It isn't often that I do a YouTube video, but I did a YouTube video, where I look at a reproduction of the 1970s Japanese Godzilla figure. The original version of this toy actually appeared onscreen in Godzilla vs Hedorah (the Smog Monster). https://youtu.be/PNwzk9emauE
READER BEWARE, YOU'RE IN FOR A SCARE... I don't think I knew anyone at my school who wasn't obsessed with Goosebumps at some point. Even kids who weren't into reading still read R.L. Stine's popular horror novel series. I remember going on holiday was always exciting, as there was a little bookshop in Porthmadog, and …

Before Sega had become a serious competitor to Nintendo in the early '90s with the release of the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) console and popular mascot Sonic the Hedgehog, it was known for its success within video game arcades worldwide.

I've documented my love of Hasbro's Heroes line before- Star Wars Galactic Heroes, Indiana Jones Adventure Heroes, and Marvel's Superhero Squad. They're essentially cutesey, chunky, wee action figures which are intended for younger fans of each franchise. Each line was released in the late 2000s, but the Star Wars Galactic Heroes line is still …

So Halloween has been and gone, and I was hoping that some action figures based on nasty bastards from various horror movies that I had pre-ordered months back would show in time for me to give them the attention they deserve on here at Halloween. Typically, there were delays and the figures weren't released until …
It's no secret that I harbor a lot of love for spooky colourful toys from the '90s, especially Monster in my Pocket, Boglins and Pocket Shockers, but there are apparently toylines from that era that completely past me by, probably because I quickly succumbed to a heavy Pokemon addiction in 1998. I had never heard …

Do you know what would be completely shitty? if you were having a lovely day out in the Arklay Mountains on the outskirts of Raccoon city and you ended up getting chewed on by a wandering zombie, which would probably result in you contracting the T-Virus, guaranteeing a slow and painful death as well as …

I never really had any experience with Mega Bloks until they released a whole bunch of Halo sets a few years back to tie into the Halo Wars game. Being a bit of a Halo fanboy, I spent an absolute fortune on the line until I got sick of the lack of space that all …
