I've always been a huge fan of Nightmare Before Christmas, so when I saw the series 1 trading figures from Jun Planning in the Halloween aisle at Target, I knew it was time to pick them up. Best part - no blind boxing! Jeff is in tonight with a great guest review of the Triad Toys Gunn 4 Hire Tyrus figure. You can find all the reviews at the usual: www.mwctoys.comThanks for reading, and have a great weekend! Michael MWC

There have been a lot of good movies this year, and I've got several favorites. But I have to say that while it might not be the technically best movie I've seen all year, Kick Ass is certainly my favorite. I've been waiting for the Mezco figures for what seems like forever, but they're finally out. I'm checking out the 6" versions tonight, and I'll hit up the 12" figures soon.

When I reviewed the deluxe Tron Flynn last week, I mentioned then that I'd be covering the smaller figures soon. Soon is tonight, as I check out the small Sam Flynn and CLU. I like these better than the deluxe figures, although there's still a couple issues. Jeff Parker is doing a feature tonight on several of the currently available Hot Toys TrueType bodies.

Pfff. I saw that guy from Bif Bang Pow commenting on your Tron review.
I think he was the one taking things a bit too seriously.
The reviews you do are the kinda reviews people expect nowadays. Sections on paint & articulation (I can see why someone from BifBangPow would hate that!!).
Anyway, ignor him. You do an awesome job.

For fans of classic Disney animation, Sideshow's Premium Format statue of one of their greatest villains, Maleficent the evil fairy from Sleeping Beauty, is sure to be welcome. The regular portrait had a couple issues for me, but the exclusive version rocks. You can find all the reviews at the usual: www.mwctoys.comThanks for reading! Michael MWC

Last week I checked out the smaller Kick-Ass figures, and tonight I'm upsizing things with a look at the 1/6th scale figures of Hit-Girl and Kick-Ass. While these have a few issues, they are an improvement in several ways over the smaller versions.
I also have a guest review from Jeff Parker up tonight, and he's looking at the newest Toy Story cosbaby figures, both large and small, from Hot Toys.

I also have a guest review from Jeff Parker up, and he's covering the Hot Toys Blade Trinity Abigail Whistler figure. You can find all the reviews at the usual: www.mwctoys.comThanks for reading!

It's another statue tonight, but this time it's DC Direct doing the honors with their Batman Black and White Man-Bat! I wasn't too sure about doing the Rogue's Gallery in this style, but now that we've gotten a few I have to say I'm quite pleased. Man-Bat is the best of these non-Bats statues so far, although he does have some paint issues. You can find all the reviews at the usual: www.mwctoys.comThanks for reading! Michael MWC

I still haven't watched Predators - yea, I bought the blu-ray but haven't had time - and yet my first Hot Toys action figure from the movie is here. It's Royce, and he's outstanding. Well, except for one issue that kills it for me, but it's a variable (i.e. manufacturing) problem that hopefully you won't have. You'll find the review at the usual: www.mwctoys.comAnd yes, I'll be watching it before one of the Predators shows up! Thanks for reading, Michael MWC

MWC hasn't posted for a while, but I linked to part of his SDCC toy coverage today, so here's the whole thing.
