Ex Gokin Transformers Optimus Prime and Grimlock by Art Storm

I just spotted these really incredible looking action figures of Optimus Prime and Grimlock over at theFwoosh.com. The figures a actually Ex Gokin die-cast metal alloy models by a company called Art Storm. I really love the look of them. They look exactly as I picture them from the original Transformers cartoon (Generation 1). Yes, these are Transformers that don't transform, but I've always been more of a fan of the robots then what they turn...

Evil Within delayed until October 21st, 2014

For example, they can show you a cool title this year and everyone expects it to come out the next and when the time finally comes around, gamers are constantly disappointed that the title isn't coming out until the following year....

Say Wah!? Baby Skeletor

MattyCollector.com has come out with one of the oddest exclusives yet, a baby doll of Skeletor.  Yes, the Skeletor from Masters of the Universe and nemesis to He-Man. This thing is just crazy. I'm not judging anyone who wants one of these, I'm just curious as to who does. Although the more I look at the picture of him on the Panthor potty, the more it makes me crack up, which I guess makes it a pretty fun novelty. Here is more information...

McFarlane Toys: Walking Dead Daryl and Merle Action Figure Review

Today's review is of McFarlane Toy's Walking Dead action figures, Daryl and Merle Dixon.  The Daryl figure represents his standard biker vest look and comes with his ride of choice, a Triumph chopper, while his brother Merle's figure depicts him after he's been turned into a zombie.  Originally I was just going to just get Daryl, but you can't very well have someone from Walking Dead and not have a zombie for him to fight.  In this...

Artist Spotlight: Noel Cruz

Today's Artist Spotlight is of an amazing doll repaint artist named Noel Cruz.  You can see more of his amazing face repaints at his website http://ncruz.com/ and bid on his work when it becomes available on his Ebay page.  What really draws me to these repaints are the detail in the eyes as that's what, in my opinion, makes a figure really pop.  Even the most expensive figures nowadays just do a too simplified quick...

X-Men: Days of Future Past Critique

SPOLIER WARNING! It's important that I start this article off by saying I enjoyed X-Men: Days of Future Past quite a bit.  In fact, it is probably my favorite X-Men related movie to date.  The reason it is imperative that I state this is because I will spend the rest of this "critique" ripping the movie apart.  I promise it's out of love for these mutant characters. While X:DoFP is an extremely entertaining and enjoyable...
