Hello again my friends and welcome back to some more coverage from the New York Comic Con for 2022. So as I’ve just wrapped up the Day Three visuals, I wanted to pause for a moment and shine the spotlight on two of my favorite companies. As you know, the PiercingMetal outlet has been going to the Toy Fair since 2011 but pandemic pauses and changes found it being moved to the Fall of next year. With no Toy Fair in 2022, it made good sense to visit the toy companies we know well and lend them some love. This post features some visuals from both NECA and Playmobil. I’ll start with NECA and if you are only just now joining us and want to see the full NYCC presentations from the beginning just click HERE to do that.

As I’ve noted in a number of postings on the websites companion blog “PiercingMetal Musings”, we are BIG fans of the comic book medium here at the Metal Command HQ and that same mentality applies to any big budget film that relates to the stuff. A few short weeks ago saw the release of “Iron Man 2” from Marvel Studios and this is the third film in what is proving to be a wonderful connected universe. It stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man if you are not up to speed and he is perfect for the role. It’s been super cool to see this character on the big screen and I remain hopeful about what is coming down the creative pike from the studio. Now this review is not about the film but the soundtrack that accompanies it since it’s a collection of AC/DC tunes and in some sense can be considered a sequel to their “Who Made Who” album. That was a Greatest Hits Compilation for a film called “Maximum Overdrive” and I should admit that while I own the CD I never, ever saw the film. Let’s go over what is to be found on this release.
