Action Figures & Accessories: clone trooper

If you're like me, and you're also a comic book fan, then you probably know that the uber-popular comic Kick Ass is about to hit theaters as a  full-length feature film. If you didn't know this, then you do now and you're welcome.

And what major comic book adaptation movie would be complete with...

The good folks over at Marvelous News released a bunch of pics of the upcoming Iron Man 2 6" line of figures that will be released as exclusive figures to Walmart.

On one hand, this is great news to the people out there who were less than pleased to heart about the Iron Man 2 figures making the s...

Well, once again, Mattel serves up a heaping amount of misery for it's fans as another stellar example of poor customer traffic management and inadequate stock production this past Monday when their much anticipated, and equally debated (flocked ears or no flocked ears?), MOTUC Mossman figure wen...

Thanks to the good folks over at Toy News International, we're getting a sneak peek of DCU's latest World of Warcraft offerings.

I'll be the first to admit that these figures are stunningly sculpted, amazingly painted and brilliantly detailed, but for me, that just doesn't make up for the fact t...

I was never a big She-Ra fan, mostly due to the fact that, as a kid, I considered She-Ra to be a girls cartoon, despite the fact that her arch nemesis, Hordak, was 800 lbs of sheer awesomeness. So, I'm only mildly excited about the upcoming release of the MOTUC She-Ra figure.

However, it's my du...

Backyard Discovery has just released its spring collection of playsets (compare prices) and they're beautiful! The Atlantis set (pictured) has three swing stations, a climbing wall, a shopkeeper's window, a slide and a clubhouse that's designed so parents can see inside. This set retails for about $600.

While I haven't seen these swing sets in person, the attention to detail is impressive, t...

Kidzsacks (compare prices) are clever kids' backpacks made from 100% recycled, organic cotton. While many toys claim to be eco friendly, it's rare to see one made from 100% recycled material. It's just another reason why parents should read labels carefully!

Included with the backpacks are a pack of eight non-toxic, washable markers. Kids color in the designs on the canvas to make each Kidzs...

The CPSC has just announced that about 1,000 bicycle bells manufactured by Botou Baite Bike Bell Company and distributed by Do It Best Corp. have been recalled due to lead-paint contamination. They were manufactured in China and sold at Dollar Stores and Do It Best Hardware stores in the United States.

If you have this recall toy in your home, you should take it away from children immediatel...

I am dying to get my hands on a Geomate Jr. Geocaching GPS (compare prices.) Geocaching is a great family activity that gets everyone outdoors. The Geomate Jr. has 250,000 geocache locations preloaded. Simply scroll through to find the one closest to you and set off on foot, following the arrows on the screen. When you get there you'll find a box with little notes or treasures. Just be sure t...

Zibits are mini RC (remote-controlled) robot toys that come in 12 collectible styles. Only about three inches tall, Zibits go forward and spin around when you push the button on the remote control. Remote-control toy collectors and robot freaks would enjoy these. They are quirky and make cute sound effects, but unfortunately there's no reverse, they don't go very fast and they stumbled over ...
