Friday Round Up: Movies, Comics, Toys and Moar! Always Moar!

Movie Stuff

Iron Man 3: Well Iron Man 3 is coming out and… I don’t know if I’ll see it in a theater. I don’t know why, but I’m just not that into Iron Man movies. I didn’t see 2 until it was on Netflix Instant last year. I guess it doesn’t help that [...]

Scientifically Accurage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Fairly NSFW)

Want to make a beloved cartoon and toy franchise super gross and creepy? Add some science! The scientifically accurate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been shown on almost every geek site, but I figure it would be worth sharing here in case you missed it. Plus it made me laugh really hard. I must [...]

G.I. Joe Con 2013: A Dealer Booth Adventure

The 2013 International G.I. Joe Convention sure had one thing going for it… Lot’s of sweet ass stuff to buy! I took pictures of some of the bizarre, ultra rare, and just plain cool stuff I saw available at the dealer booths to share with you all. (Click on the images to supersize them.)

Toy Tragedy: Soundwave, a Love Lost and then Found

The most bad ass of the Transformers.

I had several phases of toy obsessions in childhood. As a child of the ’80s a love of Transformers, even a temporary one, was practically mandated by law. My favorite Transformer was by far Soundwave. While his transformation was sort of lame (cassette tape player), he was [...]

Kenner’s Robocop: Ultra Violence for Kids!

What makes a great basis for a kid’s cartoon and toy line? An ultra violent R-rated film! That’s right nerds, it’s time to slap your eye orbs with Robocop and Ultra Police from Kenner.

Several R rated movie properties made it into toy form in the 1980s and Robocop from Kenner a personal favorite [...]

League of Extraordinary Bloggers: Auction House Shopping Spree!

There’s this group called the “League of Extraordinary Bloggers” where each week they tackle various topics. Since I’m not a joiner (mostly because I can’t be held to a regular thing) I haven’t joined in… until now!

The challenge this week was to go over to the Hakes America website and pick out anything [...]

Robot’s PJs’ New York Toy Fair 2013 Picks

For those of you not into toys, the New York Toy Fair happened last week. That’s where some of the biggest news in the toy world happens, since toy makers are trying to convince retailers to pick up their products. Us nerds can revel in all the toy news of what is coming out. As [...]

MechaWhales: Whales in Robot Suits, Because Why Not?

Out of the mind of the internet, Mechawhales was born! Whales with ESP that don mechanized suits of armor and battle it out. Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water… whales start wearing robot suits.

Not only is the adult collectible toy only 45 bucks (which isn’t that [...]

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 [...]
