It eats! The Playmates Gormiti Murena Den Playset with Hammer the Predator Figure was a nifty toy that can eat smaller toys - say Mordles - and may still be rotting at a Toys R Us near you at full price. So read on, read our Star Wars one too, and come back soon for more!

I am still looking to see if anyone keeps a database of this information because that'd be a fantastic thing to add to a wiki somewhere. This article isn't particularly new, but it's new to me and I thought worth sharing.

The roughly 8-inch figure costs $39 and may be shipping now, the site has some inconsistencies on the ETA. Either way, it's worth a look.

--AP

It's $1 if you can find it, and it's different from the previous Tim Burton Batmobile a few years ago. Except, you know, you might have a chance of stumbling on it at the CVS.

Sneak preview! The ToyFinity Mordles Crawler (Blue) Mini-Figures won't be on sale until next week for club members, so we're going to go ahead and look at these advance samples early. They're pretty fantastic, and the asking price seems more than fair for a property best known for being exceedingly rare and weird (and awesome).

The exclusive car costs $3.50 plus the purchase of 20 cars - but it gets complicated. You have to buy 20 cars - but they have to be from Toys R Us, and it has to be purchased between June 30 and August 31. Then, you have to send in the receipts and the entire cardback from 20 cars to Mattel. So basically, this nifty $1 mail-in car will set you back at least $5 in supplies, plus cars. It's sort of a lot of hoops to jump through, but that is the price of love.

That's one way to clear out the stores!

And now the bad news - due to a glitch seemingly with Paypal, there were order/inventory issues and 100% of the orders have been/will be refunded and the drop will be rescheduled for a later date. If there was a bright side, as of when I looked about an hour after the drop or so, nothing had yet sold out due to larger quantities.

Two of the items are free, but you're going to want to shell out some money for these. Free items include figure stands and catalogs, while paid items include Early Bird kits and gorgeous faux prototype figures.

First up: the faux-totypes.

A limited number of blue figures were cast to look like the real (and fake) "Blue Harvest" prototypes commonly seen in the 1990s. This huge gallery shows you pretty dang much everything you could possibly want to see.

It comes to you in a small box similar to Kenner's mail-in offers of the 1970s and 1980s, with a tongue-in-cheek letter about how the "upcoming" line would be a huge hit in 1979. The set is $40. No edition size given.

Next up: an actual Early Bird Kit. The set is $100 and is the empty box gambit from 1977 that kicked off Star Wars - you pay for the set and get a stage, some stickers, and basically what amounts to a slavish recreation of the Kenner original with one key difference: you get five figures this time.

There are also some free Display Stands. These are going to be the sleeper hit of the show, I'm already sweating how I will get 2-7 of them for my other figures.

The language in the video and character names aren't remotely family friendly, but they are consistent with the artist behind the figures known to most as Sucklord. Suckadelic, DKE, and George Gaspar of October Toys are working on this project and it seems to be pretty successful so far.
