How I Became a Fan: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

On the half-shell, they’re the heroes four; in that day and age, who could ask for more?
PMO Needs Your Help!
Jun 4, 2013 | Site News, Toys, Video Games, Wrestling
And by "PMO," I mean "I need your help." Same difference. For a while, I've built up something of a backlog of different topics I've been wanting to write about here. Between trying to decide on which ones to do and all of my other responsibilities, they've largely...
The Big Haul for May 2013
Jun 2, 2013 | Comic Books/Cartoons, Toys, Video Games
I don't get to go out shopping for fun stuff very often, and even when I do, the hauls aren't always great. But I recently had the opportunity to hit several places in Toronto, and found that I had a pretty good haul, so I decided to share here. Starting from least to...
Coming to San Diego Comic-Con: Everything You Want, But Cannot Have
Jul 20, 2010 | Comic Books/Cartoons, Toys
The 2010 San Diego Comic-Con is this week, and as always, it brings with it lots of exclusive toys for attendees to buy. This is often a painful endeavor for those who cannot go, as aftermarket prices can be simply insane, but this year seems worse than ever! Topless...
Animated Rodimus is Just Prime
Jul 11, 2010 | Toys
I don't usually post toy reviews here very much, but this one has me rather excited. Arise, Animated Rodimus Prime*! According to the review, it sounds like Roddy is showing up exclusively at Toys R Us stores now (mine still don't have Transformers Generations Optimus...
Celebrating 25 Years of TransFormers: 1984-2009
May 8, 2009 | Toys
Today marks the 25th anniversary of the TransFormers franchise. Well, the observed anniversary, anyway; as G.B. Blackrock details on The Allspark, a specific date of Hasbro announcing the toyline or finding the airdate of the first commercial would be entirely too...
I Made a Difference!
Mar 15, 2009 | Comic Books/Cartoons, Toys, Video Games
Or, at least, that's what I'll believe so long as David "Walky" Willis doesn't say otherwise. A few weeks ago, he posted this TNI Shortpacked comic over at Toy News International. Following that, I couldn't help but let him know of the recent sightings at...
Walky Reviews City Commander
Not that I think anyone reading this especially cares, but just in case: Walky has a nice review of the aforementioned City Commander armor, which you can find here. Wow, this guy is big. I'm actually rather surprised that he's nearly as tall, if not as tall, as the...
City Commander, Transform!
This is nothing short of pure awesome. I think I may have linked to it before in its early stages, but it's worth mentioning again. The TransFormers fans at FansProject heard the cry from many other fans of the one problem had by the TransFormers Classics release of...
A Goombah With A View
Dec 20, 2006 | Comic Books/Cartoons, Toys, Video Games
...they misspelled "Goomba." Anyway, the new issue of Toyfare has come out, and as if by some psychic granting of my wishes, the newest Twisted Toyfare Theater sports a story with a theme of which I am very fond. Enjoy! Get this, plus a feature on the return of...
The Happiest of Meals
Jul 10, 2006 | Commentary, Fast Food Culture, Toys, Video Games
It started with an essay. Well, more like an "essay." Over at The Allspark, Defunct said a few words about recent McDonald's Happy Meal offerings, namely Cars and Pirates of the Caribbean. Myself, not without any lack of memories of good times(taste disputed) at...
