|
|
 Ad: Coming really soon! Entertainment Earth posted shots of the Ultimate Spider-Man All-Stars Action Figures Wave 2 Case which has 2 new figures which, surprisingly, share a new action figure sculpt. Iron Spider Armor (that's the name) has a yellow Spider, a web shield, and the Tony Stark-inspired red and gold costume. Web Strike Spider-Man has a recycled web from a previous wave of figures, the same new sculpt with Ben Reilly deco, and a grey Spider. They're due around July. (The case also includes the Night Mission Spider-Man, otherwise known as the best thing Hasbro released in 2013 so far.)
Also new: a series of reveals for Star Wars: The Black Series Greedo, which they confirm today.
Click on over for behind-the-scenes shots of this new figure's development process over the next four weeks. It's going to be exciting!

Mordles Bonus: An Egg!
|
|
  Club Mordle members that signed in on Sunday late at night saw their bonus - a big ol' egg will be included with the yellow sets. The egg has some real significance, but that's sorta kinda under wraps briefly so yeah. (Heck, I'm only mentioning it here because it made the forums. It's exciting stuff.) We'll be showing it here when we review the yellow Mordles very, very soon. Another colorway was also previewed, but I'm going to let them reveal that one.
The club members can pre-order figures this week, and everybody else can place an order after that. If you aren't a member, the full-size pictures and pre-order opportunities are not yet public.

G2 Masterpiece Sideswipe Happening
|
|
  According to many posts on Twitter which have been archived at TFW2005, Masterpiece G2 Sideswipe & 30th Anniversary Masterpiece Fans Choice Characters Revealed! An early G2 Sideswipe (black head, actual G2 logo) was on display as yet another reuse of the mold, but one I think a lot of people will find exciting.
Also notable, the Fan's Choice characters include numerous Autobot and even Maximal leaders, so if "Convoy" was ever a part of its Japanese name odds are it's up for voting soon.

Glyos Menu, Noboto!
|
|
  Via the Glyos News Dump: Glyos Onell Design June 14 2013 Drop Menu shows that the big surprise was Noboto, and in decent numbers to boot! This guy has been previewed a few times and teased for a while, and we read he has a backpack and two heads. What a deal for $8!
And now the bad news - due to a glitch seemingly with Paypal, there were order/inventory issues and 100% of the orders have been/will be refunded and the drop will be rescheduled for a later date. If there was a bright side, as of when I looked about an hour after the drop or so, nothing had yet sold out due to larger quantities.

New Hot Wheels Mail-In, Just Add Effort
|
|
  Remember the Moss Man mail-in like ten years ago? The new Toys "R" Us 2013 Hot Wheels Collector Edition Purple Passion Woody Promotion is kind of the same deal, but even more of a drag on the postal system. You're going to need a large envelope.
The exclusive car costs $3.50 plus the purchase of 20 cars - but it gets complicated. You have to buy 20 cars - but they have to be from Toys R Us, and it has to be purchased between June 30 and August 31. Then, you have to send in the receipts and the entire cardback from 20 cars to Mattel. So basically, this nifty $1 mail-in car will set you back at least $5 in supplies, plus cars. It's sort of a lot of hoops to jump through, but that is the price of love.
That's one way to clear out the stores!

Fastest Hot Wheels Car of All Time?
|
|
 I was wondering what (if any) Hot Wheels car had been dubbed "fastest" and found out that for a while, it turns out that a Matchbox car held the title. The Blue Real Riders Club has an article WHO HAS THE FASTEST HOT WHEELS CAR? that held a tournament to find exactly that, and there's a few pages to wade through to find out that there are a couple of cars which are pretty speedy.
I am still looking to see if anyone keeps a database of this information because that'd be a fantastic thing to add to a wiki somewhere. This article isn't particularly new, but it's new to me and I thought worth sharing.
