Check Out The Figures At The 49th Prize Fair
Posted by Leah Bayer on September 6, 2017 | 1 CommentPrize figures have always been appealing: you get a cheap version of a popular character, often in an outfit that we’d never see in scales.

Toy Fair 2017: Kotobukiya’s Gotham ArtFX+ Gallery
Posted by Leah Bayer on February 27, 2017 | No CommentsWe’ve seen the rest of Kotobukiya’s DC TV line (Arrow, Supergirl, The Flash) so now it’s time for Gotham! Which, so far, is the only show to have more than one figure in it. Because you know everyone likes the villain more than the protagonist, but you can’t start a line off without a hero!
My main question is, who names a little baby Oswald Cobblepot? You’re basically just asking to create a supervillain at that point, right? That or an NFL player (I’m looking at you, Ha Ha Clinton Dix). Both Oswald/Penguin and Jim Gordon are painted and ready for orders. Who would you like to see next in the line, Plastikitties?

Toy Fair 2017: Kotobukiya’s Arrow ArtFX+ Gallery
Posted by Leah Bayer on February 27, 2017 | 2 CommentsSo how are you guys enjoying this season of Felicity & Friends? I have seen exactly one episode, and granted I was at the gym so maybe I wasn’t paying close attention. But man, aliens in the DC world sure play it fast and loose, huh? You’d think posting even a single guard around kidnapped people would be mandatory. Not in ~tv land~
Anyway, Kotobukiya’s Arrow ArtFX+ was one of the figures we got to take out from behind the glass at Toy Fair. Look at his little arrows! He’s totally gonna attempt to shoot you with them but I doubt it would really hurt. Pew pew, watch out for tiny Arrow! Do you ever look at all these small scale superhero figures and imagine them trying to take down a normal-sized human in some sort of epic boss battle? And the human is you? No…. just me?
