Matty Video: Scott Talks New MOTU
|
Matty Collector posted a new short video to YouTube explaining a bunch of stuff that, frankly, I wanted to know. Horde Troopers - come with 2 of everything. Battle Lion - the armor fits Battle Cat and he won't have holes in the side. Modulok - splits apart nearly everywhere except at the abs, and has 2 Filmation-style legs. Hydron's SCUBA pack is shown and it does indeed fit.
Also blah blah who cares Glimmer.

New Playmobil: Quasi-Asian Dragons
|
Toys R Us has pre-orders up for new Playmobil Dragon sets. Toys R Us has these listed as exclusive, and they have vaguely Asian-looking figures inspired by Ninja or Samurai, plus numerous new dragons and castles.
Possibly related from Playmobil Germany, 3 Red Asian Knights. One is oddly short - insert Lannister joker here. There are some other new figures here, including a western family and a gold prospector.
Lastly, New Vampire 2-Pack. Not bad. I'll take one!

Part of the Axis of Onell, the Mystical Warriors of the Ring PVC Figures will make their plastic debut at New York Comic Con next week in Flesh and Candy Apple Red. Each 3-pack of 2-inch figures will be $9.00, and these also come out of the Onell Design factories just like OMFG our the Outer Space Men.
Each set will be sold at the Onell Design booth #102 and, hopefully, a few of each will be sold online after the show. Previous releases were largely hand-cast, and prototyped by Marty "THEGODBEAST" Hansen. Here's hoping there will be plenty more - and that I can get a set!

They're very tiny, and the set of 5 is selling for $28.90. Be aware, though, they are under 3-inches in width. Tiny.

The Missing Doctor Who Episodes: All Found?
|
Assuming it's true, the Daily Mirror reports: "Over 100 long-lost Doctor Who episodes found by dedicated fans - in Ethiopia". Numerous installments of the first two Doctor's adventures were lost thanks to the BBC's shoddy policies of keeping its old programs, and other shows could have been lost were it not for the preservation of the talent (i.e., Monty Python.)
If legit, the find is not only just in time for the franchise's 50th anniversary, but also just in time to argue if the first Doctor will enter the public domain.

NYCC: Some Hasbro Notes
|
I'm on the road and my laptop is acting up, so here's some of the Hasbro stuff that came out. The Black Series confirmed Toryn Farr, a new Dagobah Luke, a new ESB Yoda, and a Snowtrooper. The 6-inch Anakin Skywalker was also shown in addition to the mock-up cardback for Star Wars Rebels.
The Spider-Man Legends wave is the real winner with Superior Spider-Man, Movie Spider-Man, Comic Carnage, Comic Black Cat, Ultimate Green Goblin (BAF), Beetle, and Movie Electro. It looks great.
Dungeons and Dragons Kre-O look OK - not particularly fantastical, sort of like LEGO Kingdoms a few years ago with a bigger bent for Orcs. The D&D's fantastic creature catalog is largely ignored here.
Captain America Legends will feature the BAF Mandroid. Also, a HYDRA soldier. And other stuff that hasn't made it out just yet, and 3 3/4-inch guys and roleplay stuff. The 3 3/4-inch Winter Soldier looks fine, with what appears to be Avengers-movie-style articulation. (I'm not seeing ankles.)
For Transformers was what appeared to be the new movie Optimus Prime. The Leader toy looks simplified, but has some silver vac-metal parts and a $45 price tag. It's very OK, not the most amazing thing ever but certainly worth a look.

New Games for the Xbox 360 Live Arcade Released
|
Xbox fans, it's time to download Orc Attack, a $15 side-scrolling shooter. Microsoft says:
"Fart or die in this hack-and-slash action game, where fun-loving Orcs battle pollution loving Humans in a humorous fantasy setting. Orcs have become victims of brutal Human expansion, as they are carelessly poisoning the environment. Now, four trained Orc heroes are retaliating with a Not-So-Silent yet very deadly plan. In either single-player or up to four-player co-op, you will take on the role of Orcs, each wielding a unique gaseous ability, and then take the fight to the Humans in a stinky, fart-filled romp. Hilarious enemies and highly tuned combat make for a joyous experience that really is worth sharing. While the comedic storyline and the striking 3D world make it even more memoragle. Gross but charming protagonists add the final flourish with flatullent group attacks and nasty killer moves for up to four players. - Cooperative combat and dirty mode reward players for working together. - Four player local and live multiplayer - Four campaigns comprise 25 epic missions. - 30+ enemies types including bosses - Raid, pillage, and plunder human camps, collect gold to buy improved weapons and armor. - Set free the orc prisoners to add them to your horde - play as any of the 8 Orc warriors."

New Mordles This Weekend at NYCC

Via Club Mordle, we found out that there's a Jumbo Imbalance of Blood Mordle figure coming - complete with picture. A teaser of it is up for non-paying members. Trust me when i say that you're going to be mad if you miss it. It's one of those rare, "of course I want one of these" moments. New Red with Black Mordles are coming as well... plus other colors which have yet to be revealed in full.
I'd say "I defy you to name a company having more fun," but really, there's a lot of amazing stuff coming out of New York this week. Most of which is Glyos or, like the Mordles, very closely related - more on that below. Heck, more from ToyFinity below too, those wonderful people are keeping busy.

Mattel Confirms Michael Keaton Batman, Christopher Reeve Superman Figures

Mattel's DC 4-inch line is moving along swimmingly, moving from video games to movies: Comics Alliance has shots of Batman and Superman movie figures. No Joker yet, but Zod, Superman, Batman, Catwoman, and the Penguin were on display and are a fantastic place to move things along - I don't do a lot of DC stuff myself, but I would buy all of these on sight.
Presumably, these are wave 2. Wave 1 is available for pre-order at sites like Entertainment Earth, at the links below.
Also, Batman 1966 Surf's Up Joker is on deck - no sign of the Yvonne Craig Batgirl or a single-carded Robin just yet.
