… this Sesame Street parody The HUNGRY Games is too good to pass up, even if you’re not a “Tribute,” which I understand is what an HG fan wants to be called… not Hungry Hippos or Peetaphiles.
Cookieness Evereat is the one to watch.

Weekend Toy Run: Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon Wave at Target.com
We’ve seen them go in and out of stock at Walmart.com this week, but this weekend, you’ve got another shot at the Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon wave at Target.com. What’s great is that they’re priced at $14.99 – sure, Walmart had them for 2 pennies less, but they’re out of stock again there. No surprise, Jean Grey is sold out already, but that leaves the Wrecker, Hawkeye, Black Panther, and Scarlet Spider up for grabs at Target. No sign of Punisher or Blade.
You can get free shipping if you spend over $50, or if you have a Target REDcard (which also gives you 5% off). Happy shopping!
NECA Pacific Rim Series 3 Update
I still haven’t seen Pacific Rim (no excuse now, since it’s out on DVD) so these action figures from NECA have just been cool to look at, versus must haves for my toy shelves. For those of you who love the NECA line, here’s news from NECA’s Twitter feed. Nothing yet on NECA’s website, but we’ll keep checking.
BIG news for fans of Pacific Rim!
Randy Falk dropped the news today in series of messages via @NECA_TOYS on Twitter. Here’s some of what he had to say:
“Pacific Rim Series 3 news will drop today. 2 different assortments of Jaeger and Kaiju offered at once. 4 new figures coming in March!!”
“2 ALL NEW Jaegers.. Cherno Alpha and Coyote Tango make up the Jaeger assortment. Almost 8″ tall and loaded w detail and articulation”
“The Kaiju require their own assortment as they getting bigger & badder & in turn cost a little more. S2 Leatherback gives you an idea…”
“We we want to stay true to scale as much as possible so a deluxe Kaiju assortment was the way to go. Bigger, more deco, more articulation!!”
“Trespasser will be one of the Series 3 Kaiju, in concept stage it was known as Axhead and you still might see that version at a later date..”
“The remaining S3 Kaiju is an all new & improved Knifehead w battle damage! Over 50% larger than S1 version!”
Too Good to be True – Walmart.com Shipping Marvel Legends Punisher Variants, Not Blade
Our pal Paul has gotten back to us, and unfortunately, Walmart.com is shipping out the Marvel Now! variant of the Punisher that has been shipping with cases of the Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon wave. He had hoped that because the listing shows Blade as the main picure for the item (and oddly enough, the regular Punisher with the white skull as an alternate picture), and because the cost was a little more than the other figures in the wave, that they actually had Blade in stock.
For those of you who did order hoping for Blade, you will be able to return your variant Punishers (assuming you don’t want one for your Thunderbolts team) to your local Walmarts. Mike G – sorry we didn’t find this out before you put in your order. I know you’ve got 2 on the way – if by any chance you get a Blade, let us know!

Yes Anime posted a picture of the EM-208 and ED-209 from the OmniCorp viral promo site for the Robocop remake with this tantalizing caption:
