Review: NYCC Transformers: Prime Frist Edition Bumblebee and Arcee

Image
SO it is time for my 1st action figure review and it is The New York Comic Con Exclusive Transformers: Prime 1st Edition Bumblebee and Arcee. I picked this up from this up from Hasbrotoyshop.com .  I ordered this for 3 reasons: 1 the G1 deco Arcee. 2 i wanted to see the Jack and Raf, and reason 3 I will share at a later date. Package Ok so let talk about the Packaging for this set. I really like the package after i removed the bubble and the plastic that held the figures I'm using it as a display for these figures. it comes with cardboard building with the Light forming an N a Y and the Autobot symbol. The in the back ground you can see both Megatron and Starscream on top of a building Arcee Vehicle Mode: Arcee's vehicle mode is a pink motorcycle    The detail on the bike is just amazing. The Sculpt alone makes this a beauty. her weapons are stored on the sides of the bike but do not take away from the bike. They look as though the belong there Now you can al...

Stop S.O.P.A.

Today blog is not related to anything nerd. Today it is about a bill in congress that is called S.O.P.A. or Stop Online Piracy Act. Now I heard about this while watching an escapist review of The Muppets. so I look it up on the Google and here is what I found out The bill's goal is simple stop online piracy however to do that the U.S government would have the power to make search sites like Google and Yahoo! remove the site from its searches and make payment processors like PayPal stop business with any site it finds committing piracy. The Bill has good intention but to quote an old adage the path to hell was paved with good intentions. This bill violates two freedoms the freedom of speech and the freedom of information. The U.N. declared the internet a human right and I agree with them because this bill would restrict that right. So in short I ask you to contact you Congressmen and implore them to vote down this bill. if you don't know who your congressmen is then go to http:/...

In Brightest Day or Was it Blackest Night

So I come home from work (yes I'm working now so blogs are less frequent but not stopping like with school) and I sat down and watched my Friday cartoons on my DVR and among the new Young Justice and ThunderCats  is the 1 hour premier of Green Lantern: The Animated Series. So I watched and a studied it as I looked on to this story that follows two of the more popular GLs Hal "High Ball" Jordan and GL Drill Sargent Kilowog. The story is pretty basic to start with a GL is killed and 18 months later (I'll get to that one in a bit) his ring shows up during a disciplinary action hearing for Hal. The Lantern killed is not a lantern of the 3000 know sectors if space but from what the show calls the frontier sectors so far away that it takes 18 months at top flight speed. So Hal and Wog "borrow" a prototype star cruiser and head out their to check in on these frontier lanterns and find out who is killing them. during this mission they meet the newly formed Red ...

I will start this off by say I'm back and will be blogging on a more semi regular basis and second that the blog is going from a Gaming to Pop/Nerd Culture blog and now on with are show   Now this month GameInformer's cover story was on the recently announced War for Cybertron (read the review here )  sequal Fall of Cybertron. I was really shocked with this and I followed the coverage closely through the hub at gameinformer.com . Now this is awesome and I looking forward to the game but what got me really exited was that the dinobots will be playable in this game. Now I don't know about you but for that alone I'm sold. here is my fav cover art for this GameInformer So with this I headed to my favorite wiki for all things Transformers TFWiki.net and I looked up WFC and saw that it falls in canon with the New Hub cartoon Transformers Prime and what being called Aligned continuity family. This canon includes may things The Games WFC and FOC, the novels by Alex Irvi...
