Here you can find a selection of Toy Reviews by me. All opinions and thoughts expressed in these reviews are my own. They are also all toys I bought myself, unless otherwise stated.
FEATURE: BLOKEES TRANSFORMERS
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…

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…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Review: LEGO Up House
UP from PIXAR is one of the last films from that studio that I truly thought was great (though Toy Story 3 and Inside Out come close) so when my daughters friend brought this set round one weekend to build I was eagerly waiting to get my hands on it…

Review: TMNT Synja Bot
What is a Synja I hear you ask? Well, obviously, the name is a portmanteau of “Synthetic” & “Ninja” so these guys are cyborg troops of clan Hiroto from the Last Ronin comic series. Initially I picked up just one NECA Synja Bot figure but I soon ended up with…
