November 6, 2006 - (Sponsor Announcement) - Online retailer BigBadToyStore.com has several new items of interest to collectors:

--------------
NEW PREORDERS:
--------------

TRANSFORMING ROADBOTS: If you enjoy Transformer Alternators, you are sure to like the new Transforming RoadBots from a company called Happy Well. This line comes in a variety of sizes ranging from 1:32, to 1:18 and giant sized 1:12 licensed cars that turn into robots. We imported a variety of samples to inspect the workmanship before listing them on our site, and we were nicely surprised with the quality, transformations, and overall coolness of the RoadBots line. These are very reasonably priced with a $9.99 price on 1:32, $19.99 on 1:18, and $34.99 on the ~15" 1:12. Some of the vehicles available include a fantastic Lamborghini Murcielago, Hummer H2, and a variety of Toyota & Mitsubishi models.

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE STATUES & BUSTS: NECA & The Four Horsemen have unleashed two great new sculpts for the MOTU series. A new Zodak 10" mini bust has been listed at $39.99 and the very awesome 15" Trapjaw Statue has been listed at $189.99

STREET FIGHTER ROUND 1: We've found a small supply of the long-gone SOTA Round 1 figures! Ryu, Evil Ryu (Japanese Exclusive) Chun Li, M Bison, and Sagat are all up for preorder at the very reasonable price of $11.99 ($12.99 for Evil Ryu) This is a great chance to fill in your collection if you missed the first wave from several years ago.

MEDICOM RAH & VCD GHOST RIDER: Medicom continues two of its most popular styles of figures with the Real Action Hero and Vinyl Collection Doll versions of Ghost Rider. These are up for preorder at $96.99 and $54.99 respectively.

MACROSS / JETFIRE STYLE - VARIABLE CYBERBOT: This item is also made by Happy Well (the makers of RoadBots) Its basically a knockoff version of a Macross Valkyrie - similar to the Jetfire mold. They offer a variety of knockoff style products, but this was the only one we found worthy of presenting to you. It has a gray color scheme and is priced right at only $12.99! The quality will be lower than an actual Macross product, but if you need a bunch of them for cannon fodder, or want to build a fleet of nameless drones, this would be your mech.

REAL ACTION HEROES - EVANGELION: The Bandaged version of Rei Ayanami is up for preorder at $109.99, this is another high quality item from Medicom and will be arriving in early 2007.

HOT TOYS SOCOM U.S. NAVY SEALS: Hot Toys brings us the Commander Specter figure from the hit video game for only $77.99. This 12" figure has a TON of gear and many many intricate details.

HELLBOY BOBBLE HEADS: Sideshow brings bobbing head versions of Hellboy, Kroenen, and Sammael. Each is priced at only $12.99
