Gerry Casale on Devo 2.0, More

DEVOAre We Not Sell-Outs?If you like Devo you are no doubt in love with the fact that the band is doing more press than, well, ever. They're pretty open about things we haven't heard much about, and this recent AVClub.com interview with Jerry Casale goes into some detail about the whole Devo 2.0 project and what it was like for music suits to actually read Devo lyrics rather than ignore them while listening to a song. It's remarkable. Read it.

TransformersKinda Similar To HufferVia S250 and TFW2005.com are some packaged shots of Oilpan, Breacher, Leadfoot, Icepick, and Sledge. It's a pretty safe bet these will be in stores before September if not much earlier.

Also exciting, Asian site TFG2.com has an extensive gallery of War for Cybertron concept and character art, which is basically like a digital artbook you don't pay for. It's also incredibly slow, so fair warning. One of the Ratchet concepts looks a lot like Drift.

Masterpiece Grimlock To Debut at Comic-Con After All?

TransformersWHO IS YOUR HERO NOWAccording to this post at Entertainment Earth combined with the total lack of Grimlocks at Toys "R" Us, it's entirely possible that the item will make its debut in San Diego this month rather than on store shelves on July 1. As it is July 7, and nary a Grimlock has been spotted.

From the site: Toys"R"Us is offering three SDCC Exclusives and a limited edition exclusive product debut: [...] and Transformers Masterpiece Grimlock ($70)

...and yes, we do work with Entertainment Earth, and no, we don't know for sure. Toys "R" Us and shelf dates don't mix well these days.

Review: Transformers Generations Drift

TransformersDrift The First To date there is only one Drift toy, which is pretty amazing considering the brand's longevity. We can probably thank the recent notion of drift racing, which is where the character's name comes from in addition to his personality in the comics. He's largely presented as a smug, confident badass with swords and Japanese all over his person, essentially the synthesis of everything you loved as a teenager or as a young fan which currently represents everything that annoys you about those respective groups. But the important thing to remember here is that the toy itself is a personality-free block of consumer goods, and it's excellent. [ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

Animated Black Prime, G1 Movie 3-Pack Confirmed

TransformersWhere The Blaction IsThis PDF of some Japanese catalog reveals a black Voyager Animated Optimus Prime repaint which we all pretty much figured was going to happen somewhere, somehow, eventually. It's going to be pretty expensive, close to US$50.

Also if you live in Hong Kong you can get this 3-pack of awesome Galvatron, Rodimus, and Cyclonus repaints. Can you sell us one? You should if you can, it's the right thing to do.

The Outer Space MenMystron, the Man from Middle-EarthWith the release of the first versions of series 1 and 2 in full swing at Comic-Con right now, the Four Horsemen revealed Mystron, the Man from Middle-Earth and Commander Comet, the Man from Venus. These are early prototypes, but they seem to be shaping up well.

The aforementioned exclusive "Alpha Phase" figures are on sale at the Action Figure Xpress booth at Comic-Con, so if you're there, you might be able to score them before they sell through. The packaging is simple baggies with header cards, with a graphic layout similar to that of the original 40-year-old figures. Nice!

New 3 3/4-Inch Battle Beasts Revealed

Battle BeastsFastNew pictures of previously unannounced Battle Beasts were on display at Diamond Select Toys, and they weren't Minimates! These were entirely new sculpts (still no fire/wood/water markings) and seemed to be pretty detailed. The goal is to release them for about $15 in 2011, although this is not at all set in stone and may well change. Five figures were photographed, three of which we decided were good, one was a little funky, and another we outright disliked. We prefer the line come out as cheaper, less articulated toys at a lower price point but we aren't in a position to make the call now are we?

Also, a repaint of the Aligator figure with a new axe was handed out as a gift-with-purchase at their booth! You had to spend about $20 to get it, but it's pretty awesome.

--AP via Battle Beasts News

Transformers Galvatron, Rodimus, Cyclonus Universe Set

TransformersHot!HKTF posted first packaged images of the foreign exclusive (for now, at least) Transformers Universe Challenge at Cybertron boxed set, which has arguably improved repaints of Cyclonus, Rodimus, and Galvatron. Gygor, Skeletor with Mo-Larr, Grizzlor, Orko, and others can be seen here, so check it out. Pre-orders from some online sellers orbit $40, which doesn't seem remotely awful if it doesn't hit the USA.

Sexual Milkshake's Sing-A-Long in Hebrew Getting Rerelease... Sorta

MusicRAREAn unusual (and hard-to-find) album from the 1990s is getting a rerelease on MP3 come September 7! Why not now? We don't know. There seem to be no plans for a new CD or other hardcopy release, but on the bright side Amazon is asking only $6.99, although we lost the confirmation of that, so perhaps not. There is presently no sign of the album on iTunes or, seemingly, other services.

New Funko Force Figures Kick Ass

BatmanNEWOne of the neater reveals last week was Funko's new "Funko Force 2.0" line, a 3 3/4-inch deformed line of figures inspired by their own house style for plush. We really like it-- SRP on these will be around eight bucks. DC figures were shown (and sold) at the show, including a large number of super-limited edition prepaints. Batman here was only 240 pieces. We asked about future licenses and since we did not specifically ask which ones we can tell you about, we can't say what they were, but we will say they make us incredibly happy. (And if they add in Classic Planet of the Apes we'll be very happy.)

Lion-O Icon Heroes Statue Available from SDCC

ThundercatsNEWThe Comic-Con Exclusive Thundercats Lion-O Polyresin Statue. The good: it's very limited, about 6-inches tall, and is basically an action figure minus the action. The bad: it's $60.

We don't much know which is worth paying attention to, but for $2-$8 are Face Pilot: Fly With Your Nintendo DSi Camera!, Crystal Monsters, Puffins: Let's Race!, Petz Hamsterz Family, and Absolute BrickBuster. The last of which actually sounds fun.

Basically at this stage, we're not even sure which one is the most deserving of ridicule.

Outer Space Men: Basically Vintage Kenner Star Wars Toys

Outer Space MenNEWOver on Outer Space Men News you can see images of the San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Outer Space Men toys in recent Star Wars vehicles, which gives you a sense of scale. They're basically jointed similarly to the old 1970s Kenner Star Wars toys, with few extra joints for added fun. If this doesn't give you reason to buy Mini-Rigs, nothing does.

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!

LEGO Pirates Jack Sparrow Revealed

LEGOYou Don't Know JackThis LEGO Jack Sparrow figure was on display at Comic-Con in the Prince of Persia booth which LEGO probably accurately guessed pretty much nobody was looking at. A full Pirates line has not yet been announced, but we suppose you can consider this confirmation that LEGO has something in store for On Stranger Tides next Summer..

Batman Beyond Complete DVD Coming; Funko Force 2.0 Revealed

BatmanOld Man Bruce WayneVia TVShowsOnDVD.com comes the announcement of all things Batman Beyond on DVD in a single box, plus some bonus stuff, for about $100. 53 episodes, 9 DVDs, no release date. If you missed the previous Batman: The Animated Series box like a chump (like us [or are waiting for the Blu-Ray {also like us}]), you might want to get this.

We're also enamored with Funko's Batman line of Funko Force figures, which are easily the best interpretation we've seen of the characters in some time. These are due out in the fall.

Batman Mini Funko Force Vinyl Figure Robin Batman Funko Force Vinyl Figure Joker Batman Funko Force Vinyl Figure
Penguin Batman Funko Force Vinyl Figure Batgirl Batman Funko Force Vinyl Figure Justice League Green Lantern 7-Inch Plush

As you can see, the designs riff on urban vinyl and their own plush house style, as seen in the Green Lantern pictured above. We are pleased. We also want a free set of these. (Actually we're just being snotty, we'd totally buy these.)

--AP

PS3: PSN Updates This Week

PS3Motor Toon Grand PrixNew new full games are available this week, but if you subscribe to PlayStation Plus you can get Critter Crunch, Syphon Filter, and Kahoots all for free.

PSP: PSN Updates This Week

PSPPiyotamaNew to download this week: Piyotama for $4.99. It's a bird hatching puzzle game. From the site: "Piyotama for the PSP picks up where the PS3 version left off, with Piyomama needing your color matching skills, quick thinking and fast thumbs to help her hatch her colorful eggs before they overflow the nest." Doesn't sound half bad.

Presumably the same PSOne games are also available. No we didn't see it explicitly listed.

Transformers Masterpiece Rodimus, 3-Pack Info Revealed

TransformersHotFirst up it seems early prototype images of Masterpiece Rodimus are making the rounds and this poor thing ain't barely done yet. S250 has shots at TFW2005, although issues like size and price are up in the air.

Also interesting (and contrary to previous intel), it seems that awesome Challenge at Cybertron 3-Pack with Cyclonus, Rodimus, and Galvatron may well be coming to Target. Hasbro has not confirmed this, but we suppose it is indeed possible and our fingers are crossed. It would make a great Black Friday item.

Hasbro has decided to celebrate with a Strawberry Shortcake 30th Anniversary Doll 3-Pack, sporting the title doll as well as her associates Orange Blossom and Raspberry Tart. It's due later this year and our sources (i.e., ourselves) tell us that this item will be exclusive to alternate channels, so it won't be at Toys "R" Us, Wal-Mart, Target, and so forth. Keep that in mind as you do your holiday shopping.
