Zombo action figure review

When it comes to 2000AD, the galaxie's greatest comic, we've always been lacking for merchandise compared to the big two. So how could I not pick up this retro-styled figure of Al Ewing and Henry Flint's friendly, zombie/human hybrid, crime fighter, Zombo?

I don't give a fudge about your war... or your president

Sorry Barack, you're gonna to get your own chocolate treat. Maybe Jack Burton has a spare curly wurly?

Pop Vinyl Captain Phasma Review

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back. Three rotten prequel movies, and a uninspiring CGI spin-off show put paid to my Star Wars fandom, and then JJ Abrams had to go try and make a good one. What can I say?

So, I'm passing a Disney store and see all the new Force Awakens toys on display, and I grab the last Phasma Pop Vinyl there.

I ain't afraid of no blind bag mini-figure!

Do zombie pirates count as ghosts? Or would the proton beams simply tear his body apart and make a right old mess? Leave that conundrum to Dan Aykroyd, because I'm too jazzed by the latest Lego mini-figure line, the theme being monsters. And just in time for Halloween. I grabbed a random bag at a Lego store and got the zombie pirate, who comes with a big old sword, hook, beard, and excellent, painted on, detail that shows off the decaying skin. And with the use of a Tamashii Stage (act.5 for mechanics to be exact) and some blu-tack, you can give your Lego Ghostbusters a supernatural foe to battle.

Li'l Gotham blind bag mini-figure review

 Kotobukia have been really getting my attention lately. Their recent line of reasonably priced "ArtFX" statues, in their "Art FX" line, as well as their growing line of model kits, but most of all their new mini-figure line, based on the "Li'l Gotham" comic.
