Yup, I'm a gonna keep doin' these until I don't think they're funny. That may be a while; they're a good outlet from hard studying....
Interested in a side-project? Because I'd like to create a toy database. - May 18, 2008 3:12 PM
I have a little bit of experience creating toy databases. I built the archive system for my old Dragonballtoys.com site from scratch, and adapted it for other sites. But what I'd really like to do is create a toy database...
Iron Man Mark I - April 1, 2008 1:51 PM
As you might have picked up, I'm pretty excited about the Iron Man movie. I'm really looking forward to seeing the archetypal character, without all the Extremis/Civil War/SHIELD garbage that's mucking up his current comic incarnation. The first line...
General Toyfair Roundup - February 19, 2008 1:45 PM

Transformer Movie Toy Roundup: Ironhide - June 14, 2007 3:27 PM
When I got my first batch of movie figures in the wee hours of the morning on June 2, I hadn't planned for Ironhide to be among them. I wasn't a fan of the photos I'd seen thus far, and...
THS 02 - Hybrid Style Convoy - May 14, 2006 9:32 PM
Tiny is the best word to describe this Optimus. The figure stands just over four inches tall, meaning it barely comes up to the original Optimus' waist, and is just a hair taller than the PVC figures. Of course,...
