by Howard Decker March 26, 2013

Thumbnail image for G.I. Joe: Retaliation is a Better G.I. Joe Story, But Not a Great Movie

Oh boy, this one’s gonna cause some fights. The “one” I’m referring to is both the movie and this review. Based on other early reviews I’ve read and the primary Twitter reaction, a lot of you are going to disagree with me. This review is not going to endear me to many of my [...]

Damn you Mer-man. Since my full-on toy renaissance in 2010, I’ve immersed myself in many of the old toy lines I grew up playing with. I’ve collected and re-collected some of the lines I loved, the figures I used to have and the ones I wanted but never got. I grew up in the [...]

Thumbnail image for Toy Review – Sideshow Collectibles Sixth Scale Boba Fett

Love at first sight. The Sideshow Collectibles Sixth Scale Boba Fett figure is as breathtaking as you’d imagine. Based on one of the most divisive characters in the Star Wars Universe, no one would argue that Sideshow’s 1/6 scale rendition of the famed bounty hunter isn’t one of their best. Admittedly, I’m a Sideshow [...]

Children of the 80s (especially those who read this site) fondly remember the plethora of toy lines that thrived during our childhood.
