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 done in a style very similar to what NECA does…

Review – Marvel Legends – Juggernaut Wave – Wolverine

Wolverine is arguably the most popular Marvel comics character.  Spider-man is pretty up there and Deadpool seems to be doing pretty well, but Wolverine is, or at least was at one point, pretty up there.  It’s a shame he doesn’t' get more Marvel Legends figures really.  I mean I know I complain about all of the dozens of Captain Americas, but Wolverine is way more popular then Cap.  Maybe we just already hit Wolverine Saturation years ago and don't need more Wolverines?  Who knows. While wolverine has had a few looks over the years, and some slight redesigns, mostly in…

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.…

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 – 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…
