2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

  Hasbro's Marvel ActionVerse evergreen line of   figures is just what the doctor ordered If you're looking for a fun action figure post on the cheap. Today we're looking at V.1 Spidey.  The one thing I thought was gonna be a turn off with these figures (peg holes on arms and legs) really doesn't bother me at all now that I've had the opportunity to see and play with them out of the packaging. What I'm not fond of are the inside thigh cuts on the leg sculpts. It looks a bit off and compromises joint tightness. I could see the legs on these guys getting loose over time.  Minor gripes aside, this is just a fun figure. You really need to embrace your inner 10 year old and let your imagination take over with these budget friendly ActionVerse figures.  More ActionVerse on the way!

I'd like to take a little break from MOTU for a second to go over a line of action figures that have recently caught my eye. The truth is it's pretty hard NOT to see these as they are ubiquitous in department store toy aisles and shelves. It's only now that they've peaked my interest. Let's take a look at Hasbro's Marvel ActionVerse! I'll start off with Hasbro ActionVerse movie Spidey.

I knew what I was getting into when I tossed this guy into my shopping cart.  The figure alone is a bit bland. The red and blue is a bit muted. It's the little extras that come with these ActionVerse figures that keep things interesting.  With every ActionVerse figure comes a T.M.N.T. like accessory tree. Every accessory has a ...

So, I finally watched the new Masters of the Universe movie on Prime and I liked it. Everyone was  celebrating Skeletor ( Jared Leto) but I think Trap-Jaw ( Sam C. Wilson) deserves just as much praise. Also, I was surprised at how much I liked Nick Galitzine as He-Man. He did a good job of transitioning from serious to comedic without the cringiness. Overall a great and nostalgic movie experience made even better by its accompanying line of action figures.  I didn't intend on picking up any Chronicles figures but ultimately caved because of how much  I liked the kid friendly core line. We kick things off with the films main character.  Right away you can see how movie accurate this figure is. Everything is pretty much spot on. The articulation is par for the course and what we've come to expect from upper tier 6 inch action figures.  My gripe is with the waist joint. There's a sm...
