Classic Review: Diamond Select Toys Aliens vs. Colonial Marines Figure Set
|
|
  Something new every day-- but this was posted 10 years ago today! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!
Posted 10 years ago! From 2015, Diamond Select Toys Aliens vs. Colonial Marines Figure Set were a set of army man-style figures with the marines and aliens you wanted. I remember seing concepts of Universal Monsters and other licenses figures like this, but they never made it out. Well, at least these did - there were lots of styles and later, some came in slime eggs. Those ones could glow in the dark. They're neat. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

Star Wars Review: R2-H25 (Droid Factory)
|
|
 Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R2-H25 (Droid Factory). This one was unusual - it went up at $14.99, then went up to $17.99, and is now old out. Other than the hat, it looks like it would fit in with your movie droids - and I love that. Should you track it down? Read the whole review.

Review: Mattel Hot Wheels Mattel Dream Mobile
|
|
 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!
Recent! The Mattel Hot Wheels Mattel Dream Mobile comes on at least two different cardbacks - I found this one at Mattel's El Segundo company store. I've seen the blue one online, so I know it exists. The mold has been around for a few years, and now I finally have one. The red coloring looks great. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

New The GodBeast Drop Friday

 Via the Glyos News Dump: Glyos Onell Design October 12, 2025 Drop Menu. Nothing specific has been seen, but a social media post implies at least a couple are coming. If you like to build, it's going to be a great place to get some new parts. Mark those calendars!
For those keeping track at home, assuming no other Glyos figures get released, this will be six days between releases. Knights of the Slice had a drop on Saturday and a couple more are expected "soon."

Review: Super7 Micronauts Microtron ReAction+ Figure
|
|
 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!
New! The Super7 Micronauts Microtron ReAction+ Figure is a smaller and less modular take of the 1970s powered toy. If you weren't here yet, you will no doubt be delighted to get a retro-style robot with chrome parts and giant arm wheels, for some reason. I like this guy because I like old robot toys - I never had the original, so I have to just enjoy it for what it is rather than what it isn't. I'd recommend giving it a look. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Star Wars Review: Chewbacca (2025 - The Vintage Collection)
|
|
 Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Chewbacca (2025 - The Vintage Collection) . It's the new one, but it's also made up of a lot of parts from the 2004 figure still. They did a great job back then, but I'd also love to see what a 100%-new figure might look like. This one can sit a little better, and the head paint is good - but the bandolier might get in the way of hanging out on a chair in your Cantina if you don't angle him right.

Classic Review: Funko Gremlins Christmas Gizmo ReAction Figure
|
|
 Something new every day-- but this was posted 10 years ago today! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!
Posted 10 years ago! From 2015, Funko Gremlins Christmas Gizmo ReAction Figure. When they first came out, I ordered all of them - but the early Funko figures were a mix of cool collectibles, and self-destructing toys with stuck joints or weird elements (like Doc Brown's neck) that caused the figure's torso to wrench open. Santa Gizmo had a stuck arm, which was obnoxious. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

Star Wars Review: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Blue Tech Speeder Bike / Epic World of Action)
|
|
 Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Blue Tech Speeder Bike / Epic World of Action). I've never seen this in a store - but you can get it online. The bike is a nifty new mold with swing-out wings, rolling wheels, and a firing rocket. Obi-Wan is a mix of unique parts and elements shared with other figures - and a great head sculpt for a kid item. If you can find it for a fair price, especially at or under $20, get it.

Review: Mattel He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Cartoon Collection Buzz-Off Action Figure
|
|
 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!
Recent! The Mattel He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Cartoon Collection Buzz-Off Action Figure may still be around, and looks so good you can practically hear the weird voice from the cartoon. He has a lance, a comic, and more or less looks like you remember from TV. There are quite a few changes from the toy model, so you're going to find out real quick if you're a "toy" fan or a "cartoon" fan. I only knew the characters from the cartoon as a kid, so I definitely prefer this one. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Review: The GodBeast Glyos Void Mothman Monstor

 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!
New! The The GodBeast Glyos Void Mothman Monstor arrived last month and since then, we've seen the number of colorways increase to about six. But that's a good thing - with multiple heads and configurations, you can make a lot of bunnies, moths, spiders, and monsters out of this larger-than-average Glyos-compatible figure. A silver one is still available, but the rest all sold out rather quickly. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

ICYMI: Frank Santopadre Returned to Podcasting
|
|
  I was watching Svengoolie and saw a graphic promoting Frank Santopadre's Fun For All Ages! The show started a few months ago, with a lot of the same people appearing and someone doing a decent impression of his late co-host, the great Gilbert Gottfried. I started listening to Memories of "Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast!" w/ Dara Gottfried, Gino Salomone and Alan Zweibel after lunch while shooting some new toys and was finding myself laughing out loud often. I should note, this is probably due to my having listened to all of Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast over several years. It was a fantastic show.
After losing one of my favorite podcasts last year I was looking for a new replacement, and I think this is going to fit the bill. I've got some catching up to do. If you're familiar with these guys, now you know it exists too. They got Drew Friedman and Dana Gould on the guest roster, so you know I'm going to listen.

Kickstarter - The Mighty Orbots
|
|
  Via Kickstarter: Mighty Orbots Deluxe Combining 12" Figure (1985 Edition). I am not one who should ever turn my nose up at obscure toys from an underappreciated cartoon from 1985, but here's one that surprised me. The cartoon was to have had a Mattel die-cast metal robot toy set, but it never came to be. Heck, I don't even remember the show and I was extremely interested in Saturday Morning cartoons of that era. Its peers were GoBots, Transformers, and Voltron... and it does look a little more primitive than those other toys. But, it should, if they're trying to match the original concept.
The big set is $300, but there's also bundle with the Shadow version too. There's also a $20 level for the Beam Car and Ohno, which is pretty darned cheap for a low-run special item from a 40 year old cartoon that probably went mostly unremembered. It just started with 29 days to go, and is about 20% of the way there. I think it has a good chance.

Review: Hasbro Transformers x Hot Wheels Collaborative Twin Mill
|
|
 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!
Just hitting stores now! The Hasbro Transformers x Hot Wheels Collaborative Twin Mill just might be at a store near you, or online. It's built by a slightly different design team, but is a pretty great vehicle-first deluxe-ish sized toy. I really like this one and his companion Bone Shaker, which we'll look at next month. (I'm shooting for 5 reviews a week for January and February, so I have to work ahead now.) I really like these guys, and would say they're worth a look if you want new cars and new characters. Presumably, you do. Read on!

Star Wars Review: Snaggletooth (Cantina Adventure Set - The Vintage Collection)
|
|
 Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Snaggletooth (Cantina Adventure Set - The Vintage Collection). A more or less modern mold painted to look like the very first Sears exclusive Star Wars figure! This guy has a blaster, three other figures, and a diorama - and the price is pretty fair for what you get in the box. The boots are molded in silver (rather than painted) plus he has pale skin and that thin red smile. It's distinctive, and you should probably buy two. Read the whole review.

Star Wars Review: Wuher (2025 - The Vintage Collection)
|
|
 Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Wuher (2025 - The Vintage Collection). I was happy with the old one from 2000, but this one is better. If we never got this update with the HasLab Cantina, I'd still have been happy with the 25-year-old release - but wow. Painted chest hair. Facial bruising. Bags under the eyes. A separately molded hair piece. Incredible articulation. And, for some reason, an alternate hand which adds no actual functionality since his regular mitts can hold glasses just fine. He's got a blaster too. I'd say "get this one" but that ship has theoretically sailed unless you're going to the Bay of E.
