Cobra HISS Driver

TV & Film Toys — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:46:25 +0000

I love the vintage HISS and HISS Driver. However, in the latest contest photo you may have noticed this update to the HISS driver lurking in the background. He comes to us via the 30th Anniversary HISS. (Not the Crimson one.) Appearance: Much like the other 30th Anniversary GI Joe Figures, this Hiss Driver is [...]

DC Universe Classics Wave 19: 5 Guys, A Girl and…. a Baby on the way??

Action Figure Blues — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:35:37 +0000

The Death Knell may have tolled for retail waves of Mattel's DC Universe Classics as we knew it, but I still have two waves to work through and review, starting with the JSA-themed DC Universe Classics Wave 19, which came with a S.T.R.I.P.E. Collect & Connect figure.

This is a wave of quite high highs and very low lows which sums up the legacy of DCUC perfectly. It adds some much needed characters to the 6" DC Universe, but also delivers some lesser lights, and what is my view is one of the most horrid figures in the ...

DC Classics.Com S.T.R.I.P.E. Week Golden Age Atom Review

It'sAlltrue.net — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:54:10 +0000

S.T.R.I.P.E. Week has me taking another trip down memory lane today with a look at the Golden Age Atom! He’s not my favorite Justice Society of America member, but as a JSA Fan that’s been waiting forever for a good Al Pratt figure, I’m happy to report this one doesn’t disappoint.

WWE Legends Series 2: Jake "The Snake" Roberts review

OAFE — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:20:02 +0000

WWEDNESDAY! The body is slim - definitely more slender than Roberts was in his prime. Don't misunderstand us: he wasn't a fat guy back then, but he didn't have a narrow waist, either; the build is right, he just needs to be a little wider. He does have the right muscle tone, though, and that counts for a lot...

K’NEX Mario Kart Wii Review: Yoshi with Standard Go-Kart

JesterGoblin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 05:00:42 +0000

Maybe I’ve seen far too many toys in my life, but it is quickly becoming a rare occurrence when I find a toy that genuinely surprises me. And I don’t mean a company picking up a license I never expected. I’m talking about a toy where I get it and can’t help but think “why hasn’t anyone done this before?”

K’NEX getting the Mario Kart license when combined with their expansion into brick building certainly makes for an interesting case study on doing something better than your competitors. But much like the KRE-O line from Hasbro, K’NEX is just a ...
