Battleship Movie Review

 

Battleship is a clean miss that borrows too much and inspires too little.

Review: Red Ninja (GI Joe: Retaliation)

Most of us who enjoy little plastic men (especially GI Joe) loves a good ninja.  From the terrible (when I say terrible, I mean AWESOME!) Ninja movies of the 80s to Lego's Ninjago, ninja's have been populating our pop culture and our children's imaginations for decades.  And GI Joe: Retaliation seems to be banking on our love of those brightly colored stealthy (wait what?) assassin heroes...  after all, isn't a ninja's most notorious job assassination?  That's a little harsh for being a hero, or is it?!

Digital River FTW?!?

Are the winds of change blowing over the Digital River Styx? I have to admit, yesterday's sale was about the easiest I've had to date. I logged on, got my Stinkor and Snake Mountain stands, and I only hit the white screen of death once, and it was for 10 seconds or less. As if that wasn't shocking enough, I got my shipping notice this morning, less than 24 hours after ordering! I'm a firm believer that if you're going to complain about bad service, you should also give kudos for good service. While I'm impressed, I am (understandably) weary, given all the past issues. Perhaps this was just a remarkably unpopular month. I won't be convinced until my correct order shows up in good shape and in a timely fashion. But for now, job well done Digital River. Let's hope this is the start of something good, and not simply a fluke.

Review: Luke Skywalker (Hoth Outfit) : TVC 95

To those that know me, it might seem strange that I have been reviewing Star Wars figures yet alone buying them.  I do love Star Wars, really I do.  It will always have that soft spot living in my heart for Jedi and HOTH!  I love Hoth stuff.  Always have.  So Luke here is a perfect addition to my slowly growing Hoth stuff.  I don't have anywhere to show it off, but I do have a couple of AT-AT's that I would love to display some day.  And Luke, dear Luke.  You ride a Taun Taun so well...

Marvel Universe Avengers Light-Up Base Wave 2 - Black Panther

Of all the figure choices in the Toys R Us light-up base series, this one is the most out of left field, since it's basically the only character from this entire exclusive series not appearing in the Avengers movie.  But it’s a welcome choice.  Finally, a respectable Black Panther in the Marvel Universe line.

Marvel Universe Avengers Light-Up Base Wave 2 - Captain America (Rogers)

We got the Bucky Cap figure in the first wave of light-up bases, so it only makes sense that we also get the classic Steve Rogers Captain America.  And finally, Hasbro get’s the classic MU Cap right!
