Hasbro has shared a ton of pictures (101 of them!) of upcoming products across its boys toys lines – GI Joe, Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers were all represented this time around. We’ll start with GI Joe – they only included one shot versus the bunch they included in the August press pics, but Sandman is liking the new line. He picked up Beachhead and the Alley Viper first, and then Firefly a few days later.

It’s the end of August, and our Top Ten poll to pick our most wanted Green Lantern-related characters for Mattel’s Green Lantern Classics line is closing at the end of the day. There is a very tight three-way race going on at the bottom of our poll – throughout the past couple of weeks it’s been interesting to watch them trade positions pretty much every day. So, your vote can definitely make a difference.
We’ll have the write-up of the results in a couple of days. Don’t forget to vote today!

Mattel’s Legends line for WWE is really picking up steam. Mr. Perfect is one of my favorite wrestlers from that long past era, so it’s great to see him get a Mattel figure.

Wow – I am really interested to see what this new license will produce. Will we get a Gene Hackman Luthor? General Zod? The prospect of a Christopher Reeve Superman from Hot Toys is very exciting.

OK. Twilight’s not exactly my thing. But back when we were still hoping for Series 2 of NECA’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle line, Randy Falk told me that Twilight was NECA’s biggest selling line. My wife and I saw these at Toys R Us the other day – she wasn’t interested, but I think if NECA made some vinyl figures there’s another Twilight market ready to bust wide open!
New Eclipse Figures
OMG OMG OMG!
  
It’s only the biggest cultural phenomenon of the last decade, so if you’ve been missing out on the whole Twilight thing, that’s perfectly understandable. Or not. At all.
The newest movie chapter in this bona fide saga, Eclipse, is the most massive yet, and you know NECA’s right in there, bringing you all the supernatural goodies you can handle and then some. Whether you’re pulling for Edward or Jacob, you’re definitely going to want to check out our newest line of Eclipse 7″ action figures!
It’s a hard choice, vampires or werewolves, and we figured why make it when you can have both? Eclipse series one features both Edward and Jacob in all their brooding/hyper-abdominal glory, plus the first Twilight villain ever to be made into an action figure (and we’d know, since we’re the ones making them), Victoria!
All three figures are available now, featured on our Amazon storefront , and if you haven’t yet seen our official Eclipse store , now’s definitely the time.

Back in March, we asked Hasbro about the possibility for an unmasked Iron Patriot variant, based on the card art by Mike Deodato, Jr. They played coy back then, but Big Bad Toy Store has one in hand. At $200, that’s a pretty steep markup, but that may just be a reflection of the availability of the figure.
Has anyone found one of these at retail? If you have shoot us some pictures!

I’m not sure if the Kirk figures in this assortment will use a new head sculpt. Spock’s new head sculpt works alright for the “Where No Man Has Gone Before” pilot figure, but I think it doesn’t fit as well as the original sculpt for later in the series.
Behold, the Power of the Dilithium Collection!
Power up your collection with these 2-pk figures from life-changing episodes!
The packs include:
- “Where No Man Has Gone Before” Kirk & Spock
- “Arena” Gorn & Kirk
- “The Enterprise Incident” Romulan Kirk & Spock
Get them in stores today!

I guess this means that Lt. Aldo Raine sold well enough for Hot Toys to warrant another figure from Inglourious Basterds. I wish the head sculpt captured a little more of Christoph Waltz’s almost mischievous characterization of the sinister Col. Hans Landa.
