I’ve been eying the Avengers Marvel Legends boxed set at Toys R Us for a while but have been pretty reluctant to pull the trigger. Mostly, I just care about the Kate Bishop Hawkeye. The Falcon Cap would be a decent little bonus item, but the third figure int he set is a really ugly Vision, which I have zero care or interest in. I already have 2 Vision figures due to other boxed sets and releases, which is at least one more than I care bout as it is. […]
So, despite the pretty cool little battle, despite the extra long length, despite the little fellowship of heroes, I have to say, I found this entire episode really unsatisfying. I think the main part is just, is a shinning example, of all of the nitpicky problems with the series this season. Problems that are easy to overlook and ignore, except when they are all crammed into one episode. There were two focuses here plot wise, the mission to capture one of the undead soldiers and the drama between Sansa and […]
Ah Kup, a character that seems to be hard to just do right in Toy form while not being kind of boring. His original G1 toy is best described as “Weird Space Pick Up”. He got an alright update a few years ago in the Generations line where he turned into an old timey Earth Pick Up. Kup, despite being fairly popular has a few issues that come up when trying to make updates. First, his alt mode is lame and kind of boring, which isn’t particularly marketable. Second, his […]
So, when I order things from overseas, meaning, from AmiAmi, I like to order several items, to help cut down on the bite of the pricey shipping. So when I had a preorder come up, I threw on a second figure for good measure. I’ve been wanting to get my own Revoltech Woody for a while, for “dumb meme reasons”, specifically, the Woody with the “creepy face”. He’s a pretty fun and funny figure, and he was recently re-released. For my add on figure, we have Figuarts Ash Ketchum, from […]
I just want to say, this show is really starting to show itself as a TV show, now that ti’s well surpassed the books. Yes, there were pulls from the books, however out of order they may have occurred, but now there is definitely a lot of “showey” things going on. For example, a happenstance gathering of hero characters. There is also a LOT of time compression, which wasn’t quite as using in the earlier episodes. I only really bring up the time thing because it was sort of brought […]
Thunderhoof has the distinct pleasure of possibly having the first Tractor alt mode in Transformers. There may have been one previously, probably some sort of Minicon if there was one, but I am pretty sure there hasn’t been a Farm Tractor in Transformers history. Plenty of construction vehicles, not so much farm machines. Thunderhoof’s spirit animal as it may be, is a deer. As such he ends up with some pretty huge majestic antlers on his head in Robot mode. He also, appropriately, has hooved feet. His robot mode is […]
Aside from a handful of non toys, specifically, a copy of Adobe Premier/Photoshop Elements, and some camera filters for use during the upcoming Eclipse, I managed to find one lone figure from the more recently released Marvel Legends. Specifically, The Punisher, from Netflix’s Daredevil series. This is one of those rare waves where I want the BAF and all of the figures, but I particularly wanted Punisher, and Jessica Jones, though there was no sign of her. I like the idea of Daredevil, and will pick him up but he […]
So yeah, definitely one of the best episode of the series, though if I had them all laid out there might be better in there somewhere. I kind of feel like the clear simplifying that’s been going on is really helping things a bit, there’s isn’t anything going on over seas anymore really, there’s not random places we don’t really care about like Dorne or Riverrun. This particular episode essentially just had three main events, and all of them pretty good. Firstly was Arya Stark’s return to Winterfell and her […]
