By Loran Like every other Transformers line in history, Generations is chock-full of repaints (well, redecos) and retools. Of course, this got some people’s panties in a twist, but what do you expect? It’s Transformers. I guess repaints were only acceptable in the first few years *shrug*. Unlike Universe 2.0, however, these repaints don’t use [...]

By Mat K. So, there’s not actually any kind of special TokyoPop event going on, so much as its just a major release week for them, and kudos to them for that. After last week’s minimal title list, we have at least 20 new books coming in this time, which is quite a nice little [...]

By Unkiedev This year for Christmas, as with all years, I gave my Dad Comic Books. My family, maybe like yours, doesn’t understand me at times. Some of them try, many of them don’t. I admit I’m a big weird geek who likes strange things, though from their perspective I’m still playing with toys and [...]

By Chris Troy Every Christmas, a strange man with a funny accent comes to visit in an odd flying device. Granted his Christmas adventures usually don’t make it to US shore until 6 months after they air, BBC America has done a bang-up job of changing that, as this year’s special actually aired on US [...]

By Loran Once again, Hasbro dives into the classic Marvel Comics villains for their new toylines. This time, it’s Thunderwing, the insane Matrix-obsessed Decepticon that once came close to taking out Unicron. Like most classic villains, his original figure demands absurd prices on the aftermarket. This is mostly because, well, his original figure was kind [...]

By Loran It’s time for the return of the Unicorn-y build log! Apologies for not delivering last week, let’s just say my finals week was like being stuck in a Zeon POW camp. Of course, I just got off pre-holiday rush at work, which is really not much better. Anyway, in what time I have [...]

By Christopher Troy DC Direct seems to like making a liar out of me. A while back, I previewed 3 different lines of figures (Blackest Night series 7 & 8, Mass Effect 2 series 1) that were supposed to be on shelves by now. They aren’t, and all 3 lines have been pushed back to [...]

By Loran If there’s one character in G.I. Joe I can’t stand, it’s Duke. Yeah, I know, he’s the leader. But he isn’t the leader, Hawk is! I’ll never understand why the Sunbow cartoon chose to make him the leader over Hawk, to the point where Flint (who outranks Duke) took orders from him. Maybe [...]

By Loran Hasbro, it’s about time, and you’ve really outdone yourselves! Ever since the Classics line debuted back in 2006, I’m pretty sure Jazz was really high the list of characters fans wanted to see updated. And why wouldn’t they? Jazz is awesome! He’s cool, he’s suave, and he’s the Autobots’ second-in-command in the cartoon [...]

By Devin T. Quin Robots make for crap super heroes. We want robots as friends, pets and secret lovers, but NOT as replacements to our own lives. In a medium all about projecting our own wants onto fictional characters there is a gigantic flaw to robots as super-heroes: NO HUMAN WANTS TO BE A ROBOT. [...]
