Growing up in the 1980’s, it’s hard to imagine one not knowing about Popples. An animated TV show and plush line, the Popples characters were a hybrid between a teddy bear and a sort of marsupial. Having a tail that ends in a pom-pom, each creature folds up into itself to become a ball. Original […]

For today’s review, I look at a piece released last year over in Disneyland’s Wonderland Gallery to celebrate the 65th Anniversary of the theme park. Sculpted by artist Dave Perillo and featuring a Disney Parks icon that appears at five locations throughout the world. Here is the iconic and beloved Partners Statue. The real Partners statue […]
For today’s review, I check out two of the Funko Pop! Vinyl releases from the Pixar movie Onward, which was released around this time last year. This was actually the last movie I saw in theatres before the pandemic shut things down. While I enjoyed the movie, I didn’t want to go crazy collecting pieces from […]
For today’s review, I take a closer look at one of the pieces released last year for the 65th Anniversary of Disneyland. An opening day attraction back in 1955, and still a fan favorite all these years later, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride is probably one of my favorite Disney attractions. I loved the animated feature […]

Recently, Funko has been releasing a lot of new and… interesting… Pop! Vinyls as part of their Ad Icons line. One of these is of the Spam Can, with its’ recognizable, rectangular shape. Originating in Minnesota in 1937, this canned pork product became popular worldwide (and became a staple in Hawaiian and Polynesian cooking) during […]
For today’s review, I check out two of the Funko 5 Star line. I found these on Clearance at my local Barnes and Noble store back in December, so I decided they would be a great buy to review and then gift to one of my friends for Christmas. Here are Poison Ivy and Batgirl. Both […]
Today, I take a look at another of the Handmade by Robots Knit Vinyl figures. A compliment to my previously reviewed Slimer figure, here it the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from the movie Ghostbusters. Stay Puft is the first in this Knit Series of Handmade by Robots vinyl figures by The Coop… so the one that started […]
Up on today’s review is probably one of the best Pop! Rides I have added to my collection in 2020. A limited edition release during the Spring Convention celebration, usually when Emerald City Comic Con happens. Unfortunately, during 2020 most of the conventions were cancelled. However, that didn’t stop companies like Funko to release exclusives. […]
