Action figure reviews, quick pics, Wayback Wednesdays, and shots of our collections
Everybody’s got a price. That’s something that the Million Dollar Man, Ted Dibiase, used to say during his promos, and in this case, my price was $24 and change for Mattel’s WWE Entrance Greats figure. Dibiase is one of my all-time favorite heels from the WWE, so when I saw his lone figure surrounded by Triple H and Shawn Michaels Entrance Greats, I had to pick him up.

Fwoosher moldie13 is back with a review of the recently released Hot Toys Whiplash from Iron Man 2. He previously reviewed the 3A Toys WWRp Armstrong 8-pack, making me wish I had the desert close by for some outdoor shots.
Big thanks to moldie for these pics and detailed review!
Over the past few years it’s been difficult to ignore the pull of the old twelve-inch scale market. As popular franchises get better and more detailed treatment, the collective bank accounts of action figure fiends across the globe groan under the weight of the threat.
With its Iron Man 2 license, Hot Toys upped the ante with their Mark IV design and War Machine. They’re great, surely enough, but not my speed.
Enter Whiplash, the gruesome marvel incarnation of that slab of wreckage that is Mickey Rourke.
The new Wal-Mart exclusive Iron Man 2 Mark IV seems to be hitting pretty good now – well, except for my town… Luckily, my good buddy, Xavion2004 from over at the Fwoosh, found one for me in his town! So I thought I’d write a little follow up to Talyn’s Quick Pics of the Mark IV and snapped a boatload of pics.
I first heard of the Glyos System like many others may have, through their addition to the Four Horsemen Outer Space Men figures. What the Glyos System (pronouned “gl-EYE-os”) is about is a simple system of interchangeable joints, basically small pegs that are easily removable, but also stay on tight for articulation and posing. In a word, AWESOME.
Fwoosher moldie13 has become known on the boards for his shovel, adventures in the desert, and 3A toys. So I asked him if he would combine these for a photo shoot of the WWRp 8-pack of Armstrongs, which have been reaching those lucky folks who pre-ordered a while back. I’m not going to ask about the lack of shovel.
Big thanks to moldie for these awesome shots and detailed review!
