Mafex – Evangelion Unit 01

It's a very Evangelion time right now apparently. The original show is on Netflix, which I highly recommend checking out. I also got my pre order for Unit01 in. I have never been a huge Anime person but I am a fan of quite a few older shows, Evangelion being one of them. I watched and rewatched the original series a lot, on VHS, because that was the thing at the time. I've still got several model kits and various figures from back then as well. Given my history of Eva and how much I am starting to like Mafex…

Marvel Legends – Smart Hulk Wave – Loki (Comic)

I'm not super keen on Loki's comic book look. He's a little too, court jester in style for my liking. Still, he's kind of a big part of the whole Thor and Asgardian world, being Thor's brother and all, so not having a Loki to go with my other Asgardians was kind of a hole in need of filling. Plus, frankly, I kind of wanted everyone else in the wave. I'm sure someone who keeps better track than I do would know which "buck" this is, but it's pretty much just "Bulky dude in spandex". The figure is honestly pretty…

NECA – Heroes of the Storm Thrall

If there is one central figure in all of World of Warcraft Lore to pretty much everything going on, it's the Orc known as Thrall. Some people suggest his is a Mary Sue stand in for Chris Metzen who was basically in charge of WoW for a very long time. Even when Thrall tries to take a step out of the story, it always brings him back to fix everything. He also has the Nickname "Green Jesus". Thrall has had a few different roles and looks over the years. This particular design, like The Lich King, is not from World…

Marvel Legends – Smart Hulk Wave – Beta Ray Bill

As a fairly popular secondary character of the Marvel universe, it's kind of surprising that Beta Ray Bill doesn't have more figures. He has a neat design that lends itself pretty well to being a "cool toy" and his outfit could easily be made from reusing most Thor figures. If you are unfamiliar with the character, you may notice that he looks a lot like Thor. His origin and history is very much related to Thor and the hammer Mjolnir. He was one of, if not the first character, besides Thor, to be worthy enough to wield the hammer in…

Nendoroid D.Va (Hana Song)

One thing I really like about the Nendoroid line is that they are hitting essentially all of my "Mains" in Overwatch. Tracer, Sombra, Mei, Lucio is coming, and D.Va. These are my top five, in some sort of order. I suppose that probably just says I prefer the mainstream heroes over some of the less popular heroes. Not surprisingly, Nendoroid D.Va is just Hana Song, aka "Baby D.Va". In game she rides inside her giant MEKA robot, collectively they are known as "D.Va". After taking some damage, Baby D.Va pops out and the robot is destroyed. It's a fun mechanic…
