For years fans have said they wish they could subscribe to their favorite toy line. Mattel is sort of doing this with their Club Eternia 2010 program, in which for $260 you'll get 12 figures plus a bonus exclusive Wun-Dar, which is essentially the Wonder Bread He-Man from the 1980s. It's not a bad deal, and shipping is extra, but take note: there will be numerous bonus figures and toys not included in the program, so you will not get a complete set of everything if you sign up for this and call it a day.

A nifty animated video and a "defaced" website were created for the Cobra Con campaign, which you really ought to see. The soundalike is actually quite good. Well worth checking out if you like seeing extremely creative people at work.

If you don't mind having a Japanese console, Nintendo released the Wii in black, finally. NCS has them for sale, as well as matching controllers and gadgets. Don't worry, it'll still get fingerprints all over it.

Comedy Is Dead has updated with Road Trip Album Picks: Drunk Baby Project, a one-off from The Kids in the Hall's Bruce McCulloch. How is it? Well, go read it and find out.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is in stores today, and as a passable game based on the toys and movie premise, it basically works.

Figure of the Day has updated once again! The daily feature on figures you might have but might not-- either way, here's what you've been missing! Spanning from the original Power of the Force series of 1995 to the latest of The Legacy Collection, it's almost like a history lesson!

There are two WiiWare games this week, the most out of character is easily Sexy Poker, which doesn't seem so much like a legit release in the USA. But it has ladies, poker, and anime-ish art, and it's 500 points/$5 from GameLoft.

Got a DSi? There's Art Style: precipice, for $5/500 points. Nintendo says: "Choose from two modes of play and climb stacked cubes to reach higher floors, but donšt get crushed along the way!"

If you go to YouTube you can totally see a trailer for a new R-Type game. Before you get too excited though, it's a strategy game, not a shooter. R-Type Tactics II is due this October. But if you want something now...

The completely fantastic and normally $15 R-Type Dimensions is on sale for 800 points ($10) this week. We loved the game, and suggest you grab the demo if you're waffling over it. It's really a treasure, despite being developed by a company without that name.

Comedy Is Dead has updated with Awesome Weekly Comedy, Great Job! with a look at all the DVDs, CDs, and movies you can aspire to laugh at this week. Don't miss the new Doug Benson!

Figure of the Day has updated once again! The daily feature on figures you might have but might not-- either way, here's what you've been missing! Spanning from the original Power of the Force series of 1995 to the latest of The Legacy Collection, it's almost like a history lesson!

Our good friend on Twitter Poe Ghostal got pictures of the new Masters of the Universe He-Man and Skeletor packaging. It's a lot like the current packaging, but says "The Original!" on it. We think it looks fantastic, and hopefully we can actually get these this time.

Comedy Is Dead has updated with a look at Comedy Death Ray This Week: A Doug Benson Interruption CD Recording, which featured 6 comics and entertained for about 2 hours. And it was $5. And odds are you missed it.

Hey kids, it's here! The $10/800 point sequel to everyone's favorite retro arcade game is here. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Turtles in Time Re-Shelled takes the Konami classic and updates to to more modern graphics and sound. We can't wait to try it.

Want to see some really clear images of a new G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra trooper? Click this before the auction ends, we can't say we're totally impressed but it's neat to see.

For about US $30, TakaraTomy is releasing a Black Soundwave/Soundblaster figure. How do you get it? Click through and hope you know Japanese, or watch your favorite toy importer. Particularly if it's eBay. (Just expect to pay more than $30.)

So what's new this week?

With some really slick packaging, these Nike Basketball G.I. Joe shoes at Sneaker Maniac are really something. The box looks like a toy's box, and it sports old-timey character art. There are Cobra logos on various parts of the shoe, meaning that the sneakers you'd have totally bought as a kid are now available! At prices you can't afford. OH WELL.

After being on nearly everything else, SquareEnix finally decided to release Crystal Defenders, that sort of a tower defensey thing with the classes from the Tactics games. It's $9.99. Also new is the second Watchmen game episode and the PSone game Spec Ops: Covert Assault. It's about $10.

Not as much as usual this week. The downloadable is: Dynasty Warriors ($14.99), and some Hanna Montanna DLC. So... yeah.

Comedy Is Dead has updated with Louis C.K. Is Having The Best Week Ever which looks at the comic's recent announcements of a new pilot and his stint on an NBC show! Which one? You'll have to read it.

Over at The Allspark you can find HyperHobby magazine scans with new toys. Not only can you see the redeco Masterpiece Grimlock and the Black Soundwave, but there's a new Minicons set which actually looks pretty great.

Wal-Mart stores are already getting the Crimson Hydra Jet and the new Dragonhawk vehicles. Check your stores for availability.

A new HMM Iron Kong Gallery has been posted, mostly to show you just how crappy your vintage one truly is. The new version has teeth, tons of articulation, and the ability to make obscene gestures with his hands. Japanese retail is expected to be over US$100 but discounts are available if you pre-order and are able to read Japanese.

Comedy Is Dead has updated with Road Trip Album Picks: Dave Attel's "Skanks for the Memories", a 2003 release by America's favorite blue comic. Is it worth subjecting a car full of people to this one? Well, go read it and find out.

Figure of the Day has updated once again! The daily feature on figures you might have but might not-- either way, here's what you've been missing! Spanning from the original Power of the Force series of 1995 to the latest of The Legacy Collection, it's almost like a history lesson!

There are two WiiWare games this week, the first is NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits, which formerly had the word "Icarus" in the title. It's $10/1,000 points.

Got a DSi? There's Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, for $8/800 points. Nintendo says: "Enjoy another round of training your brain in minutes a day with this artistically focused Brain Age title!" We don't have an opinion.

This week, Gold members can save 50% on something they won't buy, and therefore will save 100%. If downloading a FIFA 09 Ultimate Team pack is your bag, there are 7 options. And if it tickles your fancy, we're truly sorry to hear that.

Comedy Is Dead has updated with Maria Bamford Meet-Up! One of our crack team met up with her. And guess what? We're going to tell you about it.

Hey LEGO fans, stores are getting the new stuff in. If you haven't seen the Hoth set, the new Y-Wing, or Space Police, they're all showing up in the current Target reset. Happy hunting!

Someone appreciates history! Over at Sega's blog there's an unboxing of a vintage 1989 Sega Genesis. Awesome! Remember when 16-bit used to be cool? (Hey, wait a minute...)

Comedy Is Dead has updated with a look at Comedy Death Ray This Week: The Big Surprise Edition, which two and a half hours worth of fun for $5. Louis C.K. performed, which was awesome. There were other famous faces too, trying new material in front of a receptive audience. There were other comics performing as well, to varying degrees of success.

Do you like racing? The $15/1,200 point motorcycle game is here. Base don the price, we expect Trials HD to be decent but truth be told we haven't tried it yet. 50 tracks, level editor, and unlockables were you so inclined.

In addition to the Spider set and Crimson figures, numerous other goodies will be sold at the G.I. Joe Convention. These items include 25th Anniversary-style Starduster and Manleh, a 3-pack of Shimik, Redmack, and Topson, plus a SAF Copter (FANG Repaint) with pilot Blades. A Crimson Command Copter based on the RHINO mold apparently comes with the Crimson Strike Team, we think, but we may be wrong-- it's vague, and in vogue.

It's Vivi! Zidane, Sephiroth, and more appear in Final Fantasy Trading Arts Mini 4, a new set of miniature toys from Square Enix due later this year. We got the news from NCS, who sells them, and sadly does not pay us to tell you these things.

So what's new this week?

A few sources are reporting that Snake Fries-- the hybrid Mr. Potato Head/Snake Eyes toy-- has been cancelled. Given the less than stellar performance of the past several movie tie-in potatoes, we can't say we're surprised. It may show up someday, maybe, who knows.

The big game this week is Marvel vs. Capcom 2, which was released on the Xbox 360 last month. It's $14.99, or for some reason, there's a retail box copy which includes a came download code, a collector's box, and a 3 month subscription to Marvel's online digital comics service. It's the clear winner. Had they made it for the Xbox, we'd have bought it.

Nothing just for the PSP-- just the PSOne games that you can get on the PlayStation 3, which are: Ten Pin Alley, Dead In The Water, and the original Tomb Raider which is $10 for some reason.

Playmoblog updated with New Playmobil Blister Packs Appearing, which explores 2 new blister sets featuring male and female vets with pets. But which ones? Go click the pic and add some traffic.

Comedy Is Dead has updated with Reno 911: A Comedy Is Dead which confirms what you've already heard: the Comedy Central series has been cancelled. The picture is of a Halloween costume.

LEGO has two new sets based on the work of the great Frank Lloyd Wright up for grabs. The Guggenheim (pictured) has 208 pieces and will set you back $39.99. For those wanting something more meaty, Fallingwater has 811 pieces and costs $99.99.

With the movies being the main focus for the toy line in the next year, Hasbro showed off a number of products going as far as Fall... 2010. Most interesting of all, though, was just how nifty the club offerings were.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix came out two years ago, and because of this, it can be had for under $10 if you look at the right places.

Comedy Is Dead has updated with This Week in Late Night: The Mike Meyers Apocalypse, and we'll tell you where you can see the dreaded former guru, David Cross, Patton Oswalt, and more.

Figure of the Day has updated once again! The daily feature on figures you might have but might not-- either way, here's what you've been missing! Spanning from the original Power of the Force series of 1995 to the latest of The Legacy Collection, it's almost like a history lesson!

There are two WiiWare games this week. Family Slot Car Racing is $5/500 points, and PictureBook Games: Pop-Up Pursuit is $8/800 points.

Got a DSi? There's Guitar Rock Tour, for $5/500 points. Nintendo says: "If you like rock music and have a sense of rhythm, your road to stardom starts here!" We think they may be in error.

Over at Matty Collector, the Masters of the Universe Tri-Clops went up for pre-order yesterday. More shocking? It's still in stock at press time. Color us stunned.

Comedy Is Dead has updated with Weekly Comedy: Yet Another Slow Week, which is pretty brief. At least there's some new fun next week.

Weezer confirmed their new album, Raditude, is coming October 27. Clearly, this is to capitalize on the hugely popular film Raditooie. The first singe "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" is available now. (Spoiler alert: it's not another Pinkerton.)

We get a lot of press releases here, and we had some good ones that basically warrant brief reports. And they are:

A new $15/1,200 point Metroid clone is here, minus the awesome character designs. Buzz has it that Shadow Complex is an above-par, 2.5D adventure that cribs many of Super Metroid's finer points, but little of its personality. Give the demo a whirl if you've got an Xbox 360.

Buzz had it that for years, the documentary URGH! A Music War was kept off home video of any kind, and was heavily edited on cable, due to some music rights issues. The nearly 30-year-old film is essentially a big concert movie, with numerous late '70s and early '80s acts like Devo, The Police, Wall of Voodoo, Oingo Boingo, Dead Kennedys, Echo & the Bunnymen, Klaus Nomi, Skafish, X, and a bunch of others you either totally freaking love or have never heard of. The 2-hour movie is on Warner's "Archive Collection" service, which means they make it on-demand. We assume the quality is OK, it's $19.99. We've had the soundtrack in our possession for years and it's excellent.

So what's new this week?

The oddest news this week is that Andy Dick is now a playable character (via DLC) in PAIN! No, we don't know why. But it's $1.99. If this works out, may we suggest Doug Benson DLC in Street Fighter IV or perhaps Dana Gould in Soulcalibur IV?

This week's downloadable PSP title is Warriors Orochi for $14.99.

Comedy Is Dead has updated with Podcasts which will let you know about some of the best comedy podcasts or podcast segments you missed this week. Aren't you lucky?

If you have an Urban Outfitters store nearby, and odds are you do, check out their clearance area. Tucked away are a bunch of formerly $20, now $4.99 Mighty Muggs. The store carried blanks, Marvels, Joes, and Star Wars, so get while the getting is good.

The guys at Takara-Tomy finally bit the bullet and put out their hit 20th Anniversary Masterpiece Convoy (Optimus Prime) toy in those oh-so-popular black repaint coloring jobs the kids love so much.

There are two WiiWare games this week. Mr. Driller W. is $8/800 points, assuming you don't own it on several other platforms.

Got a DSi? There's Pop+ Solo , for $5/500 points. Nintendo says: "Pop bubbles, build chains and try to keep the timer alive in this addictive puzzle/shooter." This certainly sounds better than most weeks. Has anyone tried it?
