Toy Name (Short) Sonic Arrow Toy Number 01 Toy Review Summary Sonic Arrow Original Price Toy Review Content If you are a regular reader of the site, you are by now familiar with my obsession with the Tomica Hyper Series toys.  The Sonic Arrow is part of a set of three vehicles that level up the Tomica Hyper formula and create a three vehicle combiner that makes a giant robot, in addition to many other cool combinations. Sonic Arror is #1 in the set, and is a futuristic race car. It's a good sized vehicle that fits one Tomica figure in the cockpit, and features electronic lights an ..read more

Toy Name (Short) Sonic Breaker Toy Number 02 Toy Review Summary Sonic Breaker Original Price Toy Review Content Sonic Breaker, while less of a cool individual vehicle, is more about being something that combines with the other vehicles in the line, in this case, a giant robot! it's a heaftier car than Sonic Arrow, but there are no electronics in this one.

Buttons on the top open one compartment on each side. Sonic Breaker can ..read more

Toy Name (Short) First Order Heavy Assault AT-M6 Walker (Galaxy's Edge) Toy Number Toy Review Summary (Galaxy's Edge) Original Price 26.99 Toy Review Content One of the good things to come out of the oft-maligned The Last Jedi is the AT-M6 Walker. This new walker design showed up at the Battle of Crait, and is just such a cool design. We never got a toy of it in scale with any of the main Hasbro lines, so you have very few options if you want a nice toy of one. Revell put out a kit that you can buy in stores, but they also made a version for the Galaxy's Edge theme park, which is what we ..read more

Toy Name (Short) Black Gingaioh Toy Number GD-11B Toy Review Summary Black Gingaioh Original Price 9800 Toy Review Content My love for black versions of robots continues with the DX Chogokin Black Gingaioh - one of the heaviest sentai toys ever created, now one of the blackest. This bad boy is the same mold as the regular version, just redecorated in glorious gucci black and gold. The box is a greyscale version of the regular box but with a gold foil hightlight for the logo. Stickers are gold too. I decided not to apply them. It's the same 5 animals, with the same action features ..read more

Toy Name (Short) Dark Trooper Toy Number 28 Toy Review Summary Dark Trooper Original Price 34.99 Toy Review Content I preordered the Dark Trooper from Hasbro Pulse as soon as it was announced, and I think I waited almost a year for it to arrive. While waiting, it arrived in retail stores, so what's the point of pre-ordering? This was already a "deluxe" Black Series figure at $35, and then tack on shipping from Hasbro, this thing ran me about $43 USD. That's too much. I was so excited for this Dark Trooper design, and I have to say I am kind of let down by it. The figure comes with a gu ..read more

Toy Name (Short) E-92 Toy Number Toy Review Summary E-92 Original Price 19.99 Toy Review Content Eden was an anime released on Netflix in 2021, and while I enjoyed it, it didn't leave much of a mark on the anime landscape. Super7 got the license, and got three large size "Supervinyl" and a bunch of smaller chibi-style toys into Target in the collector section. Collectors responded with a collective yawn, and they soon went on clearance. At $20 it was a bit much for basically a static vinyl figure. But for $6 on clearance? Ok! E-92 and A-37 are the adoptive parents of the last human girl ..read more

Toy Name (Short) Godzilla Terrestris Toy Number Toy Review Summary Godzilla Terrestris Original Price 12.99 Toy Review Content I don't understand what Playmates is doing with Godzilla figures at all. Quality is all over the place, and while a similar Godzilla Movie Monster figure exists from Bandai, this is an entirely new figure. Enter Godzilla Terrestris. Godzilla Terrestris comes from the Godzilla Singular Point anime, and is third of four forms Godzilla takes in the anime. It's a great anime, you should watch it. The figure comes packaged on a card and the tail needs to be assemble ..read more

Toy Name (Short) Radar Robot Toy Number Toy Review Summary Radar Robot Original Price Toy Review Content Radar Robot is another battery-powered train transformer similar to Railger that we reviewed previously. But this one differs in that when not in train mode, the rest of the parts make a radar base that the train can drive through! It's sort of ugly but utterly charming at the same time. The box on this one is a bit beat, but you get the idea. We'll check out the train mode first. There are two train cars, with the lead car being motorized. 1 AA battery is required, but not includ ..read more

Toy Name (Short) New Republic Security Droid Toy Number Toy Review Summary New Republic Security Droid Original Price 24.99 Toy Review Content The New Republic Security Droid was featured on Chapter 6 of the Mandalorian, when a bunch of them were staffing a prison transport. I always get excited when I see new droids in the Star Wars universe. This droid has no particular connotation, but it is an N5 sentry droid. Unlike K2SO, no distinct personality was on display, making them more like drones than characters. He does have a bit of similarity with the K2 series, so its possible that the ..read more
