ItsAllTrue Review: Iron
Man 2 – Fusion Armor (#15)

I've been trying to stick to comics series Iron Man 2 toys; trying not to delve too deep into movie or concept figures, but sticking to that is like being in a candy factory. Yesterday, the toy hunt bore fruit in the form of Fusion Armor Iron Man and Whiplash. I easily passed on Ivan Vanko - I'm in this line for cool armors - but the blueness of Fusion Armor called to me.

TRU Exclusive Hal Jordan

A metallic, Modern Hal had already been spotted on eBay and in the Attack of the Show SDCC preview, so it wasn't hard to put two and two together. MetallaHal was on his way.

Most Requested Figures: Blackstar


I had a lot of MOTU figures when I was young and, appropriately, I love MOTU Classics. I wish more of the old toy lines would get their time in the sun like MOTUC. That’s one of the reasons we do this article. We want to see our childhood favorites get their due in plastic form and receive an update that lets them be the toys they never quite could be when we were kids.

MOTUClassics.Com: Tytus Review

Tytus is an excitement roller coaster. First, you hear they've shown him at Toy Fair and the ride starts ratcheting up. You find the pics as you near the first peak, but with little warning, the articulation is announced and you drop ten stories. You drift through some various minor twists and turns, slowly building you back up to order him. Despite some reservations about the next drop, you get excited and you order your way up the next ramp. He arrives. He looks great in the box, then you open him and...

Vault Review: Lego Minifigures
– Series 1 (+ Codebreaker)

I was never content with the complacent yellow faces Lego men had when I was a kid. I still remember the first time I saw the Pirates theme in the 90s. These Lego men, although still smiling, now had beards, stubble, and sideburns – not to mention an occasional hook or peg leg. It was a paradigm shift that renewed my interest in Legos. Minifigures have come a long way since their very humble beginnings in the 70s. This year, they’re finally available as singles and Lego has rehooked me yet again.
