Review: Plastic Imagination Rise of the Beasts Minifigure Test Shots

Something new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!
It's time for a peek! The Plastic Imagination Rise of the Beasts Minifigure Test Shots are things you can't have - these preproduction figures showed up on my doorstep really late last year and I've been itching to show them to you. Since the actual figures are due out next week, it seemed like this might be a good time to give you a glimpse at three figures in earlier stages of development. So read on and come back tomorrow for more!

New Old Devo Live Album Coming This Month
|
A seemingly import only album is coming from Futurismo - so it's expensive. Beautiful Mutants, set your clocks to DEVOTIME! announces a previously unreleased, pre-debut LP live recording from 1977 called "Miracle Witness Hour."
Current pre-order listings on Amazon have the CD at $33 and the LP at $61. It seems to be a UK import, so either grit your teeth and pray for a cheaper US release or pony up. I'm going to have to think this one over. Reviews are already starting to surface and they're positive.

Review: Playmates Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Chief Miles O'Brien Action Figure
|
Something new every day-- unless it's old! Our 16bit.com Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!
Here's a pretty good one. Playmates Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Chief Miles O'Brien Action Figure is an action figure from 20 years ago, based on the best of the Star Treks. It's not perfect, but for 1994 it was the best you could get of pretty much any action figure line and was roughly 10 years ahead of what Hasbro was doing with Star Wars. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

Playmobil Museum, 2015 News
|
Via the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands: 'The Milkmaid' Playmobil is up for grabs for 4.95 in funny money, also known as the Euro. Shipping to the USA is also surprisingly reasonable. I'll endeavor to review it here and have it hang out with my Albrecht Durer.
Of greater significance is the 2015 German catalog with some new themes and a new entry into the dubiously culturally appropriate specials line. I'm in. The Asia Dragon line is out at Toys R Us in the USA, and vacation/campers are pretty ignorable - but there does appear to be a functioning gondola which I'll probably need to buy. Also, this.

Transformers: The Movie Soundtrack Vinyl Reissue
|
Via the blandly named company Music on Vinyl in the Netherlands, the Transformers Original Soundtrack is getting a vinyl reissue. It's on 180 gram vinyl - because pretty much everything is now for some reason - and it's due in December. The first 1,000 are on clear blue wax, and
The USA has had a history of cheap music compared to other countries, so this is probably going to be pretty pricey. Amazon has it over $50 already.

Revenge of S.U.C.K.L.E. - New Kickstarter

Ron Gilbert's New Maniac Mansion-Ish Game Funded on Kickstarter

Via Kickstarter: Thimbleweed Park: A New Classic Point & Click Adventure! Ron Gilbert made a new game that's sort of like the Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island titles from Lucasfilm Games, but it's a new thing. A new, intentionally old-looking thing with appropriately 1980s graphics as those continue to be in vogue this season.
It's already supported, and $20 gets you a digital download if you're so inclined. Boxed copies, shirts, .pdf art books, and other stuff are available if you shell out more. A full-voice-acting stretch goal is also up for $650,000. The game's ETA is June 2016, which seems about right.

Review: Tim Mee Toys Green and Yellow Prehistoric Dinosaurs Figure Set
|
Something new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!
It's new! Also, old. The new Tim Mee Toys Green and Yellow Prehistoric Dinosaurs Figure Set just hit my mailbox and is one of very few toys you'll see made in the USA. They're reissues of figures you probably had as a kid in some capacity - I had a sack of knock-offs, I think. These are pretty good - take a look at them and decide for yourself! Read on and come back Monday for more!
