Goodness....Marvel Studios is really building up the anticipation! This trailer totally rocks. My favourite bit? Gotta be when Hulk flies up through the air and smashes an aircraft to smithereens!

Behold (picture above)...my 2012 'maiden' geeky haul! To be honest, I only really bought that Webstor (MOTU Classics) figure. The rest were birthday prezzies from my dear wife and a couple of my buddies! As if those were not enough, my wife further surprised me with a handful of comics (picture below) when I least expected it. Man, I'm one lucky geek!

The rest of you casual toy fans are welcome to join in the fun too.....well, if the subject of review does indeed makes sense at all to you!

Holy s**t!!! I knew there was a reason to wait and not grab the 1989 Bats figure! I'm pretty sure THIS Batman figure is gonna come with Michael Keaton's headsculpt! Please HT, give us a Selina Kyle (Michelle Pfeifer) headsculpt too!!! Looks like I'm gonna have to skip lunch for the next 7-8 months to get all 3 of these 1/6th figures! HT's gonna do the 1/4th scale figures too....but *meh*...I'll

A PVC transparency....thing.... for us to project the Bat-signal on our walls.....of course you gotta have a flashlight handy on your hands first! Not really necessary but a nice touch nevertheless. On the other hand, I can see why a number of fanboys are grumbling over this latest pic of the Bat...his belt is all wrong,

Now this is a no-brainer for most of us who'd missed the 1st release of the Mark I all those years ago. I purposely skipped that one because basically I wasn't too happy with the final Tony Stark headsculpt. It was pretty disappointing to say the least when I found out that they weren't gonna stick with the proto headsculpt. But this ver 2.0 is something else! Not only the armour looks a tad

Fancy a "Dark Vador" burger? How about a "Jedi" burger? Belgian fast-food chain "Quick" will be debuting these Sith/Jedi influenced burgers throughout France at the end of Jan '12, in conjunction with the release of The Phantom Menace 3D set to be premiered early Feb '12. I know....I know.....Dark Vador is CLEARLY a mis-spell from Darth Vader....but hey, maybe that's how they spell/pronounce it

I was strolling along a TRU near our IKEA (*hint...hint*) the other day with my wife and son when we stumbled across this comic pack. I was excited to finally see the X-Men First Class comic pack arriving at retail shelves here in Malaysia. As I was 'marveling' the figures (pardon the pun) of Marvel Girl & Cyclops, my wife immediately pointed out the glaring anomaly on the comic pack itself (

These have been circulating in the 'net days ago. I'm sure many would have read that HT's gonna 're-do' their 1/6th Robocop figure and probably do Cain (the villain from the 2nd movie) too. All I can say is.....thank you Hot Toys! You guys are gonna be expecting my hard-earn money real soon! On another note, I think the Red Skull figure's pretty wicked too. The thing is, if I ever decide to get

As mentioned earlier (more like during last year's post on the Mark V!), The Rebel Page's own geek-reviewer the_ridz got himself this excellent 1/6th Hot Toys Raiders of The Lost Ark: Indiana Jones action-figure about the same time he snagged his Mark V figure. I was there during the unveiling process and managed to snap some photos while he succumbed to his inner geek and hummed the Indy theme

Fancy these KRE-Os to grace your collection shelves? This has got to be the latest craze to hit town. It's appearing on retail shelves everywhere and I believe sales have been pretty good too since there were instances where I noticed that certain main characters were actually missing from the shelves. I happened to be at a particular retail store where they had just finished stacking up their

It's that time of the year again. This is when yours truly usually pledges to reduce certain 'over-addiction' towards a particular toy-line and foray into other plastic addictions for a change. You see, usually after a year of collecting, I'd probably realise that over the span of the past 12-months or so, my collection had skewed enormously (and subconciously) towards a certain type of toy-line

Let me just start the new year by sharing this interesting piece of geeky news! As expected, Hot Toys has finally given us their teaser picture of the upcoming 1/6th Iron man Mark 1 aka ver. 2.0. Many of us missed out on the Mark I when it first came out last time. I was a bit unconvinced with the Tony Stark headsculpt so I'm glad HT finally decided to present us with ver. 2.0. Excitingly,

Well, first of all pardon me for sharing such a 'back-dated' figure so late towards the end of the year (when I say late I mean most of you collectors have probably read reviews on this Hot Toys figure from other toy websites before!). But as they all say, there ain't any hard-and-fast rules about toy blogging nowadays. Heck, you can even blog about a toy that has been released a decade before

At first I was thinking...."Yawn, another Spiderman figure from Hot Toys!". Then I saw something special about this latest 1/6th offering. Something I wish they had done during their red-and-blue Spidey release. Had they included this piece of 'item' with the red/blue Spidey, I would've pre-ordered that in a heartbeat. Heck, now I'm even considering gettin' this latest HT Spidey figure! Read

What can I say.....I've been waiting for this movie to be realised since the last of the LOTR movies. I went over the book twice and realised that I've actually enjoyed The Hobbit more than the LOTR trilogy books.....well, partially due to the fact that there's gonna be a dragon involved in the story...*oops, did I just give away a spoiler plot to you  non-book readers? lol*.

Released two days ago. This should give us a taste of what's coming next July. Looks good! I can't fathom some of the comments on youtube though....there were some smarty-pants who commented that Nolan deviated from the comics by giving Bane an on-screen genius personae. What the heck man....it's already well-known that Bane is a super-strong villainous genius in the comics. Just because the

Saw the new 'Impossible movie two nights ago with my better half. Call it what you want....Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol or Mission Impossible 4, the movie still kicks a**!  Personally, I feel that this movie trumps the first 3 movies easily.

This figure in due to be released in Feb '12. I don't usually dig these Revoltech figures. Their excellent articulations aside, I just can't come to terms that their 5" scale doesn't really fit with any other toylines in most of our action figure collection (save for those few notable McFarlane 5-incher liek Halo figs etc.).

Watch this trailer and tell me it doesn't remind you of the action sequences taken off the 80s cartoon series! This is insane....it looks better than the first movie (Rise of Cobra) already!!! I can't believe it, we're finally getting a live-action film that is faithfully true to its 80s cartoon version....(are you listening Michael Bay?!!).

This teaser poster popped up on the 'net yesterday. Very "Inception-esqe" teaser poster....typical of Nolan. This promises a 'smashing' ending indeed! Is Bane (inevitably) going to break the Bat? Man, the wait is unbearable....June '12 is so far away!

Okay, so I know that many of you collectors have already picked up this excellent Hot Toys figure about a month ago or so. I only got mine a week ago. Naturally I was excited to finally get one of the most anticipated 1/6th action figure ever in the history of action-figure collecting!

Bought this sometime back but only recently found the time to do a proper photoshoot on it. Inevitably, a review was to follow suit before this figure disappears within the great Rebel Toy Vault....lol! Honestly, I wasn't too keen to get my hands on this Loki figure.

It's that time of the month again. Yeah....this is usually the time when I unleash my inner geek and snag a whole bunch of plastic 'crack' to satisfy my on-going cravings for action figures. Not many though this time around, but as you can probably guess from the picture above, the most significant from the lot is probably that huge 'S' shaped box with that certain recognisable DC superhero logo

This particular piece of the latest offering of a 'variant toy' by Hasbro was spotted by The Rebel Page's very own reviewer, the_ridz during his routine walkabout at our nearby TRU store. Take a look at the color scheme of "Cannon Force Ironhide" above. Man, what a disgrace! I mean, you can only go so far in milking the collectors, but to give Ironhide here a rubbish color scheme that is

Stumbled across these while making my rounds at 'Kino today. A must-have for any Star Wars enthusiast! But way overpriced in my opinion.

Hey everybody. I'm not feeling too quirky enough to open up the rest of my recent acquisitions and let alone to shoot photos or review them (*lazy-mode*). So what I'm gonna do here is to review one of my previous plastic acquisitions (in fact I have heaps of 'em just lying around waiting to be reviewed), the excellent MOTU Classics' Battle-Armor He-Man. I just can't believe that it took me SO

Here are some 'el purchaso' of mine towards the end of Oct '11. DC Direct Arkham Asylum figures For those who're familiar with the Arkham Asylum video game, you'd probably recognize that both The Joker and Harley Quinn were faithful representations of both characters as they'd appeared in the game. I am however, only interested in getting the villains as I feel that I already have an abundance

One of my favourite memories from the 80s was watching a certain Peter Weller playing one of the most iconic cyborg character of our time. I had the chance to buy the McFarlane figure many years ago but was then put-off by the lack of 'screen-accurate' look on that figure (I just hate it how the headsculpt proportion on that one looked a bit 'off'!). The articulations were pretty abysmal too if

Aptly called 'What Lies Ahead', the premier episode of The Walking Dead: Season 2 TV series kicked off last Sunday (in the 'States) with a record-shattering audience count.....7.3 million viewers! Come to think of it, I think it was only premiered in the US last Sunday, which means that the 7.3 million viewers were solely from North America alone! Well, thanks to high-speed broadband, we

Finally got myself Battle-Armor He-Man (after months of resisting!). Decided to get Leech too, considering that he'd probably NEVER get re-issued again due to his various issues & barrage of criticisms. Slime-blower Winston seemed like a must for me since Vigo the Carpathian's figure is coming out in Dec '11. Next, I got myself the Marvel Universe Steve Rogers (yup, it's Cap America sans his

Yup, that's right. It's plastered over at their facebook page. Although I'm yet to find any online reviews of the figure. Has it really been released over there in HK I wonder. Whatever it is, brace yerselves for the arrival of the figure anytime soon. I'm pretty excited that the headsculpt now looks more gnarly than the proto pictures we saw many months ago.

Those who've read my last posting would surely know that I hit the jackpot several days ago when I stumbled across a specialty toy store somewhere in town (I'm in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia by the way) that literally tried to 'dispose' these 3.75" movie Thor figures in one of its shelves. I had no intention to get these figures when the Thor movie came out several months ago, but the temptation of

Our resident reviewer, the_ridz (you might remember him for his awesome review of the AT-AT and went on to do countless other reviews for The Rebel Page since then) had gone berserk over the weekend and got himself a bunch of plastic goodies!

Steve Jobs (1955-2011) We lost a genius today. A true visionary that gave us the great Sillicon Valley and all those uber cool gadgetry under his Apple/Mac brand. Most importantly, to those who truly appreciate the beauty of 3D art, he gave us Pixar, which was responsible for all those wonderful 3D animation flicks. From all of us here at The Rebel Page....rest in peace, Steve.

Gosh, how long has it been since the heydays of the classic 80s cartoon days?

"Captain America: The First Avenger" tells the story of the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) volunteers to participate in an experimental

Honestly, I thought these would NEVER reach Malaysia. Nevertheless, here they are....on retail shelves too at that! I only want that Death Star trooper so it's kinda illogical for me to buy that "Villain" set (and get yet ANOTHER Vader for my collection) just to get him, though I won't really mind another Stormie! But what I really want is that "Rebel" set. Never had a 21-B droid and a Rebel

Yup, I finally succumbed to my evils and snatched the "Battle-blades" Optimus Prime from the Generations line. You see, while everybody was rushing to get the Dark of The Moon (DOTM) toys, I took a u-turn and began hunting for this particular Optimus instead. He is by far THE most accurate Voyager class 'movie' Optimus Prime made to date. The previous voyage Prime (the ROTF version) wasn't

This must be the BEST news on the planet today! Well, to us geeks and fanboys anyway...*shucks*. Hot Toys have released their teaser picture of the upcoming Chris Reeve Superman. Lookin' good I must say! I'm really liking it because: 1) Ain't no sign that it's a DX (it's a regular edition after all folks!), hence there's a good chance we won't be forced to pay heaps of cash for this baby! 2) The

For those who had been following my humble blog for a considerable period of time may or may not notice that column to the left of my blog page that says "Geeky action figure wish-list". As the name suggests, that is where I've listed a number of those action figures which had somehow rather eluded me in the past hence never made it into my collection as they should have been in the first place.

Today I'm gonna do a review on one of the most iconic character that has ever graced our television in the 80s. I guess those who had not heard about Optimus Prime but claimed they lived their formative years through the 80s must've spent their childhood in a cave or something. I remember when kids worldwide went berserk and wrote to Hasbro to tell them off for killing ol' Optimus during the '86

Many months ago when us Malaysian collectors were delightfully presented with the chance to collect the excellent DC figurines from the Eaglemoss line, I said to myself that I'd probably collect the very first figurines just for the fun of it, since I'm actually really looking forward to collect Marvel Eaglemoss figurines. Then, I took an about turn and decided to collect those within the JLA. It

Not sure whether the artist has other geeky cartoons lying around in his website....but these two comic strips made my day. Enjoy fellow geek blog readers!

Phooey! Been quite sometime since my last posting. Work has technically grasped me by the neck and I'm usually dead tired by the time I got home. Guess I have a lot of catching up to do from now on. Right, to deviate a bit from the usual toy reviews, today I just wanna talk about a Star Wars novel I've recently read. I've actually first blabbed about this novel way back in Sept '09. Since then

Echoing the sentiment mentioned by fellow blogger Dan, I too wish to express my grouse of not being able to find this piece of movie collectible out in the open as easy as it should be. I mean come on...Hot Wheels being scalped?! Reason being is that them scalpers are always on the move and seem to have way better first hand heads-up on the whereabouts of the Hasbro/Mattel restocking personnel

Oh thank God, they finally listened and changed Wonder Woman's blue boots to red just like we wanted them to be! Looks like the upcoming TV series will have an 'almost' accurate comic-version Wonder Woman! Take a look at the rehearsal slash shooting sequence in the video below.

Howdy doodly folks! I've actually had this figure for quite some time now on my Transformers display shelf. As I've probably mentioned about a bazillion time before, I'm quite the ardent fan of the Takara Tomy versions of these Transformers. Meaning that I'd most likely to get the 'United version rather than Hasbro's Generation version. Well, ol' Percy (that's short for Perceptor in case you

Here's a first look on Adrienne Palicki (who? I only know that she's a regular in that Friday Night Lights series or sumthin') as Wonder Woman from the upcoming NBC TV series. Of course fans are having mixed reactions to this new image. It's kinda like a hybrid between the classic costume and the new image given by DC comics to Wonder Woman last July. Her boots are glaringly wrong though.....

Taken off EW's page, here's the full picture of Hugo Weaving as the villainous Red Skull from the upcoming July-release Captain America movie!

My sudden re-ignited infatuation with these G1 Transformers continues this week with a review of Hasbro's Sergeant Kup from the Transformers: Generations line. Most G1 fans by now would know that Tomy Takara produces the 'bling-ed' up version of the same figures under the Transformers: United moniker (the line used to be called Henkei for those who remember).

I've mentioned about the all-new Thundercats animated cartoon series some time back, and I've also mentioned about how we were denied to having Mattel aka Matty collector to produce the action figures for us. Why Matty why?!! Why did ya' have to let the license slip to Bandai? I always believed we should give Bandai a chance and see what they could muster at their end. Who knows, Bandai might

Being a huge Tarantino fan, I snagged myself Hot Toys' Lt Aldo Raine 1/6 figure sometime back with the hope that Col Hans Landa would be as equally good to go alongside The Apache himself. However, Hot Toys did the unthinkable and gave fans a rather 'youthful' looking Hans Landa and a pretty inaccurate headsculpt at that too!

Unless you've been living in an underground cave where cable TV reception is but a mere myth, you must have heard about the latest series by FOX that premiered on Halloween '10 called The Walking Dead ("The 'Dead").

Maybe I had this coming, or maybe I didn't. But after re-watching the Back To The Future Trilogy (again) TWICE over the weekend, suddenly the 'usually-non-appealing' Hot Wheels section became so appealing because I remembered they came out with the 'normal' version of the famed DeLorean car used for time travelling throughout the films!

At one glance, one may mistakenly thought that the image above was taken off a picture album belonging to one lucky Star Wars fan way back in '83. This however is a brand new release from Hasbro under the "Kenner" tag to rekindle the nostalgic feelings amongst us Star Wars fans, especially those who were lucky enough to have had the original toy when it was first released all those years ago
