Star Wars Review: QT-KT (Droid Factory, Carded)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: QT-KT (Droid Factory, Carded) . Hasbro had one a few years ago with a similar layout, but different shade of pink and different gimmicks. This one has a build-a-droid part, and costs more. Which comes out victorious? Read the whole review.

Review: Mattel Hot Wheels Eggshelleracer

Figure of the DayMattel Hot Wheels EggshelleracerDaily figure reviews return until I am too tired to want to keep doing it! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues and my hopes is it will encourage you to kick in $1 a month to the Patreon which funds hosting for 16bit.com and Galactic Hunter! Help me keep the servers on and the toy pictures a-rollin'.

An egg to hunt! Mattel Hot Wheels Eggshelleracer has been showing up around town lately, I saw a few last night at a Dollar Tree. Thematically, it's the perfect car for this weekend. It has a spoon. The chassis is egg-themed, with wheels that look like slices of hard-boiled eggs. There are even little salt and pepper shakers on the back. It's too weird, I couldn't say no to it - there are even expiration date-like printings on the sides of the metal shell. Be sure to look for this one when you're out this week. Read on, and come back Monday for more!

Review: Playmobil "Fi?ures" 70025 Figures Mechanic

Figure of the DayPlaymobil Daily figure reviews return until I am too tired to want to keep doing it! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues and my hopes is it will encourage you to kick in $1 a month to the Patreon which funds hosting for 16bit.com and Galactic Hunter! My goal? $100 a month, which means I don't even get $3 per day to host this thing and pay to fix broken hardware. So how about a buck, Mac?

Not recent! Playmobil "Fi?ures" 70025 Figures Mechanic has been around for ages, working quietly in the background. His jeans are painted with stitches, his shoes are red for some reason, and he's got a swell jacket. His tools are pretty good, too. If you need a guy to wrench on something in a garage, go get one of these if you can find it. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Hasbro Cyberattacked

HasbroWell, that escalated quicklyVia Reuters: Hasbro investigates cybersecurity incident, takes some systems offline. A number of systems were taken offline, and it is not obvious yet what was taken, or who took it, or why.

As we're a toy site, I'm sure you're out there going "I bet it was the 2027 The Retro Collection offerings!" I'm wondering if it was to get into whatever they're doing for Magic: The Gathering. It hasn't seemingly impacted outward-facing operations, as a number of pre-orders continued to deploy without a visible hitch.

Star Wars Review: Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver (The Vintage Collection)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver (The Vintage Collection). This one is interesting - the arms, legs, and lower torso are basically just the Snowtrooper from last year. The helmet and chest look a lot like the Shoretrooper or any of a number of Rogue One-era Imperials. The walker itself is impressive, yet expensive. The gaps of the legs were filled with panels, with painted buttons and screens on the console. There's never been an AT-RT with more articulation, plus it has really amazing snowy gunk paint on the legs. And on the other hand, it's $68. Read the whole review.

Review: Kenner Batman: The Animated Series Bane Action Figure

Figure of the DayKenner Batman: The Animated Series Bane 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!

Old! The Kenner Batman: The Animated Series Bane Action Figure roamed the plains of North America in the 1990s, mostly congregating in herds in Kay-Bee Toy Store locations in shopping malls. They lifted their arms and had a switch that could activate an attack with their plastic metal girders. Today, you rarely see them, but they're still around.

Review: Hasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Deluxe Venin

Figure of the DayHasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Deluxe VeninSomething 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!

Newish! The Hasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Deluxe Venin is very similar to the original toy, but with added joints. This makes it fun. The colors are bright, the accessories are nice, and they added some more clear bits that just happen to look a lot more modern. Give this one a look, even though he's never on the cartoons and you probably didn't have it as a kid. Read on!

Takara-Tomy Doing Transformers G2 Menasor Set!

TransformersREADVia Takara-Tomy: NEW LEGENDS New product coming soon! No price was listed, but you can see new color pictures and its clear Takara-Tomy veered toward the colors and stickers of the 1990s prototypes. Since Hasbro has yet to finish its team, odds are fans will just flock to this one.

Japanese pre-orders go up April 3, and presumably American pre-orders will follow.

Marie Antoinette, Now in Playmobil

PlaymobilLet Them Eat PlasticVia the Playmobil fans around the web but here they are on eBay: Playmobil 71592 Marie Antoinette. I don't quite know where she is (or isn't) being sold yet, but she's cheaper on eBay Canada than eBay America by a long shot. She seems inexpensive in the EU, so maybe pick one up if you're going overseas.

Five Below Getting In to Vinyl

MusicWhat Are The Kids Listening ToVia me on Bluesky: Five Below has records now? Heavy on soundtracks, with some Target and Walmart exclusives. I saw a Tron Legacy along with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, The Bob's Burgers Movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, and a few others. They seem to be $10, even the double-LP ones. I would assume whatever company is responsible for stocking big box stores' record sections are dumping old stock. I'll be keeping my eyes open while going out for a Zagnut.

Star Wars Review: General Veers (AT-AT Driver, The Vintage Collection)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: General Veers (AT-AT Driver, The Vintage Collection). The Imperial Officer buck from a few years ago is retooled with one of the best original trilogy human likenesses we've ever had. The helmet is removable. There's no chin strap or micorphone. The armor is fused to the chest. But it looks amazing, so you probably want to upgrade your 2006 Veers or your 2010 generic AT-AT Driver. Read the whole review.

Ship happens! Blokees Transformers Defender Version 05 Traitor to Tyranny Jetfire Vehicle comes in cartoon colors, so as to not anger the anime overlords. It's pretty good for a tiny ship, with moving wings and fairly decent blocky construction. You might dig it, try to get one if you see the boxes around town. Read on, and come back Monday for more!

Bat Boy Found in Kickstarter Update

KickstarterI Read it All in the Weekly World NewsVia the Kickstarter for The Cryptoids: The Legend Lives! Bat Boy Has Entered The Battle! Arguably a very "you had to be there" part of the 1990s was its interest in the supernatural via call-in radio and supermarket tabloids. You may know somebody - or be somebody - who listened to Art Bell, or read The Weekly World News, or saw The X-Files as a documentary. Bat Boy was a fixture in 1990s supermarket checklane newspapers, and also made many appearances in corners of the weird and fun part of the punk rock scene of that time. He even has a Wikipedia page, which mentions a musical which I did not know about. Well, now there's an action figure.

I'm not saying this is some required purchase or anything, but it's a remarkably odd bit of kitsch that I never expected to see as an action figure. Good on all parties involved for working something out.
