I’d seen similar things in the past, and they always fell short. Plus, most of the sets were $35 to $50, plus shipping. That’s a hefty price to ask for cardboard. And yet, […]

Upon my second viewing of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I was struck with an epiphany regarding the origins of the filmâ€™s protagonist, Rey. Iâ€™d like to document my theory, as I have not encountered it elsewhere. (I do not claim to be the only person to have thought of this, only that I have […]

A Note About DC Collectibles

Casimir — Sun, 11 Jan 2015 15:27:55 +0000

Between Inanimate Objects, this blog, and my Facebook page, I’ve been pretty tough on toy companies over the years. I tend to call things as I see them, and usually what I see isn’t up to par. I’m pleased to say I’ve never been paid, bought off, or otherwise bribed to make comments positive or […]

For many action figure collectors, the former company Palisades holds a special place in our hearts. Palisades was a company that produced toys people actually wanted. They listened to fans, while staying true to their license holders. Their products were fun toys and works of art. Palisades was a company that cared at a time […]

Powers the Animated Series

Casimir — Thu, 02 Jan 2014 01:00:19 +0000

I’ve enjoyed reading Powers by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming for many years. The thing that initially attracted me to it was Oeming’s early art, which was clearly influenced by Bruce Timm. I came for the art, but stayed for the story and characters. The book has had its ups and downs over […]
