Review: Super7 Devo New Traditionalists Gerald Casale ReAction Figure

Figure of the DaySuper7 Devo New Traditionalists Gerald Casale ReAction Figure ReAction FiguresSomething new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!

New! This Super7 Devo New Traditionalists Gerald Casale ReAction Figure is a recent release, but the coloring and accessory look like something that should have been on shelves a while ago - he's great hanging around your Adventure People. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Playmobil Freebie in the UK

PlaymobilEat ItVia our pal Philip but also BirdsEye: FREE Playmobil Mini Captain when you buy 2 packs of mini fish fingers. If you'e in the UK or Republic of Ireland, you can get this exclusive figure. And if you get more than one, you can send one my way.

Apparently you just need to upload receipts, which is a heck of a way to do a toy mail-in offer. The last time I sent away for a mail-in figure for the US, I believe you needed stickers and a check that was probably about as much as the cost of the item plus shipping.

Star Wars Review: Jannah (The Black Series)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jannah (The Black Series). I didn't open mine until pretty recently - it's a decent figure, but you can also see how the modern Star Wars design ethos has a lot of overlap between movies, as she could just as easily be on the same shelf as Rogue One characters..

Review: Hasbro Transformers Legacy United Voyager Origin Wheeljack Action Figure

Figure of the DayHasbro Transformers Legacy United Voyager Origin Wheeljack Action FigureSomething new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!

New! The Hasbro Transformers Legacy United Voyager Origin Wheeljack Action Figure is one of the first characters you saw in 1984 on the original cartoon, and now you might find a toy of it at Target. It's a deluxe-sized robot but a Voyager due to the complexities of transformation, accessories, and storage capacity for Bumblebee. It's a little chunky but also pretty amazing in terms of what it can do. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Classic Review: October Toys OTMF Glow in the Dark Toy Break Mini-Figure

Figure of the DayOctober Toys OTMF Glow in the Dark Toy Break Mini-FigureA classic! I've written over 5,000 action figure reviews since 2006, so I'm going to toot my own horn with classic Figure of the Day.

Posted ten years ago today! The October Toys OTMF Glow in the Dark Toy Break Mini-Figure comes from that brief, glorious era where a bunch of indie toymakers zigged while urban vinyl zagged and gave us neat, cheap, designer toys that more or less fits in with M.U.S.C.L.E.. And this one glows! And promotes an old streaming toy show. I like it. Read on!

Come back tomorrow for an all-new review!

Turtles of Grayskull Sla'ker, Krang Hitting

TMNTSlackVia me: Target's Masters of the Universe x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Sla'Ker Action Figure is available for pick-up at their stores now, and you might just stumble on Krang at Walmart - I found him on Friday. (He sold through by Sunday.) They both use the XL Andre the Giant buck, which means Sla'ker is huge in addition to having Metal-Boto's head and crotch with upper legs. It's a pretty good figure, and Mouse-Jaw is on clearance at Target for 50% off (or better) now.

Good hunting - this seems to be a soft toy aisle reset, too. Each of these exclusives is around $25, but the $20 basic figures are still in short supply at big box around here. Keep your eyes open, Target seems to have more than Walmart.

Figure of the DaySuper7 Planet of the Apes Gorilla Soldier (Patrolman) ReAction Figure ReAction FiguresSomething new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!

Old! This Super7 Planet of the Apes Gorilla Soldier (Patrolman) ReAction Figure is a real classic, complete with a retro rifle and five points of articulation. It looks and feels a lot like actual old toys - that's why I love the Apes segment of this line so much. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

NES Kickstarter: Chew Chew Mimic

NESEat ItVia Rigg'd Games and Lowtek Games on Kickstarter: Chew Chew Mimic for NES. If you like D&D and Chu Chu Rocket, this might be for you - as of press time it is fully funded with 28 days to go.

Like most NES games these days, a bare cartridge is $40 and a boxed game is $60. That may sound like a lot, but I put $60 in an inflation calculator and set it to 1989. A typical good new NES game was $40 back then, and in 2024 dollars, that's about $100.75. ETA is July 2024, which is pretty fast if they can make it.

Review: Hasbro Transformers Generations Legacy Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection Blurr

Figure of the DayHasbro Transformers Generations Legacy Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection BlurrSomething new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!

Old! The Hasbro Transformers Generations Legacy Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection Blurr is seemingly now finally vanishing from closeout store shelves, and that means he's oddly getting a smidgen closer to retail price. And he's pretty good - I dragged my feet forever before getting one and the results are on the happy side of decent. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Hasbro Licenses Power Rangers to Playmates

HasbroPocky?Via Hasbro: HASBRO AND PLAYMATES TOYS ENTER STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP TO PRODUCE AND DISTRIBUTE POWER RANGERS PRODUCT GLOBALLY STARTING IN 2025.

What you will care about: "Playmates is debuting its first POWER RANGERS collection with a kid targeted MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS toy line in 2025." Further details are a little sparse so far.

Playmates will often focus quite a lot of attention on a successful brand, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Trek in the 1990s. And not focus on it when it isn't working, like Star Trek since 2009. We saw what Hasbro did with Power Rangers, much like we once saw what Galoob did with Star Trek: The Next Generation. We could see a line that has a year and goes back to Hasbro, or we could see a new definitive brand statement - it's hard to say anything other than "it'll probably be cheaper."
