Runed
Jeff Saylor of Figures.com has written in to clarify that the release date for the new Rune figures will be spring/summer 2003, not "early" 2003 as previously reported. He writes, "[because] their whole company is so new, the dock strikes, … Continue reading

Mattel REALLY comes through
Trap Jaw and Tri-Klops are officially out. Looks like Mattel's trying to make up for the limited figures fiasco of last summer. Here's hoping we can find these figures in reasonable numbers. And now, some more OAFEry:Keldor addendum Lou Scheimer: … Continue reading
Grab your most loyal carles and let's head to the skalli!
Viking action figures (such as the recent Spawn: the Viking Age line) have always had a special place in my heart. In school I was more or less a medievalist, and wrote my thesis on Beowulf. So I've been looking … Continue reading

Mattel comes through
It was just last week that I discussed how Mattel's distribution of the new Masters of the Universe line was plagued by delays and rampant shortpacking of secondary characters. Well, while the shortpacking may still be a problem, it looks … Continue reading

A Tale of Two Towers
I came across my first TTT figures today - a Gondorian Ranger and an Easterling at Sam Goody. I have to say I was not impressed. The Gondorian Ranger is a fairly boring figure, and I never had any interest … Continue reading
Up in Smoke
After a brief separation, my new Masters of the Universe figures have now rejoined me from across the continent. Their trip was not without peril, however; in the morning just before she shipped the box, my mother put it down … Continue reading
Good-bye, Halloween
My Halloween has passed with relatively little fanfare, as predicted. Next year I'm going whole hog: Saran-wrapped axe-wielding berserker is what it's all about! With the end of Halloween comes the end of Halloween decorations. The Great Pumpkin figures and … Continue reading
