Xbox fans, it's time to download Action Packed Bundle, a $10/800 point game with a retired superhero. Microsoft says:
"Unhappily ever after. Thatıs how it starts. The Orb resurfaces and the classic characters return. Kobbler with his mania, Princess with her endless boredom. Itıs only a matter of time before Bob, our hero, shows up to restore order back to madness. Three powers struggle for victory and the fate of Cloudberry Kingdom hangs in the balance. What will become of the retired hero, Bob? Will saving Princess one last time win her love? Could true love ever stop Kobbler and the power of the Orb?"
Also new is Narco Terror, a $10/800 point twin stick shooter.

This week's batch on the 3DS Shop: 3DS games include Bike Rider DX, My Farm 3D, and Family Kart 3D.
Also up for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console: Kirby's Dream Land 2, a $3.99 release. It was originally a Super GameBoy title, and it is quite good. You'll get your $4 worth. (But it probably will look better on a Super GameBoy.)

Wheeled dinosaurs? The Mattel Hot Wheels T-Rextroyer is more fun than it looks, and it looks rather silly. The wheels spin freely, and the thing fires out of a launcher nicely. So read on, read our Star Wars one too, and come back soon for more!
In stores now! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Retro Collection are hitting Toys R Us stores as of last week for $12.99 each! Currently the line has Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, Splinter, Shredder, and a Party Wagon vehicle which I have not personally seen yet.
Figures were about $4.99 in 1988, and adjusted for inflation that would put them at $9.85 today - so $12.99 is about right on the money for a limited exclusive reissue.
New Outer Space Men Cosmic Creators Action Figures Shipped
Via the Outer Space Men News Blog: See Shipping: 2013 Edition Cosmic Creators Outer Space Men! Mel Birnkrant's nifty redecoes of four 2011 characters are here, or rather they will be here early next week as they've all shipped out. Reviews will likely start popping up here next week.
It's late, but not too late! The SDCC Exclusive Yellow OMFG Figures and SDCC Exclusive Blue OMFG Figures are up for grabs at the low-low price of $10 per pack. The matching Baby Deadbeets are already sold out, but the colors are the same - and they look really cool. Be sure to snag yours.

Tomy Posts Classic Zoids Animation/Ad Video - Awesome
Check out this 1989 Zoids Vido from Tomy! Thank you Monzo for sharing the link on the Tweeter!
I had a few of these when I was a kid and hopelessly pined for the rest - after all, they're Japanese toys from 25 years ago, before eBay and HobbyLink Japan. Check out the Wardick, Mad Thunder, Megatropos, and a ton of other items with explosions, smoke effects, and terrible anime sound effects. It's glorious.
Via the Glyos News Dump: Onell Design Boxes Arriving: Freebie Green Crayboth. Check out the unpainted green wonder, it's pretty swell! The Noboto figures are nifty too, plus they're still in stock if you wish to order some.
Also, a Ni Stuff drop! The store got slammed. 481 Universe Sale: Quick Sell Through Imminent basically says it all - the figures sold very quickly, and I didn't get to see his small run of painted customs with the red Styre head. Since there was no price list, this information may be lost to the mists of time already. That didn't take long.

Since they weren't ready for the last round, ToyFinity posted The header cards from the last round of Mordles! It gives a little more backstory to these little guys, more of which are due in the very near future.
Xbox fans, it's time to download Brothers, a $15/1,200 point co-op adventure. Microsoft says:
"Guide two brothers on an epic fairy tale journey from visionary Swedish film director, Josef Fares and top-tier developer Starbreeze Studios. Control both brothers at once as you experience co-op play in single player mode, like never before. Solve puzzles, explore the varied locations and fight boss battles, controlling one brother with each thumb stick. This is one journey you will never forget."

Coming soon! A Club Mordle email went out revealing New Mordles and a Mordle Contest. Sonesidar (pictured) and a very sharp Purple are on deck for the next releases. August 18 will be the date for Club Mordle members to buy these, with the regular people slightly later.
The other big news for Club members - there's a fan's choice color contest! Club members can submit a color, which will be voted on and (according to the email) produced this year.
Via Kickstarter: Gothitropolis Raven Action Figure by Four Horsemen Studios ends tonight! The long-gestating action figure line has expanded over the last 30 days with added Flamingo and Screaming Eagle figures, wings, bone wings, display stands, and even webbed feet somehow.
Adam West Batmobile, Batman Figures Hitting Stores Now
They're here! Toys R Us has started to receive the first wave of Classic TV Batman action figures, 2-packs, and yes, their exclusive Batmobile which debuted at Comic-Con. Classic TV Batman can also be ordered at Entertainment Earth for what appears to be slightly cheaper - but the Batmobile remains exclusive to Toys R Us. I spotted these myself over the weekend - good hunting, all!
At this time we don't know how widespread distribution will be on these - but hey, there's a couple of places right there!

Some people are getting theirs with a white mailer box, while others have the toy box with shipping labels slapped on the side. Also, there's a small assembly issue that may need fixing with the wing mechanism. Mine is, by and large, quite good after I figured out how to fix it.

They're great. They're big. And they go out of stock fast! I haven't seen these in stores yet, so consider this a) a public service, or b) a chance for you to buy something through these links, which gives me a couple of dollars. It helps keep the lights on over here. (We don't get a lot of ad money, so if you're going to buy them, kindly use these links.)

"It's a punk rock apocalypse! Team up with your friends to lead embattled punk rock band Charlie Murder in their epic quest to save the world from rival death metalers Gore Quaffer and their legions of evil. RPG it up as you hoard insane loot to buff your character (and look excellent), earn fans to unlock powerful finishers and teamup moves, get tattoos to channel your "Anar-Chi," and uncover mysterious relics of modern myth!"

If you like the just-closed Raven figures and are wanting to get some of the Four Horsemen's previous work, check out RavingToyManiac on eCrater. A limited number of the hard-to-find Seventh Kingdom figures are still there, including Shield of Draumm (Hippo) and Raavia (tiger) for $20 or less each. I asked the store's proprietor and found out that the $18 "loose armor" hippo figures have excellent packaging and paint jobs, it's just that a removable piece of the figure had fallen off in the package. I suspect they'll go pretty fast, but if they didn't you can snag one now on the cheap.
The guys at OAFE speak highly of the hippo and the cat lady, but warn of accessory breakage on the latter. So hey, go nuts!
Evil! MattyCollector's August Drop is, by and large, still available at press time with Shokoti, Castaspella, DC Comics' Fire, Ecto Goggles, and other goodies still in stock. Get 'em while you can!

Also up for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console: Donkey Kong, a $4.99 release. This is the NES port, as Nintendo seems committed to never, ever releasing the full arcade game anywhere ever.

Eight arms! The Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Octavia figure is based on a Filmation She-Ra cartoon design, and this is her first toy. And it's pretty cool! So read on, read our Star Wars one too, and come back soon for more!
The Club Mordle email went out revealing Sonesidar and Nebular Mordles are on sale now. Purple! Orange! And that's it. $12 per set, and the previous waves are also still in stock if you're so inclined.
Via Toyriffic: Imaginext Mystery Figures Series 1 :: Luchador is one of 10 new blind-bagged figures, and that post has a way to cheat and get the ones you want! Not only is there also a Mummy/Anubis, but there's a robot, an alien, a diver, and what basically has to be James Bond - plus a Royal Guard/Beefeater, meaning Imaginext must be pretty hot in England right now. I picked up one of these at Target last night for $2.99.

It's over! At MattyColletor.com, read Update: Final Count for 2014 Subscriptions for an update on what is or maybe isn't happening with the Ecto-1, DCUC, and MOTUC clubs. It's not all good news, but it's not all bad news either.
Club Eternia made it with 115% - you do indeed have the power! Mattel confirmed other bonus items may be sold in 2014, and won't be announced prior to Toy Fair 2014 in February. Also noteworthy: subscriptions will re-open should anyone else want to jump in now that it's a done deal.
The Ecto-1 Vehicle hit 36%, which isn't probably bad considering it's a $215 vehicle - it is not likely to go forward. Club Infinite Earths for DC Universe Classics hit 63%, also making it unlikely to continue in its current form. Rumors of a mini-subscription for the revealed figures persist, as does the possibility that remaining figures could be sold as SDCC exclusives next year or in the future.
It's newish! At Family Dollar, I found a Single-Carded Mini-Con Airlift for $3.75, which is a lot cheaper than the current asking price on eBay. It was surrounded by older figures like Pan-Handler, and it may not be news to you, but it was certainly different enough for me to take note to share with you guys. Good hunting!

But before you can save the human race you must rediscover who you are, as you desperately search for the missing data files containing your memory to piece the puzzle together. 20 years after the original gameıs launch, Conrad is enlisted back to active service for the triumphant return of one of the best adventure-action games ever created. Itıs Flashback re-imagined by its creators."

Word on the street has it that Power-Con in September should also have the first on-sale of Power Lords, so start saving now. The Outer Space Men of 2013 command an average of $17.38 (not including shipping) this year so far, so expect Power Lords to be $20 or more.
Star Trek Blu-Ray Watch: Unification, Season 5, TV Best-Of
Amazon has some new Star Trek releases you may be interested in skipping, or buying. Star Trek: The Next Generations Season 5 on Blu-Ray is obvious. It's joined by Unification on Blu-Ray, which breaks tradition from the feature-length combinations of season finales and premieres. (It would have been "Time's Arrow.") Lastly there's Star Trek: The Original Series Origins which features 5 significant episodes of the original show, minus "City on the Edge of Forever."
The two Next Generation titles are due in November, with no date given on the classic best-of.

Riddler & Penguin each come with display stands and oversized 3x5 collector cards that look like old Topps cards. Batman and Robin come with wire capes, a batarang, and a building display base that can be hung on a wall if you're so inclined. If you watched this show as a kid, I strongly suggest you buy them. They're fun.
Also, grab new Star Wars: The Black Series pre-orders!

The components are similar to the 1980s and 1990s mailings from Hasbro, and we'll show you more in the very near future.

If you're like me, you bought the original Nintendo DS in November of 2004, said "this is pretty good," shelved it, and are now considering buying a 3DS for the new Zelda game. Well, don't! The new Nintendo 2DS is a baffling un-update of the hardware removing the folding joint we've had since the GameBoy Advance SP in favor of a decidedly more 1989 aesthetic - like the GameBoy Color and its ancestors. The new system is due October 12 and does include an AC adapter. A now-essential carry case is sold separately.
The price at $129 falls under "ain't bad" - it's a cheaper way to play that new Zelda game, and as much as I hate to admit it, I really am the customer Nintendo is aiming to reach here.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows takes you back to how it all began. Be the four Turtles Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael in the fight to save New York City from mutants, the Foot and Shredder. With seamless drop-in, drop-out co-op, along with team combo moves and relentless combat, this is the game fans have been waiting for."

Via Hot Wheels Collectors: Sneak Peek: Hot Wheels Skate Punk. This is a basic car, sort of like how Hot Wheels extended what a "car" can be with helicopters and the U.S.S. Enterprise. A new Ducati and several other new castings are up to be seen - no licensed characters, but this one looks like a fun toy!
I got mine, now you can get yours. ToyFinity Sonesidar and Nebular Mordles Are Up Now. Each pack of 10 is $12, and if you've been dragging your feet all 6 colors are still in stock as well as the Manglors eggs.
While I am not the biggest fan of collecting all colors and repaints, I have, and I like them. Worthwhile if you like this kind of thing, and if you read this, I think that you do.
Also up for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console: Wario Land , a $4.99 release from the GameBoy Color. It's a classic that had zombie modes before they were in vogue, but after the band En Vogue.
