Comic Ad: Marvel Comics vs. DC (Argentina)
On a recent vacation to Argentina, my brother picked up a couple of Argentinian comics for me. It's pretty interesting to see familiar heroes using such unfamiliar speech bubbles. This Marvel vs. DC ad that ran in "Las Historias Jamas Contadas...

Retro Toy Review: Dark Knight Collection Bruce Wayne (Kenner)
Bruce Wayne is such an integral part of the Batman universe, but action figures based on him are often hit and miss. The toy designers always try to incorporate some sort of Batman costume change, but the results often leave much to be desired. Wit...
Comic Ad of the Week 32: Batman Begins Marketing Blitz
I was flipping through Legends of the Dark Knight #192 today for a comic ad of the week, and I was surprised by the number of ads featuring Batman Begins. Obviously this was because the issue was from August 2005, right when Batman Begins was release...
Toy Review: DC Universe Dr. Fate and Hawkgirl by Mattel
As I stated in my Flash review earlier this week, the Mattel DC Universe line has been in the doghouse with me for a while now. But I can't resist getting some of my favorite superheroes in plastic. So I willingly plunked down the cash for Dr. Fa...
Toy Review: DC Universe The Flash
I think many would agree that the DC Universe line is the most frustrating toy line to collect. It's difficult, if not impossible, to find these figures in the stores, so I've started ordering them online. But the quality control is all over the pl...
Comic Ad of the Week 27: Mattel DC Superheroes
This week's comic ad features Superman and Bizarro from the Mattel DC Superheroes line.The ad might be a relatively recent one, but like many of the comic ads here, it makes me a tad bit nostalgic because it makes me reminisce about the good old day...

Comic Ad of the Week 20: got milk? with Batman and Superman
This week's comic ads were from the got milk? ad campaign, featuring Superman and Batman. The ads double as promotional materials for Superman Returns and The Dark Knight. I don't have much to say about the ads, I just thought they were cool. T...
Toy Review: DC Universe Hawkman by Mattel
Man, I'm really running behind on these DC Universe figures. This wave has been out for quite some time and I just got Hawkman last week. Hawkman is a character with which I'm not too familiar. In fact, I don't think I have any experience with him...
Toy Review: DC Universe Classics Shazam! by Mattel

Toy Review: DC Universe Wonder Woman by Mattel
I'm sort of a n00b with Wonder Woman. I dig her colorful costume and her mythology as one of the big three in the DC Universe, so I've recently started reading her comics. I was glad to hear that she would be part of the super-cool Four Hoursemen DC...
DC Universe Wave 8
MattyCollector.com revealed images of DC Universe wave 8! The assortment of characters is one of the best we've gotten so far, and the figures look pretty awesome. They're all pretty cool, but I'm most looking forward to Hawkgirl, Dr. Fate, and the...
