Raving Toy Maniac

What did Hulk mumble under his breath after he thrashes Loki?

Thanks

OK....my wife and I are having a discussion about it, and drawing a complete blank. There used to be a commercial for a plush toyline (that used to ALWAYS show after Double Dare on Nickelodeon) for a weird Cops n' Robbers type toyline. There was a cat burglar, and a dog detective. Literally animals dressed up in trenchcoats and stuff...that I can remember. Different animals as different criminals, etc.

The commercial would start off with you (the camera) going into a dingy crime ridden alley, with spotlights finally casting on the toys, and the announcer talking about them.

It's driving us nuts....any toy experts have a clue what I'm talking about?

The first movie gave us some great toys, yet I disliked the movie so much that it kept me from enjoying them.

With Retaliation, I am very pleased with some of the spoiler info I've read (but will not discuss) despite the fact it seems to be centered around The Rock.

I told myself that I would not be buying these toys..until I saw the updated Cobra Commander. It doesn't make all the pain go away, but it does make me happy enough that I plunked down $40 to get Amazon 4 pack for the black version.

At this point, I'm sure I'll be buying additional figures and vehicles.

Anyone else?

I have to say that after suffering through a period of not even wanting to see or hear about GI Joe, I have fallen back in love between SSC Zartan and the wave of 3 3/4" Joes coming to dollar type stores.

Even the movie isn't looking as bad, despite my disdain for The Rock.

Just read the review...Has anyone found the Transformers: Prime deluxe Vehicon at retail or online? I'm really wanting one of these now...I haven't seen anything at retail for a while- just a bunch of Bumblebees hanging around. Is the larger class Starscream out yet? Thanks!

If, like me, you liked this line but had trouble finding the later waves at retail, I'd suggest hitting an Ollie's.

I hit one Monday and they had the four Warriors (the minotaur and company), the three Micro Dinos, and the two dino-vs-alien battle packs. They hadn't had them long, either, which is weird.

Just did a TRU run. Cap and Thor movie pegwarmers now $9.99. Marvel Universe and Star Wars figs $11.49. Marvel legends pegwarmers $22 and change. They can keep it all.

Man. They've made all these obscure characters I don't care about (though I'm more of a Marvel person), but they're not going to do Sandman, Death, Delirium, etc? And I want a regular-scale Swamp Thing without that weird jointless experiment.

For that matter, couldn't they make us some Frank Miller-style Dark Knight Returns figures? The DC Direct ones were disappointing.

I have been searching endlessly online for a toy I have. I have not been able to find anything like it. I am with high hopes that possibly someone here can assist me. It is a tractor with a Goofy disney figurine in drivers seat. It's measurements are approximately 9"L x 4 3/4"W x 7'H to the top of goofy's hat. It is mostly orange and red. Has tracks instead of wheels. Is battery operated and the tracks in fact work and the pistons light up as well. The panel that covers the wheels that hold the tracks on have design on it....not plain and solid in color like the other ones I have found that are similar. It has a gas cover on top of the tractor that is serves as the on/off switch which is also different from the others I have found. Something that also leads me to believe this could also be an ultra rare toy is the fact that is has goofy in the driver seat, as I have seen none like this. I will greatly appreciate any assist should someone be willing and able to provide assistance.

A minor point, but no photo I've seen has the flight ring on the right hand. Any one else seen anything different?
