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. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Entertainment. Based on the iconic DC Super Hero from this summer’s blockbuster action adventure Wonder Woman, from 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. The DC Wonder Woman Q-Fig Max from Quantum Mechanix (QMx) is a fierce and fun incarnation of the powerful Amazonian warrior whose mission is to fight injustice and restore peace. Steely eyed and fully armed, this Wonder Woman rides her ebony steed clad in her trademark red-and-blue gear, and sporting her bullet-deflecting gauntlets and gleaming headband. Wielding a sword and golden Lasso of Hestia, she is ready for any battle that lies ahead. Wonder Woman’s trusty horse features a saddle, stirrups, bridle and flexible reins. The Wonder Woman Q-Fig Max figure measures 5 inches tall, features metallic paint and hand detailing, and is priced at $29.95. The figure will ship starting in late July, ahead of many additional DC-branded products QMx will be releasing in 2017. The eagerly awaited collectible figure can be seen on the Quantum Mechanix Inc.

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.
