When I was a kid, I loved dinosaurs. I think that’s pretty normal. Dinosaurs were giant, ferocious, mysterious beasts. With thunderous roars, they stalked and stomped their ancient land, battling each other with armored and spiked hides. And I imagined myself right there along ide them. Maybe riding them, fighting Rulons, with a giant missile launcher or two. Well, that was when I was a kid, and things were much simpler. Now, of course, as an adult it might sound silly to think of humans riding dinosaurs decked out in tech and fighting against aliens and mutants, but I don’t care. Nothing I’ve learned can take away from the awesomeness that was Dino Riders. (More…) By NoisyDvL5, on March 12th, 2010 | 16 comments

You know the drill. You get up and you think you could get lucky today. You get ready and put on some nice clothes so you can at least feel presentable if you happen to get checked out. You hop in the car and travel to whichever place you’ve deemed best to satisfy your desires. You arrive with giddy anticipation. It’s now or never, you tell yourself as you round that last corner. What waits? Will it be great joy or intense dissatisfaction? Anything can happen on a Toy Run… (More…) By NoisyDvL5, on March 10th, 2010 | 15 comments By NoisyDvL5, on March 9th, 2010 | 18 comments

I get tired of picking on Mattel so much. There are a lot of toy companies out there, and I’m sure they are doing a lot of things wrong. But, I don’t hear about the mistakes they are making every week. Their spokesperson doesn’t personally post on a message board designed by the company. This is why I talk so much about Mattel. I have a weekly deadline to meet, and Toy Guru makes my job easier. So, today I’m pretty much talking to Toy Guru directly here, but the rest of you get the benefit of getting to read it too. (More…) By NoisyDvL5, on March 8th, 2010 | 27 commentsI like to do these DCUC reviews in groups of two because it lets me get them on the schedule a little quicker. Usually, I try to group the figures in sensible duos just because it makes them easier to write about, Darkseid and Desaad, for example. But it’s not always easy to do that. For this review, I’m left with pairing Iron up with Mary Marvel. There’s no obvious connection here, save one. This review contains the best and worst figures from DCUC12.  You probably knew instantly know which one was which, so I won’t tease you. I was happy to hear Iron listed on the early lists, I was excited to see the first images, and I’m blown away by the figure in person. Mary Marvel is a different story. I definitely wanted her in my collection, and I don’t think she’s a terrible figure, but the figures has a couple issues. (More…) By AdventureVault, on March 4th, 2010 | 5 comments
Trap Jaw and Battle Cat weren’t the only things to sell out on Mattel’s last D-Day. Even though it took a couple more hours than the other two, the MOTU “Castle Grayskull Diorama & Stands” also sold out. I imagine most people were thinking the same thing I was, “Battle Cat is a little expensive, so I might wait until next time to get those stands.” Well, at the last minute I caved and added a set to my cart, and I guess I’m glad I did so. Because if you decided to wait, you are probably a little annoyed at the recent comment by Toy Guru.
I’m not really sure what those quotation marks around the word possibly mean. But even ignoring that, this is probably the dumbest statement anyone from Mattel has given at least in the last month. So here’s our review of these MOTU stands. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do one at first, they are just stands after all. But after that statement, I felt like I should be showing people what they are getting screwed out of because of Mattel’s short sightedness.  I can tell you right now, I’m not the biggest fan of action figure stands. I’m of the crowd that thinks my toys should be able to stand on their own. But, even so, I’m willing to admit when a stand goes above and beyond. I should have known these would be good, they are from the 4 Horsemen after all. In fact, the best thing about these stands is that they don’t even have to be stands. (More…) |

I’ve got the lead on this column again this week, so I decided to go big. One mere figure isn’t enough to satiate my toy needs today. No, instead I want the return of an entire line.
We’ve been receiving some requests to add an Iron Man 2 Checklist to the site. Initially, we were hesitant because we’re trying very hard to not get caught up in the line. We’re still trying to admire them from afar, but we hit up the stores today and compiled all the information needed for a proper visual checklist. You can check it out
