It also comes with a reprint of Secret Wars #9, but neither Hawkeye nor Piledriver show up in that issue. Well, now on with the review. Please note this review is for both figures, so I will...

As Jack Nicholson uttered those words tonight as I watched the Batman (1989) movie, I was asking myself that very same question and I couldn’t help but smile. Let me go back a bit……… I was checking out the Internets today and noticed that the Con powerhouse to rule them all at San Diego Comic Con announced the toy giveaways for this year.

If you have been reading Comic Impact for sometime now you know that I LOVE IRON MAN! He is hands down my favorite Marvel character of all time. Since I was a kid I was in love with all his bad ass armor, and one of the  first things I told myself when the Iron Man movie was in the works was that Marvel would grace us with a bunch of action figures in cool armor. I was right about that, as there has been a lot of Iron Man movie figures with variations on the armor. In this weeks Figure Friday we’re going to take a look...

I  was just reading Amazing Spider-Man #596 and there was an add for the Nick Fury action figure I’ve been harping on here at Comic Impact. Apparently Marvel has pulled back a bit on the requirements to get this figure as you only need to pay for a 3 month subscription to Marvel Digital Comics instead of a full year. It is still a lot of money for what was going to be a free figure, but it looks like Marvel has updated their site with the optional 3 month subscription option after I posted my previous two blogs on the...

So the other day we had a talk about the Nick Fury 3 3/4″ Marvel Universe figure by Hasbro that you can get for free.
