FULL REVIEW AND PICS: That Figures: REVIEW: The CORPS! Curse Exo-Battlesuit with Troll Lanard's The CORPS! figures are always a lot of fun. I like their retro-styling and great value for money, so it will, I'm sure, come as no surprise to learn that I'm a fan of this Exo-Battlesuit set...

FULL REVIEW AND PICS HERE: That Figures: REVIEW: The CORPS! Super Soldier Curse ''Masked Guy'' I've always appreciated Lanard's The CORPS! figures. I love that despite being cheap they don't feel it and that there's always an element of fun to them and their most recent releases have...

FULL REVIEW HERE: That Figures: REVIEW: The CORPS! Elite 3-Pack - Ogre, Buckshot and Snake Bite The CORPS! Elite 3-Pack is definitely a game of three halves (yes, I know...) Ogre is a solid, retro-style figure that CORPS! collectors will not only recognize but will welcome into their...

Apologies if this is old (and that it features a lot of discussion of the 12'' line) but this makes for interesting reading, particularly his comments on social media...

That Figures: REVIEW: Marvel Legends Radioactive Man There's really very little wrong with Radioactive Man. It could be argued that the clear green plastic makes him a little flat looking (due to the lack of any additional paint) and it ''looks weird'' because it exposes his joints or...

That Figures: REVIEW: Marvel Legends Captain America (Ultimate Marvel Version) Final Thoughts The Ultimate Marvel Captain America has a lot going for it. It looks great, the articulation (horrible hips aside) is great and it's ultimately - no pun intended - a great rendition of the...

That Figures: REVIEW: SLUG Zombies Decrepit Katie Final Thoughts The SLUG Zombie line really deserved a better run. It's still something that baffles me, as the line checks pretty much every box you'd expect of a great minifigure line, from competitive pricing to great sculpts and the...

That Figures: REVIEW: Marvel Legends Ms. Marvel Final Thoughts I resisted the Marvel Legends line for the longest time. To me they just appeared to be scaled-up versions of the Marvel Universe figures but at twice the price. But when I saw the Target-exclusive 3-pack on clearance (down...

That Figures: REVIEW: Marvel Universe's Green Goblin Final Thoughts I love classic superhero comic designs and the Silver Age represented, for me, probably the best era in comicbooks in terms of characters and designs. If you look at Spider-Man's line-up of foes, it quickly becomes...

That Figures: REVIEW: Marvel Universe's Ultron Final Thoughts It would be pretty easy to dismiss Ultron as just another Hasbro figure but that would be doing him a disservice. Granted, if you stick him side-by-side with Doctor Doom it will become apparent very quickly how many pieces...

That Figures: REVIEW: Imaginext Ghost Ship Final Thoughts I've really enjoyed the Imaginext Pirate theme's previous releases. Whilst the ''normal'' pirates are fun, I found the Steampunk themed ones added a little extra depth to the line that really ramped-up the visual design and fun...

That Figures: REVIEW: Magic: The Gathering Ajani Goldmane Final Thoughts There are a lot of problems with Ajani Goldmane. His paint app is uninspired, a few of his layer pieces inhibit his articulation (although thankfully they're at least solid and don't feel like they're going to pop...

That Figures: REVIEW: Marvel Universe's Drax When this figure was first released Drax was a pretty obscure player in the Marvel Universe but, following last year's big screen adaptation, he's become a more mainstream character, meaning there are probably more collectors now interested in...

That Figures: REVIEW: Marvel Universe's Star-Lord I found it an interesting experience to revisit the Marvel Universe line after such a long absence. And I have to admit that I did find myself enjoying posing Star-Lord much more than I expected to. I had memories of the hip/cut-thigh rig...

That Figures: REVIEW: LEGO Bionicle Protector of Stone My first experience of the Bionicle line - the Protector of Jungle - set the bar pretty high. And sadly, whilst the Protector of Stone is excellent, he's just not quite as excellent as his leafy cousin. That's not to say the...

That Figures: REVIEW: Imaginext Pirate Serpent Ship The Serpent Ship is a superb playset/vehicle, packed with great interactive play features, cool-looking figures, fun engineering and a design that looks so cool both at rest and during play. With all that said, your enjoyment of this...

That Figures: REVIEW: Imaginext Pirate Skeleton Diver The Skeleton Diver is another strong addition to the Imaginext Pirates line-up. But before I can fully recommend it, I just want to briefly touch on the pricing of this set. If you're used to the single-figure with mount/accessory...

Review of one of the most 80s-tastic toys I've seen in a long while: That Figures: REVIEW: Imaginext Cosmic Chaos Ion Scorpion Every time I come to Review an Imaginext toy, I'm impressed. There's a lot of good in this line and it hits a lot of the things I look for in a range of toys...

That Figures: REVIEW: LEGO Bionicle Protector of Jungle As the Protector of Jungle is the first of the new Bionicle sets I've Reviewed, I'm going to briefly touch on a few general impressions of the new line before moving onto the figure itself. If the Protector of Jungle is anything...

Is it just me, or is there a major GI Joe Sting Raider vibe to this? That Figures: REVIEW: Imaginext Cosmic Chaos Alpha Pod I have to admit the Alpha Pod is a bit of a mixed bag. Starting with the negatives (so I can end on a positive note) I have a few issues with the overall...
