Power Rangers Lightning Collection – Lord Zedd Review

Michael Lederhos

Hasbro’s line of collector’s focused Power Rangers action figures, known as the Lightning Collection, has started to make its way out to fans. While the street date is officially April 22nd or May 1st (Depending where you look), Amazon began delivering Lord Zedd to some of those who pre-ordered it. Luckily, one of those orders belonged to Hero Club’s own Soundout12 who has presented a review for us today. Almost guaranteed to be the hardest to find figure of the first wave, Lord Zedd looks striking in his packaging and cuts a very striking silhouette, but how is…

Michael Lederhos

Welcome to Soundout12’s brand-new Model Kit Monday! The series is back from a long hiatus and this week we’ll be looking at the HGUC Sinanju Stein (Narrative Ver.). This kit was released in October 2018 for 2800 yen/ $32.99 and is based upon the Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative film. The Sinanju Stein was used by the primary antagonist of the movie, Zoltan Akkanen and the kit reuses most of its parts from the HGUC Sinanju. That being said, there’s a lot of great engineering involved with the building of the kit itself and this ends up being quite unique. Check out the video review…

In 2007 it was a pretty scary point in time for the Transformers, seeing as Transformers: Cybertron ended its run the year prior, there was no major presence for the franchise. Then with the release of the 2007 movie, things changed overnight as the film was a success and led to various sequels and new animated series. However, over the course of following 11 years since the Transformers made their first live-action debut it has turned out to be a crazy ride. With the success of the first movie, each…

Here we are at the end of 2018, its had its ups and downs as the days passed but one of those ups was the Marvel Legends 2018 lineup.

Michael Lederhos

Here we are folks, the end of the first season of Titans. After a season where half the episodes were detours away from the main plot, should we be too surprised that the season finale is one as well? Not really, but without any further delay, let’s dive into Titans Episode 11 “Dick Grayson.”   [Warning: The following review contains several spoilers]   I got to give credit to the DC Universe marketing team, as I saw advertisements everywhere for this episode. Why all that extra effort? Batman; the answer is…
