While there are at least six more Force Friday reviews waiting to be done, I thought that today I would take a look at a figure that has been waiting for his day in the sun for quite sometime now. Topside was one of figures in the first GI Joe FSS, and one of only two that I actually got. So without making the poor dude wait any longer let’s take a look at Topside.
IAT has moved to a bi weekly Review Roundup, I actually didn’t get last times posted with all that was going on so my apologies. Read on for all of the begining of May’s reviews. Continue reading
This past Saturday I attended the Monster Kolor Pin Striping Class, and let me tell you it was a wonderful day. I learned a lot about painting, and it was great to watch Matt Walker (the genius behind Monster Kolor and Master Painter) work his magic with a brush. Read on to get the full lowdown on the class and see a ton of pictures of the amazing toys littered around the studio, there is over 80 pics (I’m the one who isn’t in any of them)!
I’ve got to be honest, when I was a kid I didn’t appreciate the awesomeness of Jitsu. He seemed more boring to me at the time when compared to crazy characters like a skunk man or giant lobster. These days I can see the man with the golden karate chop for the bad mother that he really is. He’s like the guy at the party who you don’t even notice. While you are chatting it up with the man covered in spikes or the six foot tall flying monkey, Jitsu is in the corner plotting your death. He’s got a fast getaway too because his awesome robot horse is outside waiting to get him out of there. Continue reading

Rounding out the Coverage of Wave 1 of ROTU is the only Hero in the line so far. I’m not usually one for good guys, but Herc here really surprised me with his awesomeness. This figure has some really neat features, so without further delay let’s take a look at Hercules.
There was a time in the 80′s when holograms were a big deal. You could get stickers, shirts, lunchboxes and even action figures with holograms. There are two big toylines from that era that heavily featured holograms, Visionaries and Super Naturals. The latter is my favorite of the two. Continue reading

The other day Dr Rampageo asked me if I could do this week’s Force Friday review. I didn’t have to think twice before agreeing but I did have to think about what the heck I was going to review. I’m not going to claim to have the World’s Largest Star Wars Collection but Star Wars does take up a sizeable amount of what I do own. After changing my mind several times I decided on my Infinities Return of the Jedi Darth Vader. So here we go with my first foray into Force Friday.
