If I’ve learned anything from moving into my first home, it’s that I’ll be unpacking for the rest of my life. Seriously. Every time I think of an old figure I need for a review, it’s inevitably adrift somewhere in the cardboard sea in my garage. For Dice’s review, that sorta became the theme.
It seems like it’s been forever since I’ve bought a DC figure at retail. After Classics was canceled, I pretty much just glaze over that aisle on my way to the Marvel section. So I was a bit shocked to see a new Superman staring back at me during my last trip to TRU.
When I get into conversations with fellow collectors and regular readers, they’re often surprised to find about some of the “other” lines I collect. See, the truth is, I’ve been holding out on you guys. Some toys I collect never seem to find their way onto the site. Masterpiece Transformers is one of those lines.
January saw most of the reviews being posted in the second half, but some higher than expected traffic pushed those later reviews, like Rorschach, Netossa, & the Metal Men, into the top spots for the month. Also check out the latest updates to both the IAT & Battlegrip.com Review Indexes!
In this week’s Review Round-Up, Marvel & DC return with a vengeance while MOTU only clocks in with four reviews. I’m sure He-Man & the gang will be back though. Until then, check out this week’s round-up with reviews on the TMNT Pop-Up Pizza Playset, the New 52 Hawkman, and many more!
In my efforts to get caught up on my backlog of reviews, I thought it might be a good idea to throw December’s Club Infinite Earths offerings into one big review. It seemed only naturally since Mattel chose that month to (nearly) complete the Metal Men with Lead, Platinum and sorta-Tin.
It’s been a while since I’ve done a semi-obscure import review, and with Wonder Fest coming up soon I thought I’d take a look at a couple of figures I picked up last month. Rounding up my Revoltech Takeya collection are two characters that depart from the look of previous releases.
