Like a lot of folks it seems, I pretty much avoided the Transformers Robots in Disguise line early on in it’s release. Most of the toys seemed, and were, pretty mediocre. There also was an extremely one sided assortment of mostly Autobots. In fact, Steeljaw was the only Decepticon until something like wave 4, which is really annoying on a lot of levels. One thing that Transformers always felt like it had going for it above other lines was a pretty good balance of heroes and villains. What good is […]
Funko Legacy – Firefly (Malcolm, Kaylee, Jayne, Zoë, Wash)
Funko is a pretty controversial company among toy collectors, by which I mean collectors more like me and less of the “casual” variety. Their primary line is the Funko Pop Vinyl line, which amount to small uniformed statues. Funko has also had a few “actual” figures recently in their Funko Legacy line, which so far has mostly been Firefly or Game of Thrones related, though they did a set of Bethesda related figures for Fallout and Skyrim as well as The Book of Life and The Rocketeer. These figures are […]
Review – Movie – Warcraft (2016)
I have to say, I was pretty excited to see the Warcraft movie. I don’t currently play World of Warcraft but I got pretty deep into the game in recent years. I played all of the original Warcraft games back in the day as well, especially Warcraft 2. I also enjoy films such as The Lord of the Rings, which kind of felt like the same idea, a large sweeping epic. Ultimately, I ended up really let down by this movie. I’m not sure that it’s really a bad movie, […]
DotEMU is Closing
Just heads up to the gamers out there, if you’ve ever purchased anything from lesser known online game site, DotEMU, the store is closing June 1st. After June 1st, you will no longer be able to download your games. Everythinng is DRM, similar to GOG.com so the downloaded install files will work just fine in the future. I know this isn’t a super popular store front but I was surprised to find I have a dozen or so titles available that I don’t have on other platforms. So it may […]
S.H. Figuarts – Mace Windu
I have a sort of general philosophy I like to follow when writing reviews. I like to give good points and bad points and let the reader sort of make the final conclusion on if something seems good or not. There are really too many subjective factors to give a definite yay or nay on most things. Unfortunately, I don’t really have much to say about Figuarts Mace Window that is negative. I really just don’t, the figure is damn near perfect and it’s definitely the best toy Mace Windu […]
