Weird Plastic Man Statue is Weird

Are you a comic fan that loves weird shit? Then this bizarre and nightmare inducing homemade Plastic Man statue might be just what you didn’t know you needed! I found this pop culture statue in a large antiques store in Milwaukee about a year or so ago and only just came across [...]

Superman Really Hates Cigarettes

Look, I’m not about to tell anyone what to do, but offering kids cigarettes in Metropolis seems like a pretty bad idea. Superman apparently murders anyone who offers kids cigarettes. Steal money, attack the city in a giant robot, that’s just the sort of thing that gets you into some sort of [...]

Action Figure Review: Hot Toys Joker 2.0

I was fortunate enough to pre-order the new Hot Toys Joker 2.0 based on the movie The Dark Knight. If I had any hesitance over the $275 price tag, it went away when I received this piece last week. And now that it seems to be sold out on every online story I’ve checked, I [...]

Lego Fortress of Solitude

Lego fan Chris Melby created a custom Fortress of Solitude for Superman, based closely on the Christophe Reeve films. Below are some shots of his beautiful creation or you can visit his Flickr account to see more.

An impressive build for the most impressive superhero.

Read on to see a few more shots.

The Smallville Ending

Smallville was a series that focused on the adventures of a young Clark Kent and his developing powers before he became the superhero known as Superman, which somehow lasted ten seasons. For some reason the show had fans and one of these fans posted his reactions as he watched them. His questionable taste didn’t [...]

Batman Merch in the American Mall of the 1980s

The late 1980s were a glorious time. Mullets were actually considered cool, women wore shoulder pads, and there was Batman merchandise based on the 1989 Batman film everywhere. You simply couldn’t escape Batman and it was wondrous. The above image is from a series of photos depicting life at Malls in the late 80s. [...]

Goodwill Hunting: Blast from the Past

One of my favorite features on the internet is William B. West’s “Thrift Justice”. Dude finds some seriously cool stuff. I never seem to find anything that great at thrift stores and when I do it’s usually a toy, so it goes under the Toy Hunt banner here on Robot’s Pajamas. But this time I [...]

Reviewing Superboy The Complete Second Season

Superman has appeared in various forms on the small screen since the 1950s and in all of his incarnations, it seems like the live action Superboy show is the least remembered. Was it some fiendish plot by Superboy’s enemies? Not really. Basically legal issues kept it from being released to home video or being [...]

Toy Hunt: Batman Slot Car Fun Time

Well, this was an unexpected find and purchase. Just yesterday my girlfriend let me know that a Marshall’s by me was closing and they were having 20% clearance off of everything. Hoping to pick up some new shoes (they didn’t have anything good), I wandered over to the toy aisle. Almost buried [...]

Lego Review: Batwing Battle Over Gotham City

I might be stepping on resident Lego reviewer Chris Piers toes here, but I figured that I’d do a little bit of a “review” of a Lego set I purchased, LEGO set 6863 Batwing Battle over Gotham City. And by review, I mean bragging about a Lego purchase.

There’s basically one reason I purchased [...]
