<\/a> A few weeks ago, Phil Reed over at Battlegrip.Com posted a link to the IAT Review Index and noted how he\u2019d like to have something similar for his own reviews. Well, once my overwhelming need for list-making combined with the chance to help out a friend and fellow blogger, I couldn’t reist…<\/p>\nIf you’re not already familiar with Battlegrip.com<\/a>, then this is me encouraging you to check it out. I already knew Phil ran a great site before I went combing through his archives gathering his past reviews, but the reviews I found just further reinforced how cool & different Battlegrip really is. <\/p>\n In addition to covering plenty of recent toys (including Phil’s newest endeavor, TransformingCollections.com<\/a>, Battlegrip’s archives also span five decades covering toys from yesteryear. There are reviews of popular lines line TMNT to a wide variety of lesser known vinyl & designer toys. And if you still think that’s too limited, Phil has snuck in a board game, collectible cards, stickers, and has reviewed no less than six items featuring Franken Berry. Currently, the Review Index is updated from the site’s grand opening in 2008 through the end of August 2012. My plan is to update it near the end of each month, so keep an eye out for a September update here soon. Until then, check out the Review Index and follow it over to Battlegrip when you find something cool. <\/p>\n And if you don’t get any work done today, it’s not my fault… it’s Phil’s! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A few weeks ago, Phil Reed over at Battlegrip.Com posted a link to the IAT Review Index and noted how he\u2019d like to have something similar for his own reviews.
