The Golden Compass opened last week, and surprisingly, the world hasn’t come to an end. There are some great toys shipping with the film though, great enough that Michael actually likes them BETTER than the movie. When was the last time that happened? He can’t remember, but that might be the old age setting in. Check out his review of the two armored bears, Iorek and Ragnar!

I like my comics the same way I like my women – independent. Marvel Toys likes them independent too, and are producing the Legendary Comic Book Heroes based on them. Today I’m looking at Savage Dragon, Judge Dredd and Ripclaw, and they should make the fans of the comics very happy…
