Review – Marvel Legends – Juggernaut Wave – Wolverine

Wolverine is arguably the most popular Marvel comics character.  Spider-man is pretty up there and Deadpool seems to be doing pretty well, but Wolverine is, or at least was at one point, pretty up there.  It’s a shame he doesn’t' get more Marvel Legends figures really.  I mean I know I complain about all of the dozens of Captain Americas, but Wolverine is way more popular then Cap.  Maybe we just already hit Wolverine Saturation years ago and don't need more Wolverines?  Who knows. While wolverine has had a few looks over the years, and some slight redesigns, mostly in…

Review – Transformers – Titans Return – Scourge

Scourge, along with Blurr, is part of the first wave of Titans Returns figures that were not originally Headmasters.  Scourge is a bit of a funny character in terms of picking up "new versions", because his character's ability allows him to make clones of himself.  Or maybe it's just that he commands clones of himself, whatever the case, there is a justifiable reason to have many Scourge toys. Unlike Blurr, who is kind of the star of the wave, Scourge is possibly the worst figure of the first wave.  The problems are less with the basic design however.  This Scourge,…

S.H. Figuarts – Yoshi

While he wasn't part of the original Super Mario Brothers, in fact, he didn't come around until much later in the series during the 4th full game, Super Mario World, Yoshi is as iconic to the Mario series as any of the main cast.   The popular Dino has even gotten several of his own spin off games.  He certainly makes sense as an addition to the Mario Figuarts lineup. Yoshi is quite a different little figure than Mario and Luigi, for the obvious reasons that, he's a Dinosaur and not a plumber.  He's actually a quite a bit more dynamic…

Review – American Truck Simulator (PC)

The Good Strong Developer Support Sprawling environment to explore Straightforward Gameplay The Bad Free drive could be more flexible No official online multiplayer Repetitive gameplay There are a lot of Simulation games out there covering a crazy array of subjects from Farming to Forklift driving.  To some extent, some laws regarding video game content in some European countries can be blamed for this trend.  It's also nice to be able to do even simple things that you can't normally do.  A lot of these simulation titles are flat out garbage, with mediocre graphics and very little realism in terms of…

Review – Marvel Legends – Wal-Mart Falcon (6″)

Poor Falcon, Major player in 2 Captain America Movies with a guest bit in Ant-Man.  He's even probably getting groomed  up to be the replacement Captain America, if Bucky doesn't get there first.  Like Scarlet Witch, he's gone for too long without getting a 6" figure.  I imagine a lot of this reason is his huge wings.  This sort of accessory really doesn't work too well with the current model of figure + BAF part.  That's probably part of why his release was a Wal-Mart exclusive along with a better repaint of The Winter Solider, in their own little wave.…
