Titanium Series War Within Optimus Prime vs the Alpha Pack ST-01

Transformers War Within Optimus Prime and Son
Presenting a size comparison pictorial between the Transformers Titanium Series War Within Optimus Prime and the Spark Toys Alpha Pack ST-01 War Within Optimus Prime.

We're still on a writing hiatus and debating whether or not we shut this blog down, but we had a wonderful conversation with a fellow collector a few weeks back and he said that he encountered a few friends who did not believe that there was a smaller version of the Alpha Pack ST-01 War Within Optimus Prime.

So to his friends, here he is: The Transformers Titanium Series War Within Optimus Prime.

Father and son.

Suicide Squad - someone left the anti-heroes in the rain (Spoilers)

Suicide Squad
Margot Robbie as Suicide Squad's Harley Quinn
My thoughts on Suicide Squad.

Right of the bat, let me just say that it is no as bad as the critics make it out to be - it certainly does not deserve a 37% on Rotten Tomatoes, it's also not fair to say that it is worse than Green Lantern or the latest Sony F4 debacle - but you do have to leave your brain at the door.

Suicide Squad was written and directed by David Ayer (Fury, Training Day), and stars:
  • Margot Robbie (The Legend of Tarzan, The Wolf on Wall Street) as Harley Quinn
  • Jared Leto (Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream) as the Joker
  • Will Smith (The Pursuit of Happiness, Independence Day) as the racially bent Deadshot
  • Cara Delveningne (Pan, Paper Towns) as the Enchantress
  • Jai Courtney (Terminator Genisys, Divergent) as Captain Boomerang
  • Joel Kinnaman (Robocop, Run all Night) as Colonel Rick Flagg
  • Viola Davis (Enders Game, How to get away with Murder) as Amanda Waller
  • Karen Fukuhara as Katana
  • Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Oz, Thor: The Dark World) as Killer Croc
  • Ben Affleck as Batman (Batman versus Superman, Daredevil)
  • Jay Hernandez as Diablo (Crazy Beautiful, Hostel)
  • Adam Beach (Windtalkers, Flags of our Fathers) as Slipknot
