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.…

Review – Movie – The Wolverine

I'm feeling a little lost on the logic behind the X-Men movies, just a bit.  I mean there's the original X-men trilogy, then there's the new timeline X-men, then there's these Wolverine movies sprinkled in.  The Wolverine definitely takes place after X-men 3, since there's these little flashes of Famke Janssen as Jean Grey and references to X-men 3.  What it doesn't really reference at all is Origins: Wolverine, which is sort of the actual predecessor film.  Actually aside from the few almost unneeded references to X3, The Wolverine feels really isolated from the rest of the X-men universe.  The…

Review – Transformers – Titans Return – Blurr

Like Combiner Wars previously, Titans Return isn't a total homage to only Headmasters.  There aren't a ton of Headmasters to pull from so some character who weren't originally Headmasters get roped into the mix as well.  I'm not super keen on picking up a lot of the non Headmaster Titan Masters, the way I passed on all of the non combining Combiner Wars characters.  Blurr however is a character seriously in need of an updated toy, and this Blurr is a really good representation of the original Blurr, especially compared to the previous Generations Blurr.  The old Blurr is a…

S.H. Figuarts – Ranma (Female)

Getting Sailor Moon Figuarts was a surprise.  But not a huge surprise when you consider there was a new redesigned series put out recently.  Getting Ranma 1/2 Figuarts was the real surprise.  For the most part the anime Figuarts I see tend to be based on newer anime and manga that I've never heard of.  But here we are, with Ranma 1/2 in glorious highly articulated plastic form.  Sadly it kind of seems like we'll never actually get Panda Genma who was featured when these were announced. The first release is the female version of Ranma.  In case you are…

Review – Fez (PC, PS3, XBox 360, PS4, Vita)

2012 - Polytron Corporation - 1 Player * Review is based on the PC Release The Good Neat and well executed 3D rotation Gimmick Interesting and reasonably complex puzzles The Bad Some of the puzzles are a little too complex and not obvious that they are even there. Drives to be a community experience but the community has kind of dried up. Navigating around the world is tricky and can get confusing. Review  Fez is a platform game centered around a 3D rotation gimmick. The core game play is simple platform mechanics. Walk around, jump and climb, with moving platforms…
