Welcome to the first edition of a little column that I like to call “Heroes and Villains of the Week.” In this (hopefully) weekly column, I’ll be giving a thumbs up or a thumbs down to items from the world of popular culture. Since “thumbs up and thumbs down” are copyrighted, and since I was looking for something that would work well with Alter Ego Comics, I’ve settled on heroes and villains. So, here we go…
Hero: Sideshow Collectibles, for their wicked cool Toht 12 inch action figure.
Villain: Master Replicas, for delaying most of their products, (including the Halo Energy Sword), until 2009.
Hero: Kotobukiya, for releasing their Incredible Hulk Movie Fine Art Statues ahead of schedule.
Villain: DC Comics, for the twisted mess that was Batman: RIP.
Villain: Diamond Select Toys, for going with a repaint, (Pilot Episode Sulu), instead of a new figure in their Star Trek TOS line.
See ya next time.
