A Plethora of Arts
So remember last week when I complained about the severe lack of new arrivals post-holiday and there was barely anything for me to talk about that WASN’T comic book related? Well don’t fret folks, that’s not an issue for this week. Our import section got a HUGE shipment in this past week, and we now [...]

Halo Reach Spartan Gungnir Review
As much as I’ve been enjoying the Reach toyline, there’s been one thing that’s been getting on my nerves: the lack of originality. Far too many of the multiplayer Spartans come in just one color without any special attachments or whatever. Heck, every Spartan in Series 6 is pretty much the same crap we’ve seen [...]

Man Vs Machine
I’ve been called a Luddite on more than one occasion. Having a healthy fear of technology is a good thing in my book. So you might understand why the fact that a computer whooping the asses of two of the biggest Jeopardy champions might just cause me to freak out a bit. Check out part [...]
Night Of The Living Barbies
Last week Mattel created quite a buzz with the release of their Barbie dolls based off of the 1980′s television show Dynasty. Honestly I barely remember the show but I’m guessing it has a pretty big cult following cause the dolls sold out immediately and people are still asking for them. What I do know [...]

Lard Lad
Forgot to eat all day and realized I wasn’t going to be able to stand much longer without sustenance. My solution? A bagel with a whole lotta gooey cream cheese. How do I feel? Like this: Except I’m not made of vinyl and I don’t have Kidrobot tattooed on my butt.
