Transformers: Headmasters Episode 32 Recap – “My Friend Sixshot!”

What happens when you take the best character from the Headmasters show and pair him with the worst character? Does one drag down the other? Does one bring the other up? Do they meet in the middle? You’ll have to decide. This episode is called “My Friend Sixshot!” and it begins with the Autobots chasing [...]

Transformers: Headmasters Episode 31 Recap – “Operation: Destroy the Decepticons”

Last episode, the Decepticons successfully blackmailed the Autobots into getting blueprints to make a shield capable of defending against the Autobot’s greatest weapon: the master sword. They were on the planet Master which had the metal needed for the shield. This week, are they still there? Or will they move on to their next plan? [...]

G.I. Joe Con 2013: Dios and Customs Part 1

Well this update is long over due. I have a bunch of pics left to post from Joe Con 2013 and it’s way past time to share them. This post will feature the custom figures and dios that I liked a lot. Part two will feature my two most favorite. Some of the pics are [...]

Transformers: Headmasters Episode 30 Recap – “The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide”

If you want my opinion, this was the most boring episode yet of the show. It’s called “The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide” but I don’t know how accurate it is. Last week, the Decepticons successfully blackmailed the Autobots into getting ahold of the blueprints to their greatest weapon: the Master Sword. This week, they [...]

G.I. Joe Figure Subscription Service Round 2.0!

In a move somewhat similar to the subscription based model of Masters of the Universe Classics, the G.I. Joe Fan Club set up a subscription service for G.I. Joe figures last year. In all there are 13 figures from this first round (the 13th being a surprise figure). Out of the 13 figures initially offered [...]

Transformers: Headmasters Episode 29 Recap – “The Master Sword is in Danger”

I’m not sure what the theme of this week’s episode is but I do know its motif – pointing. The animators went pointing-finger crazy. It’s probably not a great sign when that’s the first thing I notice, but it is what it is. This episode is called “The Master Sword is in Danger” and it [...]

Toy Hunt: NECAs Dutch, Robocop, and Predator!

I’m on a bit of a NECA Toys kick lately, since I realized how sweet it is to be able to own pop culture icons from the 1980s all in the same scale. Read on to see three of the NECA figures I’ve aquired recently: Jungle Patrol Dutch, Robocop with Spring Loaded [...]

Transformers: Headmasters Episode 28 Recap – “Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters” (Part 2)

Last episode ended with the Transformers in space and the Autobots were trying to dispose of a massive bomb. While the three new Autobot warriors fought the three new Decepticons, who all happened to have gun-related names but no guns, some refugee Transformers from planet Master met the Autobots and flew the bomb deeper into [...]

Transformers: Headmasters Episode 27 Recap – “Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters” (Part 1)

It’s been a while since the show introduced new characters so here comes a two-parter trying to convince us there are some new toys – excuse me, characters that we should love. We open part 1 of “Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters” at the Autobot base on Earth. It pans past Jetfire! But he doesn’t do anything. By the [...]

Toy Hunt: Free Comic Book Day 2013 Edition

Rejoice! It’s another Toy Hunt! This time featuring goodies I picked up during Free Comic Book day 2013.

I went to my sort of local comic / toy / and game shop Lost World of Wonders. I showed up an hour after opening and there was a big [...]
