Vote for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the 2013 National Toy Hall of Fame

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is one of twelve brands that are finalists for induction into the National Toy Hall of Fame for 2013. I’m not sure how this factors into the selection process, but there’s also an online poll where you can make your pick.

The winners will be announced in a little over a month, on November 7. So while it’s early days yet, TMNT is getting absolutely trounced in the poll – by My Little Pony! You’re not going to let that stand, are you? There’s actually a lot of worthy brands on the list. My favorites (besides TMNT) are Little Green Army Men, Clue, the Fisher-Price Little People.

Hot Toys Iron Man Mark 21 Midas Exclusive in Hong Kong

If you’re collecting the Hot Toys Iron Man line and were hoping to pick up the Mark 21 Midas armor, you will need to get your butt to Hong Kong or find a friend there – Midas is exclusive to Hong Kong, at least for now. Pre-orders are open now (for non-VIP folks), and if I understood the translation correctly, there may be a raffle to handle this extremely rare exclusive.

Need help deciding? Check out more pics of the Hot Toys Midas from his product announcement.

Toynami Announces Reacquisition of Voltron, Retirement of Bleach and Naruto

After a short stint with Mattel, Voltron has returned to Toynami – and they’re already promising to outdo the Club Lion Force 23-incher from Mattel with a 24-inch jumbo Voltron. In my opinion, Toynami feels like a better fit for the license, and we did like what we saw of Voltron at SDCC this year.

Sad to see toy lines end – I know Sandman will be disappointed about Toynami ending its run with Naruto.

Hey everyone! Join us as we welcome return of an old favorite: Voltron!

Under Toynami’s new agreement with Classic Media and World Event Productions, fans can expect to see collectibles toys, from a all new 24″ Jumbo Voltron to a high-detail transformable die-cast, celebrating Voltron’s 30th anniversary! Look for more details on our exciting new line of Voltron products soon!

As Toynami welcomes back one license, we must regretfully bid farewell to two others. After a long and mutually beneficial relationship, Toynami has elected to end its Bleach and Naruto product lines. Thanks to all the fans for their outstanding support!

Video: Toy Guru Reviews the Power-Con 2013 Masters of the Universe Classics Reveals

Mattycollector Power-Con 2013 MOTUC Review

In this post-Power-Con update, Toy Guru runs through some of the finer features of the Masters of the Universe Classics reveals. Some of the highlights: Battle Lion parts can convert Battle Cat to his 200X version, Horde Troopers come with two of each accessory, and Modulok can come apart everywhere the vintage figure did – except at the torso.

DC Universe Classics fans, don’t torture yourself over the hook-handed Aquaman sitting carded on top of the Castle Grayskull box. I’m betting that production was underway for him even while Club Infinite Earths was starting its death throes. I’m not really a fan of the look, but I do want a Morrison JLA, so if he does go up for sale, I’ll try to get him.
