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!

Xbox 360 owners, it's time for Mega Man 10, another NES-style sequel in Capcom's game franchise. It's $10/800 points, but nearly 200 megabytes, which seems to go against the spirit of programming an NES-style game.

The kind souls at Hasbro and Hunter PR once again answered two questions from you, and by you, we mean us, because we're selfish. Here are the questions we asked and the responses we got, including some good news regarding the future of at least two Animated deluxe toys:

A massive archive of Hasbro-answered questions on G.I. Joe was posted to Hisstank.com, which you may as well read because it's pretty stuffed with info.

A creative soul has covered the entirety of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon using an NES sound chip, combining everything you probably loved at 14 into a single, free download. Since it don't cost nothing, you may as well give it a whirl before someone forces "Rainwarrior" to take it down.

While Botcon's site previewed the vehicle mode, some dude on the KOToys.com forums sent out their Botcon Autobot Spark in robot mode. The good news: it's freaking gorgeous and amazingly colorful. The bad: no retooled head. Still, it's neat, and you should check it out.

Full games this week include NBA Unrivaled for $14.99. This is also the only new PS3 downloadable game this week.

Full games this week include BUZZ!: Master Quiz, Dead or Alive Paradise, and Dead or Alive Paradise. The games run $15.99 to $24.99.

Based on the very first Botcon exclusive, this new super-articulated and awesome version of G2 Breakdown has a brand new head and the Universe Sideswipe/Sunstreaker body. The deco is very similar to the original toy, which you can't have, because it's genuinely rare.

Another figure from the (presumably still) August launch of Pursuit of Cobra is this Alley Viper, seen here in an eBay auction for way too much money. It'll probably be $6 or $7 but the buy-it-now is $100, so buyer take note-- or embrace-- this one.

A nifty collection of sci-fi themed parts and piece from Brickarms is up for $12 and it has some Halo-themed items, gunblades, and other things LEGO may never produce. Worth snagging? Well, worth a look at least.

Site Shadowloo.com (and others) confirmed that if you like your video games public and in Japan, you're in luck! Super Street Fighter IV can start eating your yen come July or August, but only in Japan. (Or whatever arcades imported a gazillion dollar Japanese cabinet.)

We were pretty stunned to see that these Chrono Trigger Formation Arts Trading Figures from Square-Enix are not part of some Jolt cola-induced fever dream. No, they're actual little plastic statues and coming out in the Fall for about $10 per, or $40 for the batch. Our sponsor has 'em, and we suggest you get yours through this here link. Thank you.

This week's WiiWare offerings include the $5/500 point games Fishie Fishie and Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 2.

Got a DSi? This week Nintendo's handheld has 3 new Game & Watch titles for $2/200 points each. They are: Game & Watch: Helmet, Game & Watch: Manhole, and Game & Watch: Vermin. For $5/500 points is Mr. Driller: Drill Till You Drop, making this one of the more interesting weeks as of late.

Here's a nugget from the recent past: this Arctic Cobra Commander and Scarlett were to be released before the movie line, but never made it to market. There's a lot of new tooling here which hasn't been used yet, and Hisstank.com has a decent review of all this stuff. And pictures. You should see it.

If you pre-order the War for Cybertron Transformers video game, you can get exclusive in-game characters but apparently you can't get them all. GameStop has Shockwave, but Amazon has an update of Armada's Demolishor. No toys of either are presently known to exist, but they do look pretty swell wouldn't you say?

The joystick arms race continues! This time it's Hori that has a fancy new Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 arcade stick, this time a Japanese import based on the legendary Viewlix styling. It's really quite beautiful-- and priced accordingly, roughly US$300. Even if you can't read Japanese and don't want to buy it, go look at the product information page. It's worth seeing.

Once again the fine folks at NCS revealed a new SR Series Sega Gals Collection 3 from Yujin.From the site, you'll get:

This spectacular LEGO Optimus Prime, part of a stunning collection involving tons of other classic toys revised as LEGO designs. Unique versions of Soundwave, Warpath, Bumblebee, and others are here. Some are better than others, but they're clearly worth a look.

Everybody wants to go-- Dog City! Originally airing as an episode of the Jim Henson Hour, this special is coming to DVD. With a runtime of 40 minutes, we assume the awesome host segments-- with dogs complaining about Kermit-- will be cut. It's full of goofy puns and a lot of fun, and while we haven't seen it in years we look forward to its June 8, 2010 release.

Apparently thumbing their nose at Hasbro, Fansproject revealed Munitioner and Explorer, two fully-transforming and seemingly Energon-combiner compatible limbs specifically designed to go with the Revenge of the Fallen Bruticus toy. They look really good-- but at $49 a pop, it seems like a hardcore purchase only.

Full games this week include topatoi Bundle which is, we guess, good. A number of games are on sale as well at significant markdowns.

Full games this week include King of Pool, and that's about it. It's $9.99.

If the news at TFW2005 is right, we'll start seeing the "hunt for the Decepticons" sub-line of Transformers (in Canada) as early as May. If that's true, it's a safe bet we'll see it in the USA soon-- since there haven't been any online pre-orders yet, it could be a last-minute thing, but we're crossing our fingers. As we have to get Hubcap and the Power Core Combiners.

Another batch of Pursuit of Cobra toys got shot for HISSTank.com that you'll be seeing soon at retail. New ninjas, the whole ball of wax.

If what you love is the crazy, perhaps this Order Lost Claire Littleton Bobble Head is up your alley. She looks a little messy and is carrying around some dead squirrel baby made of, we're told, dried muffin remnants. The bobble will debut for sale at Comic-Con 2010 at the Bif Bang Pow!/Entertainment Earth compound, or you can just pre-order it now. Or be terrified by the crazy lady.

What's the coolest thing you've ever seen on G4 outside of Web Soup? This clip confirms and reveals Prince Adam and Orko as Comic-Con exclusives and by golly, they're great. Orko turns clear in water! How delightful. We simply must have a set.

Hasbro's lack of vision/time/interest/whatever seems to be the gain of Perfect Effect, who have revealed red and blue "Shadow Warrior" transforming figures. Basically, they're non-Hasbro items which look a lot like Frenzy and Rumble from the original Transformers but don't change into tapes. We're no patent or copyright experts but it's likely they were changed enough to avoid legal problems. At $50 for the pair, they're potentially impressive enough to justify the not-too-shabby price.

Over the last few years, we've seen some strange licensed fragrances. Play-Doh, for example. Last year we saw 3 Star Trek scents, and now someone licensed Witchblade for smells. Hunh. We all smell like pizza or Jolt here, so we're not sure how that will work.

This week's WiiWare offering is Military Madness: Nectaris, also available on PSN and XBLA. It's a pretty good little strategy game which we found difficult, but fun. It's $10/1,000 points.

Got a DSi? This week Nintendo's handheld has 4 new releases from $5 to $8. They are: 7 Card Games, AiRace, AlphaBounce, and Gangstar 2: Kings of L.A.. These games are the best argument for a Nintendo Power-like publication because really, what the heck are any of these? Do you know? Because we don't.

We were all thinking it, but as you can see over at GameInformer, someone actually made Link for 3D Dot Heroes. The game lets you make pretty much anything and the post is clear to indicate that it isn't built-in to the game, but hey! There he is! How fun.

What appears to be a legit repaint of Henkei Bumblebee but in blue has appeared online. The figure is essentially a blue version of the yellow figure, right down to the chrome bits. Nobody knows if it's a Lucky Draw, exclusive, or what yet-- maybe even a knockoff. But there it is, so enjoy!

In recent years, Capcom has become even more fan-friendly. With 8-bit Mega Man games and the announcement of both Magic Sword and Final Fight for ten bucks (on both PS3 and Xbox 360 this week), you couldn't imagine a better time to be a fan. But wait! The company is giving the entire Final Fight Double Impact soundtrack away as a free download, which ain't bad at all. As it is free. And we like free.

Xbox 360 owners, it's time for Final Fight Double Impact, a $10/800 point port with both Final Fight and Magic Sword. We hear the ports are pretty good, and we'll be downloading this later to find out. Exciting!

The original Xbox stops being supported online today, and Bungie made some fun loading screens on the way out, which you probably will never witness in-game. Oh well! Such ends all online-supported gaming some day.

The Twilight Zone Mystic Seer Bobble Head is now available in color-- or rather, it will be in August. It's the same as Bif Bang Pow's previous version but rather than sporting so much grey, it's a bright shiny red. Limited edition, blah blah blah.

If you're like us you're undoubtedly insanely curious about this year's BotCon 2010 Brochure, which reveals the names (but not pictures) for this year's five-piece boxed set. Included are Autobots Spark and Streetwise, Decepticons Clench and Breakdown, plus Predacon Skybyte. The non-attendee set is $375... which is a lot.

Rather than merely releasing the album, Devo put up tons of preview tracks of their next release for fans to listen to and vote on. So you can hear snippets of a bunch of new songs, some of which are pretty good, some of which aren't. But the good thing is you can tell them which ones you dig, and the whole "focus group" look and feel is worth seeing. If you admire good (or at least fun) site concept design work, you simply must check this out.

Next week on April 19, Evil-Lyn will go up for order on Mattycollector. Like most recent figures, we expect her to sell out before you remember to check if she's up yet, so good luck! The Ultimate Battle Ground Weapons Pak is also going to be "available."

On April 19, the 12-inch Peter Venkman figure will go up for order over at Mattycollector. It will be $60. (Wow, really?) Well, odds are it won't sell out instantly at least.

Full games this week include Final Fight Double Impact and Sam & Max The Devil's Playhouse Episode 1: The Penal Zone. Each is $10ish.

Full games this week include Mimana Iyar Chronicle, and that's about it. It's $34.99.

The first official pictures of G2 Redux Autobot Spark's robot mode are up, although you've probably seen images elsewhere already. This one has a repainted head, not a new noggin, so that means one of the other figures will probably find themselves with a new skull.

The guys at He-Man.org assembled a big list of questions that Mattel answered recently about their He-Man line, including pricing, 2011 subscription plans, and other potentially useful stuff. Do check it out.

Ad: Entertainment Earth added a pretty slick Star Trek Original Series Geological Tricorder to its catalog. What makes it particularly interesting is that the interior of this prop was never actually shown on the original series, and was recently designed by Diamond Select Toys and CBS/Paramount. How colorful! Pre-order yours now, it's expected in July for about $44.99.

In the news today, you were upset when you found out that Evil-Lyn sold out in minutes and was followed in short order by the sell-through of the Ultimate Battle Ground Weapons Pak. You were, on the other hand, reasonably happy to hear Hordak remained available at press time.

Hasbro's lack of vision/time/interest/whatever strikes again as Fansproject revealed a swell Rodimus Prime upgrade kit named "Protector" yesterday. These are spare parts you add to your Classics or Henkei Rodimus toy, and the end result is actually pretty striking. It's worth checking out, so go look at the pictures.

The 12-inch and $60 Ghostbusters Peter Venkman 12-Inch Action Figure is, at press time, available for order. It's pretty much everything you could hope for short of having a big enough proton pack that you can wear. Also, it doesn't have Slimer. Other than that, it's pretty swell.

This week's WiiWare offering is Bang Attack, and it's $5/500 points that you could spend on this week's other download.

Got a DSi? This week Nintendo's handheld has more $2/200 point Game & Watch titles of interest. These include: Donkey Kong Jr., Ball, and Flagman, effectively making the handheld the go-to destination for LCD emulation.

A (so far) online-only EP called Song Study EP came out from Devo this week. It features "Fresh" and "What We Do" plus a video for the song study thing. It's about $3.50 with no known retail release as far as we can tell. (It seems it may also be cheaper from Amazon than on iTunes.)

It seems that subscribers to the "Club Eternia" program are getting all the benefits! We just got our Evil-Lyn and Wundar package yesterday, and apparently all subscribers will now have their toys shipped first. A novel idea! Real pre-order benefits are definitely a perk, particularly when the figures sell out so quickly.

At the great Comedy Death Ray show in LA this week, you probably missed a great show. Patton Oswalt, Jen Kirkman, Greg Behrendt, and many more hit the stage in a speedy but great show. Read all about it.

Xbox 360 owners, it's time for After Burner Climax, a $10/800 point update of the classic Sega shooter. As it has real planes and not space ships, it's not necessarily a legendary title, but it could be excellent.

The perfect accessory for any otaku or slashfic fan, these Rebuild of Evangelion Ankle Socks are many things. "Cheap" is not one of these things. Cospa is making them in Japan and it's about $7.50/pair. Such are the trials of investing in the sock market these days.

Want to get a specific blind-box LEGO figure but don't want to get stuck with duplicates? A fan in Germany identified packaging markings to tell one from another easily. It's not known if these will be the same worldwide, but there you go-- there's a way to tell them apart.

First up: the Clench art is on their home page and he looks big and nasty and great.

Full games this week include Hyperballoid HD for $4.99. For $9.99 are After Burner Climax, Secret Of Monkey Island Special Edition, and Puzzle Chronicles.

Full games this week include UNO, and that's about it. It's $7.99.

It seems like every year or so Archie Comics tries to do something to remind people that they exist. This year, it's time to introduce a gay character while every pop culture site goes "oh wait so not Jughead?" The new dude's name is Kevin Keller and if it's anything like the whole marriage debacle last year we assume that this is literally all you will ever hear about it. Unless you actually read the Archie books, of course, and if you do, we'd love to talk to you. But hey, there you go, Riverdale has entered the... we guess later part of the 20th Century.

It turns out that G2 Streetwise is actually going to be named Streetstar for his Botcon exclusive and before you complain, there's a precedent. Except he was bright white when he came out in Japan. He was part of the "Operation: Combination" line and part of a really distinctive recolor of Defensor named, apparently, Guard City.

Meanwhile over in Japan, they're celebrating 2010 (the year the original movie took place in their continuity) with this Sleep Mode Convoy, which is designed to look like the Autobot leader when he totally died in the film. He includes a clear plastic container. More Masterpiece Edition toys are expected this year, but who? Aside, of course, from a US release of Grimlock.

According to Joystiq, it looks like Metroid: Other M has been delayed until August and Sin & Punishment: Star Successor was pushed back until late June. We expect additional delays, because what's a Nintendo game without a few of them?

Quick, call yourself in 1983-- there's new Dragon's Lair Wall Art coming! These graphics stick to your wall but without adhesive, so you can remove them and put them somewhere else-- a few times, anyway. They start at about fifteen bucks a whack.

Numerous online stores including our corporate overlords Entertainment Earth now have a G.I. Joe Resolute Exclusive Action Figures Set up for pre-order. It includes 14 mostly-new figures and accessories for about $80. Which, really, ain't bad.

If you like giant swords and equally giant smirks, you may wish to see this Chinese gallery of Drift posted yesterday. While not as clear as some, you do get a better glimpse at smugness incarnate.

This week's WiiWare offerings are 5 Arcade Gems for $7/700 points and/or Brain Drain $5/500 points.

There are no retail DS games this week, but six downloadable ones. These include: DodoGo!, Don't Feed the Animals, Ferrari GT: Evolution, Puffins: Let's Roll, Scrabble Slam and System Flaw Recruit. Most are $5/500 points.

Clearly, the most spectacular and surprisingly well-done spin on Super Mario Bros. is a clear violation of several copyrights. This is why you need to go play it now. Super Mario Bros. Crossover lets you play the original Super Mario Bros. game as any of several NES heroes, including Link, Bill, and Mega Man. You simply must try it.

In an attempt to engage collectors and hardcore toy fans, LEGO launched a site for its new Minifigure blind-box line which features such generally unseen-in-LEGO things as slogans and bios. Well worth a look.

Yet another Hubcap image gallery is making the rounds, and this one is arguably the best so far. Supposedly it's a review, but as it's in Chinese, we'll just say "look at the pictures."

Xbox 360 owners, it's time for Tecmo Bowl Throwback, a $10/800 point update of the classic NES football game. The kids loved this one back in the day, but as we are not of the football tribe we do not understand its charms.

The G.I. Joe convention in Rhode Island is on, and news is getting out! First up, the exclusive Parachute Drop Flint wears bright orange and looks pretty snazzy. We'll be buying this one later if the price is right.

Fan site TFormers.com and others are showing pictures of Warpath and Barricade as seen in the new War for Cybertron video game, which, apparently, is aiming to span as many generations as humanly possible. No toys for these are known to be planned, but we're hopeful as this story seems to be the most fan-intensive since the Fan Club's own Shattered Glass line incorporated basically everything into it. Check 'em out!

Over at the Action Figure Insider, catch a glimpse of Tytus in and out of his very large box. The bio is there too, so that's worth a gander.

The G.I. Joe convention revealed all their extras on their official site showing such goodies as a recolored Endor Bunker and Indiana Jones vehicle! The characters are nobody we recognized at first glance, but if you like wacky facial hair it's worth clicking through to see Gaucho.

Via the s250 Twitter account comes a dark blue recolored Energon Downshift which many are speculating to be a BotCon exclusive Slicer. While no such thing has been confirmed as of yet, well, there's a new toy for you to look at in car mode.

Full games this week include Record of Agarest War for $44.99, but the retail deluxe box is filled with extra stuff you probably won't want to be seen with. (It's pretty amazing, though.) For $14.99 is Kick-Ass, just in time to barely miss the movie.

Full games this week include 2010 FIFA World Cup, in either English or French. It's $39.99.
