Gargamel and Azrael POP! (2017)

I do pick up a few Pop figures that jump the realm of Hulk – or Marvel in general – and when I saw Gargamel sitting on the shelf I knew I had to have him!  As a kid I watched Smurfs every Saturday morning with Gargamel conniving to eat the little blue blobby creatures. Continue reading “Gargamel and Azrael POP! (2017)”

Mm! Smash!: A Year’s Worth of Hulk Gluttony! Week 22

Imagine you’re looking forward to some delicious soup and then this lug comes along and eats/drinks it all!  How would you classify the proper eating term for soup?  Do you eat it?  What about soups with no chunks or anything?  Just a base?  You’re not chewing it!  Could you still call it eating soup orContinue reading “Mm! Smash!: A Year’s Worth of Hulk Gluttony! Week 22”

Rocket Raccoon Mighty Muggs (2018)

My friend told me that once, a while back when Mighty Muggs was first released, he imagined these figures to be the next huge thing – and they certainly could have been – but through a set of unfortunate circumstances this line was cut short.  Then, of course, they released the new version of MightyContinue reading “Rocket Raccoon Mighty Muggs (2018)”

Pulls From the Short Box 5.23.18

What is the point of comics if you don’t read them? Don’t be one of those CGC slabbing comic book “collectors”! Make sure to read them over and over again! Here is a list of what I’ve been reading from my collection: Spider-Man 2099 (1992) W: David / A: Leonardi Issue I’m Reading – #5-8Continue reading “Pulls From the Short Box 5.23.18”

Mini-Mates Speed Energy Hulk (2018)

Who can deny the real appeal of Mini-Mates?  Not me!  They have released a couple Hulks in this new year even though they keep releasing Hulks the new ones are still exciting to see!  I especially thought this set was pretty nifty with the “Speed” theme.  The Hulk in particular is kind of awesome!  IsContinue reading “Mini-Mates Speed Energy Hulk (2018)”

Avengers Hulk Wall Crawler 2.0 (2018)

The wall crawlers are one of the best possible toys out there – they are loads of fun… for at least the three minutes until the little sticky knobs at the end of the creepy spider legs become covered in dust and dirt.  The original was made of a light, almost Styrofoam body.  The new one is actuallyContinue reading “Avengers Hulk Wall Crawler 2.0 (2018)”

Weapon X Dorbz (2017)

It’s funny how last year seemed to be the year of Wolverine as far as toys and collectibles go but he was MIA in the comics.  There was a rumor floating around – one that was somewhat substantiated later – that the Head of Marvel made the characters that weren’t under the MCU umbrella disappear from theContinue reading “Weapon X Dorbz (2017)”

What Size Suits You? (That’s What She Said?)

I  always thought bigger was better – and most of the time it still stands – but I do have to say that the 3 3/4″ figures are nothing to slouch at.  The only thing that the 3 3/4″ scale has going against it is the price point.  Truly, even with as much articulation andContinue reading “What Size Suits You?
