Green Goblin

I can tell you right now that most of my posts will be about Power Rangers, WoW, and Star Wars. Those are the lines that I'm most interested in, so it's only natural that I focus on them.

So when I include a toy from a different series, you should know that it really caught my interest! Like today's figure!


I love Green Goblin. He's the iconic villain from the Spider-Man series with a great mixture of crazy and genius (just like the Joker from Batman). I saw this figure mixed in with a bunch of Spider-Mans at Toys 'R' Us, and couldn't pass it up.

An Update! #1

I'VE FOUND IT!

Ever since I saw this toy was a thing, I've been looking for it.
And I am so happy to say that I've finally gotten it!

Mega Bloks World of Warcraft: Sindragosa & the Lich King

I have no idea how to introduce this thing. Obviously, I've been on a Mega Bloks kick so far. And this all started just before I created Figured Out. So, if I haven't been into LEGO since I was a kid and just now started getting back into it and Mega Bloks, I think it's safe to say that this is the first building blocks set that I've ever purchased myself. And, honestly, I think it's a pretty good first set. For, like, the last 10 years, when someone thinks of World of Warcraft, the Lich King comes to mind immediately. He's been a main antagonist in the Warcraft series since Warcraft III, and even though Wrath of the Lich King was the second expansion to WoW, the Lich King has always been in the background of the game. All that to say, I'm a nerd who likes Mega Bloks and WoW. So it makes complete sense that the first set I purchase is the one with the Lich King figure.

Power Rangers Megaforce Mini Battle-Ready Figures (Series 1)

So sorry about the long time between updates! My work schedule has been impossible lately, and today has been the first opportunity I've had to get back to Figured Out. So I'm gonna just jump right in.


Today's toy initially irritated me. I really dislike miniature versions of action figures clearly aimed at younger children. They're usually boring and a huge disappointment. But... well, I'll come back to this in a bit.

Darth Vader(s)!

Star Wars has been a huge part of my life since I was little. I collected Star Wars action figures long after my peers lost all interest in the franchise. At one point, I owned over 200 different action figures. But then, unfortunately, I grew up. I was moving soon, and I didn't have room for everything. And, I sort of lost interest... finally. So I threw most of my figures into a garage sale. But! I kept my favorites. 

When it all comes down to it, I'm pretty sure Darth Vader is my favorite Star Wars character. Sure, there are a handful of others that really got my attention, but Vader will always be in my heart. 

For my first Star Wars review, I've chosen two different but similar Darth Vader figures.

Power Rangers Action Card Game (Series 2 Guardians of Jusitce)

Very minor update today. The second installment of the Power Rangers Action Card Game became available for sale earlier this month, and I just wanted to include it on Figured Out. Basically the same exact thing as Series 1. The only change is the packaging. But like I said, pretty much more of the same, just adding 115 cards to the mix (I already have 111 of them).

Power Rangers Samurai

This week brings a double review, both toys from the Power Rangers Samurai series. Samurai and Super Samurai were the two previous Power Rangers seasons. And since they're likely the last Power Rangers toys from previous seasons that I'll be purchasing, I've decided to knock them out with one post.
