Nemesis Artifact vinyl toy from Unbox Industries

Over the last couple of months I’ve been taking a look at a selection of statues and action figures that I’ve purchased recently. But before I return to looking at comics I have one more one toy to look at: this week it’s the turn of Unbox Industries Nemesis the Warlock vinyl figure, designed by Pete Fowler.

REVIEWED: Aquaman statue by Diamond Select Toys

Over the last few months I’ve been reviewing some of Diamond Select Toys range of affordable PVC statues of classic comic book superheroes. This week I’m going to take a closer look at the first DC statue I’ve purchased from this range: Aquaman.

Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) and Dalek’s Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966) movie posters

I’ve been in a nostalgic Doctor Who mood recently so I spent last weekend rewatching the two movie adaptions of the long-running BBC science fiction series: Dr. Who and the Daleks, from 1965, and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D, from 1966. As a result I’m in the mood to highlight some of the movie posters used to promote the film.

REVIEWED: Spider-Man statue by Diamond Select Toys

Over the last couple of years Diamond Select Toys have released an impressive range of attractive — and affordable — PVC statues featuring some of Marvel Comics’ most popular super-heroes. And this statue of The Amazing Spider-Man is no exception.

Escape from New York, movie posters (1981)

I’m in the mood to post some pretty pictures, and since I’ve just finished watching Studio Canal’s new restoration of Escape from New York, taking a closer look at some of the promotional posters from John Carpenter’s classic film seems like a damn fine idea.

REVIEWED: The Incredible Hulk Statue (Diamond Select Toys)

I recently had a bit of a clear out in my home office, rearranging some shelves and generally having a tidy up. As a result I’ve managed to clear some shelf space, which can mean only one thing: I now have space for some more comic book statues! The first new addition to my collection is this rather impressive statue featuring Marvel Comics green behemoth, The Incredible Hulk.

Abe Sapien Kit by Mega Construx

Last week I took a look at a Mega Blok’s Hellboy construction kit, so it seems only fair to take a closer look at the other Hellboy character in the range: Abe Sapien.

Hellboy Kit by Mega Bloks

I’m a big fan of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy comic book, so when I saw this block construction kit from Mega Bloks featuring the iconic character I couldn’t resist snapping it up.
