I Love Action Figures in Karate Outfits
(Many thanks to my friend Eddie for this awesome image above) The Martial Arts explosion of the early 1970s was not lost on action figures, growing up in this time, it gave me a lifelong obsession with the culture. It also turned out to be a real positive influence in my life, so I’ve decided […]

Palitoy Commander Power; Fearless Defender of the Galaxy
Fortune smiled on me last month in the form of managing to pick up a Commander Power action figure.
