REVIEW: Mezco Predator
Mezco bring us their take on the “Jungle Hunter” Predator, i.e the one from the original 1980’s movie. I pre-ordered this a few years ago and it finally arrived on my doorstep last week. I’ve never had a Predator figure in hand before so I really want to put this guy through his paces, let’sContinue reading “REVIEW: Mezco Predator”
TOP 5 Favourite Figs 2022
In 2022 I picked up a wide range of action figures and shot photos of lots of them so I thought I would rank my 5 favourites. Now these are my personal favourites from those that actually bought. I’m sure there are better figures out there that I didn’t get (Haslab Galactus!) but I’m notContinue reading “TOP 5 Favourite Figs 2022”
REVIEW: The Black Series NED-B
The Black Series has failed to get me excited for a few years now, partly because I’ve not been enjoying the newer Star wars media perhaps. I enjoyed the sequel trilogy but not enough of the characters popped enough for me to want to collect them. I’m not a fan of prequel era so theContinue reading “REVIEW: The Black Series NED-B”
Seasons Greetings: Seasonal Star Wars Photos
Merry Christmas to you all! For your present I thought I would wrap up a selection of photos I took for LEGO into one post and talk a little about the process. DISCLAIMER: Most of the Star Wars LEGO in the photos throughout this post were provided to me by LEGO through Brickcentral. And that’sContinue reading “Seasons Greetings: Seasonal Star Wars Photos”
REVIEW: LEGO 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum
I really enjoyed the LEGO Daily Bugle Marvel set that was released last year so I was excited to get another large building from the theme, and this time a slightly more exciting one. The magic fuelled mysterious Sanctum Sanctorum. I bought it a few months after it came out and I’m reviewing it aContinue reading “REVIEW: LEGO 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum”
LEGO In Focus: Featuring… Me!
There’s a fantastic photography book that’s just been published by Chronicle Books called LEGO In Focus. Please note though, I am a little biased because one of the photos in that book is by me. That’s right I took a photo that has been published in an official LEGO book. I thought I should writeContinue reading “LEGO In Focus: Featuring… Me!”
REVIEW: Marvel Legends Lizard
Ive got my hands on yet another Spider-man themed figure and its another that I was excited to see announced earlier this year. Now I have it lets see if my excitement was justified. FROM THE CREATORS: Desperate to be whole again, geneticist Curt Connors injects himself with a regenerative serum derived from reptile DNA,Continue reading “REVIEW: Marvel Legends Lizard”
REVIEW: LEGO 75334 Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Vader
When this set was first revealed I was quite critical of it… and I was not the only one. Its a £45 set that’s primarily a grey slab of terrain. However Brickcentral asked me to shoot this set for LEGO and I felt compelled to write a review because having the set in hand changedContinue reading “REVIEW: LEGO 75334 Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Vader”
