Posted on 2021/09/29 by James

As Autumn is upon us, Citizen is launching new styles to it Star Wars Collection for consumers to commemorate the iconic franchise.

The Star Wars Ana-Digi Collection was created to have a vintage appeal and authentic styling that pays homage to the Original Trilogy. Citizen originally introduced the ANA-DIGI TEMP model in the 1980s. This model was both popular in the local Japan market as well as globally. As the name suggests, this watch combines both analog and digital elements together in a unique design. The ANA-DIGI TEMP does more than just display the time, it is a multifunctional watch that also includes a Celsius temperature sensor. This popular model with its iconic, retro-futuristic square shape was reissued in 2018 in collaboration with Beams. Continue reading →

Equipment: Star Wars the Black Series Gaming Greats 6-Inch RC-1138 (BOSS) Figure Coming Exclusively to GameStop

Posted on 2021/09/29 by James

This past Tuesday Hasbro announced another retailer exclusive. The figure this time is another video game related Gaming Great which is set to be only available at GameStop. Personally, I really like the Gaming Greats figures even though some of them are just repaints. While others receive different accessories just to make the figure appear a bit altered. One of my favorites is the Scout Trooper from Star Wars: Fallen Order. Even though he is just like the other Scout Troopers I have he came with an electro riot baton and a shoulder pauldron, thus I needed that for my collection as well.

Equipment: Marvel Select Gladiator Hulk from Diamond Select Toys

Posted on 2021/09/28 by James

I have heard collectors use the term “grail” when referring to a highly sought after figure or item. I don’t think that there was any one figure out there that I needed so much that I would call it my “grail.” The only figure that might meet these criteria would have to be the Gladiator Hulk in the Marvel Select line from Diamond Select Toys. I missed out when it was first released and I thought I would never have one for my collection; this is the one time that being wrong was a good thing. I finally have my Hulk. Continue reading →

Equipment: Marvel Select Captain America Civil War from Diamond Select Toys Unboxing and Review

Posted on 2021/09/28 by James

Long before superhero movies were main-stream; a time when comics were only for little kids and adults who still lived with their parents, I was a big Captain America fan. I don’t know what it was about Cap, but whenever we played Marvel superheroes, I wanted to be Captain America. I remember being quite impressive with a metal garbage pail lid. Safe to say I am a fan. I even have multiple versions of Captain America’s action figures, but up until recently I didn’t have Captain America from Civil War. Continue reading →

Released in 2001, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within had an all-star cast including Ming-Na Wen, James Woods, Keith David, Alec Baldwin, Peri Gilpin, Steve Buscemi and Donald Sutherland.
