Release Date 12/10/2017 A little history: Hasbro, quite awesomely allowed people to vote for the next character that they wanted to see made into a figure.

Action Figure Collection Woes >:(

  So as most everyone knows… I’m huge into action figure collecting. There are two big ones I’m waiting for. The first and perhaps most important is a commissioned one-of-a-kind action figure. See I love Skyrim… but let’s face it, the figures that came out from the game kinda sucked! All they had was a Daedric lord and a fairly generic Dragonborn. Yeah sign me … Read More Action Figure Collection Woes 😡

DO NOT MESS WITH NERDS!

… I’m starting to think that abandoning Star Trek in it’s entirety was the best thing I could do. Will I watch it when it comes out? I mean I have a Netflix account, so I may give an episode or 2 a watch just to see how badly it will bomb, but otherwise no. […]

You Want More Trump? (Part 2)

Yeah Marvel is at it again… no narrative, no use of metaphor, no nothing… just straight up preaching and political activism. So glad I stopped collecting marvel. What’s more, it’s a false narrative based on hate and fear mongering. The ban isn’t a muslim ban. It’s a travel ban against nations that harbor terrorism. That’s all. There are plenty of other countries that Muslims … Read More You Want More Trump? (Part 2)

Star Wars Episode 2… What Could Have Been

Okay I’m not going to lie, Episode 2 was a major letdown. However, what made it even worse was when this fan-made trailer came out… Yeah… tell me that wasn’t more awesome than what we saw in theater!? Keep in mind, I wasn’t a film buff back when this was made. So there was a lot of movies that i hadn’t seen… so for … Read More Star Wars Episode 2… What Could Have Been

Custom Action Figures

I want to talk a little bit about action figures once more as I’m an avid collector of them. They’re fun to display, fun to collect, and certainly fun to play with your kids with… unless they’re the $30+ ones with fragile parts… then yeah, just the first two! But what about characters that don’t have action figures, either because they’re just not popular … Read More Custom Action Figures
