| 3620 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Correction by the author: I incorrectly identified Kenner as the manufacturer of this toy line, when in fact is was produced by Mattel. | Dec 21, 2016 |  | |
| 3509 | Article | Vaporman87 | Sectaurs had a cool enough novelty going for it, with the hand puppet insects and the cool character designs. But in the end they just felt like a toy line full of Buzz-Off's relatives. Which really isn't that enticing... no offense to Buzz-Off. It is nice to see so much effort go into creating worlds and interesting characters for the line. That is something that was still a novel idea at the time. Most companies would have settled for half baked and overused plots and stories. Nice to see that such a thing didn't happen here. | Action Figure Comics Review - Sectaurs | Apr 11, 2016 | |
| 3508 | Article | Vaporman87 | Great review of the comic series, Hoju. I think my problem with most comic book series spawned from a toy line that ALSO had a cartoon series, was that I didn't like being confused with all the different character and story elements. Many times you would have pretty big differences in the cartoon and the comics. Origin stories would differ, character attributes would differ, and character personalities might not always be consistent between them. This was really an issue with the He-Man and the MOTU line. The mini-comic world greatly differed from the cartoon world. There were so many differences that you just had to decide which it was that you were going to base your playtime off of. | Action Figure Comics Review - Visionaries | Apr 11, 2016 | |
| 3512 | Article | Hoju Koolander | There actually seemed to be quite a bit of consistency between this comics interpretation, the cartoon pilot and the toy makers on this one, which was pretty impressive. The toys themselves were just too similar, unlike MOTU that had such varied character designs. | Action Figure Comics Review - Visionaries | Apr 11, 2016 | |
| 3503 | Article | Vaporman87 | This captures the whole Virtual Reality craze SOOO well. It is indeed laughable to think back on what we considered to be "virtual reality" in those early days. I never really experienced anything, even still today, that I could consider to be authentic virtual reality. But we are certainly getting closer than ever. What with Google and many other tech companies presenting their futurewares that will produce images from the gear on your face that "adhere" to the surfaces around you, and so forth. We could be fast approaching the style of virtual reality that we thought we would get from films like Lawnmower Man. Time will tell. | Virtual Reality | Apr 06, 2016 | |
| 3499 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | I vaguely remember this block. I love watching the old Nickelodeon commercials from the era. | Long Lost 90s: Nick in the Afternoon | Apr 01, 2016 | |
| 3504 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Stick Sticky made my 90's summers memorable as well. I always wanted the spinner to land on Salute Your Shorts. | Long Lost 90s: Nick in the Afternoon | Apr 07, 2016 | |
| 3544 | Article | SockofFleagulls | I watched alot of Nickelodeon through the early 90s and can't remember Stick Stickly for the life of me. I loved watching the kids game shows at that time like Make the Grade, Nick Arcade, and Legends of the Hidden Temple. | Long Lost 90s: Nick in the Afternoon | Dec 08, 2016 | |
| 3491 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. I had heard of Ryan Leaf a few times, but did not know he was such a complete and utter failure. LOL. That's just pathetic. I do hope he manages to scrape together some kind of halfway decent existence, but it certainly does look like he needs to do a lot of work on himself before that can happen. Great piece Rick. | Washed Up Celebrities: Ryan Leaf | Mar 28, 2016 | |
| 3494 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | Thanks Vaporman! | Washed Up Celebrities: Ryan Leaf | Mar 28, 2016 | |
