Hiya Toys Judge Giant review
Introduced in issue 27 of 2000ad, in its perennial strip “Judge Dredd”, Judge Giant was a former aeroball player (as seen in the strip, “Harlem Heroes”) who trained to become a street judge- a future lawman, tasked with dispensing instant arrests and sentences- and has the honour of being the first rookie judge ever to…
Hiya Toys Chief Judge Cal review
If there’s a bad job to have in the comic book world of Judge Dredd, 2000AD’s future lawman, it’s the role of chief judge. For some reason, being charge of a post apocalyptic megalopolis where the rule of law is absolute and holds all power over the populous is a bit of a poisoned chalice.…
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Skeletor and Painthor review
Like a lot of old duffers who crave the comfort of being reminded of their youthful past, I had reservations about the character and toy designs from the CGI, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (MOTU) animated show on Netflix. “Clearly this is cheaply made, toddler fodder to get infants to hassle their parents…
Nendoroid Rilakkuma review
Since you asked, the worst part about flat sharing is how my flatmate brings in weird people to live with us without consulting me first. I thought sharing an apartment flat with a little chicken, who insisted on taking care of cooking and cleaning duties, would be a breeze. But a few years ago, he…
Hiya Toys Judge Hershey review
The British comic, 2000AD has been going for over 4 decades now. Since issue 2, one strip has been in nearly every issue (apart from that one in the 90s where it was all Slaine), Judge Dredd. A dystopic vision of the American east coast conglomerated into “Mega-City One”. A hyper industrialised, megalopolis where the…
Masters of the Universe Masterverse Savage He-Man review
I really cannot stress how important it is to regularly check the bargain section of wherever you buy your toys. Yes, more often than not, you find that year’s shelf warmer (a figure of such little popularity it remains on a shop shelf/peg for months: see the Green Lantern movie line) but you also find…
Mezco One:12 The Crow review
I’ve already written about my appreciation for the movie, The Crow, and how I’ve bought several action figures of its protagonist, Eric Draven. In fact, if it wasn’t for that movie you probably wouldn’t be reading this blog. Way back in 2000, someone bought me the Movie Maniacs figure of Eric Draven, which started me…
Masters of the Universe Origins deluxe King Hiss review
Since Mattel remade the classic toy line, Masters of the Universe (MOTU) as a new line that kept the vintage design but had modern articulation under the banner of MOTU Origins, they’ve has been a bit of a regular feature on this blog. Back when the world was in lockdown, and I desperately needed something…
Royal Rumble Elite Vader review
I’ve written about the use of character types in pro wrestling. You know what I mean, the plucky underdog, the cheating bad guy, the egotistical champion. You see them all the time in wrestling, and it takes the right performer to make those character types work. Like when the WWE tried to make Randy Orton…
Masters of the Universe Masterverse Revelation Stinkor review
In my Masters of the Universe (MOTU) Origins Stinkor review , I wrote about the deep nostalgia I feel toward the original, 80s action figure, and more specifically his action feature of having the scent of patchouli oil infused into his plastic. It’s the gimmick that made me buy the Classics (pretty close) and the…
