Inspired by my work with Director Faber, Mike, Bobby, and the multitude of fascinating personalities that are part of the Earth Station One network; I finally had to do it. I made my own podcast.
Dragon*Con 2012 is here and the ESO Network is ready! Meet your favorite ESO Network podcasters at Dragon*Con this weekend. Personalities from Earth Station One, Earth Station Who, Doctor Geek’s Laboratory, Transmissions From Atlantis, and ESO’s Dragon*KHAN Report, along with assorted Friends of the Station will be on hand for
Dragon*Con starts this Thursday (or Wednesday according to some), so let’s kick off the week with a review of a dragon! Er, a dragon dude. Dude dragon. Whatever. It’s been a while since I’ve said this, but I had no intention of buying Draego-Man. Don’t get me wrong – he
For the most part I avoid Marvel Select figures. They’re too big, they have weird articulation, and often they don’t even look very good. Why are they so big, anyway? Who at Diamond Select Toys decided they wanted to make a line of figures that was not compatible with any
I hate to start this review on a negative note, but there’s no getting around the false representation involved in this toy. The box proclaims it to be the time machine from Back to the Future Part II. It is not. If it were, the tires would fold down for
There has been a fairly massive resurgence of Mego-style action figures over the last several years. We have gotten Real Ghostbusters, Venture Bros., Universal Monsters, and even Doctor Who! I have a fondness for the 8″, clothed figures because the Megos were some of the first toys I had when
So Shredder, Skeletor, and Cobra Commander walk into a bar. They all go, “Ouch,” because their stupid minions failed to move the bar like they were told. I guess that probably wasn’t even funny, but it was in me and I had to let it out. If somebody else can
I think Shredder’s minions might be the most consistent out of all the Ninja Turtles characters. They’re bug-eyed ninjas. Always. Yeah, the Turtles are always green guys with headbands, but they have varied a lot in size, shape, color, and ocular detailing. Shredder is always a guy with blades stuck
I first saw this figure displayed along with the rest of the new TMNT toys back in February at Toy Fair. I was glad to see that Krang was still around, but this time in a more streamlined robot exoskeleton that was much more reminiscent of the TGRI aliens from
I’ve mentioned it before, but in case you haven’t read every single article on my home site, Needless Things like you so totally should, City of Death is my favorite Doctor Who story. It stars Tom Baker – who will always be My Doctor – and Lalla Ward as Romana
Just like Muppets On Ice or Mariah Carey, you can now see the Earth Station Who team live and in-person doing what we do best!
The Weeping Angels have become a signature of the new Doctor Who. They’ve got t-shirts, books, toys and have featured in several stories. They may not be Daleks, but people love them. Naturally, Character Options has latched on to this and produced somewhere around five variations of the creatures with
