Equipment: New from Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as the Ghostbusters

Posted on 2017/11/07 by James

The original Ghostbusters’ movie has real staying power. Aside from the 80s music the movie actually holds up for the new millennia. When Ghostbusters first hit the screen in 1984 it broke records. Ghostbusters held the record for highest grossing comedy movie until Home Alone came along in 1990. I must admit that Ghostbusters earned that title and really should have kept it but, that’s life. Surprisingly Ghostbusters are still popular and even my nieces and nephews, who weren’t even a gleam in their parent’s eyes in 1984, know and love this movie. Continue reading →

Equipment: Marvel Select Destroyer Figure from Diamond Select Toys

Posted on 2017/10/11 by James

I must admit that I never read Thor comics when I was a kid. Hell, even as an adult I never read Thor comics. My first real exposure to The God of Thunder was the cheesy Marvel Cartoon from the 1960’s (I can still hear the theme song in my head). I don’t remember the Destroyer being in the cartoon but I do remember it in the 2011 movie.
The Destroyer is Asgardian armor that has been forged by Odin. In the movie, Loki sends the armor to kill Thor while is on Earth and powerless. The Destroyer has the ability to shoot powerful beams of energy from his face-plate. These devastating blasts leveled many of the buildings in the small town where Thor was staying. It wasn’t until Thor regained his power that he was able to defeat the magical armor. Continue reading →
