My case of the Series 1 regulars showed up from CSC yesterday, so I busily spent my Tuesday evening snapping pics and writing reviews! Click over to the Indie section to check out Apollo, Hot Dog, and both versions of Six. w00t!
Wow. I didn’t see this one coming. Action Figure Insider has scooped the latest release from Mattel for inclusion in the DCUC line and it’s… Lightray!? Bah?! I know very little about this character, other than that he belongs to the “New Gods” pantheon. Guess I’m gonna have to do some Google research! There’s no word yet as to when or where we’ll see him. I’m guessing this is just a teaser for NYCC which is this weekend. I’m all atwitter with anticipation!
Admittedly, I don’t really know what Attacktix is and I didn’t bother to google it. I guess it’s some kind of heroclix type board game? In any event, I received an email from the fans of Attacktix asking me (as the prestigious administrator of an oh-so-awesome toy news site) to spread the word about their petition to save this line, which apparently has been put on “hiatus” by… you guessed it, Hasbro! (more…)
Did you guys know that Diamond Select Toys is making superarticulated Battlestar Galactica figures?! I didn’t until recently. In fact, it’s only been in the last couple of weeks that I started watching the show and I’m completely hooked. So, naturally, I just had to hunt down the figures. I’ve got pics and reviews up for the exclusives from Series 1 here. I’m anxiously awaiting the rest of Series 1 to arrive from CSC some time next week. Yay!
Good grief! Spawn.com just put up the full coverage of series 3 of their Halo 3 line - complete with a full listing all the different Spartan armor permutations, paint colors, and store exclusives. It’s a tad overwhelming (14 different Spartans, 11 of which are exclusives…)! The standard figures will include a new Brute “War” Chieftain, the Jackal Major, the Flood, yet another Master Chief, and the first Elite Multi-Player fig. But beyond that, we’ll see hoards of Spartans. Hoards!
There’s really no sense in me even trying to list all the different armor types and colors. You’ll just have to click the link. The bummer is that several of these are going to difficult (impossible) to get. Especially the international exclusives that won’t be available in the U.S. It’s like McFarlane is just trying to make this line frustrating for completists!
