Hellboy and Golden Army Soldier Review Part 2

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Happy Halloween!  Welcome back to the second part of my Hellboy and Golden Army Soldier review.

Today, I’m reviewing the 3.75″ Hellboy that’s exclusive to this set.  Part of the reason why I’m doing this review is that I couldn’t find any detailed reviews of the set online, so I had to order it based on the quality of Mezco’s other products.

I ordered a demon on good faith.

Hellboy and Golden Army Soldier Review Part 1

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Happy almost Halloween! Rather than do a themed holiday post, I’ve opted to do something that’s at once rare and also very common here- a figure review!

You could say that most of my toy related posts are reviews, as they point out pros and cons, trying to swindle your wallet into feeding more of its delicious insides to the HasTak machine, but this one’s completely a review.

I’m doing it in part because it’s Halloween and the subject is appropriate  to the festive mood,  and partly because I have been unable to find reviews of this particular pair of figures on the internet.

Hellboy and Golden Army Solder was an exclusive set, but details were hard to come by.  Most places even incorrectly say the number of joints on the Golden Army Soldier. Still, Mezco’s website had a good deal on them (and still does), and if there was a set I was going to get it’d be this one, but I had to make my decision based on the quality of their other products.

October

October often makes me think of this. I wrote it a few years ago, and it’s especially appropriate as it’s near the end of the month. I still enjoy it, so I thought I’d do a post for it. (more…)

ROTF G1 Mixmaster – Head Fix

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Currently a TRU exclusive, the Backroad Brawl two pack features two repaints full of geewunny goodness. Hoist practically sells the set himself, being more of a Classics Hoist than a ROTF Hoist, but Mixmaster…

Well, some people were excited about him, until they saw the newly remolded head and its paint scheme.

Dehumanizing Alliance Skids, Part 6

Monday, October 19th, 2009

So far we’ve taken Human Alliance Skids and fixed his back kibble, fixed the kibble on his right arm, and added a cannon to his left arm. Personally, I would’ve left it there, but the amount of people searching for HA Skids Door Fix or Human Alliance Door Mod is pretty decent, and I’ve had a few people ask me if I was going to fix the wings.

I happen to really like the look of the door wings, even if it’s not movie accurate.

However, I went ahead and modded my HA Skids to have fold away doors. It’s still pretty easy to do, and I’ve got step by step instructions with plenty of pictures. So continue reading for the last step in this Human Alliance Skids Mod Fix guide!

Dehumanizing Alliance Skids, Part 5

Friday, October 16th, 2009

So yesterday’s post was easy… Just a couple of cuts and suddenly you’ve got a better looking right arm on your HA Skids. Today’s step is a little more involved, and may take a few hours to complete, but most of that is waiting!

You’ll see soon enough.

Dehumanizing Alliance Skids, Part 4

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Today’s next step in my Human Alliance Skids Mod Fix Guide is quick and easy, but here’s where some of you may choose not to do a step.

I think the previous step improves HA Skids so much, that fixing his backpack kibble is pretty much a necessity for a badass Skids. But if you didn’t like his decreased Human Alliance functionality, you’re really not going to like today’s step.
