Action Figure Barbecue: Thursday Weekly Review Update

By
Hey everyone!

As I've already mentioned in my introductory post and on the podcast, I really like to do action figure and toy reviews on Amazon.com so check out all of my reviews there. If you're curious, here are a few reasons why I like to put my reviews on Amazon:

1. Amazon is a huge site that has millions of people checking it out. It ensures that reviews have a chance to get read by both collectors and parents looking for good toys for their kids.
2. Amazon is an online marketplace where people can actually purchase the product they are reading reviews of at any given time. I like the idea of educating buyers before they make a purchase.
3. While it has some flaws, Amazon does have a decent feedback and commenting system for reviewers. I can check everyday how many people have left comments on reviews or found my reviews helpful.

This week I've reviewed:

Ivan Drago (pre-fight) from "Rocky" by NECA     (5 out of 5 stars)- Confirmed EPIC!!

     Neca's Rocky line was one of my favorite action figure lines of 2012. Beautiful sculpting and excellent, well thought out articulation really made these figures come alive. It's like having a mini Dolph Lundgren on your shelf!
He must break your toys

Dog Pound from "TMNT" by Playmates Toys  (4 out of 5 stars)

   Despite being a little weak in articulation and having some paint issues, Dog Pound is still a fun, massive mutant for your TMNT collection. 
Who let Dog Pound out?
As always, I'll be working on more throughout the next week so keep checking my Amazon review page and ThEpicReview blogspot for more action figure reviews!  If you like my reviews, feel free to leave me some good feedback or comments as well!-Jerry Reed lead contributor

Action Figure Review: Castle Grayskull from Masters of the Universe Classics by Mattel

     As Skeletor said in the 1987 film Masters of the Universe , "Everything comes to he who waits, and I have waited so very long for this moment." Yes, after one year of preorders, waiting, concepts and preproduction pieces, constant changes, small victories, crushing defeats, and sheer anticipation, Castle Grayskull has finally arrived to my home. Earlier this afternoon my wife texted me a picture of the enormous box sitting in our kitchen and I've been jazzed ever since. Heck, I've been singing the Castle Grayskull song all week now to help myself pass the time. Before I even open the box, I have to say that while there have been plenty of ups and downs on the journey from having Castle Grayskull exist simply as a sketch on paper to existing as an actual product delivered to my door, I think there are some folks that need to be commended. First, regardless of all other issues I don't think anyone can say that Scott Neitlich ("ToyGuru") and the Fo

The Night He Came Home Again! - A 'Halloween 2018' Review

By

When we first learned that Director: David Gordon Green would be talking over the iconic Halloween franchise, my thoughts could best be described as skeptical at best.  How was the guy that brought us Pineapple Express going to bring Michael Myers home again? Also where did Danny McrBride fit it in? Would Blumhouse and Green do the un-thinkable by allowing McBride to dawn the mask, and having the world famous physical comedian wield who knows what as his weapon of choice? Find out the answer to these, and many other questions after the break in our Halloween review....
