Posting this one before calling it a night. I just know if I put it off, I’ll never get it done. The Penguin When people my age think about The Penguin, one singular image comes to mind: Danny DeVito in 1992’s Batman Returns. Similar visual comparisons have also been made to the version that eventuallyContinue reading “Today’s Toy Haul: The Penguin [Batman Returns DC Multiverse Action Figure] (October 21, 2019)”

Remembering our lone visit to St. Marks Comics NYC (February 4, 2019)
October 3, 2018 During one of our family vacation scheduled “free days,” my brother Tim and I decided to make a trip to famous St. Mark’s Comics in East Village. To be honest, it was a miracle that we finally found the establishment as we relied heavily on the New York Transit Systems’ free internetContinue reading “Remembering our lone visit to St. Marks Comics NYC (February 4, 2019)”
The Lego Batman Movie Merchandise (February 12, 2017)

Last Day (March 19, 2016)
For the last few years, those who have come to my clinic have seen this poster on my wall: Batman and Nightwing running in the rooftops of Gotham City.

Review: 10th Christmas Toys & Collectibles Fair 2015 (December 13, 2015)
This year’s Christmas Toys & Collectibles Fair 2015 at the SM Megatrade Hall 2 ended up being a simple pick up run[i] unlike in year’s past. The lines on the last day were sparse–the likely result of rolling in a little past 10 am–and I wasn’t complaining.

Review: Collecticon (September 26-27, 2015)
Now in its 8th year, the Hobbiworx and PinoyToyKolektor sponsored Collecticon has always–in my opinion–served as an appetizer for what is to come. An occasion wherein we can ‘whet our proverbial palette’ prior to the the yuletide season. I have been going to the Collecticon for a number of years now and if there isContinue reading “Review: Collecticon (September 26-27, 2015)”
