He-Man and the masters of the Universe Ram Ma’am review

There’s an old saying, “we hurt the ones we love the most”. Meaning we’re most likely to cause the most harm to the people we’re closest to. I think that’s a good way to describe the story arc of Krass, AKA “Ram Ma’am” in Netflix’s CGI Masters of the Universe (MOTU) series so far (season

Masters of the Universe Masterverse: Revelation Faker review

In my many years of being in many fandoms, I learned a neat little skill. It’s called “just go with it”, and is a saying I developed when addressing the one of those never answered questions in pop culture. You know, why does Ace the batdog need to wear a mask? Why are there contrary

Fortnite: emote series Doggo and Lil’ Treat review

Ages ago (back in the lockdown days) I crossed of my collector red lines by buying a figure from a property I wasn’t a fan of. It was a figure of the character Doggo from the video game, Fortnite. Despite having never played the game (and I never will, even with the Twitch channel, so

Masters of the Universe Origins Wind Raider review

The world of Masters of the Universe (MOTU) is a wild place to be. The main hero is a superhuman barbarian who’s best friends with a talking, green tiger, wields a magic sword to fight a skull-faced wizard, and lives on a planet where laser  guns and flying jet skis are a thing but everyone

Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron X-wing review

Since you asked, the last childhood (if you count the teenage years) toy I ever got was the Micro Machines Star Wars “Action Fleet”. These vehicles were much larger than the usual Micro Machines fare, came with tiny figures, and their own display stands. High on the hype of the special edition re-releases of the

Masters of the Universe Origins Webstor review

I’ve often remarked about how Masters of the Universe (MOTU) Origins- Mattel’s modern reimagining of the 80s toy line- has, for the most part, hit the sense of nostalgia I have for the MOTU toys of my childhood, and I think back to a time when everything was so much easier. But was it really?

AEW Unrivaled Adam Page review

There’s a saying from the tennis great Arthur Ashe; “success is a journey, not a destination.” Never has that rung more true than for All Elite Wrestling’s (AEW) “Hangman” Adam Page. From failing to become world champion at AEW’s first ever pay-per-view, losing his confidence as a singles wrestler; the tag team run with Kenny

Lightyear Space Ranger Alpha Buzz Lightyear review

By now (at time of writing) the meta prequel to the Toy Story series, “Lightyear”, will have just had its theatrical release. It’s the movie that made Andy fall in love with the titular space ranger, thusly asking his mother for a Buzz Lightyear figure for his  birthday and setting the events for the first

Masters of the Universe Origins flying fists He-Man review

A common occurrence in action figure lines are “evergreens”- characters whose popularity the line is based around. Market forces insist they appear, pretty much, in every wave, or how else would someone want to jump in if they can’t get the most popular characters? But what about the people who were on board since day

Gundam Infinity Wing Gundam review

In the UK, especially in the 90s, there was only one thing harder to get on a regular basis than anime, and that was anime merchandise. Before we all had the internet at our literal fingertips, you either found a shop that specialized in anime stuff via adverts in magazines like Manga Mania or SFX,
