This is the latest in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of blog posts memorializing cancelled toys. Our figure today is ToyBiz's "Fat Bat." This character, designed in 1995 by Marvel mainstay Ron Lim, would likely have been part … Continue reading →

Gremlins Countdown Calendar review - Day 29

Posted on October 29, 2021 by yo go re

Day 29 has another really wide flap - this had better not be another damn bag of slime. Godammit, it's another bag of slime. With a second Skeleton Gremlin. Official pictures make the combo look pretty cool, but it's a … Continue reading →

Gremlins Countdown Calendar review - Day 28

Posted on October 28, 2021 by yo go re

Two days in a row with a brown Gremmy, but this one is wearing popcorn bags on his ears. That must be something from the movie, because NECA's Ultimate Gremlin could do the same thing. Even if that release suggests … Continue reading →

Gremlins Countdown Calendar review - Day 27

Posted on October 27, 2021 by yo go re

Another plain brown Gremlin. Guess there's no shame in taking things a little easy at this late stage in the game. We do wish the Gremlins were taller - if the mogwais can be in a rough 6"-7" scale, it's … Continue reading →

Gremlins Countdown Calendar review - Day 26

Posted on October 26, 2021 by yo go re

Okay, definitely wasn't expecting this: it's a second Stripe mogwai, last seen back on Day 3. Why's he back on Day 26, with a new sculpt, featuring different hair? At first it seems pointless, until you notice he's holding something … Continue reading →

Transformers BotBots Rusty Von Cleave review

Posted on October 26, 2021 by yo go re

Introduced in Series 4, the Wilderness Troop never got a store in the Transformers BotBots mall to call their own. We can assume it was a Bass Pro Shops or something, but Hasbro stopped including any art with the figures, … Continue reading →

Well, we've just crossed a threshold! Regular Advent calendars run from December 1st to the 24th, meaning yesterday would have been the last day. And yet, here we are on the 25th, with a figure that's still thematically appropriate: Santa … Continue reading →
