Funkos: Are They Worth It?
Dear Vocal Readers, Oh, Funkos, what crazy collectibles these little things have become. Now, you may dabble in the Funko arts and have a few, or you may be a Funko Junkie who has a serious hoarding collection going on. Or, you could be a Funko hater and think these are just some ridiculous little figures. Where do I land on this scale? Well, I'm bordering on Funko Junkie. With a total of 16 Funkos currently, I am just a wee bit obsessed with these little guys.

Best Places to Buy Your Disney Merchandise!
Welcome all Disney nerds, fans, and nuts! As an avid Disney fan, I am constantly on the lookout for stores to shop for new and exciting Disney Merchandise. Clothes, home decor, collectables, you name it. I blow my paycheck on it. Every country and area may be different. I am in Canada and find a good selection. However the USA tends to carry WAY more cool Disney merchandise. I would love to know what places have the best stuff, where you like to find your gear, and if prices vary often.

Magic the Gathering
Magic the Gathering is probably my favorite game of all time. I thoroughly enjoy the gameplay, the collecting aspect and the social interactions. We have a local card shop that does a fantastic job advertising, providing play space and catering to the needs of players of all levels. I have quite the extensive collection and have enjoyed being a member of the magic community for quite some time.

Action Figure Review
Mattel Basic Series SummerSlam 1992 British Bulldog Everyone's favourite Manc The 'problem' with The British Bulldog (A.K.A. Davey Boy Smith) is that I could write about him forever. This guy single-handedly got me into professional wrestling. I remember watching him make his way down to the ring with Winston. His Union Jack cape proudly on display. As a young, British fan watching an all American 'sport'...he was a perfect (and instant) role model. Not only did we Brits have a legit awesome superstar represent us in the ring...but he was northern too! He may not have been technically gifted in the ring, but what he brought to the squared circle (& a generation of fans and superstars) is something never to be replicated again. His stand out moment was SummerSlam 1992. It has gone down as one of the best ever. Huge credit has to go to Bret 'The Hitman' Hart (we all know he carried the match, and so did Davey Boy Smith) but that match for the Intercontinental Championship was a milestone moment for UK wrestling fans (and future British based wrestlers). This Basic Series figure by Mattel captures DBS from that glorious night, so let's take a look and see if the toy giants did him justice.

'Steppen' On Up: 'Justice League' Toys Give Our Best Look At Steppenwolf Yet
It looks like the DCEU is preparing to come together (right now) and put all its superhero eggs in one basket with the upcoming Justice League. Fresh off the back of Wonder Woman's critical acclaim, hopes are high that Geoff Johns and co. can deliver DC's equivalent of the Avengers and give their own expanded universe a kick up the backside.

The Magical Chair J.K. Rowling Wrote Harry Potter In Sells For $400,000
