Best of Blackest Night part 2

Chris | November 28, 2010

By Christopher Troy Before we dive back into the DC Direct Blackest Night figures, I just wanted to let those you who expressed interest to the Persona keychain figurines via Twitter  that we have more in stock if you want to come in to pick up a few (Again, $7 a pop is pretty good, [...]

Pursuit of Cobra Commander Alley Viper Review

Chris | November 27, 2010

By Loran As I mentioned previously in the Cobra Commander review, it was COBRA that truly got me into G.I. Joe in the first place, but what kept me into it were all of COBRA’s soldiers. I seem to have an odd hardon for urban combat (maybe it’s the close-quarters setting that makes it so [...]

A Unicorn-y build log part 3

Chris | November 27, 2010

By Loran The kit building has been progressing quite nicely! ReZel is pretty much complete though he needs a bit of touchup work still (I need better lighting in my bedroom). Today I also received a huge box of Gunpla that will pretty much be supplying the next few reviews-a GM Kai, the Ball Twin [...]

Wishful Thinking and The Comics That Exist

lindsay | November 26, 2010

By Unkiedev Batman:Odyssey #5 is as classic as classic gets, with fan favorite Neal Adams returning to the iconic character that made him en ever popular artist. Amazing Spider-Man #649 has got some great talents behind it, too. Deadpool is going to fight Howard the Duck’s “break-out Super-Villain,” the amazing Doctor Bong, in Deadpool #29. [...]

Best of DC Directs Blackest Night figures part 1

Chris | November 22, 2010

by Christopher Troy Before addressing the topic of this article, I just want to point out the current FPNYC-fueled addiction in my life: The Persona 3&4 keychains by Megahouse. The cult-fave PS2/PSP J-rpgs released by Atlus have seen little to no merchandise (outside of a few artbooks, statues or a Figma or 2), and this [...]

Review: Pursuit of Cobra Commander

Chris | November 21, 2010

By Loran I’m a big G.I. Joe fan. I love the toys, I love the characters, and I love the vehicles. But what I love most of all is COBRA. It always seems that they have the more interesting stories, characters, backgrounds, and well, having armies of silly-looking soldiers and awesome vehicles helps their case [...]

A Unicorn-y Build Log (part 2)

Chris | November 21, 2010

By Loran After an on-off week consisting of papers, work, and Gunpla work, I’m mostly finished with my Unicorn kits… well, the first one anyway. However, it’s very nice to be back in the mostly-full swing of building Gunpla again-I’ve been out of this way too long and it really kind of shows. For one, [...]

New Manga: Oh My Susano!

lindsay | November 17, 2010

By Mat K. I know the title this week is a little dramatic, but there is practically nothing coming out this week. I know there was that one week a little while ago that absolutely nothing came out, but this is pretty damn close. That’s right, only five titles grace us with their presence this [...]

New Comics Worth the Money

lindsay | November 17, 2010

By Unkiedev Somebody killed all the good, fun, bright and new ideas in comic books. Is there anyone to save us? Holy Crap! A New Hellboy book?! Richard Corben, 70’s Heavy Metal Magazine favorite and erstwhile Hellboy artist is back in the artistic saddle with big daddy Mike Mignola whipping him onward via the written [...]

NECA Player’s Select Line

Chris | November 15, 2010

by Christopher Troy Up to now, most of the video game related figures we’ve looked at have been created by Square Enix, as most of them have been based on Japanese properties. However, Square’s expansion to non-Final Fantasy/ Kingdom Hearts properties is still fairly new, and they wouldn’t be the first company to handle both [...]
