Batmobile Automobilia From Eaglemoss – Because The Chicks Dig The Car
Mar 8th
For the last 13 years Eaglemoss Ltd has been wow-ing fans with their various licensed lead figurine partwork lines. Their latest line is called Batman Automobilia, featuring, you guessed it, Batmobiles (and a few other Bat named means of transportation)! These vehicles are 1:43 scale and die cast. Along with the overall review of this current product line, I will also specifically be reviewing Batmobile #3 in the series, the recent release of the 2005 Batman Begins Tumbler.

Reviewing Steampunk In James Blaylock’s Newest Novel, The Aylesford Skull
Jan 16th
The Aylesford Skull by James P. Blaylock
A 425-page work of fiction, published by Titan Books
While sitting in my local coffee shop last week, getting ready to read the newest book from steampunk legend James P. Blaylock, I had no idea what I was getting into.
