Will Graham (Hannibal) Funko Pop


Poor Will. He just can't catch a break. In the show, Will Graham is played by the delightful Hugh Dancy and in the second season finds himself arrested for the cannibalistic murders committed by Hannibal Lecter. As a wonderful homage to Silence of the Lambs, Will is transported in a mask and straight-jacket, similarly to the iconic image of Anthony Hopkins.

Hannibal Lecter (Hannibal) Funko Pop!

I finally have him!


My wait is over. Yes friends, I've managed to find the Hannibal Funko Pops! It took me 3 stores and a little digging but Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham are mine. There was only 1 Hannibal left (stashed behind a box. Clearly someone else was hoping I wouldn't find him) and I still haven't seen the Wendigo in the flesh. So were they worth it?

Jaime Lannister (Game of Thrones) by Dark Horse

Welcome to my first review of the new year! I have a back log of things to talk about (Fan Expo swag, minimates, my ever growing Pop! problem) but I've decided to take a look at one of my favourite Christmas gifts. He's cocky, handsome, and has the bad habit of throwing children out windows. Today I'm reviewing Jaime Lannister by Dark Horse.

Top 5 Pop Lines That Will Break My Bank Account in 2015

Christmas is over and while I didn't actually receive that many toys (except for my gift exchange with Christina Articulates and her husband) I still have a ton of things to share with you in the upcoming weeks...but not today. With holiday craziness, family gathers, and visiting friends I haven't had much time to take pictures. Instead, I'm announcing my New Year's Resolution!

It's simple. My resolution is to make this blog bigger and better and actually update! I'm making a commitment. Done and done. And if I haven't posted in a while, feel free to yell at me over on Twitter.

It shouldn't be too hard to keep on track. By now, everyone is aware of my crippling Pop! problem and next year looks to be a disaster waiting to happen. As a New Year's treat, today I'm looking at...

Happy Holidays: Custom Family Bobble-heads!

Back in February, I mused about how the likelihood of having an action figure of myself was slim to none. Apparently I was wrong! This year my aunt and uncle decided to surprise my family with custom bobble-heads from Dolls2u.com They (quite suspiciously) had us each send them pictures of ourselves and although my brother figured out the surprise, the results were hilarious and amazing.

 Behold, the Nagel Family!

Join the Fan Expo Scavenger Hunt 2014!!

It's that time again. Fan Expo is nearly here and Christina Articulates  and I have decided create a little game...and we want everyone to play along. We've created a simple scavenger hunt to pass the time waiting in line an celebrate what makes a convention worthwhile.
We’d love to see people play along this weekend and post their own photos using #fanexpohunt (Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, whatever!) and we might use our favourites (credited of course!) on recaps posts on Christina Articulates and Talking Tiny Toys! Link us to your photos and follow us on social media to see what others post (Twitter & Tumblr). Be creative and join us!

Do you have a booth at Fan Expo this year? Drop either of us a line and we'll stop by to chat!

Rocket Raccoon (Guardians of the Galaxy) Funko Mystery Minis

As promised, today's review features a member of the rag-tag group of space rangers who took the summer by storm. Who says you can't make a successful blockbuster with a talking raccoon and a tree voiced by Vin Diesel? Guardians of the Galaxy proved that with a decent script, entertaining characters and a kick-ass soundtrack (and let's face it, the charisma of Chris Pratt) even the weirdest ideas can make a great movie. I almost cried over a tree! How is that possible? 

Of course, Funko is right on top of things and released a new line of Guardians of the Galaxy mystery minis that I was helpless to resist.  Who did I get?


*Insert epic 70s soundtrack here*
