You ever watch a good movie, read a good book, or go somewhere fun, and store it away in your memory? Then years later, you go back to that thing and its not nearly what you remember? Sometimes its better, sometimes it worse, and some times its just different than what your mind recorded. For me, I have a few examples: Masters of the … Read More Nostalgia Goggles.

So, it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these geek culture/figure reviews… a really long while. I may be a little rusty, but let’s dive in. I wanted to TRY to tackle the age-old ambiguity; what is a doll and what is an action figure? As anyone who’s been told to stop playing with their dolls by their mother, sister, gm, Carlton, … Read More The Thin Line Between Figure and Doll #ActionFigue #Doll #Opinion

So I’ve recently picked up a new book that I just stumbled on at a comic auction for $8… and it was money well spent, but I’ll get into that. The book title is White Widow. The plot from the kick starter: Story Gabrielle Garcia was a typical American girl going to college to follow in her father’s footsteps – or so she thought. … Read More White Widow, Initial Impressions #WhiteWidow #Comics #Superheroes #Indie

Hi All!!! So for no good reason other than I felt like doing it at the time, I went back and re-watched my favorite series from my childhood. Recently, I’ve been feeling extremely nostalgic for the icons of my childhood… the original NES, Saturday Morning Cartoons, the old transformers toys that no one could get right, Star Wars, the list goes on. I started … Read More Nostalgia Time!!! The Rewatch of Captain N #Nostalgia #Nintendo #Zelda #80s

This figure is a custom design done by Eric LeFeber of Insidious Customs and has been featured on several websites, including StarWarsCustom.net. I saw it on Ebay a few weeks ago and instantly fell in love with it. Hasbro and other companies have yet to release a 6in figure of her and the selection of figures available for this character are… well… let’s just say there’s … Read More Action Figure Review, Star Wars CUSTOM Black Series Mara Jade

Full disclaimer, I do not believe that all Star Wars fans are toxic, not by half. So please actually read my article before you get all hot under the collar one way or another. If you disagree with me, let’s talk about it in the comments. Okay, I know I’m treading on rather sensitive grounds here, but this is something I really think I … Read More The Death Of Star Wars: “Toxic” Fandom and Drama #StarWars #LucasFilm #Fans #TheMandalorian

All I can say is thank God for the secondary market. Half of the best figures would be impossible to acquire otherwise! I haven’t done one of these reviews in a while, so I thought I’d make today’s offiering a good one! Today I’m reviewing the Bandai S.H. Figuarts Padme Amidala Episode II Japanese (sigh) exclusive! Let me just start off by saying that … Read More Action Figure Review, Star Wars Bandai SH Figuarts Padme Amidala

This review was a year in the making. As everyone knows, the Funko Skyrim figures have been… limited. No, I’m serious, there are two. The Dragonborn and the Daedric lord. I don’t own one of the Daedra, so I can’t speak to it. (give me a break, they’re like $150 – $300 on eBay) However, I do feel like the Dragonborn figure is fairly … Read More Action Figure Review, Modded Serana. Skyrim Figure

I wasn’t sure I wanted to say anything about this… Honestly I don’t like getting involved in online controversies and drama. #ChangeTheChannel tends to fall in that category. So I may or may not leave this piece up, I haven’t decided yet. Enjoy it while it’s there. So full disclosure, my post about this is strictly my own opinions based on what I’ve heard … Read More The Fall of Channel Awesome…
