Unboxed: FanSets Harry Potter Blind Bag Pins Series 1


Matthew at NerdNewsToday and I are back with a review we have both been waiting to do. Today, we're going to be unboxing (unbagging?) the Target Exclusives Harry Potter Collectors Pins from FanSets. 

A relatively young company, FanSets has exploded in the pin markets. They have an extensive collection of pins ranging from Justice League to Firefly to Harry Potter and to the franchise that really helped them cement their spot as the go-to place for awesome pins, Star Trek. 

One of the things I love about them is their creativity. They don't just put out great products; they're really creative in their designs and execution. Like this for example. I never would have expected to see a blind bag collection for pins, but it works. It actually took me a while to find them. For weeks, every Target I went to was sold out. I got lucky. Take a look at the collection and let me know what you think.

Toy Review: Voltron: Legendary Defenders "Keith & Cannon Fire Voltron" Figures


"From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend; the legend of Voltron, Defender of the Universe..."

That's right! Matthew at NerdNewsToday and I got our hands on a few Voltron figures used off of the new show on Netflix. This review was to help me get through the long wait for new episodes.

Unboxed: Squishmallows featuring Special Guests


I don't even know how to introduce this review. Matthew at NerdNewsToday and I were sent a box of Squishmallows from Kellytoy. They are possibly the softest, squishiest plushies I've ever come across. You have to see them to believe it.

However, as quote unquote "adults," it's a little difficult to properly judge and review a product like this, so we enlisted the help of a couple of people who Squishmallows is marketed to.

Believe me, you want to see this.

Unboxed: Kawaii Squeezies


Matthew from NerdNewsToday and I are back with some adorable fun! Emzo's Kawaii Squeezies are the soft, squishy toy that's great for kids, because kids love to throw and squeeze and hit things with their toys, and this doesn't cause much damage, and fantastic for adults. Focusing on the adults for a second, these are super cute, collectible, and excellent to use as a stress reliever. How can someone stay super stressed when you have a smiling hamburger to smoosh in your hands? Check it out and decide for yourself. Then tell us which one of these you'd like to get your hands on.

DC & Marvel Comics Fidget Cubes Review

Fidget spinners and fidget cubes have swept the nation as a device to help kids keep their hands busy so their minds can focus. It's a great idea. Granted, if misused, it drives parents and teachers crazy, but it's still a solid concept. I know adults who have started using them as well. Which leads us to today. Matthew over at NerdNewsToday and I are taking a look at the Zuru DC and Marvel Comics Fidget Cubes by Antsy Labs.

Toy Review: Playmates Ben 10 "Four Arms" Action Figure


Hi-dy ho! It's time for another Playmates Ben 10 toy review. This time Matthew from NerdNewsToday and I are having fun with Four Arms. Powerful and not one to be messed with but also give great hugs, Four Arms is mostly fire and laser proof, can create shockwaves with his arms and has the ability to jump several stories in a single bound, but how does he translate to figure form?

Unboxed: Num Noms Series 4


This video review is a particular favorite of mine. Mostly because Matthew from NerdNewsToday had never really been initiated into the world of Num Noms, and I think they're adorable. I kind of wish they had been around when I was growing up, because I loved toy makeup products, and I would have collected all of these.

Unboxed: Awesome Little Green Men Series 1


Awesome Little Green Men. The name alone is intriguing. Why are they so awesome? It pulls you in. But I first heard of these and thought they were creative, but it wasn't my cup of toy tea. My nephew changed my opinion. He received several for his birthday and not only were these cooler than I had realized, but he got one of the super rares. It was pretty darn awesome. 

Matthew at NerdNewsToday knew nothing about them, so getting a chance to unbox and review them with him was fun. Especially when he found out that not only are these cool figures, but they're also a game. We haven't had a chance to play it yet. That's a video for another day, but watch on as we have fun with Major Boo-Boo, Captain Obvious, and more.

Unboxed: Titans Vinyl Star Trek: The Next Generation "Make It So" Collection



People, I am so excited to share this collaboration between Matthew at NerdNewsToday and I. It's the Star Trek: The Next Generation "Make It So" collection from Titans. You have to see it to understand why I'm so excited, but I'll give you hint: look at how great Picard looks. I can't write about how these figures look. You need to see it to believe it.

Unboxed: Titans Vinyl Star Trek The Original Series "Where No Man Has Gone Before" Collection


Alright, people, strap in. We're about to go on an adventure with the latest collection of Titans Vinyl Figures. It's the Star Trek "Where No Man Has Gone Before" set! Not only does collection make my Trekkie heart happy just by existing, but included are Yeoman Janice Rand (forgive my butchering of her title) and Nurse Christine Chapel. While they did not get as much recognition as Uhura, they are every bit as important to the fabric of the Star Trek Universe. As for the rest of the collection, watch as Matthew at NerdNewsToday and I dive in.

Toy Review: Playmates Ben 10 "XLR8" Action Figure


I need to be honest with you. I wanted to review this Ben 10 action figure from Playmates strictly because of its accessories. I wanted the cones. Matthew at NerdNewsToday and I do more thoroughly review the XLR8 figure, but for me, it was really all about the racing accessories. Watch on!

Toy Review: Playmates Ben 10 "Cannonbolt" Action Figure


This time around Matthew from NerdNewsToday and I are diving  into the world of Ben 10.

If you're not that familiar with Ben 10, it's the story of a 10 year old boy, Ben Tennyson (see what they did there?), who discovers a magical device that allows him to turn into ten different types of aliens. With the help of his family, he fights evil as those aliens.

Currently playing on the Cartoon Network, Ben 10 has been around for over a decade. This is the most recent version. Brought to us by Playmates, today, Matthew and I are going to take a look at Cannonbolt.

Toy Review: WWE Authentic Scale Ring (RAW Edition)

The latest video collaboration between me and Matthew at NerdNewsToday is one I went into with much trepidation. It's the WWE Authentic Scale Ring (RAW Edition). Why was this a little more stress inducing than usual for me? Because even though I like pro wrestling, I've been very hesitant to dive into the world of the WWE toys. I feel like once I start that path, I might not stop. And having a ring to play with? Oooooh, that's just begging to be filled with figures. But I did it and had fun putting it together. Check it out.

Funko X-Men Mystery Minis Blind Box Unboxing and Review

Happy 4th of July! It seems weirdly fitting that today's video review is of a lovable group of outsiders who just want to be able to live their lives in peace and without being horribly regulated and restricted. That's right, Matthew at NerdNewsToday and I are reviewing America!

Ok, if you've read the title (I'm assuming you have), you know that a lie. We're reviewing the Funko X-Men Mystery Minis. The X-Men are my team. They're the ones I related to the most and were my gateway into comics. These Mystery Minis are near and dear to me. Of course, this means I'm about to be subjected to some kind of roller coaster of a ride while looking at these. Was this a good ride filled with happiness or one that left me bitterly disappointed? Keep going to find out.

QMX Has Wonder Woman Riding Into My Heart!

Ok QMx, you've done it.  Now I'm desperate for this SDCC debut to happen in a place that I'm going to be!  I downright love the work on this piece.  

In case you don't know, Q-Fig's are Quantum Mechanix's answer to Funko Pops, and they suit me just fine.  I've got a number of Q-Figs on my shelf because the detail put into each piece is phenomenal, with a price point that doesn't kill my wallet.  So Wonder Woman will soon be riding right onto my shelf!

For more details, check out the press release below:

LOS ANGELES — June 28, 2017 — Soon to be storming onto store shelves and into collectors’ hearts is Quantum Mechanix’s magnificent DC Wonder Woman Q-Fig Max collectible figure created in partnership with Warner Bros.

Pictures, Tencent Pictures and Wanda Pictures, this super-sized Q-Fig will make its official sales debut at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2017.

Toy Review: Playmobil Ghostbusters Firehouse Review


And now, for the pièce de résistance of our Playmobil Ghostbusters line reviews, Matthew at NerdNewsToday and I bring you the Ghostbusters Firehouse. This was an experience. I don't know about you, but while Slimer was my favorite to review, this was what I was really waiting for. I love the Firehouse and all its inner workings. Lego came out with their version, and I'd love to get it, but I can't due to the cost. The Playmobil Firehouse, on the other hand, is much more affordable, as well as the rest of the line. You will not destroy your wallet investing in these. Anyway, on to the grand finale!



As always, if you have any thoughts or suggestions, please comment below. Until next time!

Toy Review: Playmobil Slimer Ghostbusters Playset

We are finally up to the playset I was most excited to review, featuring the ghostest with the mostest, the gooeier, most hungry, most fun spectral being - SLIMER! Now you might think it was the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man that was my favorite, but I love me some Slimer, and Matthew over at Nerd News Today definitely had to pry him out on my hands. Apparently I enjoy boogery looking ghosts. Who knew? But how's the set stack up? Find out below.

Review: Star Trek FunEdibles Series 1





I'm still a fairly new Trekkie, so I've been trying to play catch up. I've also been getting my hands on as much Star Trek merch as I can. Enter FunEdibles from USAopoly. I saw these at Star Trek Mission last year and knew I would eventually own them. Once I did, I grabbed Matthew from NerdNewsToday, and demanded we review them. Seriously. I was most adamant about it. It was great.

K'Nex Plants VS Zombies: Garden Warfare Mystery Figures Series 4 Unboxed


Plants vs. Zombies is one of those games I wish I spent more time with, but I get a little overzealous with games, so I try not to play too many of them. At least not the ones I know I can get obsessive over. PvZ is one of those games. I also really like the comics. They amuse me, so when Matthew at NerdNewsToday wanted to review the Plants VS Zombies: Garden Warfare Mystery Figures Series 4 from K'Nex, I was all in. Watch and enjoy the silly faces I make as we review them.

I don't want to give to much away, but this box gave me a bunch of feelings.
