Svengoolie's MeTV Movie this Saturday: The Creature Walks Among Us. An email also went out with September's whole schedule, including a double feature at the end of the month.
September 6: The Creature Walks Among Us
September 13: The Bad Seed
September 20: Tarantula
September 27: The Night Strangler and Amityville 3-D
This week:
Inhale without Fail (Kirby's Adventure) - in which you get lunch.
Power Grab (Metroid) - in which you are the bomb.
Crumbling Crossing (Zelda II: The Adventure of Link) - in which you play bridge.
The Big Race (Super Mario Bros. 3) - in which you 4-1 like your life depends on it.
Ridley Riddance (Metroid) - in which you live out the American dream.
I actually had a lot of fun with these, I think because they went quickly. Also I see the Limited Run Gradius Origins is about to ship, so I'm looking forward to that.
Star Wars Review: Imperial Royal Guard (Halloween Edition)
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Royal Guard (Halloween Edition). This Target exclusive is cast entirely in glow-in-the-dark plastic, and is incredible when charged by the Sun. Light bulbs are fine, but for best results put him in the window. It's the same mold we got a few years ago, and it's pretty impressive for what it aspires to be. Read the whole review.

New! The Mattel Hot Wheels Hot Wheengs is a hot sauce bottle with wheels, and wings. It's pretty great. You should give this weirdo a look, it's a neat toy car. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R2-B0025 (Droid Factory).
We have had an orange BB-8, but this is the first R2 unit in orange - and it's a good one. Metallic orange paint over orange plastic makes panels pop, with green and black elements around a few gold bits. It's a really decent droid.

Posted 10 years ago! From 2014, Gentle Giant 1:6 Scale Guardians of the Galaxy Star-Lord is a piece that came out during that short window where it seemed there might be a market for comic, rather than movie, stuff. It's really well done! It's just not the movie thing. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

Star Trek's first story podcast is up: Star Trek: Khan. A new episode goes up every week, and while you probably have plenty of podcasts already it's not like we get a lot of audio dramas.
Star Wars Review: Alexsandr Kallus (The Vintage Collection)
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Alexsandr Kallus (The Vintage Collection). Good luck trying to spell the first name right, it was easier when the boxes said "Agent." This ISB stooge has a lot of great detail and articulation, and it shows what a difference a few years makes. Nobody wanted Kallus when Rebels first started, and now? People want more Kallus. Hopefully they'll follow-up with a figure based on his Rebel look later from the series some day. Read the whole review.

Pink! The Mattel Hot Wheels Kei Swap is the recolor, and feels like it came out of Saved by the Bell's opening credits. Obviously, I had to buy one to give it a look. It's a nice little van. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!
Via Kinder via Phil: DISCOVER THE [Kinder Surprise] DC PLAYMOBIL TOY RANGE! As far as I know these are only in the UK - they're supposedly not full-size, but they're the first Batman, Superman, Harley Quinn, and related figures in Playmobil style. I don't know if they're in the US yet, but you can get sets of them on eBay if you don't want to deal with hunting blind boxes for the line. I'm not sure why this exists, unless it's to set the stage for promoting a future full-size range... or a full-size range fell through and this is all we're going to get.
I read these are out in the U.K., and also McDonalds UK has Playmobil Animals in the Happy Meals. America's getting BTS. The UK has a sloth, panda, eagle, sea turtle, peacock... obviously I'm jealous. I'm pretty sure we haven't had Playmobil in US Happy Meals since the early 1980s. Checking eBay, another set of animals were sold in Canada last year. Animobil has the details. 14 were sold worldwide and I don't think any of them came out here.
According to Tiermann, the 2024 McAnimals are not made from Playmobil factories. Some are Playmobil sized, some are bigger, but they're not the exact same as the regular ones.

Still available! The Healey Made X-Raider Action Figure is a fantastic little figure that mashes up inspirations from the greatest 3 3/4-inch action figure lines of the 1970s and 1980s... and a little more. It's Glyos-compatible, it's clear, and it's pretty gorgeous. You should get one. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!
Star Wars Review: Moff Gideon (Dark Trooper Armor, The Vintage Collection)
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Moff Gideon (Dark Trooper Armor, The Vintage Collection). It's not the same as the other releases, but the coloring makes it look familiar. It's a decent figure, but one without an unmasked head. If you can find it, give it a look.

Via the Glyos News Dump: Healey Made September 13, 2025 Drop Menu . If you like 3 3/4-inch retro figures, this is a gem. Three all-new colorways are up - Gold, Silver, and Rare Earth Metal. Further, some older figures are back up including glow-in-the-dark blue. You really ought to get that one. Check 'em out!

Hasbro Gets New President of Toys and Games, Nice Guy
Via The Toy Book: Hasbro Welcomes Back Billy Lagor as President of Toys & Board Games. Previously heading up Entertainment Earth as CEO, I can confirm he's a reasonable fellow. On his time at Hasbro he worked on brands like G.I. Joe and Marvel in addition to hiring a ton of people and overseeing a lot of big initiatives. What will the future hold? I look forward to finding out!
Star Wars Review: Crosshair (The Vintage Collection)
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Crosshair (The Vintage Collection). The second team member from Clone Force 99 is here, and the first one was in 2023. Reusing a lot of Hunter parts, this is a good figure - it doesn't have all the paint you might want, but the range of movement is good and it looks like the character on the show He also has a decent amount of gear and added parts, with a swappable head rather than a removable helmet. Also most surprising of all, I've actually seen him on pegs in stores over the past month - more than once. I'd recommend giving him a look if you liked his appearances on The Bad Batch and The Clone Wars. Read the whole review.

New! The Mattel Hot Wheels Speed Driver lets you connect bits from tools, but the bits I had weren't quite a perfect fit. Close, though. It's a neat idea, and it's got a wrench spoiler on back. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Via Collider: A Classic 'Transformers' Character Goes Into Beast Mode as the Activate Your Alt Mode Winner [Exclusive]. Despite a massive outpouring of surprising love for a semi-aquatic Spinosaurus Shockwave, what we're getting is one-eyed whalie. And I'm here for it - as a kid I would've lost my mind over a whale Transformers toy. Not much in the way of specific details are given as to which size class we'll get, or what the release date might be.
But what we do have is Windblade, the first fan-built bot. Back in July 2013, Hasbro revealed the figure's design. The toy saw release in September 2014. If that timeline sticks, maybe we'll see Shockwave x Whales in late 2026.
Star Wars Review: Baylan Skoll (The Vintage Collection)
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Baylan Skoll (The Vintage Collection). This nicely sculpted and subtly decorated - depending on the light - figure turned out well. He has the requisite hilt and lightsaber. I'm not sure why the cloaks weren't included, but we can keep an eye on upcoming releases in case a variant is coming. There's a subtle blue over the figure's armor that wasn't obvious in the lighting in my office but is very apparent in the photos, plus another incredible pea-sized portrait for the head.
