Playmobil 9211 Schwabach Goldbeater Exists
|
Via 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?
|
Via 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.

|
Via Super7: "In space, no one can hear you scream.." Arriving on December 9th.. There are 4 sets of 3 figures each, and based on previous sets these will probably be about $6 each, or $2 per figure. The sculpting looks much improved over the very good He-Man lines.
There are very few - perhaps no - other Harry Dean Stanton or Yaphet Koto figures on the market today, so here you go kids. Ash even has the rolled-up magazine.

Can you learn to live off the land and turn these overgrown fields into a thriving home? It won't be easy. Ever since Joja Corporation came to town, the old ways of life have all but disappeared. The community center, once the town's most vibrant hub of activity, now lies in shambles. But the valley seems full of opportunity. With a little dedication, you might just be the one to restore Stardew Valley to greatness!"
