Our exciting non-Star Wars Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not! The last 30th Anniversary figure!

Hasbro revealed Beast Hunters Ripclaw on Facebook, adding to the ever-growing untrained Predacon Dragons in this line. And yes, it is a she! Some have noted the color details on the item seem oddly saturated (oddly Photoshopped.) The last time I saw this in Hasbro images were because some early leaked shots got out, and usually those heavily saturated images are also used in Diamond Previews. So my guess, were I to make one, is you'll see this solicited in Previews in the next month with her new buddies. She's 006, so we need to meet 005 still. --AP Nintendo DSi & 3DS Downloads This Week This week's batch on the DSiWare Shop: 3DS eShop games include Unchained Blades, Code of Princess, Gunman Clive, and Air Battle Hockey 3D.

Beast Hunters Deluxe Smokescreen and Bulkhead are coming, according to fully-packaged pics on TaoBao, which is about as close as you can get to a confirmation. Based on the numbering they should hit around the same time as Ripclaw. Also: check out the shared exclusive Year of the Snake Omega Supreme. It's about $100 when it hits the USA, and is basically the Energon toy from 2004 with a new head and a new right arm. --AP Free: The 2013 Teen-Beat Portable Companion Album Free! The 2013 Teen-Beat Portable Companion Album has 6 songs from 6 bands. Teen-Beat put out a ton of great bands over the years, like Unrest, Sexual Milkshake, Blast Off Country Style, and many many others. This comp has Stick Insect, Pang Wizard, and the oddly delightful Cotton Candy. The latter covers a jingle for Bumblebee Tuna (really) and it's bizarrely out-of-this-dimension in its eerie sincerity. And yes it's a song that was a jingle for canned tuna. Go get it. --AP

The October Toys Outlandish Mini Figure Guys (OMFG) Series 2 Minifigures are shipping, and you get five (technically six) new figures for about ten bucks. I like 'em! So read on, read our Star Wars one too, and come back soon for more! --AP Animal Crossing Plush Coming New! You want to see NCS' new selection of Animal Crossing: New Leaf Plush Toys, as 7 varieties are coming. Tom Nook? Yes. K.K. Slider? Absolutely. Check 'em out. --AP Cryptozoology Figures on Kickstarter Kickstarter! Richard T. Broadwater has a series of 4 Legendary Monsters on Kickstarter, with four very nice sculpts of the Jersey Devil, Chupacabra, Mothman, and the Missouri Monster. Each comes with a "victim" human figure, and they're 3 3/4-inch scale. The hurdles? Well, there's a $350,000 goal and shipping is extra on each pledge. (For the record, October Toys factored in shipping with its pledges.) They look really swell though, and the lowest tier reward is a $25 single monster set. The lot of 4 is $90 plus $20 shipping. Pledging ends February 6, 2013. --AP Target Replacing Zellers in Canada Gone!

Spanning from the original Power of the Force series of 1995 to the latest of The Vintage Collection, it's almost like a history lesson!

So read on, read our Star Wars one too, and come back soon for more! --AP New Console on Kickstarter - GameStick Funded Already A few days ago we got an email about GameStick, a portable console for use on HDTVs on Kickstarter. A day later? Fully funded. It smoked past the $100,000 goal and is sitting at $300,000 with an expected Spring 2013 release date. The concept is pretty great. A dongle that looks like a USB thumbdrive plugs into your TV's HDMI port, making it the smallest console in the history of ever. The dongle stores in a wireless controller, and the system runs on Android. (This is like another Kickstarter console darling, the Ouya.) The system is set for about $80, but software is hard to figure so far. It's a neat idea, to say the least, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing what all happens with it. (Because I travel a lot and I like the idea of a TV console I can pack up and take on a plane.) What's more, another console dubbed the "Steambox" is being talked up by Valve. Engadget has a look at the prototypes. Rumors persist of the Xbox #3 and PlayStation #4 dropping this year as well, so this could be a fairly big new generation of hardware. With the GameStick being a very physically small part of this. What can I say, I'm excited. --AP

So read on, read our Star Wars one too, and come back soon for more! --AP Transformers Beast Hunters Optimus Gallery, Pre-Order Omega Supreme (and Support Us) Wow! An Asian toy board has a gallery of Beast Hunters Voyager Optimus Prime, and it's looking good. Less "Prime"-ey than the rest of the line, he feels like a chunky mishmash of everything that makes an Optimus toy neat. Sword, guns, rockets, and a scowl on his face. He should be in stores pretty soon, as the sample appears to be a final, fully-packaged release. Also: you can support us by pre-ordering the Transformers Omega Supreme Action Figure (Platinum Edition) at Amazon.com. It's about $100, but if you click through this link (and frankly, order anything Amazon sells) we get a small cut of it.

No date is given, but he confirms it will be coming out of the same Glyos factory we're all used to. So that's good news! No pricing yet either. --AP Playmobil 2013: Alpine Theme 2013 Germany, 2014 USA! The New First Part 2013 at Animobil shows off many of the new creatures coming in an upcoming Alpine theme. Marmots, chamois, and new cows are on deck, and other themes add unicorns and, if the rumors are true, an Asian dragon-based line. Well, "rumor." I'm reading it was on a German Playmobil forum and Playmobil made them pull it, supposedly because the collector club is supposed to announce things first and it's quickly realizing that the Internet exists in 2013 and the news will break when the news feels like breaking. --AP

Many stores were picked over at 50%, but if you are in the market for a cheap thrill you really ought to go take a look for these guys. 12 figures for 3 bucks is arguably the best cheap thrill you'll get on the toy aisle, and if nothing else they're cheap blanks to treat as unpainted miniature figures. Series 4 seems to be in shortest supply, along with the Christmas sets. If you're short on case, grab those first. Good hunting, gentlemen (and ladies!) --AP
