Marvel Universe Thanos Review
by Loran Larger 3.75” figures tend to be pretty hit or miss. Once in awhile, you can get something great like the Resolute/Rise of Cobra sculpt for Roadblock from G.I. Joe; a great interpretation of the character that gives him the proper height amongst his teammates. Other times you end up with the drones from [...]
Blood, Guts, and Glory!
In case some of the people who are reading this happen to be superhero fans of the DC/Marvel persuasion, there is a series you should consider as your stepping stone into the world of Japanese manga. It’s called Berserk, and its 35th volume hits our shelves this week. People who are already addicted to this [...]
“I Love Bad Movies”- 2 Great Events!!
Do you like movies? Do you like classics? Well, I have terrible news. Terrible, awesome news. “I Love Bad Movies” is showing the “classic” “film” Mac & Me this Friday at the 92nd Street Y! But wait!- There’s more! The good folks from “I Love Bad Movies” will be at Pete’s Mini Zine Fest this Saturday, Oct [...]
The Good, The Bad, and the Far too Pretty
Back after a week off during which I dressed up as a pirate, drew silly comics, and tackled a fire in my cave. Some careless animal tried to toast pine cones in my toaster while I was gone and, predictably, they got jammed in the slot. It was probably that jerk, the bullfinch. GOOD PICKS [...]

Oct 6, 6:30 at Forbidden PlanetNYC In-store signing with the creators of FEEDING GROUND and AWAKENING!
Checking in with the Marvel Universe
by Chris Troy Say what you will about the new 52, but DC has managed to keep everyone talking about their comics since the announcement months ago. Marvel on the other hand, had a great summer in the box office, but hasn’t been able to produce something to counter the DC reboot/relaunch buzz aside from [...]
The new 52 and old figures.
By Chris Troy It’s been awhile Forbidden Planet Faithful! I’m back after spending some down in Orlando (I rode on Star Tours, YAY!) and now I’m once again ready to tell you what new stuffs FPNYC has gotten in. And with my return, I’ve brought the NFL with me! That’s right, I’m talking about sports [...]
D-Arts Mega Man Zero review
By Loran I guess I picked a good time to get into Mega Man, huh? It’s hard to believe such a great franchise went so long without toys that were both good and affordable. Now we have Kotobukiya making the kits for the original series and Bandai making the D-Arts figures for the X series. [...]
Brothers, Homunculi & Alchemy, Oh My!
Obviously the book that is going to rush off the shelves this week is the second-to-last Full Metal Alchemist volume. That shouldn’t surprise anyone, but the excitement that’s building as the story dwindles to a close definitely will! Even if you are one of the new FMA fans that went hog wild over the rehashed [...]
Morgan Pielli’s Pile of Minis: N.Y.D.I. #1
Having just returned from a great work-cation at this year’s SPX (selling my comics to a comics-thirsty public and then drinking wine like a wine-thirsty Bacchus), all I can think about right now is the self-publishing scene. And also not being on my feet all weekend. Not standing AND the self-publishing scene. We are in [...]
Gundam AGE kit releases
By Loran Next month, Gundam AGE will be hitting the airwaves in Japan. I’ve made my thoughts on the show pretty clear in my last article on the series, though I think my opinion is starting to change. While I have no plans on actively following the show while it’s airing, I don’t feel as [...]
30th Anniversary Sgt. Stalker Review
By Loran Some people tend to really hate repaints and remolds. I could never really understand why. Sure, if it’s a reuse of a bad figure then it’s perfectly understandable. But what’s wrong with buying a great mold more than once? Sometimes repaints can be pointless, yes (Tuner Mudflap, I’m looking at you) but other [...]
30th Anniversary Cobra Trooper Review
By Loran I’m gonna come out and say it: I didn’t like G.I. Joe: 25th Anniversary. While I more than welcomed the new style of figure construction, a few things were just off. They didn’t blend in with the old figures at all, the distribution was poor, and there were a lot of growing pains [...]

Thursday September 22nd 9:30 PM VHS Goes To Camp at Brooklyn’s Nitehawk Cinema VHS Vault has shed its suit for a more rustic look as VHS Goes To Camp… Camp Motion Pictures that is. So pack a knapsack full of tapes and fresh drawers cause what we have in store will make you pitch a [...]
