Read MoreStory By our Founder In the world of collecting, fandom, toy photography, reviews, artwork, podcasts, livestreams, and pop culture discussion, it is easy for people to misunderstand the difference between self-promotion and community building. But that difference matters. A true community is not built by one person standing on a stage asking everyone to look at them. It is built by opening the doors, inviting people in, and giving creators a place where their voices, work, and passions can be seen. That is what the Lair has always been about.…
Read MoreBy @G_I_DAVE Hello fellow fans and friends! G.I.DAVE here, and we are going to analyze one of the G.I. Joe cartoon episodes to see if it’s silly, or realistic. This one has ALWAYS been a personal fav, highlighting the famous move Major Pearson pulled with the Satellite killer missile from an F15, the dogfight combat, and the CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) aspect of opposing Pilots that need to survive a hostile environment. I am a “Comic guy” through and through, but of course I never missed an episode of…
Read MoreSome TV shows walk into the room wearing sunglasses, leather jackets, and an attitude. She-Spies kicked the door open, winked at the camera, and asked if anyone had ordered chaos. The series debuted in 2002, following three former convicts who are pulled out of prison and recruited by a secret government agency to fight crime. The setup sounds like Charlie’s Angels crashed into a spy parody, and honestly, that is exactly where the fun begins. Instead of trying to be the next gritty espionage drama, She-Spies leaned into the absurd.…

Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios Y’all have heard me wax poetic about the G.I. Joe Movie in multiple articles. But that video, as iconic as it is, came from a place that was as magical as the Pyramids of Egypt. Your local VHS rental store. Now, I am not talking about Blockbuster, which was an amazing place in its own right. But Blockbuster shared the limelight with affordable DVDs, flash drives for computers, and other blossoming tech of the early 2000s. I am talking about those places that…
Read MoreFew characters in anime history have carried the weight, mystery, and lasting impact of Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam. Known across the battlefield as “The Red Comet,” Char is more than a masked rival, more than a brilliant pilot, and more than a villain. He is one of the most complicated figures in the Gundam universe: a man shaped by loss, driven by revenge, haunted by ideology, and forever tied to the fate of humanity in space. Char was born Casval Rem Deikun, the son of Zeon Zum Deikun,…

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.
