Spotlight: Flash Gordon Action Figures by Bif Bang Pow!

It’s been a good summer for me and new toys, as two lines based on retro properties came out and tickled my fancy (better than last summer’s zero).

Flash Gordon and Bif Bang Pow! Team Up Again!

From the “Hell and Yes” department, my friends at Bif Bang Pow have announced that they are righting a toy wrong. Like a lot of people my age, I was permanently scarred by the fact that I could never find 3 3/4″ Flash Gordon figures to play along side my Star Wars and Black Hole […]
