The Dragonball Z Technique Guide

The Dragonball Z Technique Guide

Every character has his signature attacks, but which ones work best? As a huge DBZ fan, I’ve come to considered myself an expert on every aspect of the show. I’ve mentioned a few plotholes I found unacceptable (because this is very serious business), as well as some filler plots that bugged me. But I was careful to give ten excellent points where the show was awesome. I’ve been rolling some ideas around in my head and thought maybe I could do...

“But the Effects Were Decent”: A Review of The Last Airbender

The fires of critics have declared blasphemy. But some believe there is still hope. A week ago, I may have unnecessarily shot off more that I can stomach when I ended a previous article [this one] by stating the upcoming live action film adaptation of Avatar the Last Airbender as a possible candidate for the beginning of what could become the next Harry Potter, or even Star Wars.  Read More →

Top 10 Misconceptions of Avatar The Last Airbender

I leaped like a hogmonkey after the 9-month hiatus between seasons 2 and 3. For the last five years, there has been one show that has captured my imagination like nothing before it. Avatar The Last Airbender, is a Nickelodeon Animated series about a twelve year old boy freed from an iceberg, only to discover he’s been frozen for a hundred years, the world is engulfed in war, and his entire people have been wiped out. I believe it would be very safe... 

Forget-Them-Not: A Review of Toy Story 3

Forget-Them-Not: A Review of Toy Story 3

So much to see, so little time in which to see it. We don’t usually do movie reviews here at Toy-TMA, but the Toy Story series is different; these movies explain why a website like this one exists in the first place. We, as complicated beings, hold so much affection for our playthings, and these movies are big salutes to our reliable, inanimate friends.  Read More →

The Toys Are Back In Town Yet Again: Toy Story 3 Toys

The Toys Are Back In Town Yet Again: Toy Story 3 Toys

These are some pretty high quality toys right here. Toy Story's still got it. I don’t want to jinx this, but I’d really like to see Toy Story 3 receive a perfect 100% at Rotten Tomatoes, thus making the Toy Story series have a perfect score. While it’s most likely not going to happen since at least one reviewer will be jaded for no reason other than to cost it a perfect score, it’ll still be a hugely successful movie. And you know what... 

Top 10 Worst Instances of Filler in Dragonball Z

Top 10 Worst Instances of Filler in Dragonball Z

Prepare for STILL MORE nerd rage! We all know I love Dragonball Z, and I’m pretty sure there’re a handful of you out there who still do, too. While I certainly made sure to show my love for DBZ, I also made not one but two lists of plotholes I deemed unacceptable. A lot of comments hit me like a Solar Flare, arguing that I hadn’t listed real plotholes but rather just instances of filler used to allow time for the manga to catch up to the anime....

Forget-Me-Nots: My Daredevil Action Figure

Certainly a handsome devil, isn't he? I got into comics when I was about thirteen or fourteen. While perusing the video store, I found this extremely detailed figure packaged with a reprint of classic Daredevil issue #167.  Read More →

I Am Still Iron Man: Iron Man 2 Toys

I Am Still Iron Man: Iron Man 2 Toys

The man of the hour, or rather, the Iron Man of the hour. See what I did there? Tony Stark’s technological marvel is back with plenty of articulation, tons of oversized weapon attachments, and each with a personality of its own. The figure series consists of a wide variety of Iron Man and War Machine suits, all lying out like a roll of schematics. It conjures a funny image of Tony Stark’s garage littered with Iron Man armor: white for snow, blue...
