GoldbeatitPlaymobilVia the PCC and elsewhere: "Der GoldschlŠger" Sonderfigur von PLAYMOBIL. The German Playmobil Goldbeater celebrates the 900th anniversary of Schwabach, a town you've never been to. The figure is Û2.99 and currently deliverable only to Germany.

Transformers Vote - Who's the Next Prime?

GoldbeatitTransformersVia Hasbro elsewhere: Power pf the Primes Fan Vote. Previously whispered of as "Prime Wars," Power of the Primes seems to be a catch-all opportunity to bring leaders (or to promote characters to leader roles) in both the comics and the toys. Call me curious! Arcee, Hound, Star Saber, Optimus Primal, and others are all on deck according to the teaser graphic - which probably means new toys are coming, too. After all, who didn't love good ol' "Unknown Evil"? More as we have it!

And if there's one thing American fans want to think about in January, it's about elections for leadership.
