The DC Direct DCEASED Action Figure Line... Bitey, but Not Chewy

Tomorrow is September 1st...and you all know what that means... IT'S ALMOST HALLOWEEN TIME AGAIN!!! Ok fine, we are still around two months off, but do we really need an excuse to celebrate the coming of the high holy days? The answer is NOPE!! Though we are still reeling from the untimely demise of DC Direct (the collectibles manufacturing arm of DC Comics), we were still allowed a final bitey package from our friends containing the first (and likely, last) DCeased action figures, based on the comic series of the same name and themed for YOU, the creepiest of readers, right at the start of the best holiday ever.

NECA's Toony Terrors vs Scooby-Doo: Jason Voorhees Attacks

From the first moment NECA showed off their new Toony Terrors action figure line, I had only one thought in mind. The iconic killers from our favorite films were so expertly translated into cartoon characters, there was only one gang of monster fighters they could face off against.
THE SCOOBY-DOO GANG!! As luck would have it, Character Toys have just re-released their Scooby action figure line in incredibly affordable 2 packs starring the Scoobies paired with creepy bad guys I did not own yet, all for 6 dollars each. Not a deal I could pass up! With a NECA box of terrors delivered at lightning speed, all that was left was to set the stage, and the Big Kid Toy Store at the New Egypt Flea Market just happened to provide all the supernatural looking settings I needed. SO.. without further gum flapping, here's part one of our photo series in which Velma meets the man behind the mask, Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th!

Jackson the Cat Reviews Playmobil Dragons

Over my 20 something years of writing for websites and trying my best to recruit top talent to report and take pictures for us, it's always been a challenge keeping people on board. It seems like everyone wants to come to the party, but no one wants to help set up before, and everyone peaces out before it's time to clean up...but everyone wants a gift bag!! In dealing with this challenge, we often have to think outside the box, recruiting talent from all walks of life who at least have our geek loves in common. Last year...we hired a cat.

This should be a short review.
Get it? I’ll wait.

Short... review…

Comedic gold. Send that home to your parents, compliments of the ol’ Darianster.
Today we’re taking a look at the brand spanking new S.H.Figuarts Ant-Man. This isn’t my first Figuarts figure. I’m pretty much a sucker for any super hero/Star Wars license they release. The figure is a 1:12 replication of Scott Lang in his second Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) uniform. As expected, it’s a great figure. How great is it?

Hasbro's 12" Marvel Legends Captain America Reviewed

By Darian S. Kovach

This is my first review for Idlehands. This is a really good thing. Why? Because I REALLY like discussing myself, things I like, things I don’t like, things I may like… really, the list goes on and on. Honestly, if you’ve spoken to me in the last few decades, there was a 50-50 chance I was waiting on you to stop talking so I can talk more about me. So this idlehands thing is huge, because I love action figures and I really enjoy talking about them.

My first review: The brand new Marvel Legends 12 inch 1:6 scale Captain America. Let’s start with the first thing you notice; the box. As boxes go, it’s very shiny and is square. You can imagine my shock when they went for a more traditional box. I thought by now, holographic Tupac would be delivering action figures to me personally. This didn’t happen, so I went ahead and took matters into my own hands and inspected the box. As with most modern day action figure boxes, there is a nice preview panel in front with a few pieces of tape I had to cut to get into the plastic goodness found inside. Pretty standard fare these days, catering to both the collector and the 12 year old who happens to have $50 cash on them. Did I say $50? I paid $39.99 for mine on preorder because I’m special (and by “special” I mean “someone else told me about the deal and I jumped on board”). However, the standard msrp seems to come in at the $50 mark. Which, when you consider a 1:6 scale Hot Toy averages around $225, it isn’t too shabby.
