Just dropped a brand new NYCC video!

I got a full tour of the NECA Toys booth this year — tons of upcoming figures, wild prototypes, and deep-cut collectibles. Huge shoutout to Blaine at NECA for walking me through everything they had on display.

Check out the full booth tour here and let me know which figures you’re most excited about!

Got to check out the NECA Toys booth during New York Comic Con 2025, and it did not disappoint! Blaine from NECA walked me through all the latest figures and...

Unboxing the Bandai Namco S.H. Figuarts Android 19 from Dragon Ball Z! I’ve been meaning to grab this one — even though 19 catches that fade early in the Android Saga, the design is still wild. I go over the sculpt, articulation, and all the little details that make this figure stand out in the S.H. Figuarts line.

From the double-chin face sculpt and earrings to those weirdly great joints, this is one of the most interesting builds in the line. I also talk a bit about Vegeta’s “Super Vegeta” moment and what makes this era of Dragon Ball Z such a favorite.

👉 What do you think of this Android 19 figure — worth adding to your collection, or skipping until they make a new Dr. Gero or Android 17?

I finally got my hands on the Hasbro Marvel Legends Gamerverse Gargantos — but let’s be real, this is Shuma Gorath. In this review, I talk about why this character has always stood out to me (thanks to Capcom’s Marvel Super Heroes), the weird naming issue with Gargantos, and why the figure is a must-have.

From the articulated eye and tentacles to the overall presence on the shelf, this figure is perfect for collectors and stop-motion animators alike. It’s big, weird, and totally worth the money.

👉 Do you call it Gargantos or Shuma Gorath? Let me know in the comments.

I got this figure when it was released and I haven’t finished the show but I think the figure looks real cool. Check out my unboxing and review of the figure.

I’m diving into the Spider-Man Magic: The Gathering Welcome Decks from Wizards of the Coast. These decks feature Peter Parker and Miles Morales, each with unique artwork from some incredible artists. In this video, I go through both decks card by card, react to the art, and share my thoughts as a comic fan who’s not deep into MTG but still loves the crossover.

If you’re a Magic player, a Marvel fan, or just curious about these Spider-Man cards, this is a fun look at the crossover event.

👉 Which card art from these decks is your favorite? Would you play with them or keep them sealed as collectibles?

Took a chance on one of those Batman #1 blind bag comics—it really is comic book gambling. 🎲🦇

In the video, I break down what you can actually pull from these mystery packs, show what I got inside, and talk about whether they’re worth the money or just a fun impulse buy.

Have you ever tried one of these DC blind bags? What’s the best (or worst) thing you’ve pulled?
