Hot Toys Wonderwoman Review

battle

Let me just start by offering a full disclaimer—Wonder Woman was my favorite DC movie so far. I felt like Warner Brothers really pulled the stops out with this one. Gal Gadot's acting was fantastic, she looked the part, and let's face it—that iconic shield / trench scene with machine gun fire was probably the most badass thing to hit the screen in a long, long time. Truly epic!

That being said, I love this figure just as much! Let's jump to the review! Read More...

Hot Toys Daredevil and Punisher Review

DDduoside

Okay. I know it's been a GOD AWEFUL LONG TIME since I've done a toy review. I have no excuse except for the fact that I run six companies, teach music, manage 20 employees, started developing new software, and have been working hard on finishing my new album. Aside from that—no excuses.

Anyway, let's start this out with this thought:

IT'S BEEN AN AMAZING YEAR FOR TELEVISION!

With the advent of streaming services like Netflix getting into television production, I have to say that it's got to be television's new golden age. Let's face it, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and STRANGER THINGS are collectively some of the best television that we've ever seen. The acting, directing, longer story line development, and special effects have really ushered in a new age of TV that we just haven't seen the likes of before.

That being said, I thought I would do this review about the new Daredevil and Punisher figures. Daredevil is the show that got me hooked on Netflix as a production company. It was the first show that I ever binge watched and I was hurting from lack of sleep (as I am right now recovering from Stranger Things season 2). Read More...

Hot Toys T-800 Terminator

fullfront
In this review, we take on the new Hot Toys T-800 Terminator figure. This is a great figure and I think it’s well worth the money. I’m a huge Hot Toys fan and I’ve been wanting something Terminator to add to my collection. This of course allows me to scratch both itches. Instead of giving you a long intro, let’s get to the review!

Gi Joe Airtight

By: Chris

package
In this toy review, we cover Airtight, or “Kurt Schnurr”. Airtight was one of my favorite GI Joes as a kid because it was one of the few GI Joes (not Cobras) with a sweet mask. His mask was similar to “Copperhead”, the Water Moccasin driver. And when it came to masks, Cobra had the best. From the Vipers, Wild Weasel, Frogmen, Firefly, and all the way up to Cobra Commander, Cobra had all of the coolest masks. Airtight was one of the few Joes that stood out among the crowd.

Although his history is a bit ambiguous (like why is an environmental specialist giving safety advice when someone from the medical profession (like Lifeline) would be a better choice), there’s no denying that he was always a cool looking figure.

The Two Indys

By: Chris

In this toy review, we’re going to take a look at the two Indys. At least two of the most recent (and popular) Indiana Jones collectible figures. We’re going to take a fair look at both the Sideshow Indiana Jones figure and the recently released Hot Toys Indiana Jones Deluxe figure. I tried to get the images as large as I could (while maintaining space for text) so if you’re on dial-up…. well…. you just shouldn’t be on dial-up.

Iron Man Mark IV Review

By: Rob

Welcome to my first toy review for Pladd Dot Toys. Having never done a proper toy review before, we will learn all of this together. I'll tell you though, if you find yourself doing a first toy review there is no better way to start than reviewing the Iron Man 2 Mark IV by Hot Toys. This is perhaps the best looking figure that I've ever personally owned....and I own A LOT of toys. Hasbro, Mattel, ToyBiz, Marvel Select, DC Direct, Gentle Giant, Sideshow, Medicom, etc.. This is the first Hot Toys figure I've owned and I'm amazed at the detail that they've put into this figure. If you're a serious collector and you've got the smack to lay down for a figure of this caliber then you won't be disappointed. Hot Toys has gone the extra mile in detail for this figure like no other company that I've ever bought from before. Enough talk, lets get going shall we.

The Iron Man 2 Mark IV comes in a nice looking package, but even so, it doesn't do the contents justice.
