Devastator Vs. Shipwreck
Toy Fair ’09 has confirmed two things, Transformers the movie is going to be totally awesome, and the G.I. Joe movie is going to tank! It looks like Devastator and Shipwreck will both be making appearances in summer blockbusters. When I was a kid, all I wanted was Devastator, the idea of taking toys and building one giant super toy, that blew my mind. So after months of pining away for that florescent Green and Purple giant, especially seeing my friends and neighbors playing with there own Devastators, jealousy begins to set in. Finally, my birthday arrives, what do I get? Muthafuckin Shipwreck!

"What does this cover need? ... hmm, more veins!"

RZA / Bobby Digital Action Figure (Skyfarm Studios)
by ilango on Feb.06, 2009, under Nerdery
"Rzarecta, Raaah, Like a Bat in the Night about to take Flight!"
With NYCC just around the corner, Skyfarm Studios is releasing a series of action figures based on everyone’s favourite wu-tanger, The RZA. Which is great, I finally have something to put next to my GFK Doll. Maybe I can even re-enact some of there greatest battles.
I’ve always been a big Wu fan, not so much a fan of Wu tie-ins. I would invest in Wu-Financial though… diversify your bonds!
About the RZA action figure:
- Stylized RZA likeness
- Seven points of articulation including multiple ball joints
- Two katana blades
- 6.75″
About the BOBBY DIGITAL action figure:
- RZA likeness with mask
- Seven points of articulation including multiple ball joints
- “Digital” robot arm
- “Flying Guillotine” weapon with chain
- 6.75″
- Both figures masterfully crafted by Paul Harding
About the Attack of the Brooklyn Super Ninjas comic:
