Action figure reviews, quick pics, Wayback Wednesdays, and shots of our collections
Last year when the Club Eternia exclusives shipped, I published one of the more popular posts on AFP – the Club Eternia – Map of Eternia Viewer. I suspect that more of you are subscribers this year, but for those of you who aren’t, here’s the map viewer for this year’s Map of Etheria.
Big thanks again to my wife, who made this possible again this year. Enjoy exploring Etheria!
What do I do now that my favorite figure of the year, Masters Of The Universe Classics Vikor (Conan!!), has already arrived? I just don’t see how anything else coming out in 2011 could top this figure. Not for me anyway. I guess I’ll have plenty of time to enjoy my new Conan… uh, Vikor!
Today we head back to 1987 to take a look at the villain from the beloved Silverhawks line, Mon-Star!
Time to put up some DC Universe Classics 16 pics! If you hadn’t heard or seen it yet, DCUC 16 is starting to hit retail stores now. I found my little set of 3 at Target last week.
Why only 3? Several reasons. For one, due to rising costs and shrinking shelf space, I need to be a bit more discriminating in my collecting and the Metal Men are getting cut, so no Mercury. When Creeper was first announced, I was excited about getting him but I don’t like how he turned out, way too skinny and gangly for my taste, so no Creeper. Golden Age Head Robin didn’t even enter the equation from the word go. The design for the C&C Bane was also not to my liking. I will be getting Azrael-Batman but he is coming from a friend in another town and I hope to find the All Star Reissue of Deathstroke or maybe Amazon will finally come through for me. I’ll do an article for both of those when I have ’em.

As a child of the 80’s, I loooved the Transformers animated movie. I hated that they killed some of my beloved G1 characters so easily in the beginning, but I did like that they introduced some new characters like Hot Rod, Arcee and of course, Kup! I loved his character and wondered where was he the whole time I was watching the TV show? I also liked that the Dinobots loved listening to his war stories, it was good to see the Dinobots respect somebody aside from Optimus!
So when I saw that Hasbro was going to release a Kup, I knew I had to get him. Heck, I don’t even have a Hot Rod (now I have to get one, the 2-pack with Cyclonus maybe…), and now I have a Kup!
Onto the pics!
