8/26/2010Review - Transformers Masterpiece - Grimlock

This is the first Grimlock figure that I have ever owned, and will probably be the last because I think I just picked up the definitive Grimlock. This figure was released in Japan last year as the MP-08 Masterpiece Grimlock, and we knew early on that Toys R Us was going to get this figure as an exclusive. In the past, whenever one of Takara Tomy MP Transformers figures made its way to the American market they would be a little different, and usually not as cool as the Japanese version. In this instance, Grimlock is every bit as cool as the Japanese version, and maybe a little better.

[TAO's Note: I'm on a bit of a Transformers kick after picking up War for Cybertron this week, so I'm glad to see this Transformers themed comic from Clark. Enjoy!]

5/28/2010Review - Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Class - Bludgeon

I was not really planning on buying Bludgeon as I don’t have any attachment to the character and none of the production photos looked that great to me. Then I kept reading online how he was one of the best Transformers to come out in a long time, so when I found him at Target several months ago I decided to get him. I’ve now had him for a good amount of time and have been able to let my impressions and overall feelings about the toy digest.

5/19/2010Review - Indie Spotlight Series 1 - Scud & Sol

[TAO's Note: Clark's already back for another review, and this time he's taking a look from two toys in Shocker Toys' burgeoning Indie Spotlight line. Are these figures a sign of great things to come, or have they already overdrawn their welcome in the spotlight. Keep reading to find out!]

5/16/2010One Shots #41

[TAO's Note: In this comic, Clark takes the Masters of the Universe franchise to a place it has never been before, at least not officially.]

5/12/2010Review - The Dark Knight Movie Masters - Two-Face

[TAO's Note: Mattel has finally begun releasing the leftover Dark Knight Movie Masters figures that were shown and promised so long ago. Clark is here to take a look at one of those figures, but he sure seems split right down the middle on how he feels about it!]

5/10/2010Review - DC Universe Classics Two Packs - Aquaman & Black Manta

I live in a metropolitan area that seems to get all of the hard-to-find figures eventually (I even found the impossible Cyborg Superman from the DCSH line). The only DCUC figures I’ve never seen are Black Adam and Guardian from Wave 9. Aquaman was the hardest figure to find from DCUC wave 2. I only saw the short-haired version of Aquaman once (but did not buy him because he had horrible paint splotches on his face), and the long-haired variant twice (but did not buy him because I thought he looked ridiculous).

Anyway, I regret not buying the original Aquaman when I found him, paint problems and all, because he now goes for quite a bit of money on eBay, money that I’m not willing to spend. Now Mattel has re-releasing this figure in a two-pack with his arch-nemesis, to give us a second chance to get him. But, wait a minute, his colors aren’t right...

5/8/2010Review - Iron Man 2: Movie Series 6 Inch Wal-Mart Exclusive - Iron Man (Mark VI)

[TAO's Note: Clark's back to take a look at the second half of the current Wal-Mart exclusive Iron Man 2 figures. Keep reading to see if this figure turned out as good as his beloved War Machine counterpart!]

5/4/2010Review - Iron Man 2: Movie Series 6 Inch Wal-Mart Exclusive - War Machine

[TAO's Note: We've had lots of Iron Man 2 reviews focused on the 4 inch figures, and now we're taking things to another level. This War Machine figure is available as a Wal-Mart Exclusive and should fit right in to all those unfinished Marvel Legends collections out there given his scale. But is he good? Keep reading to find out!]

2/24/2010Review - Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Class - Lockdown

[TAO's Note: I'm always excited to post a Transformers review, especially ones like this, which feature a cool toy that's a cross-line tribute. Clark is here to tell you how Lockdown (of the Revenge of the Fallen variety, not the Animated variety) turned out!]

2/18/2010Review - Ninja Gaiden II - Ryu Hayabusa

[TAO's Note: It's time for some ninja love, and Clark is here to deliver it. He's taking a look at Ryu Hayabusa, from the famed Ninja Gaiden video game series, which is known as one of the toughest ever. Unfortunately, the toy might not be so tough. Keep reading to see what that means!]

2/16/2010Review - Spider-Man 3.75 Inch - Spider-Man (Night Mission)

[TAO's Note: Clark has already reviewed one black costumed Spider-Man, but he's back to take a look at this alternative version from Hasbro, coming out of the Spider-Man line instead of the similarly scaled Marvel Universe. Did this one turn out any better than its predecessor? Keep reading to find out!]

1/28/2010Review - Transformers Hybrid Style - Optimus Prime (THS-02 Convoy)

[TAO's Note: Clark's back for another look at a Transformers figure, and this time it's a tiny one. Who knew toys could even be made this small and still be so cool?]

1/21/2010Review - Revoltech - Evangelion Unit 02

We usually let Updatedude handle any Japanese toys here at Articulated Discussion, but this particular figure is one that I am very fond of. This figure is the reason that I purchased and watched the entire Neon Genesis series, which I thought was okay, the ending really depressed the crap out of me. I was introduced to Revoltech in 2006 while searching random toys online. I was instantly intrigued, and when I found this guy at a local comicbook shop I had to pick him up.

1/14/2010Review - Transformers Universe - Silverbolt

[TAO's Note: Don't you wish sometimes that you could just transform and make all your phyiscal faults disappear? Take your big gut or unibrow or 13th toe (I'm not an attractive guy) and zap, they're all gone! Transformers are blessed with that very ability, but some just don't take advantage of it. As Clark is about to tell you, Silverbolt lets all his faults hang out!]
