The Potential Return of Robotech

Have you supported these awesome Boss Fight Studios figures yet ?
The guys at Boss Fight are comprised of experienced sculptors from Hasbro, including working on my favorite line, G.I.Joe. They have plans for a wide range of genres for future figures but have started with a Spartans vs. Gorgons, Greek Myth theme. The figure sculpts look excellent and can be easily broken down for customs. Some of the stretch goals look amazing (a skeleton with all new parts, glow in the dark versions, blank customizer friendly bodies and more)
Check out their kickstarter HERE, and I’d really encourage you to invest, even if it’s just a dollar.

The potential return of the Skeleton Warriors
An officially licensed resurrection of the mid 90’s Skeleton Warriors franchise is up for your consideration on Kickstarter. You may remember the property from the creator of Captain Power, which was made up of a syndicated cartoon for one season, 6 comic issues, and a series of toys.
This kickstarter focuses on the lead bad guy Baron Dark. The Crew behind this kickstarter have had 3 successful Glyos based action figure kickstarters already.
You can find out more about the project from this interview they did with Moderately Geeky.
I was excited to hear that although Baron Dark is 5″ (as well as the skeletons, including the glow in the dark ones) that the line is in 4″ scale according to the toon as the skeletons were monstrous. I would prefer the scale be fudged and these be at 4″ but it gives me hope that if successfully 4″ human figures could be possible.
If your interested in picking up the ENTIRE Skeleton Warriors series on DVD it’s really cheap on Amazon.
Again, give their kickstarter a look HERE.
If you would like Skeleton Warriors to be the focus of a future Nerdversity 101 episode, let us know in the comment sessions.

I Am Elemental, Girl Friendly Action Figure Kickstarter (36 Hours Left!)
The folks being the I Am Elemental have a very specific goal in mind. They want to get more little girl friendly action figures to the market. Their campaign has already been fully funded but if you haven’t heard of them you may wish to check them out. There Kick starter is located HERE.
For even more information check out the creator’s interview on the Moderately Geeky Podcast HERE.
If I had a daughter, I think this would be an easy pick up. It’s a crowded landscape for the kickstarter action figure world at the moment, but even so these stand to me, and I’m not the target audience. While not reaching G.I.Joe or Marvel Universe levels of articulation, they have serviceable joints, and a unique look. Looking forward to seeing some reviews hit the web once these are shipped (and if you would like to one for us let me know)

Minecraft monday again, It’s a me- MARIO?
A great mod and a dream that many nerds have. The playful kid friendly Nintendo brands seem like a perfect fit for Minecraft. The 360 may have offered us official Skyrim and ME3 skins, but it’s Mario and Zelda we really want.

Aliens Snap Kit figure review
The Aliens snap Kit figures are around a decade old and where hard to get when they were first imported to the U.S. They had long been on my want list, and during the last Coil Con I ventured into the wonderful Kokomo Toys and found this guy sitting on the shelf.
Follow the pics of me putting this guy together as I review him after the jump. Continue reading
