Review – Movie – Xmen Origins: Wolverine

You know what's quickly starting to become a ridiculously overplayed part of the X-Men Cinematic Universe?  The origin story of Wolverine.  I mean, ok, I get that he is a big part of the X-Men universe, and he's been in every X-men movie so far except for Deadpool.  His origin was sort of touched on in X-men 1, X-men 2 went into much more detail as they return to Alkali Lake, Wolverine Origins gives us the details and events actually surrounding one origin of the event, Days of Future's Past touches on it a bit with Stryker, we see it…

Review – Transformers – Titans Return – Highbrow

Like most of the original Headmasters, Highbrow hasn't gotten a proper update in a while.  There was a pretty neat Highbrow back in the Hunt for the Decepticons sub-line of Revenge of the Fallen, though his alt mode for that line was a Lockheed P38-Bomber style plane, and he was mostly green instead of his original blue and white.  It's a neat toy mostly for using a cool alt mode, but it's not very Highbrow and it wasn't a headmaster. Like most of Titans Return, Highbrow is a much more faithful remake of his G1 iteration.  He has the same…

S.H. Figuarts – Luigi

Today's review is on SH Figuarts Luigi.  I've previously done a review of SH Figuarts Mario as well that you may be interested in if you're looking into Luigi.  A lot of what was said about Mario definitely applies here.  The build quality is solid, the paint apps are great, the sculpt is great, the articulation works for what he is, but it's a little limited. Where Luigi differs the most is in his accessory count.  Luigi includes alternate open hands and a stand, both things that Mario lacked in his basic form.    Additionally Luigi includes a basic Block Brick…

Review – Overwatch (PC, PS4, X-Box One)

The Good Fun Team based Gameplay Loot system that never feels like you need to buy anything (though you can) Large variety in game modes The Bad No way to trade duplicate item drops with other people Game can feel a little repetitive after a while, several maps feel like facelift copies of each other Social aspects could use some work In Depth It's really hard not to compare Overwatch to Team Fortress 2.  They have vaguely similar art styles, the game play is the same sort of class based team shooter game, and the whole attitude in design is…

Review – Marvel Legends – Juggernaut Wave – Havok

Someone working on this wave seems to have a hard on for Cyclops' family, we've got his wife, Jean Grey (Phoenix), his son from the future, Cable, and his brother, Havok.  There isn't a Cyclops, but we got one in the first wave of X-men with Jubilee and there is one in the next wave coming in 2017.  He's Cyclops' younger brother in the comics but older brother in the movies, though this is a decidedly comic book design. He definitely doesn't have the most amazing design for a super hero.  There's nothing complicated going on here, he's a dude…
