"These are notable in that they are - as far as I can tell - the first Glyos/Onell Design figures to get national distribution at big stores. The vending machines keep the prices low, and it cracks open the door for more neat ideas. Just a few years ago we were talking about the democratization of designer figures through a lower-price OMFG line, and now Onell Design has discovered that you can give the things away. Collecting them all, on the other hand, may prove tricky."
You can call the distributors and order (or pick up) the figures now.

Vinyl Castlevania Soundtrack - SDCC Gone, Normal Here
Via Phil: Castlevania - Original Video Game Soundtrack 10" LP! It's a 10-inch record (or: the nerd format) with an original sleeve, 12 tracks from the NES/Famicom original, and the back boasts sequels will get pressed in the future. Yes, the good ones.
The current version is grey with black and white splatter - and of course I ordered one. It is $20. A red splatter version was sold at SDCC, but I missed that memo.
Via the Shaun: Seinfeld - "The Twin Towers". This is a spec script that, well, maybe you've heard of it - it's incredible. September 11 and how the Seinfeld crew reacts to it, totally in character, pitch-perfect in almost every way.
It is written by one Billy Domineau, and I have no idea if that's a pseudonym or not. It is worth the read.
Xbox fans, it's time to try Overcooked. Microsoft says:
"Overcooked is a chaotic couch co-op cooking game for one to four players. Working as a team, you and your fellow chefs must prepare, cook and serve up a variety of tasty orders before the baying customers storm out in a huff. Sharpen your knives and dust off your chef's whites, there isn't mushroom for error and the steaks are high in these crazy kitchens! Play solo or engage in classic, chaotic couch co-op for up to four players in both co-operative and competitive challenge modes. You'll have to cook a range of different dishes and work together in order to become the most effective and ultimate team!"
Also available: Dead Island Retro Revenge, Layers of Fear: Masterpiece Edition, Breach & Clear: Deadline, Dreamals: Dream Quest, Batman - The Telltale Series - Episode 1: Realm of Shadows, and Don't Starve: Giant Edition + Shipwrecked Expansion.

Via the Glyos News Dump: More Knights of the Slice This Week. The Toy Pizza Knights of the Slice are dropping 5 figures on Friday - I picked up one of these at SDCC finally, and man, it's great! It's a 3 3/4-inch Glyos figure, more or less in the style of what made the old Kenner guys great. I'll be reviewing one in a few weeks.
Review: Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Skeletor
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!
Perhaps this will foil He-Man! The Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Skeletor is, most likely, the figure far more people than you realize are dying to get. And it's expensive - so don't miss Beast Man a week from today. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!
It's glorious. Bat Optimus Primal from Beast Wars has been recreated with the newly-shipping Mindwipe's body, Sentinel Prime's head Infinitus, a tiny Apeface as Optimus Primal, and on top of that Galvatron's head Nucleon as the Gator Megatron head. Wow! No price has been announced, nor has a release date. But I want one. Full details are foggy, but it appears that this may be a new character in the continuity.

"The new console [...] will also offer a 'pixel perfect' display mode that shows each pixel from the original as a solid color square, instead of fuzzying things up via anti-aliased upscaling. It will also offer the option to play in classic 4:3 ratio, and has a simulation feature that mimics playing on classic bubble-fronted CRT TVs."
It's due November 11 and as of yet, there's not much of a US pre-order campaign. Keep your eyes open! And let's hope for some surprise features like Amiibo integration - I imagine a perfect world where a microconsole could download a new 8-bit game from a toy figure. I can dream, right?
The size is unclear, but one would assume these are miniaturized - the colors are crazy, giving us an example of wacky Seacons from Transformers as you probably wouldn't have even seen them during G2. Current exchange rates peg each capsule at about US $1, meaning I would totally love to buy a set at that price.

Not a real iPad! The Hasbro Transformers SDCC 2016 Exclusive Soundwave is silver, the Chinese one is gold. It's more fun than you might expect for a fake appliance - and sold out now. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!
Via HasbroToyShop: San Diego Convention Exclusives Now Live! Star Wars, Magic, and Soundwave are gone - but Micronauts and other Transformers? Those are still there.
The items aren't cheap, but prices aren't terrible either. Get yours while you can!
Some previously released art gave hints that we may see something decorated differently - perhaps a different faction - but that remains to be seen in plastic.

Via RetroUSB, makers of some new NES carts: Introducing the AVS from RetroUSB! It's a new NES clone with 4 controller ports and it costs $185.00.
The console is due around September and boasts HDMI support and zero lag - and can be powered by USB. It looks and sounds interesting, so give this a thought if the mini NES proves hard to find. It sounds pretty fantastic, and the RetroUSB crew has a pretty nifty level of output.
Xbox fans, it's time to try Anode. Microsoft says:
"Colored blocks fall, and they keep falling. You rotate them, and drop them. Faster and faster you align the pieces, creating links of matching color, filling in gaps. You touch a block with a detonator and the entire chain explodes. The blocks above them drop, another detonator touches, and another chain is gone. Then another. Invite a friend over, plug in some controllers, and dive into frantic competition. Complete long chains to send blocks to your opponent’s side, or use offensive items to trip them up. All to a pulsing soundtrack with music that gets more intense as your bin fills!"

Via the YouTube: SDCC Fortress Maximus Cerebros Easter Egg. Want to hear some music? Well, this version has it - the regular retail version does not. And as of now, we still don't know what the Japanese one is going to do. I've got the regular one but I'd be lying if I said this wasn't cool enough to make me wish I had the other version. Such is life.

Colossus Rex 2.0 - the scarce figure from 2013 is back with gold (rather than purple) accessories and a deeper, bluer green tint among other minor changes. It will be sold online at TheOuterSpaceMen.com as well as at Star Trek Mission New York and New York Comic Con.
Gamma X Cosmic Radiation - the figure will be cast in glow plastic for the first time and will be sold at Star Trek Mission New York.

Via October Toys: August 2016 Releases. The purple OTMFG Brainwaves was previously sold at San Diego Comic-Con this year. Lime Green is, I believe, new to this drop - and they will be joined by a gorgeous OTMFG pin.
They go on sale today at Noon Pacific. Be there, or don't.

"'The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore' will call it a day after Thursday's episode. ... Comedy Central is developing a project with 'Daily Show' contributor Jordan Klepper that could be a potential successor to 'Nightly' in the post-'Daily Show' slot. But Alterman said it was unlikely that any new program would be set before the start of the year." But this was disturbing: "[The show] had failed to gain ratings traction with the cabler's core demo of young adults, nor were there positive signs for the show in key social media metrics."
As an old person, the strange emphasis placed on social media - which does not really have an impact on things like sales as far as I know - is curious. Who cares? Low ratings, sure. I'm a fan of the show. But social? That's just sort of terrifying to think that what's trending could be what decides the future of entertainment and its survival. The show has a pretty fantastic stable of funny people who you may as well watch before they go off to whatever comes next.

Via the Shapeways: NES Inspired Zapper Gun w' 5mm Grip. The 3-D printed toy weapon is $5.50, and is from the guy who brought you BMOG. It's a 5mm grip, so it should fit your Transformers and many Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures.
Sighted at Toys R Us retail stores (and this is a link to buy it online from Entertainment Earth): Nintendo 2 1/2-Inch Mini-Figure Wave 9 Case. I picked up the Metroid, which was $6.99 (!) for one individual figure at the Toys R Us. A case of 16 figures online is $83.99, or $5.25 a figure. I've seen these guys as low as $3.99 lately, but $5 seems to be more of the norm. I can personally vouch for these showing up, alongside things like the "Clash of the Transformers" exclusive assortment.
Due to the color change of the packaging, odds are any non-Mario (non-red) figure will go quickly because it stands out on the racks. In other words, best of luck finding the Metroid, as well as Orange Squid and Tom Nook! Although on the latter two, there are always Amiibo figures.
This week's batch of titles on the eShop: Ziggurat, Poncho, MikroGame: Rotator, Collateral Thinking, Armikrog, Adventure Party: Cats and Caverns, Word Logic by POWGI, and Blasting Agent: Ultimate Edition.

If you thought audiophiles were fun, now there's a video game equivalent. Read this: Introducing the new Analogue Nt mini. Now $449. It's one of a few higher-end NES clones, with a wireless controller, RBG and HDMI support, and supposedly works with dang near everything - Zappers included.
This is some amazing hardware and it's just a wee bit on the pricey side. But for those seeking the best of the old, this might be it. I don't assume there will be many in-depth comparisons between the NES players coming due to the investment involved, but dang if it doesn't look impressive. The original, larger Analogue Nt got pretty great reviews. If you're rich, you should buy this site one come January 2017 when it is released. What else are you going to do with the money, spend it responsibly?
Good grief! If you're like me you're a fan of the band Guerilla Toss, but their prolific nature means there are new albums every few weeks. It's hard to keep up. I just found out that a new repress of the Jeffrey Johnson 12-inch LP has been released. And when I tweeted about it, the band tweeted back.

It's OK! The Hasbro Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Onslaught had some weird form fits initially, and later uses of this basic mold had weird knees. This one, from 2015, had some weirdness with the fists fitting together as shoulders in combined mode. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Hassk Thug. It's a nice toy figure - it looks like a cool alien that was derived from old McQuarrie art, but it could be truer to the on-film look of the alien triplets. Read the whole review already.
