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.

Review: Batman ’66 Wayne Manor Library
Dioramas are a great way to make your action figure display pop. Some can make amazing displays by themselves. Others. like me, require a premade option. While there are companies like Extreme Sets (which made the chairs in my pictures) that make detailed sets including space docks and city blocks, sometimes you can find a…

Ah, Christmas. The time of year you think about the song “Silent Night”. The nights are getting longer, too, so Christmas is a dark night. Do you know who else is a silent, Dark Knight? Batman. So, what better hero to have a holiday-themed figure in the DC Multiverse line? Batman is a lot like…

Double Shot Review: DC Multiverse Cyclone and Batwoman (Unmasked)
I haven’t done a DC Multiverse review since June?!? It is not like I haven’t been getting any; I just never got around to them. So, to mix it up a bit, here are two figures I picked up before Christmas: Cyclone from the Black Adam movie and the unmasked Batwoman from Batman Beyond. The…

Review DC Direct Super Powers Superman, Batman and Darkseid
One of my favourite toy lines from my childhood was the Super Powers toy line of the mid-1980s. Being a big fan of DC Comics and the Super Friends cartoons, a line of all-new figures with action features really appealed to me. The figures were everywhere, and I mean everywhere.

Review: DC Multiverse Harley Quinn (The Suicide Squad wave)
What is with MacFarlane Toys avoiding making Harley Quinn figures? Sure, we have the one in her classic outfit in the first wave, looking somewhere between her comic look and her DCAU look, yet missing the mark on both. They teased a Harley from the Birds of Prey movie yet it never came out! With…
