Too Much Awesome

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe might be historically significant in the world of toys but it just couldn’t compete against its contemporaries.

As a life long wrestling fan, it came as very sad news to hear about the passing of Macho Man Randy Savage. Macho Man was a childhood hero of mine and helped pro wrestling become one of the most popular forms of entertainment on the planet. I used to watch WWF on Saturday mornings religiously, [...]

There’s something especially magical about action figures. Perhaps it’s the way they allow the player to project anything upon them, or the variety that they come in, but certainly part of the fascinating is seeing a literal, physical representation of a work of fiction. Suddenly Wolverine isn’t just a character in a book, but rather [...]

It’s funny that as we grow up we look for ways to stay in touch with our childhood in more adult-acceptable ways. If you’re like me, that means finding non-toy toys, like bobbleheads, key chains and dare I even say “collectible” figures.

Has it already been over a year since I posted one of my favorite articles, my list of the 10 Most Ridiculous TMNT Action Figures? In searching for the strangest, I also found some of the coolest, but alas, I never got around to showing those. Until now anyway. In the spirit of Halloween, I [...]

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.

Tony Stark’s technological marvel is back with plenty of articulation, tons of oversized weapon attachments, and each with a personality of its own.
