TMNT Series 1


NECA TMNT LeonardoNECA’s new TMNT line is here, and boy are they spectacular! This line focuses on delivering comic-accurate versions of the Turtles from the original Mirage comic book, which isn’t something that’s been done in action figure form before. This new series is a bold jump for NECA - who is traditionally known for delivering exquisitely detailed, but pretty much static action figures. The TMNT line is going to change that reputation. These guys are as superarticulated as they come! The first series consists of the four basic turtles - Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello. Expand the post for pics and reviews! (more…)

Battlestar Galactica Series 1


battlestar galactica series 1 from diamond select toysIn my opinion, Battlestar Galactica is pretty much the greatest TV drama of all time. So, when I saw that Diamond Select Toys was putting out highly-articulated, highly-detailed action figures from the show, there’s no way I could have resisted! The first series features seven figures in all, but three of those are exclusives (you can see my review of those here). The four main figures from the first series are Lee “Apollo” Adama in flight gear, Brendan “Hot Dog” Costanza, Caprica Six, and regular “only in Baltar’s head” Six.

Battlestar Galactica Series 1 (Exclusives)


battlestar galactica series 1 from diamond select toysI recently got hooked on the Sci-Fi TV drama “Battlestar Galactica” and I was excited to find out that Diamond Select Toys was putting out the figures. But, until recently, I didn’t realize that DST’s BSG figs are superarticulated! Needless to say, I ran out and placed an order online. The first series features seven figures total - four standard and three online exclusives. I lucked up and got all three exclusives in a set from BBTS, so they’re getting reviewed first. I’ll have the standard figures posted as soon as they arrive from CSC (hurray for online shopping!). So expand the post to see my thoughts on Helo, Sam Anders, and Chief Tyrol. (more…)
