I’m not sure when I started collecting Spiderman toys, since I had never really been into Spiderman comics. My brother-in-law was (is) the Spiderman fan in the family (I’m more of a DC kind of guy) but I’ve somehow managed to end up with a fair amount of Spidey-stuff in the collection.

Just seen via Action Figure Insider’s website, Castaway Toys will be producing some exclusive 8″ action figures of my favourite comic cook here – The Phantom.

They look fantastic and would be an awesome addition to any Phantom collector’s box of goodies. Anyone going to FX and would like to pick one up for me!? Hmmm!? I don’t there are too many Phantom action figures out there to be honest.

Once I has to travel to the US for work, and was fortunate enough to find a couple of Mighty Muggs to bring home for myself. I knew however that I would be acosted by my children yet again for bringing home toys for myself, but nothing as cool for them (kids these days, I tell ya …). I thought I would bring them home something that I would normally buy for myself, but this time I’d give it to them and, God forgive me, even let them open the packaging and play with them!

What I found for them were Star Wars Galactic Heroes. (more…)

Simple – they’re made from 100% recycled awesome. That’s what the box says, and I’m inclined to agree with them! (more…)
