Blokees appear to be the talk of toy town at the moment, they have been popping up everywhere and they seem to be gaining more and more licenses (Marvel, DC, Star Wars) but it was their smaller Transformers kits that got my attention. I picked up the odd blind box and enjoyed what I foundContinue reading “FEATURE: BLOKEES TRANSFORMERS”

REVIEW: JOYTOY TMNT
I love being a turtle (collector)! That’s probably why I broke my usual rule of sticking to 1:12 scale figures and dove shell-first into these 1:18 scale offerings from JoyToy. This review’s a bit different from my usual format — rather than spotlighting one or two figures, I’m showcasing a broader selection from the JoyToyContinue reading “REVIEW: JOYTOY TMNT”
REVIEW: DELUXE SAGAT & BLANKA (JADA TOYS)
I’ve been meaning to write something — and snap a few photos — of Jada’s Street Fighter figures ever since I picked up Ryu from Wave 1 almost exactly two years ago. The arrival of the first two “Deluxe” contenders in the line finally gave me the perfect excuse to hit continue. Product Description JadaContinue reading “REVIEW: DELUXE SAGAT & BLANKA (JADA TOYS)”
REVIEW: TONY THE TIGER (JADA TOYS)
Nostalgia plays a big part in a lot of the toys I buy, I know this. But nothing made it as clear to me as the sharp desire I had to buy an action figure of a cereal mascot that appeared on so many TV ads when I was younger. That’s right Tony the TigerContinue reading “REVIEW: TONY THE TIGER (JADA TOYS)”
REVIEW: Gunpla RX-78-2 Gundam
Up to now, all my toy collecting and photography has focused on LEGO and action figures, but I’m looking at something slightly different here. This is a Bandai model kit which ultimately becomes an action figure; however, it offers a unique value proposition worth discussing. Let’s get into it. Product DescriptionThe Gunpla Entry Grade RX-78-2Continue reading “REVIEW: Gunpla RX-78-2 Gundam”
REVIEW: Kai Lab Resurgence (Soft Goods Kit for ML)
Mythic Legions are probably my favorite toy line of all those I have tried. There’s nothing more I really want from them… however, when I saw this kit available to use with a Mythic 2.0 skeleton my opinion changed slightly. Yes, my skeletons need clothes! I ordered one to check out, yes, its been outContinue reading “REVIEW: Kai Lab Resurgence (Soft Goods Kit for ML)”
REVIEW: Super7 Shadow Demons
It had been a little while since I last opened up a figure from Super7’s Ultimates range. I have all the TMNT characters I want from them and the last few figures in this line I bought had some fantastic traits but ultimately (pun not intended) I found them to be overpriced. The appeal ofContinue reading “REVIEW: Super7 Shadow Demons”
REVIEW: Skeleton Legion Builder 2
When I first got into Mythic Legions figures I was most interested in figures that aligned to mass-able bad guys for Dungeons and Dragons style set ups. So that was Goblins, Orcs and of course Skeletons. The fact that they had never done a full skeleton (most had armoured chests and legs) was a (firstContinue reading “REVIEW: Skeleton Legion Builder 2”
REVIEW: TMNT X Transformers Party Wallop
Two of my favourite childhood TV shows have been mashed together for an interesting toy project (cash in?). That’s right, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meets Transformers in this Hasbro toy. Party Wallop is one of the crossover figures being released celebrating 40 years of Transformers. From the Manufacturer: TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES X TRANSFORMERS COLLABORATIVE:Continue reading “REVIEW: TMNT X Transformers Party Wallop”
Review: YOLOPARK Optimus Prime and Megatron
I used to think that a Transformers toy that didn’t transform was sort of pointless, like a toy car with wheels that don’t turn. However after years of dabbling with “proper” transformers from the likes of Hasbro and Magic Square, I realised something. I always display them in robot mode and I never transform them.Continue reading “Review: YOLOPARK Optimus Prime and Megatron”
