M.A.S.K. Blind Bag Variants Available Now

The newest addition to the Energon Universe, M.AS.K., was released today, and in celebration Skybound, alongside the regular releases and variants, they are releasing blind bag variants. There are three different comics you could possibly get in the bags, only one of which is actually M.A.S.K.#1. Normally, I wouldn’t buy a blind bag but I…

The Decepticons are Stuntin On Them! G2 Menasor Preorder Now Live

I almost completely missed the G2 era of Transformers. The only portion I remember is the rerelease of the original series with the animatronic Optimus and the little kid. I never saw any of the toys on the shelves, but I also was more into TMNT around that time. If I had looked, I would…

Here are the images of the…

Squadron Supreme! Hasbro Reveals Hyperion/Doctor Spectrum Two-pack

Time to start a new team! Today Hasbro has revealed their new two-pack with Hyperion and Doctor Spectrum. Hyperion previously had a figure released years back in the Hulkbuster wave(?) I think. The figure was pretty bulky and has a cape that is a bit too long. This new mold is a bit more streamlined…

Marvel Legends Apocalypse Wave Psylocke Images & Impressions

I have been waiting so long for this figure! Psylocke has had a long and convoluted history, but she did not gain true popularity until after she went through the Siege Perilous and went from being a telepath in armor to a psychic ninja. Similarly, she went through some bad figures before we got to…

Hasbro SDCC Marvel Legends Series Defenders Rail Authority 5-Pack

A week or so back, a leaked photo surfaced showing a set of Netflix Legends figures. Everyone surmised quickly that this was this years SDCC Marvel Legends offering. Well everyone was right because Hasbro has officially revealed the full box set. The set includes three currently available or soon to be available figures including Daredevil…

Transformers Power Of The Primes Terrorcon Blot Images & Impressions

As big a fan as I am of Transformers, I don’t know much about the Terrorcons. Obviously they are a group under the Decepticon faction who combine into a larger bot, but I don’t remember them from the original show. Perhaps they came along in that last season that I didn’t watch much of. That…

Mezco King Kong 7″ Figure Now Up For Preorder

King Kong ruled Skull Island. Now, he’s looking to rule a piece of your shelf. A small piece. When you think about King Kong, you usually envision a giant ape. Mezco is offering a 7″ version of the king of Skull Island that seems a little small when compared to other figures, but if you…

I Need This SDCC Aquaman Set From Mattel

With Hasbro’s Marvel Legends offering for SDCC this year being so lackluster, it frees up money to be spent elsewhere. Luckily action figure fans have something to look forward to. First shown on the Hollywood Reporter, Mattel is releasing an Aquaman centric set featuring the hero and two of his greatest enemies, Black Manta and…

New Star Wars The Clone Wars Pops Coming This August

Vinyl Figure #271 Star Wars: The Clone Wars Ahsoka Pop! Vinyl Figure #268 Star Wars: Clone Wars Obi Wan Kenobi Pop!…

Masters Of The Universe Vintage 5.5″ Figure Preorders

Earlier this year, Super7 offered a pre-sale(not a preorder) on vintage style Masters of the Universe figures. They were offered as two-packs with He-Man & Skeletor and She-Ra & Hordak. These sold out quickly. The comments section was understandably full of angry collectors who felt they did not get an opportunity to own the sets….

Marvel Legends Avengers Infinity War Vision & Scarlet Witch Two-pack Images & Impressions

When I initially saw this set on shelves, I passed on it. While I am a big fan of the Marvel Legends line, I don’t much care for their MCU figures. Usually when I see the previews for a set including them I am already resolved to completing a BAF through eBay. Luckily, with the…
