MUReview.net Is Moving….to SOCIAL MEDIA! As of April 8, 2024

MUReview.net Is Moving….to SOCIAL MEDIA! As of April 8, 2024

The time is here, after our very first post in July of 2011, we are going to turn the lights off at our Internet home for nearly 14 years as of April 8, 2024.

We will be moving fully to our socials:

We plan to continue providing all the fun we do here, in a little bit more of a free form, more pictures, less words, more interaction, less annual massive bill to pay for the hosting of these sites.  If you haven’t already followed us for great content at the above links, please take the opportunity to do so now.

Saying goodbye to the pretty expansive library of work that we have put together over 14 years isn’t an easy thing to do, and we do not make this decision or move lightly.  But it is time to adapt to changing landscapes

Thank you to everyone who has been on the journey with us so far.  Thank you to all of the amazing toy companies we have gotten the chance to work with over the years, those that sent us stuff, sent us places, that we got to meet, that we got to become friends with.  That we got to talk toys with, to name a few, Diamond Select Toys, Hasbro, Valaverse, Spin Master, PLAYMOBIL, Playmates, DC, Marvel, McFarlane.  To our sponsors for more than a decade, BigBadToyStore.com, still, beyond the best place to buy your toys on the Internet, run by some of the best people I know!

Also thank you to some great friends we’ve made along the way, @KastorsKorner @YfNJman @fanboyfactor @geeksagainst. Truly the best part of our little corner of the Internet is the friends we got to make!

I hope to drag that list and more, kicking and screaming with us into the brave new world (ha!!) of social media.  Again, thank you all for taking any time you took to come and visit us, to read our stuff, to view our pictures, to like, subscribe, comment.

We started this site with Marvel, we have had a hard focus on G.I. Joe and Action Force as of late.  So what’s the last thing to say here? A curveball?

Till all are one!

PS – While we are leaving our hosting, we are maintaining our domains, so all you shady squatters out there, #nope
