Best of Blackest Night part 2
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
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
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 [...]

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
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
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)
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, [...]
