Action figure reviews, quick pics, Wayback Wednesdays, and shots of our collections
More light-up goodness from the Spin Master Tron line!
Target has been marking down the Tron stuff as of late, so I finally picked up the Light Runner. Unlike the Light Cycle, this vehicle does not have sound features, however, its size more than makes up for that lack.
“Airlandia! A distant land where air is more precious than gold! Where the cruel Tyrants of Wind have seized control of ALL THE AIR. Only the Air Raiders, a band of valiant rebels, dare defy these evil dictators! With a convoy of air vehicles, these brave heroes battle the Tyrants, struggling to restore the breath of freedom. “
Ron’s note – no, you’re not seeing double. We loved the Noir de Plume so much, we had to have two reviews for it.

Right on the heels of his Red Under the Bed review, guest reviewer moldie13 is back – this time with a review of the Noir de Plume from the World War Robot portable line from threeA Toys. His previous AFP reviews include the WWR Heavy Bramble MK 2.5 Gravedigger and the WWRp Armstrongs.
The threeA deliveries have been insane as of late – it seems like every week since Christmas has been Christmas all over again. A little bit of threeA history – it takes quite a bit of time from the point at which toy orders are placed to the time toys are recieved, as threeA tends to make quantities to order. It’s a challenge for us collectors eager to have these things in our twitchy little obsessive compulsive hands. As I mentioned in the “Red Under the Bed” review, we’re talking nearly a year from the time the order was placed to the time the orders were finally in-hand, though that was a pretty severe case. It’s an issue threeA admits to and is trying to correct – though, admirably, they refuse to compromise quality for quickness. And unlike other small toy companies, they do actually deliver on their promises, and aside from personal nit-picks in regards to certain articulation elements, I have yet to be fully disappointed in an order.
About a week ago, I opened my door to find a small, relatively thin package shoved under my doormat. I hadn’t expected it, but I knew what it was instantly – the WWRp (World War Robot “portable”) Noir de Plume.
I was in Kmart a few days ago hunting some Mattel WWE Elite wrestling figures to use for customs and had the good fortune to find WWE Legends Series 4. Knowing these wouldn’t sit long, I picked up a couple Ultimate Warriors (one for Ron), the Demolition team – Ax & Smash (also for Ron) and Mr. Wonderful – Paul Orndorff. Once I got ’em home, I figured I ought to share some pics with y’all before I mailed Ron his figures and commenced to kitbashing on mine.
