Hasbro has a long history of putting gimmicks into Transformers, from Mini-cons to Powerlink to Cyber Keys. The next generation of gimmick-driven Transformers are the Power-Core Combiners. In this review I’ll take a look at Skyburst and the Aerialbots. There’s more… click to continue reading Transformers Power-Core Combiners Skyburst and Aerialbots
When we first saw that Hasbro would be making a Samuel L. Jackson-based Nick Fury for it’s 3.75-inch Iron Man 2 line, I wasn’t sure how it was going to make it to retail. So I was pleasantly surprised to ole Nick in an exclusive Toys R Us boxed set entitled Fury of Combat on the shelves this week.

A few months ago, a picture surfaced showing off several unpainted 1/12 scale WWRp robots from ThreeA Toys. However, something else caught every one’s attention – a 1/12 scale human body. The fan base went crazy wondering what it could be. It was not long before our questions were answered – ThreeA had developed a 1/12 scale version of their 1/6 scale figure body. In keeping with tradition, the first 1/12 scale human figure would be Nom de Plume, the very figure that the ThreeA logo invokes. Three A announced that people who bought the ThreeA 2010 membership would receive Nom de Plume as an exclusive surprise. I missed out on the membership but had a chance to get him and did. The big question – does he match up with the high expectations set by the 1/6 scale figures? The quick answer – he certainly does.

Today we’ll have a look at everyone’s favorite Trollan, Orko! I know he’s been out for a while now, but what the heck, I have some photos to share! There’s more… click to continue reading Masters of the Universe Classics Orko Pic Review Collection | August 23rd, 2010 |
MattK doesn’t know it, but he’s slowly but surely pushing me out of the picture taking business. It’s bad enough that he lives in Southern California, so he gets his subscription from MattyCollector.com a day before I do. But then he had to start making custom dioramas. First he made a ruined castle dio – I bet even the most diehard MOTU purists felt a twinge of regret after seeing 200X’s Count Marzo in Matt’s review. Then, to make it worse, he fashioned a rocky cliff face that he used for his review of Whiplash.
That brings us to this lonely picture I took of Whiplash yesterday. Seeing as how I’ll be doing a sort of “face off” review with VeeBee (who for some inexplicable reason digs the vintage head over the bad-ass modern head), I wanted to take a bunch of pics of Whiplash, who is now my top Masters of the Universe Classics figure. (That title had been going back and forth between Man-At-Arms, Tri-Klops, and Trap-Jaw for some time.)

Hasbro has a history of releasing Masterpiece figures from Japan in the United States and making alterations to the figures that turn out to be a detriment to the figure. However, with the Transformers Masterpiece Grimlock, this time they got it right. There’s more… click to continue reading Transformers Masterpiece Grimlock Quick Pics
At a list price of $89.99, the Shrine of Dagon Action Figure Environment is not the kind of accessory that I’d normally buy – after all, it costs quite a bit more than the usual action figures that I’d choose to display with it. But after a visit to the Sideshow booth at San Diego Comic-Con, I found myself with a gift card (they hand them out cards with random amounts on them) worth $75. I’d been looking for something like this ever since Sandman and MattK started raising the bar on their photo sets with intricate set pieces that make my plain background pictures look pretty dull. So for $15, this was a complete steal. There’s more… click to continue reading Sideshow Shrine of Dagon Action Figure Environment
 Transformers Animated Ironhide and Rodimus Minor The Transformers Animated line, for all intents and purposes, ended several months ago. However, thankfully for for fans of the cartoon and the toy line, Toys R Us has kept the line going with several exclusive deluxe class figures, Rodimus Minor and Ironhide being the most recent releases. Both are hotly anticipated and must-haves to finish off the collection and could very well be the final offerings in the line.

Ron has been following all the news about Mezco’s new DC line here on AFP since it was announced, and SDCC 2010 brought us our first batch of figs and a look at where the line is going. First out of the gate for the DC 6″ Mez-Itz is the con/web exclusive Batman/Joker two-pack. Both are in classic comic book designs, with Batman displayed in his blue/grey-with-yellow-oval-logo version, and the Joker wearing his trenchcoat (with hat, not pictured above).
