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.

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. Thankfully, Mighty Muggs is a line of toys that fits the bill wonderfully [...]

It has been a long time since I’ve had a GI Joe action figure in my hands. I managed to hang on to a few of the figures from my childhood, but overall they’ve all been lost to the ages. Recently I’ve seen the new GI Joe figures on the shelves and wrote them off [...]

As a product of the 90’s, I loved action figures growing up. They were always my go-to toy of choice whenever it was fun time and my creative juices were flowing. In fact I think it was all those years crafting and simulating fast paced action packed scenarios with my heroic plastic relics that would [...]

While searching through the archives at the Virtual Ninja Turtle Museum for really cool Ninja Turtle outfits, I came across a ton of really, really awesome action figures that I couldn’t mention due to the limitations of the list parameters. Therefore, it’s time for another list focusing on only the side characters released via the [...]

October is now over and with it leaves the articles of October. But did you get a chance to read them all? We had a lot of good ones to pick from this month, so if you’ve still got to catch up, now’s the time. Take a look back at October 2010 in review. Chris’ [...]

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 [...]

We’ve hit our Friday of the week, and at the moment, Kyle and I are rather busy with some big things (we’re recording a separate, legit podcast with a very special guest). That means I’m going to keep today light and nostalgic, which lends itself to a Forget-Me-Nots, the segment Kyle came up with but [...]
