What I bought at Heroescon, and what you should buy too.
::: Vacuums after a lengthy absence ::: Yo apparently this blog begins and end with me if the lack of updates indicate anything. So Heroescon obviously has passed once again, and according to this article’s title, I was there. Yes that’s me dressed as Clint Barton with Hawkeye writer Matt Fraction. (No, you cannot touch [...]

Stand tall for the Beast of America. Or Againist. Your choice.
Welcome back to FPNYC’s offical Bioshock blog (Blogshock? Bioblog?)!! “REAL” Bioshock fans will get the reference in the title, which only make sense if you own a TV. And continue to not comment on the blog. Good times. I mentioned the existence of a “Bioshock Infinite” art book last week, and now that I’ve beaten [...]

And that doesn’t excite you, don’t worry, there’s some comic book toy talk a-coming as well! Did you know for a mere $60 you too [...]
Toy Fair 2013: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Toy Fair has happen and me start this article by thanking whatever Hasbro employee is reading this site on the regular, or stalking me elsewhere, internet or in real life. The fruits of your research are something I’m willing to throw some serious cash at this year, and since my wife is out of town [...]
Square Vs Chris round 3, also a Young Avengers review
Trolls trolling trolls, I swear. Apparently it’s been a whopping whole 1 week since the release of the last set of figures from Square Enix, so the company decided to release another 2 to make up that “massive” gap in time (Not unlike Marvel’s wacky double shipping schedules). This time around it’s Batman, a figure [...]
Chris’ list o’ things to throw money at in 2013
I suppose a 2013 preview list should not be written 14 days into year, but I did a lot of traveling over the holidays, and acquired several video games of worth. If anything, SEGA should be held responsible for pushing “Anarchy Reigns” back to this week. Anywho, 2012 was a shockingly awesome year for collectibles, [...]
Because I’m always right- Best of 2012, toys edition
Not to be outdone by fellow FPNYC blogger Unkie Dev, my wife and I also got an addition to our family this week. Only ours has come in the form of a cat. “Pixel” is currently hiding under a bookshelf after a an hour long train ride from Manhattan to Brooklyn, because that kind of [...]
Hey look, more Play Arts!
Holy crap it is really December?! Ugh, this means I need to buy multiple gifts for people. And by gifts I mean video games and gift cards. My friends are actually kind of easy to shop for truth be told, but that’s money I could be spending on myself, especially if we’re going to end [...]
(Belated) N7 Day figure spectacular!
Dear Mother Nature, YO, QUIT IT, SHIT’S PLAYED OUT! No love, Chris Troy Greeting FPNYC Faithful! If you’re anything like me (first off, let me say that I’m sorry to hear that), you’re quite tired of crappy weather. And perhaps politics. Bigs up to anyone who made a informed vote, because being politically responsible is [...]
Review: Final Fantasy Trading Arts Kai wave 1
OH LOOK IT’S OCTOBER! THIS MEANS NEW YORK COMIC CON IS IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS, AND WE ARE SOLD OUT OF TICKETS. ALL OF THEM. THEY ARE NO MORE! Don’t fret though if you didn’t but them, I won’t be shutting up about what I did at this year’s con until November, so you’ll [...]
Shadow of the Summer Box Office
I’d make a clever pun regarding the heat but my brain is currently a pile of mush thanks to a combination of binge drinking over the weekend and said heat. That and I’m never clever, hung over or not. Let’s make with the toy news instead, yes? For those of you not the know, this [...]
Back by “Popular” Demand!
by Chris Troy It’s been awhile hasn’t it FPNYC faithful! I would have written sooner, but I had a trinity of things keeping me away from blogging as of late, as my ass was in Boston earlier for PAX East, Chicago over a week ago for C2E2 and then celebrated my 3rd year of marriage [...]
Large headed Heroes, Ponies and a brief, belated Toy Fair 2012 Recap
by Chris Troy. I really hate typing out cliche stuff like “a dollar doesn’t buy you much these days, especially in NYC”, but considering how much it costs to ride the subway these days, it’s kind of true. HOWEVER, for a mere $1, you can pick one of the new Marvel Heroes Buildable Figurines from [...]
Halo Reach Red Team Mongoose Review
By Loran I’ve always loved the vehicles in Halo. They really felt like the one thing that made the game stand out and reach its current level of popularity. Also, putting the vehicles in a third person perspective instead of staying in the first person was a wise move. When you keep it in the [...]
