Currently on Display: November 2010

With the recent influx of DCUC figures, I decided it was time they take the main stage on the display again. Apart from reworking the main shelf, I didn't change much else, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty to gaze upon. Click ahead to see the displays!

James Cameron's Avatar, Jake Sully - Review

Today marks the release of James Cameron's Avatar Extended Collector's Edition on Blu-Ray and DVD, so I figured it was a great time to review this figure from Mattel's Movie Masters line. You may remember I reviewed Neytiri a couple of months back. Let's take a look at her boyfriend, who helped the evil RDA corporation destroy home tree and later redeemed himself, Jake Sully.

The Buzz: November Matty Sale

Here we are again. A new month, a new sale on MattyCollector.com. I skipped out on the sale last month because I couldn't bring myself to buy a screwed up figure, even if it was Roboto who I really wanted. Thankfully, no flaws have been announced with this month's releases.

I'm going after King Grayskull, Weapons Pak #2 and Peter Venkman. Hopefully, I'll get them all with just a moderate pain in the testicles.

Good luck!

WWE Entrance Greats, The Rock - Review

"Finally! The Rock has come back to Miami!"

This is the first "The Rock" figure I pick up from Mattel's WWE toy lines. The figure comes to us from the "deluxe" WWE Entrance Greats series and recreates his entrance at the 1999 Royal Rumble. Is this figure worth the price of admission or just filler until you can find WWE Legends Series 3's the Rock?

Hive News: November is here!

Hi, everybody! Just checking to let you know I'm still alive and to tell you about new stuff coming down the 'pike. It's been really busy outside of the Hive lately, so I'm trying to get back into a schedule of doing write-ups and my favorite, comics! But it hasn't been easy. Also, I've been on several toy hunts lately thanks to Kmart's recent sale on DCUC figures and a massive sale last weekend at one of South Florida's largest comic/specialty shops, Tate's, which is a good 45min drive from where I live.
