World War Robot Berties – BattleGrip

After a lot of torture (aka reading the Fwoosh forum thread about 3A Toys and World War Robot) I’ve jumped in with a WWRP pre-order. And since there’s really no telling when those will actually ship, I’ve submitted to more torture (aka looking at pictures of other people’s 3A collections).

Here’s a fun quick look at the big brother 1/6 scale WWR line. I’m looking forward to BattleGrip’s big review of the Berties 7-pack.

World War Robot Berties Hit the Outdoors

It’s such a beautiful day here that Gina and I took the dogs for a walk to the park . . . and I immediately turned us around so that I could grab robots and the camera. I love when the water’s high around the park because it lets me take some fun shots of toys in nature.

I’m getting closer to launching the series of World War Robot* Bertie reviews. Many photos have been shot, the review headers for the master entry and all seven Berties are complete, and once I get all of the Squares set I’ll begin writing. It looks like this will be a series of nine reviews . . . there are a lot of robots in this box.

First Look – DC Universe vs. Masters of the Universe Two Packs – TheFwoosh.com

In case you missed it in our Toy Fair coverage of Masters of the Universe Classics, He-Man and Skeletor are making a return to big box retailers. They’ll each be paired with a big hitter from DC Comics, in DC Universe Classics vs. Masters of the Universe Classics two packs. He-Man will be paired with Superman, and Skeletor will be paired with Lex Luthor.

VeeBee has a first look, but even better – these have already started to hit at Toys R Us, where these are exclusive. Good hunting!

Right off the bat, I have been in love with the idea of these sets since we first caught wind of them just befor New York Toy Fair earlier this month. I mean c’mon – these are just the logical next step, the natural progression. Mattel has been rocking the collector sect with their amazingly-Four Horsemen DC and MOTU lines for a couple of years now so to find a way to bring them together is like a nostalgia overload for the children of the 1980s. It makes perfect sense since DC Comics did publish a run of Masters of the Universe comics back in the early 1980s and that is the road Matty used to bring them all together. Furthermore, this is MOTUC’s very first venture off of www.mattycollector.com and into the retail aisles, that is a very exciting prospect in and of itself.

First Look – Masters of the Universe Classics Wun-Dar – TheFwoosh.com

If you’re not a Club Eternia member, here’s what you’ll be missing out on – Wun-Dar, the Savage He-Man. VeeBee has a great first look at the Club Eternia exclusive figure that will ship in April. I love the nod to Wonder Bread on the harness – check out the pic from the back if you’re not seeing it.

Day three of our First Look Marathon brings us to Wednesday – and what a Wun-Darful Wednesday it is! Yeah, sorry, I promise that will be the only time I do that. Promise. Yep, we have a preview of the April-shipping, 2010 Club Eternia exclusive Wun-Dar figure. The He-Man with a mysterious origin finally, after decades in the shadows, takes his rightful place among the heavy weights of the MOTU mythos.

However, don’t bother fighting the Red Screen of Death to get him because, well, you can’t buy him! If you are a 2010 Club Eternia member he will be traveling with Evil-Lyn and the map of Eternia in April as your club incentive figure. If you are not a Club member, well, we have some pictures for you to look at!
