Unboxing Spin Master Black Adam Action Figures!

Spin Master Black Adam toy line might see a second wave of products, but no confirmation has been made.

Spin Master Black AdamMerchandise for the Black Adam movie is nearly everywhere these days, and that’s mostly due to the huge push to make this film succeed. Say what you will if it is tanking or not, but the fans love it! I firmly believe it’s a fun movie to watch for the wrestling fan. As for the comic book enthusiast, my movie review says it all, and it won’t stop me from wanting to own any Spin Master Black Adam product that comes my way. I went out of my way to collect everything How to Train Your Dragon from this company when that was hot!

This new toy figure line comes in different sizes, and I got to take a look at the 12″ collection! There’s more products to be found at the toy store, but in the meantime, I have this unboxing video and a commercial demonstrating the Power Punch edition in action.

For more information about the toy line, please read our post announcing its release here:

The DC League of Super-Pets is All Bark, Little Bite

As for which team will save the day in The DC League of Super-Pets, that’s not too hard to guess.

DC League of Super-Pets

The DC League of Super-Pets isn’t anything spectacular when considering who is behind the attempt to deconstruct the Justice League. This movie is not as appealing for comic book fans, since its designed for kids to enjoy.

I didn’t feel the need to watch this movie right away. Not even Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson can convince his legions of fans to see this film since he’s in the starring role. He voices Krypto, Superman’s ever faithful canine. When his master (John Krasinski) is ready to propose to Lois (Olivia Wilde), the dog feels underappreciated and gets jealous.

The writing team of Jared Stern and John Whittington have crafted a better tale than LEGO Batman because it’s not pandering. I had to chuckle as his chunky physique, and that’s not because he’s overweight. All the superheroes are redesigned to look like caricatures of what they represent. Unlike Ninjago the Movie, the dialogue isn’t as juvenile. What’s developed here is more natural, and shows some understanding of the lore from the comics.

Quick Takes on The Black Adam Trailer Release

Dwayne Johnson’s transition from The Scorpion King to Black Adam is perfect to show just how powerful this warlord has become.

Black AdamDwayne Johnson‘s transition from The Scorpion King to Black Adam is perfect to show just how powerful this warlord has become. Technically, they’re not the same character, but I can see the similarities. Both vagabonds were determined to destroy, if not rule the world by the sword.

I’ve been eager for this release for a super long time. It doesn’t matter anymore if all the Egyptian references are stripped. The costuming proposes a similar type of world and I suspect there’ll still be some references to this Ancient world set in another planet far, far away. And as for who Adam sold his soul to (after his son’s sacrifice) for immortality, there’s no clues in this trailer. It definitely isn’t Anubis!
