the Cape Crusader has been around for grandpa years since 1939 and like all awesome things in life, it has been through a whole lot of change along the way. obvious changes were the costumes and vehicles but there is one significant but yet subtle change that most people did not pay a whole lot of attention to and that’s the Batman logo. yeah. we did take note of those logos over…
we know what are you thinking. you must be thinking, ‘yeah, custom movie action figures. so what? i have loads of Star Wars man-folks collectibles stash my basement’. but we are not talking about those kid-friendly, parent-happy man’s version of barbie dolls. instead, what we are talking about are action figures that will probably make parents frown in objection. just think…
Obama might have kept his seat this year but the hottest American President this year is not him – it is the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln – and we have the silver screen portrayal of him as a vampire slayer (frictional, of course – you do know that, don’t you?) and the up coming feature film Lincoln where Daniel Day-Lewis will be filling the role of Abe…
no, the Tarantino XX 8-Film Collection Blu-ray isn’t a Tarantino adult film (it has one less ‘X’, you see?). the ‘XX’ there points to the first 20 years that this redefining director has been in the business and as the name implies, the collection includes eight flicks personally selected by Quentin Tarantino that helped define his early success. the films chosen are what we considered…

some says that Sean Connery’s portrayal of the silver screen MI6 agent is the most memorable one and if you believe so and also happens to be a no-nonsense Bond fan, then you probably want to check out this 1963 James Bond’s Walther Gun that’s put under the hammer by Sotheby’s. this is the exact piece that were used by Sean Connery for the publicity shots for four James…
the recent sales of Lucasfilm to Walt Disney Company, should not have any impact on Star Wars fans but in case it does, you may want to quickly amass its collectible action figures up to this point (that’s 35 years since if you haven’t been counting) before Lord Vader starts wear Mickey Mouse’s ears. however, to do…
remember how you used to play with those plastic green army men when you were a kid? those cute little soldiers are vintages now and those that turn up in your local toy stores in recent time are, well, so passe (why do even make them now anyway?). in the 21st century, we (and kids alike) are still into miniature army toys but one that’s on the grimmer side of the story, like The…
at this point, the latest Internet sensation PSY should be no stranger to the Internet community – thanks to his hit song ‘Gangnam Style‘ that has hogged the iTunes most downloaded chart’s top spot for the longest time that we can remember. along with PSY’s ‘Gangnam Style‘ is the accompanying bold and provocative music video that features the Korean dude’s…
