The newest addition to the Energon Universe, M.AS.K., was released today, and in celebration Skybound, alongside the regular releases and variants, they are releasing blind bag variants. There are three different comics you could possibly get in the bags, only one of which is actually M.A.S.K.#1. Normally, I wouldn’t buy a blind bag but I…

The Decepticons are Stuntin On Them! G2 Menasor Preorder Now Live

I almost completely missed the G2 era of Transformers. The only portion I remember is the rerelease of the original series with the animatronic Optimus and the little kid. I never saw any of the toys on the shelves, but I also was more into TMNT around that time. If I had looked, I would…

Time to start a new team! Today Hasbro has revealed their new two-pack with Hyperion and Doctor Spectrum. Hyperion previously had a figure released years back in the Hulkbuster wave(?) I think.

The Vintage Wave of Marvel Legends figures are beginning to hit shelves now. The wave is largely made up of figures we have received before without a Build-a-figure.

New Thundercats & DC Vnyl. Up For Preorder!

Funko’s Vnyl line is an interesting style of figure. They put me in the mind of a Rocky & Bullwinkle animation style realized in 3-D. It cool and I like it. Their currently available 2-pack with He-man and Trapjaw should be on your shelf even if you aren’t a fan of MOTU. This fall get…

DC Vinimates Black Lantern Hal Jordon Images & Impressions

I’m late to the party when it comes to Vinimates. I thought they were larger, less articulated versions of Minimates but that is not the case. They are more like mini vinyl statues in the style of their Minimate cousins. Being that it is my first Vinimate, I had a choice to make on which…
