipment: New from Hasbro Avengers: Infinity Wars the Hulk Out Hulkbuster Action Figure

Avengers: Infinity War had everything, action, romance, humor and it had a Hulk (that line is funny if you saw the movie). Since the Hulk is one of the strongest of all the Avengers and is subject to uncontrollable mood swings Tony Stark (aka-Iron Man) had to create something that could potentially stop him. Because of the Hulk’s strength Tony Stark knew he had to create something as big as the Hulk so Stark created the “Hulkbuster” armor.
