Just in via our sponsor BigBadToyStore we have a new official image of the Transformers Generations Metroplex Titan Class figure. Get a look at his little buddy Scamper in a swell action post. The figure is being released as a Hasbro and a Takara version with different paint applications on the two figures as we have some to expect. These figures are sure to go fast, so keep an eye on the site here for the sightings of the Hasbro version. You can preorder the Takara Tomy version now at bigbadtoystore.com

Since the previous announcement of John Santagada's upcoming vinyl toy project "Radioactive Uppercut" (Facebook), Niall Anderson aka [Tru:Tek] of Man-E-Toys.com shares with us a first look at debut figure 8-Ball! John will be funding the project through Kickstarter, with a tentative ‘live’ date now set for July 1st, so stay tuned for updates on that end."Revealed as the ‘Radioactive Rumblers’, the ongoing series is set to feature a number of 4″ designs inspired by old sci-fi and horror flicks, 80’s toys, garbage pail kids and comic books of the 50’s and 60’s, each coming rotocast in vinyl with a number of ‘city crushing’ points of articulation (3 in the case of 8-Ball!)."

The Shizuoka Hobby Show kicked off this past Thursday, May 16th and we were there! We took in the Bandai booth, along with those of other distributors, who had some new plamo to share with the world. We specifically look at kits from Gundam, Macros, Yamato 2199, Evangelion, Valvrave, Ma.K, Cyber Troopers and Virtua On. [...]

By now you may be sick of Aurora (review here), but I’m certainly not. I’ll keep pounding out the message that ToyWorld’s unofficial Transformers Throttlebots have — so far — been incredible as long as it takes to convince everyone out there to give one of the toys a shot. Fortunately, I’m not alone in broadcasting this message. In addition... Read more →

Kenner sure tried a lot of stuff once Star Wars sales died off in the eighties. M.A.S.K., Super Powers, and Aliens were just some of the toys they tried to use to replace Star Wars, but nothing they released ever came close to the Star Wars sales levels of the late seventies and the early eighties. But they tried and... Read more →

I think I’ve made it clear that I’m loving the Star Wars Jumbo Vintage action figures, and with the Star Wars Dengar Jumbo Kenner Action Figure* now up for pre-orders we’re even closer to getting all six of the Empire Strikes Back bounty hunters in this over-sized form. Yes, I have this guy on pre-order. Now I wait. Waiting isn’t... Read more →

I’ve got to head out of town (again) this week, so I’ve just got a quick review to finish of the week. I couldn’t find much in my toy room that would be a good fit for a quick look, but then the postman arrived with something perfect: a repaint in

2-D Design ace and master of all things Banimon, Boris Savic, has prepared a brand new wave of plastic action for release tomorrow night, May 17th at 9PM EST in the Banimon store.

From the Banimon blog:

So as the drop date is approaching, the details are slowly unfolding. As far as toys are concerned, we will have two new colorways: the Revolutionary Guard (Red Army Men faction) and Ghost Troopers (Banigoth faction). Colors are blue with red paint and detail lines, and Glow in the dark with Black paint apps and no detail lines. There will also be some brand-new Banimon content detailing the clash of these two elite units in a fierce battle for Planet Havvacor, and a special, limited-edition t-shirt. 

The blue that Boris chose for the Revolutionary Guard is really stunning in hand, and pulls off quite a unique look with the red detail lines in place.  For the Ghost Troopers he selected a high contrast black for the spray applications, and the effect is extremely crisp and completely ominous -especially once the lights go out!

Our crew is very excited to see what Boris unveils tomorrow night!

Keep cranking B!
