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)
Thanks to the divine forces of randomness and impulse, the ad pictured in A Crayon Haiku #79 finally makes its amazing debut! Which really isn't so much amazing as it is disturbing. People got paid to make this? (5/13/08)
And they just keep on coming! The Legion of Doom gains yet another evil member in A Crayon Haiku #78. There's yet another bonus haiku as well, though this one is about things lost rather than gained. So sad. (5/13/08)
Heroes, heroes, whatcha gonna do... whatcha gonna do when the Legion of Doom comes for you?! Behold the state of the wicked team in A Crayon Haiku #77 -- along with a bonus Salvation Run-related haiku. (5/1/08)
Thirty years after her stint with the Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith returns in "The Sarah Jane Adventures"! And to make an enjoyable program even more fun, we've created a drinking game you can play while you watch. (4/11/08)
King Kong returns to Scary-Crayon -- this time in the first of a two-part Kong figure review! Here, we look at three of the 6" Kongs as well as the 11" Roaring Kong. Don't be fooled: some Kongs are better than others! (4/7/08)
In A Crayon Haiku #76, Jimmy rightfully blasts Clark for rejecting Chloe on "Smallville". Sure, it's the Silver Age Jimmy Olsen figure and Clark hasn't actually become Superman on the show, but it's still a valid jab. (4/7/08)
Yeah, we missed April Fool's Day last year, but we did get a quick commemorative gag off for 2008 -- our pal Bacardi eating to a fun banjo tune! If you haven't seen it (or want to check it out again!), you know where to click. (4/1/08)
In this awesome guest review, Tresob Yr of the Star Wars Action Figure Theater gives us a firsthand look at the unlicensed Kabaya Transformer Metroplex model. There's even a bonus mini-comic, so check it out! (3/18/08)
Do you realize that three of the last five haikus have been about Grodd? Including this one, make that four out of the last six -- 'cause that evil man-eating ape is back again in A Crayon Haiku #75! Fear the super-gorilla. (3/18/08)
We're convinced that "Smallville" is the worst live-action show based on a comic book superhero to date -- that JLA pilot can't be worse -- yet we've still been watching it lately. Why, you ask? The answer is simple. (3/3/08)
Why does the DC universe have so many gorillas?! In A Crayon Haiku #73, we see the latest Kong destined to join the ranks of our DC roster. It's only a matter of time before we get to Solovar and the Ultra-Humanite. (2/26/08)
The new Series 2 Madballs aren't in stores yet -- but since Basic Fun was kind enough to send us a preview set, we're bringing you an advance review! This wave has its pluses and minuses, but the kids should dig it. (2/18/08)
