Diamond Select Iron Man, Black Widow, and Black Panther resin figures review

The Avengers. They’re Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, a team made up of some of the greatest characters in the entire Marvel Universe. They’ve faced a myriad of threats over more than sixty years of publishing history, and have spearheaded a multi-billion dollar film franchise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thanks to their presence in different types

Diamond Select Doctor Strange Legends in 3-D bust review

Over the course of dozens of films, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has introduced audiences to an astonishing number of characters, some of whom I never though would ever reach the big screen let alone become household names. Seriously, who ever though that characters like Mantis, Ulysses Klaue, and M.O.D.O.K. would be recognized by the moviegoing

Diamond Select Toys Daredevil: Woman Without Fear Minimates review

In the past few years, I have amassed for myself a fairly decent collection of Daredevil items, mainly action figures and general collectibles. As a fan of ol’ hornhead I’m always on the lookout for more, and frankly? The more unique the better. Diamond Select’s line of Minimates are always fun little figures, with interchangeable

Diamond Select Rogue and Gambit PVC dioramas review

Growing up, I loved watching X-Men cartoons. I wore out my VHS copy of Pryde of the X-Men, which to this day has one of the greatest cartoon theme songs ever written: Classic. That was only a single episode (and great arcade game), though, so for several years the X-Men animated series that debuted in

Diamond Select Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures review

It would be tempting to say that we’re living in a golden age of Ninja Turtles content, what with the Mutant Mayhem film and any number of video games, toy lines, and television series being ever present reminders of those heroes in a half shell. But then… when haven’t the Turtles been a constant pop

Diamond Select Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin Minimates and Gallery diorama review

While the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been pop culture mainstays almost constantly since they were first introduced, the heroes in a half-shell have experienced a new level of popularity in the last few years thanks to the comic series The Last Ronin. Originally pitched way back in the ‘80s, the story finally made its

Diamond Select Captain America, Doctor Doom, and M.O.D.O.K. busts and diorama review

While in some ways I could be seen as a “DC guy,” I sure do like to Make Mine Marvel too. This is especially true for collectible and statues, as the good people at Diamond Select always have a wide variety of heroes and villains available across multiple lines. This week we have three great

Diamond Select The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington diorama review

What’s this? What’s this? A Jack Skellington diorama! So yeah, I lost the rhythm of the song pretty quickly there, but no matter, because we have us yet another winner from Diamond Select. Based on the beloved cult classic (if not outright classic at this point) film The Nightmare Before Christmas, this PVC diorama captures

The Comic Pause 2023 Christmas Gift Guide

It’s Christmastime, and that means gift-giving, shopping lists, and above all celebrating the birth of our Savior. If you need a few ideas of what to get a friend or loved one, or want to spend some Christmas cash on something for yourself, I have just a few great ideas here to get your holiday

Diamond Select and Gentle Giant Indiana Jones collectibles review

There are very few perfect movies out there. In my book, Steven Spielberg has directed at least three of them, one being Raiders of the Lost Ark. A love letter to pulp heroes and adventure serials, it is the greatest adventure film ever made, featuring one of the greatest screen heroes of all. Daring, dry,
