Raving Toy Maniac

Unfortunately this revision case doesn't contain any of the 6 new figures. The Iron Spider was also not the new translucent variant. EE also shows a later revision case that does repack 5 of the new figures and includes Archangel.

Picked up the new Thor, Steve Rogers Cap (with clear shield), and orange flame Ghost Rider. These are some very nice looking figures and I'm pleased to see the return of ML. The clear shield Cap/Steve is great. And unless I'm mistaken, the clear shield is comics-accurate, correct? Steve had some sort of holo-shield, didn't he? Thor is an improvement over the Marvel Select version, imo. Didn't pick up Constrictor, Klaw, Rachel Summers. Iron Man wasn't there. I'll have to decide how much I need a Terrax. I think he may be somewhat out of scale, though. I don't remember him being that large in the Byrne FF comics. Overall, very pleased with the figures I got!

I KNOW, RIGHT? A toy store in a mall? BRILLIANT!

And yet there it is. Nothing too exciting in stock, though they did have the latest NECA Freddy Kruegers.

Maybe we could make this a sticky topic?

Thanks!

So, there has been a lot of debate over whether or not the press photos that Hasbro releases are the final versions of figures as we are going to see them at retail. In the case of G.I.Joe Retaliation, there is a lot of variance from one fig to the next. But here's an easy one: unless something drastic took place in that deleted scene, Lando was a black guy for all his appearances. Could be the lighting, but it doesn't look like Hasbro's quite done with this Lando figure. Unless they let Michael Jackson play him in the cut scene.

So anyone else think Madonna looked like She-ra in black & gold during the beginning of the half time show?

One of the toylines mentioned in Warner Bros' press release is Batman Power Attack, with pictures of these two vehicle sets. They look like animated style Batman figures, but not based on any existing animated series. I compared them to the preview images of Beware the Batman and I don't think they're based on that either.

So I looked up Batman Power attack and found these Batman and Killer Croc figures listed on KMart.com.

I don't think we need yet another venue for multi-colored Batman variants. Still I'm all for original Batman toys like the days of Legends of Batman, Legends of the Dark Knight and (granted to a lesser extent) Batman Knight Force Ninjas. Or are these based on something I'm just not aware of?
