Raving Toy Maniac

Saw this on Past Generation Toys, they are offering an exclusive noob saibot and shadow clone statue from Syco Collectibles. For now they are on pre-order, release date is 31st October 2012. This statue is 10 inches tall and is available in only 100 limited quantity. The base is of diameter of 12 inches. So what do you guys think about this. For me, i have always been a fan of noob saibot.

In case anyone's interested. It's not cheap, but that is the retail price and it's a Kmart exclusive. Thankfully it's not a Rongside Collectibles price like their other WWE stuff.

...and people at HISS Tank are jumping on it like its the last piece of Joe crack in the world.

WOW!!! Really, there are no words considering what we all went through with Mattel and MOTUC for 2013. After this, I think I'm going to send a hand written apology to Toyguru.

I'll post this in the news later, the boy is trying to get me off the computer right now, so I'll post this here for now... it's from Hasbro in advance of Celebration next week:

Droid Factory Parts Swap at Celebration VI: “Yes, these are the droid parts you are looking for!”

My 52 Bats & Red Robin arrived from BBTS today and they are great.
Red Robin is a little bigger than Bats but the detail on him is really cool.
The 52 Bats detail down to his brass knuckle type ends on his gloves are a very nice touch.
Took a photo with them in the package.

and my fears have come true, more than half of the action figure and construstion building set space is gone. In it's place...model kits, additional educational toys, scooters, and inline skates (?). I had hoped that with so many items still left in the toy dept last week that they will kept some of the space over the new dept layout..but no. So between the Red Plucker Army at Target and the jacked up prices at TRU, only left with pre-ordering a lot more stuff online.

Hey kids,

After a week or so of waiting for the FDA to decide my toys weren't part of some commie plot, I finally got these two and did a quick review this morning:

Happy viewing!

I'm hoping for a really awesome New 52 Wonder Woman, at least. A huge Cyborg would be nice too but doubtful. Probably new 52 Lantern first. Anyway, we should really start making our requests now to Mattel since anytime we ask for something in ask matty it's 'too late' or 'already tooled' or 'the tooling budget won't allow' for a sword to be packed in with WW.

I just want her head sculpt to allow for motion, with the long hair still. And a sword.

Also, if club infinite earths 2013 gives us Fire, Ice, and Huntress, I'd subscribe to 2014 without seeing ANY of the lineup!
