Review: G.I. Joe Classified Series Tele-Viper and Cobra Flight Pod (Trubble Bubble)
G.I. Joe Classified is slowly adding to the list of vehicles it has in the line. While larger vehicles will probably stay Haslabs of Pulse exclusives, some smaller vehicles like the RAM and the COIL were released into stores (though they both were Target/TRU Canada exclusives.) Hasbro opted to release the Cobra Flight Pod through Hasbro Pulse…

Review: G.I. Joe Classified Series Tiger Force Duke and RAM
In the toy industry, the repaint is king. You can take an already-made mould, slap another paint scheme on it, and you have a new product. Hasbro has always done this with G.I. Joe. In 1988 they used the Tiger Force subline to re-release figures and vehicles with a new paint scheme. The G.I Joe Classified Series is doing the same, sometimes releasing…

Review: WWE Ultimate Edition Asuka
Wrestling continues to be a guilty pleasure of mine. I don’t watch the shows often, but I do watch the recaps of the episodes and PLEs for both AEW and WWE. I find the Women’s division the most interesting. In the last ten years, women’s wrestling has become more than cute girls in tights (NTTAWWT),…

Double Review: Marvel Legends – Marvel Knights Clea and Blade
Marvel Knights is a line of in-universe superhero stories aimed at a mature audience with more violence and adult language. Heroes in this line include the likes of Daredevil. Power Man, Doctor Strange and Blade. Hasbro has released a wave featuring heroes from the Marvel Knights comic and we will look at two of them;…

Review: Masters of the Universe Masterverse- Masters of the Universe (Movie) Evil-Lyn
The Masters of the Universe movie, by all metrics, was a cheesy 1980s movie. Released in 1987, when the Master of the Universe toy line was struggling and the tie-in cartoon had run its course (and the She-Ra spinoff was doing the same,) it did the line no favours by setting most of the action…

Review: G.I. Joe Classified Series Clutch w/ V.A.M.P.
Hasbro has been taking its time getting out vehicles for the G.I. Joe Classified Series. They have to make sure that they can make something that the fans will like but at a reasonable price point. While larger and more complex items like the H.I.S.S and the Dragonfly went the Haslab route, smaller vehicles like…

Review: DC Multiverse McFarlane Collector Edition Captain Carrot
Funny animals and comics have been connected since the beginning of the medium. The Scrooge McDuck books have to be some of the most influential, as his portrayal informed later cartoon adaptations of the characters. There were also funny animal superheroes, such as Hoppy the Marvel Bunny, an anthropomorphic counterpart to the original Captain Marvel.…

Review: DC Multiverse McFarlane Collector Edition Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman has been around for more than 80 years. In that time, she has appeared in various magazines, starred in a live-action TV show, was featured in cartoons and even had toys made of her. Some of them were even action figures, such as her Super Powers figure. So why has McFarlane Toys taken…

Review: Marvel Legends – Squadron Supreme Power Princess (Void BAF Wave)
Do you ever wish for a DC and Marvel Comics collaborative toy line? Back in the 1970s, we had the MEGO’s 12-inch and 8-inch World’s Greatest Super Heroes line. There was even the smaller Pocket Heroes line. Sure, they both have their toy lines, but McFarlane’s DC Multiverse does not scale with Hasbro’s Marvel Legends,…

Review: Masters of the Universe Masterverse New Eternia Ram Man
Masters of the Universe is known for the many different characters with on-the-nose names. You expect a man named Man-At-Arms to be a weapon master, a guy called Beast Man, to be a, well, a beast man, and a dude called Syclone to spin like a cyclone. Ran Man is another example. He rams, man.…
