Needless Things Podcast Episode 7: San Diego Comic Con 2013
Surprise! It’s time for another Needless Things Podcast! I hadn’t expected to be doing another one quite so soon, but when my co-host Mr. Beau Brown wants to talk Masters of the Universe, I have learned it is best to get on the ball and make things happen. And there

Needless Things Episode 4: Toy Panel Live from TimeGate 2013
Last weekend I was fortunate enough to run a toy panel at my personal favorite sci-fi convention – TimeGate. It’s focused around Stargate and Doctor Who, but this year the emphasis was definitely on Doctor Who. Between the 50th Anniversary and the presence of an actual Doctor – Colin Baker

Needless Things Podcast Episode 2: New York International Toy Fair 2013
I suppose every one of these podcasts is going to include a certain amount of drama and stress. If I could just record them and then shoot them out of my computer and directly into your brains I would be extremely happy. As I stated last time, I have no

Toy Review – Back to the Future Part II: DeLorean Time Machine By Diamond Select Toys
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

Toy Review – Star Trek: USS Enterprise Retro Playset By Diamond Select Toys
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

Toy Review – Doctor Who: The 11th Doctor’s TARDIS By Underground Toys
This is the second TARDIS playset that Underground has produced, and only the third ever made (though we now have a Junk TARDIS from “The Doctor’s Wife”, an 8-inch scale vinyl playset, and a LEGO-style version). That’s kind of insane when you think about the fact that Doctor Who has

Toy Review – Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Alfred Pennyworth By Mattel
On the one hand it is ridiculous that it has taken this long for Mattel to get around to making an action figure of the second-most-important living character in the Batman mythos. On the other hand, Mattel just released a figure of a frigging butler. Looking at it from that

Toy Review – Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Bane By Mattel
Oh, Bane, you cinematic enigma. Are you from the Caribbean? Is your mask keeping you alive? Will you use Venom at all? What’s up with that jacket that makes you look like Tom Selleck from Quincy Down Under? Or do I mean Steven Segal from On Deadly Ground? Holy cow
