October is Monster Month at PGPoA!

October 1, 2012 | Poe

So as you may have noticed, things are a little different around here. In celebration of All Hallows’ Eve, October is Monster Month at PGPoA! (Big thanks to Wyatt Jones for that great logo!)

I had originally planned to post a review of a monster toy every single day before realizing just how ridiculously impossible that would be for me at this point in my life. So I’ve scaled it back a bit – there will definitely be monster reviews this month, but sprinkled among other, non-monster-y reviews and assorted fun stuff. (more…)

Finally, NECA brings us a brand-new Mr. T figure in the form of Clubber Lang. No word on a “street clothes” Clubber like JAKKS did, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw him soon. In the meantime, ask yourself: do I have the eye of the tiger, or am I a fool to be pitied? You can order these figures here. (more…)

Quick Review > Joe Amaro’s Mystic Hammer

September 26, 2012 | Poe

The MOTUC collecting world seems to have come to a consensus: Tytus needs a better weapon. I suppose the “Body Snatcher” was neat enough in the 1980s, when it featured a rubbery piece inside the hammer that could actually wrap around figures; but the solid-plastic “Warrior Smasher” of the modern Tytus wasn’t quite as fun.

To rectify the situation, Spy Monkey Creations famously created the Hammer of Chalybeous, one of their most popular fan-made accessories (which also featured a super-rare PGPoA exclusive variant!) Fans continue to beg SMC to produce more of that accessory, but now that SMC has moved on to bigger and better things (as will be discussed on the site later this week), there was room for someone else to step in.
