Check Out this Life-Sized Star Wars AT-ST Scout Walker

I spend a lot of time talking about action figures in the 1:12, 1:6, and even 1:4 scale – rarely do I come across life-sized items. In this case, this one of a kind 1:1 AT-ST Scout Walker from Star Wars is special, since it will tower over the vehicle you normally drive around. And while it costs as much as a car but doesn’t actually walk around, the AT-ST will set you back around $16K in a special classified ad on eBay.

The seller suggests that you can make money carting it around to shows and special events. It’s constructed in a way that facilitates transporting it. But heck, I just want this thing standing outside my house, to ward off pesky Ewoks.

Hasbro Releases Linkin Park Special Edition Transformers G1 Soundwave Exclusive

Almost a decade ago, U2 let Apple put its name on a special edition iPod, sparking the co-mingling of rock and roll with product sales. As much as the U2 iPod was largely superficial, today’s news certainly has more than meets the eye – Hasbro is releasing a special edition Transformers Soundwave with Linkin Park. Besides Linkin Park having several songs on the soundtracks of the Transformers movies, their Joe Hahn also happens to be a fan and collector of the Transformers action figures.

The Linkin Park special edition Soundwave has a unique gold deco from the G1 mold. It includes Ravage, Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw and Ratbat which transform into microcassettes that fit within Soundwave’s tape compartment. The Soundwave set is $150, exclusively from Suru in Los Angeles, through October 3, or while supplies last.

Kickstart the Transforming Expectations Toy Reference Book by BattleGrip’s Philip Reed

Just over a year ago, Philip Reed from BattleGrip launched the Kickstarter campaign for Transforming Collections, his first book about third party Transformers. Thanks to folks like you and me, the campaign was successfully funded and Philip ended up delivering a book that far exceeded the initial vision – it grew to be hard cover and 80 pages large.

He’s just kicked off the sequel – Transforming Expectations will be a companion piece, also hard cover and 80 pages. For those of you who missed the first book, there’s a pledge level that includes both – but there’s a limited quantity so get your pledges in soon!

DC Collectibles New 52 Crime Syndicate Facebook Cover Pic

While we’re on the subject of DC action figures I will have to get, DC Collectibles updated their Facebook page with this Crime Syndicate cover pic. The more I see of them, the more I want to add them to my collection. They’ll hit shelves in February and March next year.

By the way, who picked up Forever Evil earlier this month? Is it worth the read?
