Only Transformers Collector’s Club members were allowed to see the inside of the new issue of the Club newsletter, where all five figures in Wave 1 were revealed, but images of Deluxe class Sunstreaker and Ultra class Onslaught can be found on the Web now.
New G.I. Joe 25th Images Revealed
Earlier, we provided a link to images of G.I. Joe Series 8 (a.k.a. Series 4 of 2008), but an update at the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club Website has revealed additional figures.
Star Wars: Evolution
The classic Star Wars 2-pack amps up its Midichlorians to contain three characters—representing either an evolution through the Star Wars mythos of a particular character or a type of character.
Marvel Legends Series 5
Hasbro has unveiled the first figure in their next wave of Marvel Legends, the fifth from the company. The mutant Spiral is a six-armed resident of the Mojoverse, where she serves ruler and TV personality Mojo, and the all-new sculpt will have six double elbow joints, as well as a removable helmet.
Toy of the Day: REVOLTECH 2G
"Gigaaaaaan-tor! Gigaaaaaan-tor!” Once again, the space-age robot is at your command with this new 5 1/2-inch-tall, highly poseable figure of the barrel-chested Tetsujin No. 28 (literally “Iron Man #28,” or “Gigantor” to us Yanks).
Transformers: The Ride?
Paramount and Hasbro may be prepping a Transformers movie-based theme park attraction!
G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary Vehicles
Possible new 8th wave G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary figures (including Major Bludd, Roadblock V2 and the first 25th Anniversary Python Patrol figure) and new vehicles!
New DC Universe Classics
The theme for the third wave of Mattel's "Let's get the Four Horsemen to sculpt every character in the DC Universe" line seems to be adversaries.
Future of Star Wars
The future holds much more for the galaxy far, far away. With new video games, comics, toys and even TV shows, the Star Wars franchise is still going strong. We take a look at what’s in store in the coming months, including the upcoming CGI cartoon, the Force Unleashed video game and more!
The Next Big TV Toys
It’s hard to believe that there was once a time when most toys were based on TV shows and not movies. But ever since Star Wars blew up, toy companies are more likely to roll the dice on an untested movie than an untested network television show, even though the latter is beamed into every household in the country for free.
Star Wars Mini-busts
A 7-inch movie-accurate Tusken Raider bust with interchangeable arms hits stores in January, followed by a 6 1/4-inch bust of Admiral Ackbar in March. Then in May, Ayla Secura arrives with her 8-inch bust, and an 8-inch Shaak Ti bust horns in this June!
Marvel Subcasts
Subcasts are made of polyresin instead of vinyl—polyresin can hold its shape better and won’t bend over time. Look for Wolverine in January, followed by the mighty Thor and Captain America in the spring!
Future of Star Wars
The future holds much more for the galaxy far, far away. With new video games, comics, toys and even TV shows, the Star Wars franchise is still going strong. We take a look at what’s in store in the coming months, including the upcoming CGI cartoon, the Force Unleashed video game and more!
Transformers Primer
Whether you last saw an episode of “The Transformers” after elementary school or on DVD last week, there’s probably still a lot of stuff you don’t know about both the big-budget, live-action film and the Transformers in general. Well, get a pen and some paper, because we’re about to give you a crash course on the ABCs of the Transformers!
Toy of the Day: DC UNIVERSE FIGHTING FIGURES
Give in to the overwhelming desire to grab these 3-inch figure two-packs with fighting actions, expertly crafted by the Four Horsemen.
Toy of the Day: JUSTICE
Time to reinforce your Alex Ross collection shelf. Four new figures (including two very super ladies) are all set to join your collection.
Toy of the Day: HARRY POTTER & THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE
Since 2006, NECA has given fans the most movie-accurate Harry Potter action figures ever seen, and now that we’re free of literary distractions, we’ve got our minds set on what toys fall’s Half-Blood Prince might bring!
THE BEST TOY EVER
It’s not enough that the best toy ever is fun or good-looking or a good kisser. To be the greatest figure ever made, it needs to be a cool character and capture the spirit of that character. It needs to be the one toy you’d gnaw your arm off to own. And above all, it needs to make us say “Wow” every time we pick it up.
Toy of the Day: REVOLTECH 2G
"Gigaaaaaan-tor! Gigaaaaaan-tor!” Once again, the space-age robot is at your command with this new 5 1/2-inch-tall, highly poseable figure of the barrel-chested Tetsujin No. 28 (literally “Iron Man #28,” or “Gigantor” to us Yanks).
Toy of the Day: CINEMA OF FEAR
Strangely, some of the best horror-themed toys are coming out long after the Halloween pumpkins of 2007 have been composted. For example, Mezco’s 9-inch stylized Jason figure is roto-molded and wears removable fabric clothing.
