...humans and dinosaurs lived side by side. That's what's shown in the Sight & Sound Theatres retelling of Genesis 1-4, anyway! In this review several attractions in Lancaster County, PA, we highlight the absurdity of it all. (9/19/08)
Barack Obama's been many things: community organizer, professor, senator, presidential candidate... and now he's even a novelty action figure! Read on for a closer look at the 6-inch representation of an inspiring leader. (9/8/08)
Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #105!
When you're pregnant and your water breaks, it's a good idea to get yourself to a hospital pronto -- but tell that to Sarah Palin! In Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #105, we mock the governor's irresponsible actions. (9/8/08)
FERVID FASHIONISTA FIXATION!!!
It's time for more Sarah Jane Smith Fashionista Fever! In Mickey's third installment, we see the lovely Miss Smith don everything from pink sailor suits to stained Victorian linens. Quite an eclectic sense of style, eh? (9/3/08)
Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #104!
Sarah Jane Smith may have been a shrieking pushover in the 1970s, but -- as she's demonstrated on "Doctor Who" and "The Sarah Jane Adventures" -- she's learned how to fight since then! Davros is not impressed. (9/3/08)
Although we've billed this as a sticker review, our analysis of these appalling adhesives mostly details our thoughts about the new Madballs depicted on them. And how could we not? They're delightfully disgusting! (8/11/08)
Last time, the Doctor unwittingly solved a puzzle box... one that summoned those otherworldly entities known as the Cenobites. How will he avoid the taste of their pleasures? Find out in "The Doctor's Demons" Part 2! (8/11/08)
The Doctor is brilliant -- and in Dusty Plastic HELL #7A, we see just how brilliant when he tackles a puzzle box that relatively few people have been able to solve! But success with puzzle boxes is not always desirable... (8/3/08)
Or maybe not in your Happy Meal, since apparently we've failed to post this in time for you to catch the McDonald's "Transformers Animated" promotion. Don't feel too bad, though -- mini-Lugnut is kinda lame. (7/29/08)
"Wolverine and the X-Men" will be hitting Nicktoons in 2009, but in the meantime he's starring solo in his very own Crayon Haiku! We think he's a bit overdressed for the occasion, but are you gonna tell him that?! (7/29/08)
Mickey Glitter is back with more funky fashion analysis in Sarah Jane Smith Fashionista Fever! Part Two -- in which we see that Sarah actually developed a sense of style in the company of the Fourth Doctor. Rejoice! (7/18/08)
CVS2 MAI SHIRANUI & CHUN-LI!!!
Although the SDCC 2005 Exclusive Capcom vs SNK 2 Mai & Chun-Li 2-pack was a "limited" set, it's still fairly cheap and easy to find. Yes, it's a risky purchase due to quality concerns... but those sculpts sure are lovely. (7/18/08)
In A Crayon Haiku #80, we welcome an awesome new addition to the action figure collection. Pink elephants may be feared by some people, but here at Scary-Crayon we love them... even if they're not what you covet. (7/18/08)
...and Mickey's more than up to the task of critiquing her various outfits in the first installment of Sarah Jane Smith Fashionista Fever! How did Sarah Jane go from fashion boring to fashion funky? It all started here. (6/27/08)
In "Turn Left" of "Doctor Who" Series 4, we see a future in which the Doctor died in 2006 -- and given how many alien threats he's thwarted since then, it's not surprising that things kinda suck. So does this episode. (6/27/08)
Seriously: whereas defects used to be relatively rare, too many toys today are plagued with sloppy paint jobs, stuck and/or broken joints, and other quality issues. So in What Happened to Quality Control?, we talk about it. (6/6/08)
Mega-monkey mania comes to a head as we conclude the King Kong action figure review! Climb on in for a look at the remaining 6" Playmates Kongs as well as the 15" figure from Mezco -- but mind the falling barrels. (6/2/08)
Jack Kirby's New Gods are currently enjoying a surge in popularity -- and to capitalize on that interest, DC Direct is releasing new action figures of these classic characters! Here, we review the New Gods Darkseid. (5/13/08)
