Mafex – BatmanVSuperman Superman

I have to admit, I sometimes feel like a bit of a masochist because I'm still sticking with Medicom's Mafex line for my DC collection.  My experience so far has been pretty hit and miss, the hits are good, but the misses tend to be pretty awful.  I feel like if I just stick with it, they will figure things out and start producing really solid figures.  Mafex Batman vs Superman Superman here is definitely par for this course. I want to start with the good things, and why I stick with the line.  I really like the sculpts.  The…

Review – Marvel Legends – Abomination Wave – Scarlet Witch

As much as I like that Hasbro keeps putting out these C and D tier characters in their line ups, sometimes it feels like they go a little overboard and overlook some of the more obvious and popular characters, especially when it comes to their MCU line up.  I am sure the die hard comic fans hate to accept it sometimes, but the movies really feel like they are driving Marvel these days. Thankfully, they didn't wait too long to fill in the Scarlet Witch hole in the current Avengers line up.  Not like they did for, you know, Falcon,…

Review – Transformers – Titans Return – Chromedome

Wave 2 of the Titans Returns line wraps up the redesigned versions of the original 7 Headmasters from G1.  Today's review is for Titans Return Chromedome with Stylor.  There haven't been a whole lot of easy to get options for an updated Chromedome since the original Generation One release.  There was a repaint of Transformers Prime Wheeljack for the Collectors Club, and at least one 3rd Party figure in Fansproject CODE.  He's a fairly popular character in the IDW comics but he is admittedly kind of a bland design with all of his squareishness and brown shades.  It's understandable that…

Figma – A Link Between Worlds Link (DX version)

The Legend of Zelda has kind of a crazy continuity, or more, a crazy lack of continuity.  Despite there being many many Zelda title in the series, more or less all about Link fetching the Triforce to save Hyrule, there are few that are direct sequels or even that take place in the same world.  Link has had many different designs over the years.  Generically, he's kind of an elf looking person in a green tunic.  Sometimes he's an adult, sometimes he's a child, sometimes he's somewhere in between.  This version of Link is based on his appearance in the…

Review – Marvel Legends – Juggernaut Wave – Rogue

I've always really liked Rogue as a character.  She's generally fun, she has an interesting power with interesting positives and negatives, her overall design is nice as well.  It probably helps that in the old cartoon series she was always paired with Gambit, whom I also really like as far as X-men go.  The point is, I am kind of biased towards Rogue, especially this particular design, which in general is one of her more popular designs. Unfortunately, there has only been one other figure of this design in this size, back in the Toybiz line, and it is god…
