3/10/2010Review - BioShock 2 - Subject Delta

A glance is all it took to convince me that I need to own every BioShock toy that NECA puts out, despite the fact that I'm still working my way through the original game, and haven't even considered the sequel that this particular toy is based on. Is the totally unfamiliar (to me, anyway) Subject Delta a big disappointment, or was that convincing glance rewarded with a fantastic figure? Would you kindly keep reading, and find your answer to that very question.

3/10/2010One Shots #18

I've got enough editions of One Shots backed up to do two a week for at least a couple months! But that doesn't mean I wasn't excited to receive this guest edition from AD regular Wes GRogan, who has created this side-splitting comic featuring two of Eternia's star-crossed lovers.

3/9/2010Bootleg Tuesday - March 9th

Although I missed out on Battle Cat during last month's MattyCollector apocalypse, TAO's review of the beast last week got me feeling the big kitty love. I rummaged through my boxes of toys and successfully located my childhood BC, and he received some love and attention for the first time in over a decade despite his smaller size and inability to "properly" seat Battle Armor He-Man. But then I remembered another cat who would love to share the spotlight -- and after heading to the back of a lower shelf of the cabinet where I keep my earliest transforming robot acquisitions, I had the star of this week's feature! Join us as we look at yet another offering from the Agglo company's Space Warriors: Transformable Beast-Tech Fighter line in...

3/5/2010Guest Review - Iron Man 2: Movie Series - Iron Man (Mark I)

[TAO's Note: I keep spotting the new Iron Man 2 figures at my local stores, and it's awfully hard to ignore them. They look great for their scale, and I may eventually cave in and start assembling myself a little hall or armors. Ewan seems to have already started a nice collection himself, and he's here to take a look at one of the first releases in the line, so keep reading to see how he likes it.]

3/4/2010Review - Masters of the Universe Classics - Trap Jaw

Trap Jaw was never meant to know true love. First dates never ended with a good night kiss, second base was always a hook hand away, and real physical passion was a distant grease can and hardware upgrade from reality. Trap Jaw knows love through the soft caress of a collector, and the shelter of a wooden shelf. Will you give him this love he so greatly deserves?

3/3/2010Review - Masters of the Universe Classics - Man-at-Arms

I missed out on Man-at-Arms the first time around. I had entered my Masters of the Universe Classics hibernation and didn't even care that I missed him, but ever since I've bought back into the line, he's been the one key piece of my collection I felt was sorely missing. That has been fixed, but now I have to ask if he was really a "key piece" after all.

3/3/2010One Shots #16

[TAO's Note: All you need to know is that googum sent me this comic labeled as "hatsquad". Anything named Hat Squad is something that has to be seen. I dare you to disagree.]
