Last Ronin (Armored)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Neca) - Last Ronin
Rated 4.95 stars by RMaster007
I just want to start this review off by saying if you haven't read The Last Ronin, do yourself a favor and check it out now. It's a five-part mini-series about the last Ninja Turtle seeking to avenge his fallen family in a Foot Clan-controlled New York, and a dark, intriguing, and overall amazing story. Merchandise for it has been slowly trickling in, such as a figure revealed by Playmates earlier this year. That very same day, NECA revealed that they're doing figures from it as well, starting with one of two different versions of the Ronin himself. The packaging is standard NECA: an easy to open window box with an opening "fifth panel." The illustrations on the front and sides are pretty nice, and they made sure to credit the artists. As for the plastic tray on the inside, there are...[See More]

Iron Man (Model 70)
Marvel Legends - Infinite Series (Hasbro) - Controller Series
Rated 5.00 stars by ScarecrowGOF
This is a great Iron man action figure. This is my first marvel legends figure I have bought and it's very good. The articulation is good, as well.is the sculpting and paint. The accessories are great and work well with the figure. This is a great Iron Man to get if you have many iron man figures or if you have non and are looking for a starting place. I definitely recommend...[See More]

Geralt of Rivia (Wolf Armor)
Witcher (McFarlane) - Basic Series
Rated 5.00 stars by moviemaniacx
As with most of McFarlane’s modern lines, we get variants. This is the 3rd or 4th version of Geralt and in my opinion the best because of all the cool accessories he comes with. He’s got his steel and silver swords, a magic fire spell effect for his left hand and of course a wicked cool decapitated griffin head trophy. The reddish color of the armor is neat and the scarred face sculpt is well done. Goes great with the Kikimora!...[See More]

Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th Part 7)
Friday the 13th (Neca) - Ultimate Collection
Rated 5.00 stars by moviemaniacx
Arguably the best Jason of the line! The sculpt is impressive with all the exposed flesh and torn cloth - the detail is great. He comes armed/equipped to the teeth with a multitude of gardening tools: an axe, a sickle, a curved scythe, a knife, a bloody spike and of course his trusty machete! But the best accessory is the large weed whacker. He also comes with an alternate head and a split hockey mask (that looks great draped over the weed whacker). A highlight of the Ultimate Jason line!...[See More]

Demolition Gremlin 2-Pack (Gremlins 2)
Gremlins (Neca) - Ultimate Collection
Rated 4.85 stars by RMaster007
After the disappointment that was the Brain Gremlin, I wasn't really sure if I would pick up another New Batch figure, or in this case, two of them. Eh, it's a set I've been wanting for a while, and spoiler alert: these two are much, much, better. I really like the packaging for this set, as it's supposed to resemble a big crate, and it sort of fits with the theme. It's easy to take everything out and put back in afterwards, though there's a couple plastic ties and bits of tape to remove for that to happen. Most of the Gremlins looked the same in the first movie, but The New Batch gave them more varied appearances, and this set has two of the generic ones. The bodies are the same, but the colors and the heads are different. Compared to the green Gremlin, the brown one has a narrower...[See More]

Bug Bite
Go-Bots (Tonka) - Super Go-Bots
Rated 4.25 stars by Karl T. Face
It's Bumblebee's evil brother! Nah, as I've probably mentioned before, GoBots actually predates Transformers, slightly. And like its vastly more famous rival, it too borrowed the majority of its molds from various Asian toylines. And so we had two companies releasing yellow VW Beetles that turn into robots, within a year of each other. And today we look at the super-sized Bug Bite. Not having the regular version for comparison, I can only assume this one has a touch more to it, but don't quote me on that. The vehicle mode has a fair amount of metal in it, resulting in a satisfying weight. Detailing is good as far as the body is concerned- gas cap, vents, etc.- but naturally falls apart once you look in the windows. A handful of stickers are included, in case you want scrollwork on the...[See More]

Hudson
Gargoyles (Neca) - Ultimate
Rated 5.00 stars by RMaster007
The Gargoyles line by NECA has only a few figures so far, but it's proven to be a great line thanks to all the effort put into it, and I have a good feeling there'll be a ton of new releases next year. Recently, the line got another addition, which is the elderly Hudson. Since Thailog, the line's been using original artwork, and Hudson's is really nice. As the case is with any NECA release, the packaging is designed to be easy to open, and the removal of some tape and plastic ties is all you need to get everything out. Djordje Djokovic - who also helped out with the boxart - continues to sculpt the line with a mix of screen-accuracy and more details and realism than the cartoon had. Hudson has the two head options the other figures have: a neutral expression and a roaring expression....[See More]

Grimlock & Autobot Wheelie
Transformers - Studio Series (Hasbro) - Movie
Rated 4.80 stars by RMaster007
It's a good time to be a Transformers fan with all the different merch coming out, including a couple different sub-lines from Hasbro. One of those is the Studio Series, and while I've only gotten two from that line so far, both of them are really dang good. One of those is the mighty Dinobot leader Grimlock, and I'm not joking when I say he's my favorite one in my collection (well, second-favorite, I got that Masterpiece Shockwave). Grimlock comes in a window box, since this figure was released before Hasbro decided to push for plastic-free packaging. The figure and nearly everything else are shown clearly in the box, and there's some cool artwork to complement it. There's a few plastic ties to snip to get the figure out, but other than that, everything can be taken out easily. The...[See More]

Wolf Man (Color)
Universal Monsters (Neca) - Ultimate Collection
Rated 4.70 stars by RMaster007
Since Halloween is drawing near, I feel that there's no better time than any to review another Universal Monsters figure by NECA. I already loved the Frankenstein they put out, so after some time, I decided to pick up their second figure: the Wolfman. As the case is with most packages for Ultimate figures, the Wolfman's has the original poster art for the film on the front. The other sides have a nice collage of figure photographs. Like usual, the front is a panel that flaps open to show off what's inside. This is really useful if you're looking for the figure at retail, so you can find the one with the best paint applications. The Wolfman stands about 7 1/4" tall, and has not just one, but two sculptors. Trevor Grove is responsible for the head sculpts, and I assume Kyle Windrix did...[See More]

Captain Atom (Gold) (Chase)
DC Universe Classics (Mattel) - Wave 4
Rated 2.50 stars by Milbury
Nate here is about as plain a figure as they come. No accessories, no base, no open hands to hold anything, just the basic two-fisted figure with standard Marvel Legends-era articulation and that's it. The KC-era styling of his uniform at least sets him apart from the even blander standard Wave 4 Captain Atom, but besides that he's dull as dishwasher. Recommended only for fans of the Captain Atom character or anyone who wants a sidekick for their Wave 19 Magog....[See More]
