Mattel did not have a good 2007, especially with all of that controversy over the lead paint used on its toys. But even with that kind of bad publicity looming over the company, the guys at Mattel are still churning out new products for kids and kids at heart.
I am quite excited about the DC […]

One of the most hotly anticipated movies next year is the new Iron Man movie. The cleverly cast film (Robert Downey, Jr. is a spot on choice for Tony Stark) is scheduled to be shown on May 2, 2008, which marks beginning of the summer film season. Of course, a superhero film will never be […]

It’s really hard to choose gifts for your techie friends. Most likely they already have what you have and what they don’t have, they don’t for a reason (it’s too expensive, phasers haven’t been invented yet). It’s a real dilemma.
For problems like this, there is only one solution, amusing gifts with a tech bent […]

Among Spider-man’s rogue’s gallery, I have to say Scorpion is one of my least favorites. I am not too sold on his origin story (a private investigator hired by J Jonah Jameson, who was eventually used in an experiment to grant him scorpion-like powers), and really, even though he may be the bad guy I’d […]

I used to collect Marvel Legends toys. I loved the way their initial lines were sculpted. Take for example the Thor figure that really captures the wrath and godly demeanor of the Norse god of war. unfortunately, the line has continually declined in quality through the years. From the great articulation around the torso, the […]

I think I’ve mentioned before that I collect CDs and comicbooks. Well, let me just add that I also collect PC and console games, DVDs, vintage watches and action figures. I used to collect a lot of action figure lines but because of space constraints and taking notice of the suffering my wife has […]

Crysis is one of the most anticipated games of the year. So anticipated in fact that Crytek, its developer, released the Crysis demo a few weeks ago to much fanfare.
But it looks like Crytek may have made a virtual boo-boo.
There are reports that the Crysis demo can be hacked to unlock a whole lot of […]

This $799, 5 foot tall statue of an animated version of Princess Leia is sure to delight the most frightening of Star Wars fans - filling their evil minds with horrible thoughts. For others, it may make a cool addition to their collections. Either way, it’s coming in May of 2008 - and […]

Dalek Sec was a human/Dalek hybrid that appeared in the Doctor Who episode “Dalek’s in Manhattan”. If you don’t know who Doctor Who or the Daleks are - you just lost 20 Geek-creds, and you need to go do some Googling. Don’t worry, I’ll wait.
…ok, now that you know who they are, this […]

I’m all for girls with guns. And this artist seems to be all for taking advantage of Halo’s popularity as he has put up, for the second time, a female spartan figure. Unlike the first one, this one isn’t wearing a helmet, and one could say that it isn’t as feminine as the first. Still, […]

“YABO is friendly robot for lonely unmarried persons.”
Yes, that is the actual description of this little droid on the designer’s official website. At least he knows his target audience right?
In all seriousness, YABO here is a design concept droid (and yes, I really am going to refer to all of these robots from here […]

Yup…

This one of a kind clay statue (or figure…I’m not sure what the technical term is), is an amazingly well crafted concept for what Master Chief would look like as a chick.
The item is up on eBay for sale - and it fetching quite the pretty penny. 10% of which is going […]

I missed this when it first hit the web, so for those of you, like me, that didn’t get to see it - BEHOLD - the Decepticons from the new Transformers Animated series.
This image comes to us via Toys R Evil’s Guide to the Series, which has enough content on it for me to post […]

If you have $500 and about three years of your life to give up, consider picking up the new LEGO Millennium Falcon set.  This sucker boasts 5,000 pieces and a four-pound manual. 
I would think about getting this, but, I could barely make it through the little 6 piece LEGO sets they used to give away at McDonalds before my […]

Although the game that’s probably on your mind right now is Halo 3, you can’t help but to acknowledge Metal Gear Solid 4’s greatness. From the in-game gameplay to the latest TGS trailer, MGS 4 has wow’ed all of the TGS visitors and most gamers every time we get a new glimpse of what it […]

This very strange looking custom vinyl Darth Vader figure looks…um…odd to me. The face is actually a skull and crossbones, even though it looks like some kind of horrible, cancerous growth. This vinyl figure is going to be ultra-rare, limited to only 500 pieces, and will only be sold in Japan.
On top of […]
