Daily Toy Review #57: Halo Reach Series 6 Unhelmeted Kat Action Figure (McFarlane Toys)

Daily Toy Review #53: Marvel Universe Daredevil and Bullseye Comic Pack Action Figures Two-Pack
If ever there were figures from the Marvel Universe line that needed redos, it’s Daredevil and Bullseye. Both characters were in the inaugural series of Marvel Universe figures, and both figures were complete crap. They shared the same body with …

Daily Toy Review #49: Mawhonic Podracer Star Wars VC71 Episode I The Phantom Menace 2012 Action Figure
There are some characters of such crucial importance and monumental popularity that they need to have the same action figure released in multiple different lines and packaging configurations within the same year. Evidently, Mawhonic the Gran Podracer from Star Wars: …

Daily Toy Review #48: G8-R3 Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace 2012 Astromech Droid Figure
Before I was traumatized for life and cried for a week when the Buzz Droids chainsawed off R4-P17′s head in Revenge of the Sith, I shed more than a few tears during The Great Astromech Droid Massacre of Episode I. …

It’s the penultimate entry in my Marvel Legends Series 1 Reviews, and today I’ve got the only figure in the set without a Build-A-Figure Terrax piece–because he’s as big as the Build-A-Figure all by himself: Modern Thor! A slightly-different “powered-up” …
