September 4, 2009

In recent years some of the very best action figure likenesses have been of martial arts icon Bruce Lee, with particular praise inevitably going to Japanese toy makers Enterbay who have seriously raised the stakes, turning their action figures into real works of art. Following in the footsteps of their Enter the Dragon, Fist of Fury, The Way of the Dragon and Game of Death figures, they've now issued another startlingly good Bruce Lee 1/6 scale action figure, this time in the role of Kato … [Read more...]

Beetlejuice Red Wedding Tuxedo 7 inch action figure

August 3, 2009

When the comedy horror fantasy film Beetlejuice was first released in 1988, it was immediately clear that the relatively new director Tim Burton was a man to watch. In fact, he has since become one of the most exciting figures working in cinema today, and that  early movie  Beetlejuice, is now considered a cult classic.

Justice Society of America designed by Alex Ross

June 12, 2009

The Justice Society of America, or JSA, the  superhero group created by All-American Comics ( later DC Comics) has the distinction of being the very first team of superheroes in comic book history. Emerging during what is now thought of as the Golden Age of comic books, the group first appeared in issue 3 of All Star Comics (Winter 1940) and featured lesser known characters - in fact, it was designed rather as a springboard to launch the heroes who would later go on to have their own comic … [Read more...]

The Thing, however, remains one of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee's enduringly popular creations. In the recent Hollywood version of … [Read more...]
