Some items are low stock at press time with the Syclodoc already long gone. The colors are quite striking and even after trimming my order a bit, I still spent a whole lot more than I intended. Check it out - it's good stuff!

Silver! The NiStuff 481 Universe Zeta Force Dig Crew Action Figure is a nice figure with exceptional deco, and is one of my two favorite takes on the mold so far. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

I got the glowing OMFG, which I assume means glowing Baby Deadbeet will be up shortly. Also, that you'll be reading about glowing OMFG here in about a month or so.

White giant! The Four Horsemen Outer Space Men Beta Phase Colossus Rex Action Figure is the second (and possibly last) mass-produced prepaint of the jolly green giant from Jupiter. So read on, read our Star Wars one too, and come back soon for more!

Paramount still has a small stake in the new projects and control of the existing films, but Disney can do sequels and spin-offs or whatever they want.

It was pointed out to me over the weekend that "Old Indy" (pictured) from the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles series is about 4 years older than Harrison Ford is now, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

--AP

There are multiple items this year. For starters, there's a series of 6, one-of-a-kind "Ultra" customs. These are $50-$65 each.

New! The Hasbro Transformers Generations Autobot Skids Action Figure is one of few updated takes on this relatively obscure G1 original. Aside from the reissues and the Alternators toy, he doesn't get a ton of love - so now he comes with a ton of guns, because he needed hugs and you ignored him. YOU MONSTER. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

The freakishly weird Batmobile may look new, but it's been around for a few years in various colors. I like it - I don't want another copy of this mold, but you might want to snag one.

--AP

Submissions are open - series 4 has already been selected, but has not yet gone up to Kickstarter.

--AP

There were numerous bonuses - depending on what you ordered, you may have a free Glyan or Noboto or something else. The freebies you can't otherwise buy are packets of heads and belts, and I got them in black, light blue, and dark blue. What did you get? I'm nosey, tell me.

--AP

Blue! The Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Netossa came out at the top of the year, and her sword was made a little more recently as part of a weapons pack. Together, they're great! So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

The MiiVerse is some social network thing and I don't understand it because I'm old.

--AP

The limited edition figure is a mere six bucks. It'll go great with TenCan, which you should snag.

--AP

It looks great! No information on sizes or dates, but hey - Rattrap!

First come, first served - why wait? Order now!

The Four Horsemen confirm this set will not be out in time for Christmas but will be soon after.

--AP

3DS owners can get Mario's Picross, a classic GameBoy game, or Starship Defense. Wii U owners can snag the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 (a.k.a. The Lost Levels) or Balloon Fight.

Standor, Plundor, Spirit of Hordak, Stron-Or, the return of the Weapons Rak, and Kink Grayskull with Orb are all on deck - so prepare to spend.

--AP

In case you missed the memo, there's a significant packaging variant - pre-orders from Super7 (like the early bird kit) get blue-bordered cardbacks. Buying from elsewhere (like Entertainment Earth) gets you black bordered carded figures. Which is better? Heck if I know.

Shipping confirmations begin next week. Also, you can order from our sponsor Entertainment Earth - five figures for a mere $65. Notable: Kane's head in the photo is obscured by a lens flare and a helmet. Ash is nowhere to be seen on his cardback.

--AP

Three new sets are hitting now, and since it's Kohl's they're probably both a) expensive and b) on sale all at the same time. Good hunting!

--AP

There's a short 2-minute clip about Salt Lake City on the LP's page, and yeah, you need to hear it.

The Wii U Virtual Console has a single NES game with Double Dragon. Both a classic and a little overrated, it's about as "two player" as the original Super Mario Bros.

--AP

Other DSiWare eShop games include Orion's Odyssey.

Also up for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console: 3D Ecco the Dolphin and 3D Galaxy Force, both 3D Sega classics. (Galaxy Force II was the one with the rotating, sit-down arcade cabinet.) Also Double Dragon for the NES, if you're in to such things.

--AP

In the (rotting) flesh! The October Toys OTMFG Zombie Pheyden Mini-Figure is the first of several releases of the one-color wonder, and you should get one because it's only $2. So read on, read our Star Wars one too, and come back soon for more!

It's a 2-8 player game that costs more than a Mega Man collection for your Xbox/PS2/GameCube, but hey - figures!

--AP

Two new colors will be available. Will there be Mordles too? We can but hope!

Also, check out a number of cheap Transformers too. Again, prices are in flux, but they're mostly close to 50% off.

Fight! The Banimon Red Army Muscle Men Action Figure is a wonderful Kinnikuman-esque recolor of an already great figure. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

Shown are Crosscut, a silver redeco of the just-released (and just-reviewed) Skids from Wave 7. Crosscut is a Japanese eHobby character, and as such is unknown to any old-school-only fan. Rattrap looks solid in both modes and is a new mold with a rat mode not as adorable as the cartoon, not as grotesque as the toy. Joining them is a new Beast Machines Tankor, trading heavily from his cartoon appearances. Each version of the mold is quite different, so I wouldn't suggest throwing out your old ones - they're still good for different reasons. I'm buying this one too, I loves me some Vehicons.

--AP

This figure will most likely be available on Friday. Should you get it? I think so. Read our review of the last Robo Force toy from ToyFinity here.

Hard to find! The Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Collection Bebop is either rotting in your area, or nowhere to be found! I've seen both in my travels. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

A posting and discussion reveal what you can expect in early January from the prolific character known as The Godbeast, an old-school toy collector and someone with skills exceeding those of most mere mortals. You'll want to check these out.

--AP

This metallic red figure will join a blue one, and provide you with more parts than you can shake a stick at. Expect it on sale this Friday, because who else but serious toy collectors will be home on a Friday night?

--AP

Crosscut is a redeco of Skids with a new head, Tankor is all new, and Rattrap has a bomb in his arm. Nice! Tankor is the first new vehicon in years, and one of very few Beast Machines-inspired toys that can transform in ages.

He's an Egyptian! The Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Nepthu is vaguely ancient Egyptian, and ain't half bad. So read on and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

The Four Horsemen confirm this set will not be out in time for Christmas but will be soon after.

--AP

At least around here some of these have been in short supply, so it's quite a find at any price, let alone two for less than the price of one.

--AP

The game is a series of NES games with goofy challenges - Link is in Donkey Kong, or you can play a level of Super Mario Bros. backward.

"Download Episode One of The Walking Dead: Season Two, a five-part game series that continues the story of Clementine, a young girl orphaned by the undead apocalypse. Left to fend for herself, she has been forced to learn how to survive in a world gone mad.

But what can an ordinary child do to stay alive when the living can be just as bad ­ and sometimes worse ­ than the dead? As Clementine, you will be tested by situations and dilemmas that will test your morals and your instinct for survival. Your decisions and actions will change the story around you, in this sequel to 2012šs Game of the Year."

Cheap! The Mattel Hot Wheels Scooby-Doo The Mystery Machine is one of many editions of the car, and is the latest (cheapest) version you can maybe find if you're lucky. So read on and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

1,500 coins is a lot - a Wii U gets you 160 coins, a 2DS is 100 coins, a 3DS is about 130 coins. Games are 40-60ish, so if you don't already have the credits you should probably just resign yourself to eBay for this one.

--AP

These are the standard retail black package versions - I have a set in my hands as I write this and I can tell you, you're going to be very happy with these if you like old-school action figures.

As of yet no ship date has been mentioned for those of us who stood in line and pre-ordered at Comic-Con this year. But if you want a second set to crack open, go ahead and snag these now.

--AP

Another big announcement - Firefly 6-inch "Legacy" (think Marvel Legends) figures and 3 3/4-inch "ReAction" (think Alien Super7) figures. The only bad thing here is that it'll compete with itself.

--AP

9:30 PM EST - blue is $20, red is $18, and t-shirts are $15.

--AP

The chrome vac-metal silver weapons with the Galactic Holiday figures will be sold soon! How? When? How much? No idea.

The Wii U Virtual Console has a single NES game with Castlevania. Just get it, it's awesome.

--AP

Also up for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console: 3D Shinobi 3 and 3D Streets of Rage, both 3D Sega classics. Also Crash n' the Boys: Street Challenge for the NES, if you're in to Super Dodgeball or River City Ransom.

--AP

In the (rotting) flesh! The Jakks Pacific S.L.U.G. Zombies Ralph Reindead, Surprise Demise, Blazin' Basel Minifigures 3-Pack came out as a big surprise last year at Target, never showed up anywhere else, and got marked down within weeks of being available. So read on, and come back soon for more!

The blue cardbacks arrived unpunched, and my set (I ordered in San Diego at Comic-Con) included 6 stands as well. Also, this link goes to yet another new blog I've started - give it a look, follow it if you're in to such things. I expect the next post will be a) a Ripley review or b) Zica's Six Million Dollar Man figures arriving.

--AP

A few months ago we got a version with clear, rolling wheels - this version has no wheels and presumably comes with a display stand like the Enterprise. Good hunting, it's due in January!

--AP

Some faulty bent pins are the culprit, and since mediocrity is forever the unit was delayed until Q1 2014. I'm in no rush, I can wait.

--AP

Naptime! The LEGO Minifigures Series 6 Sleepyhead is a vaguely Christmas figure so there you go. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

Today we look at Boba Fett (Saga Legends 2013). Under-articulated, but quite nice. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

--AP

The Nintendo UDF figures are based on artwork of classic characters, and while there's no art of this one yet previous figures have been based on box art and manual art of classic NES titles. They're on the small side, but I can't wait to see how it turns out - especially since I don't have 1,500 coins for this Nintendo statue premium.

--AP

Also new: Transformers Platinum Edition Optimus Prime (Year of the Horse) Figure. This is the MP-10 mold with gold chrome and a clear trailer for $129.99, arguably the superior deal of the two.

Huge! The Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Castle Grayskull Playset is undoubtedly the biggest and therefore best playset of the year. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

Today we look at a Stormtrooper (Saga Legends 2013). Easily Hasbro's best sculpt of a Stormtrooper in this scale. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

The tasty quote comes from the Funko Funatic boards:
"Re-Action. I will let you know we are squeezing a last minute entry into our line for fall 2014..Horror. Freddy, Jason, Pinhead, Michael Myers, Sam from Trick or Treat and many more!!!"

--AP

On deck: Mr. Met, the Phillie Phanatic, the San Diego Friar, and Boston's Green Monster.

--AP

The theme is unknown but I would wager we're about due for Shattered Glass Beast Wars since the molds are more or less out there now.

--AP

--AP

Merry Christmas late! 34 years late. The Super7 x Funko Alien ReAction Ripley is the rare thing in the toy business - it's a figure that never got made, that finally got made, that you knew you wanted for over 20 years. That's pretty special. So read on and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

Today we look at a Captain Rex (Saga Legends 2013). It's the only (so far) "movie" version of the hero of the Clone Wars. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

--AP

No size was listed, and it's unknown if this will be their typical 6-inch scale or possibly a shorter 3 3/4-inch scale figure as they've been known to go in that direction. 2014 is shaping up to be exciting!

Today we look at Darth Maul (Mission Series 2013). It's rare that we get a totally new costume for a figure these days, so this is actually quite exciting. Go to Figure of the Day for the next update, with the latest installment in our ongoing series!

--AP

2 Power Soldiers are coming, as are 3 flavors of Ggripptogg. The big deal about the latter? More heads, and more deco.

--AP

Non-club members will be able to buy what's left in early 2014. The run was very low and it wouldn't stun me if the big glow Mordle was gone before the public had a crack at it.
