Read More“I’m Batman.” Few lines in superhero cinema hit harder than Michael Keaton’s growling introduction in Tim Burton’s Batman from 1989. Now, Mezco is bringing that unforgettable rooftop moment to life with the new 5 Points Batman (1989): “I’m Batman” Boxed Set. This collector-focused release recreates one of the most iconic scenes from the film, as Batman holds a terrified criminal over the edge of a Gotham City rooftop and lets the underworld know exactly who they are dealing with. It is the moment that helped define the Dark Knight for…
Read MoreBy: R.A. Rayne Did Supergirl ever stand a chance, or was she grounded before the film ever hit the theaters? For the past month, it’s hard to open a social media feed without seeing a post about Supergirl and its star, Milly Allcock. Articles have been written about her looks, talent, and star power, mostly negative, which is interesting given how much acclaim she received for her cameo in last year’s James Gunn Superman film. I, for one, think Milly Allcock was a perfect choice for the Supergirl film, especially…

Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios There are varying opinions on the Netflix hit Stranger Things and all five of its seasons. The ending, some plot holes, and things like that have caught some strays, and some of them are justifiably so. But there is a lot to be loved, especially the bond my twin daughters and I have over it. They are my only two kids, and they are getting so old, so fast. Any parent gets that statement. They are born, you blink, and they are five…
Read MoreMy brother and I were on the floor at JoeFest 2026 in Augusta, so here’s everything you need to know.

Read MoreStory by @GIJoeRepairShop Mike Judge is known as the creator of multiple award-winning television shows such as Beavis and Butthead, Daria, King of the Hill, Silicon Valley, and many others. The most famous movie that he wrote is “Office Space.” It is still quoted endlessly by office workers today who are unhappy with their choice of careers or with the boss to whom they’ve been assigned. One running joke in Office Space concerns “TPS reports” and whether or not the main characters have completed their TPS reports appropriately. In the…
Read MoreThe 1980s gave us plenty of heroes who charged into battle with swords raised, fists clenched, and theme music blasting through the living room like Saturday morning had declared war on boredom. But She-Ra was different. Yes, she had the sword.Yes, she had the strength.Yes, she had the glowing transformation, the flying horse, the magical destiny, and the power to stand against evil with the kind of confidence that made every kid believe anything was possible before breakfast. But She-Ra’s true strength was never just physical. It was compassion. That…

Read MoreWhen most people think of He-Man, they think of the sword. That glowing blade raised high above Prince Adam’s head. The lightning cracking through the sky. The immortal words shouted with the kind of conviction only an 80s kid could fully understand: “I have the power!” And just like that, Adam became He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. But here is the thing about He-Man that made him different from so many other heroes of the 1980s: his greatest power was never really the sword. It was not…
Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios Since the inception of my adult collecting, I’ve been married to Hasbro’s G.I. Joe Classified line. And while 2025 was like a Cadillac-sized ball of crack for a crackhead, 2026, along with other amazing lines, has diminished the light in my eyes of loyalty to the line and the brand. It all started when I opened the $46 Legacy Special Forces figure while having two different Monster Force Delta Reds that were a couple of dollars cheaper and infinitely better, with more gear…
