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 – 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 – Marvel Legends – Juggernaut Wave – Deadpool

I'm a little torn on Deadpool here.  He's a pretty great figure.  Not the perfect Deadpool necessarily due to a few minor design issue but he's solid.  He also comes with a ton of accessories and no Build-a-Figure piece for Juggernaut.  Which is why I'm torn.  What Deadpool represents is essentially what I wish we got from Marvel Legends as a line.  Dump the dumb BAF aspects, load up more accessories, alternate heads, weapons, effect parts, alternate hands. Yeah, it's a dumb reason to dislike a figure, it's more that I dislike the concept he is presenting, because it's what…

Review – Transformers – Generations – Brainstorm

If you've been keeping track, you might have noticed that I've gone through all of the original 7 Headmaster's remakes from Titan's Returns.  You might have been expecting the last review here to cover Titan's Return Brainstorm.  Well, you'd be almost correct.  The thing is, I have Generations Brainstorm already, and I don't really need Titan's Return Brainstorm, so instead, you're getting Generations Brainstorm. If you follow some of the recent lines just before Combiner Wars, it kind of felt like Hasbro was exploring and experimenting with ideas for future lines.  We got Scoop with his Trigger masters, and the…
