Yesterday it was announced that the Godzilla vs Kong movie will be coming out in March. I'm not overly excited about this information, mainly because it is supposed to be being shown on a HBO channel which doesn't exist here in the UK, and if I'm not going to get to see it in the …

SEGA & Tyco Pocket Power Glo-Bones Skeleton Action Figure, from 1988!
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. Whilst few could deny Sega's contributions to video gaming, it was less known for its …

Random Action Figures! Masters of the Universe Rio Blast from 1986!
So, what do you get if you cross a bloke that looks a bit like Bjorn from Abba with the Terminator and a Wild West/Lone Ranger type character? One of my favourite figures in the Masters of the Universe line! Rio Blast! I first encountered Rio Blast when I bought a box …

Robocop 1993 Action Figure! Fallacious or a Knock-off?!
I picked up this Robocop figure recently for about a fiver. I'd never owned a Robocop product before, but I enjoyed the first movie, and adored Robocop Versus Terminator for the SEGA Mega Drive, so I thought it looked about the right scale to pose next to my Kenner Terminator figure. The figure looks inoffensive …

Resident Evil 2 Leon Kennedy and Licker figures from Toy Biz, 1998!
I've always preferred '80s action figures over offerings from the '90s, mainly because they were the toys I have fond memories of. Whereas a Street Sharks or POTF2 Star Wars figure would set me back about £5 to £10 from a store, I could easily pick up a whole bunch of He-man or Vintage Star …

Modern Star Wars Figures that are Weird but not Terrible!
My girlfriend always insists we call at the Disney Store whenever we're visiting a city that has one, in the hope that she'll find a Nightmare Before Christmas or Alice in Wonderland plush that she doesn't own. I don't mind at all, although I don't get overly excited by plush toys (with a few exceptions), …

More Stupid Star Wars Figures! ‘Deluxe’ Han Solo with Smuggler Flight Pack from 1996!
I've neglected this site a little bit of late, and the reason for that is I am currently contributing to an upcoming gaming magazine called Fusion. If anyone would like to pre-order the first issue, you can do so here. You should because it's radical, and not many things are radical these days, apart from …
Funko Game of Thrones 3-3/4″ Action Figures and “The Wall” Display Set!
The idea of Game of Thrones figures in a 3-3/4" scale sounds a pretty good one. An array of figures based on characters from all over the world of Game of Thrones, complete with their various iconic accessories. Daenerys with her dragon eggs, Arya Stark with her sword needle, there were so many possibilities for …

Funko Savage World Mortal Kombat MOTU Style Figures! Scorpion and Sub-Zero!
I was a Street Fighter II loyalist as a kid. No other arcade fighting game could possibly interest me until one day I watched a kid playing a game in an arcade that was called Mortal Kombat. It looked much gorier than Street Fighter II and it seemed to play a lot faster as well, …

Mattel’s Masters of the Universe! The Original Wave of Figures from 1982!
The good thing about being a '90s kid was that there was always an abundance of discarded '80s toys lying around in cardboard boxes at car boot sales and antique fairs when I was growing up. Awesome stuff that was just begging to be discovered, usually at a very reasonable price. After recently watching …
