ThreeA Toys Action Portable “Palm in the Face Sunday” Fighting JC

Here’s a quick pic review of ThreeA’s Action Portable PITFS (Palm in the Face Sunday) Fighting JC. This guy is the 6-inch version of the original PITFS 12-inch Fighting JC. ThreeA had pre-orders for these figures last year and they started arriving around last month. There’s 5 versions of JC: the original black robe with red detail JC, Mauro which is a grey skinned JC with blond hair and a black robe and pants, Exegesis with blond hair and garbed in white, a track suit JC, and finally the PITFS version which is the one I picked up. Each figure costs $45 (with $15 shipping) and there was a 4-piece set ($180)  which had all JC’s minus the Tracksuit one, which was a surprise drop during the Action Portable Slicers sale.

There’s not a lot of backstory for this guy except he was sent back by the “Big Guy” to kick some butt in a troubled world. He’s a member of the Adventure Kartel team, a group that battles Zomb MD and his undead army.

Square Enix Releases Play Arts Kai DC Universe Variant Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern Press Pics

Square Enix Play Arts Kai DC Universe

I had mixed feelings when I saw the variant DC Universe figures from the Square Enix Play Arts Kai line at Toy Fair. Now that Square Enix has released their press pics of the first three figures – Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern, my take hasn’t changed. I’m mostly positive on their other DC offerings – the Arkham Asylum / City line has been fantastic, and I will probably be picking up the Dark Knight trilogy figures. The Superman: Man of Steel figures look interesting. But these DC variants will most likely be a cherry picking line for me.

I’m expecting that the articulation on these babies will be just as good as the other figures I’ve picked up, but I’m so-so on the designs. This is the kind of thing I worry about with 3A Toys and their highly-anticipated Marvel line. When you look at iconic characters through the lens of an artist with a distinctive style, there’s a chance that what you see won’t agree with you.

Did You Know Today is Masters of the Universe Day?

Masters of the Universe Day 2013

I had no idea… Seven of my favorite websites have brought back Masters of the Universe Day and I love it. As I’ve learned from the participating sites, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley so named April 28 wayyyyy back in 1987. True story.

So please stop on by the Magnificent Seven and check out all the MOTU fun! (And don’t be surprised that my favorite of all the great content is Poe’s review of the Masters of the Universe Classics Jitsu.)

Masters of the Universe Day 2013

It’s a special crossover event across seven different Toy Blogs. There’s more info at that link but basically this Sunday, all of these sites will have special MOTU content – reviews, photo shoots etc.

Brought to you by ItsAllTrue, Battlegrip, Preternia, Poe Ghostal, The Epic Review, Hoard World, and DoomKick.

Thanks to DoomKick for the heads-up!

AFP Free Stuff Giveaway – Hasbro Iron Man 3 Prize Pack

Hasbro Iron Man 3 AFP Free Stuff Giveaway

Iron Man 3 opens this Friday, May 3rd, and we’ve got an incredible prize pack up for grabs in a special AFP Free Stuff giveaway, courtesy of our friends at Hasbro. They’ve sent us some of their Iron Man 3 products, and as much as I’d love to open these babies up and play with them review them, I thought that some of our readers might want to go see the movie and then give these toys their kids (or to themselves, seeing as how we’re all just big kids, right?)

I’ll post more pics and details on what’s in the prize pack later in the week, but to summarize, one lucky winner will be getting the Hasbro Marvel Iron Man 3 products in the picture above. I’ve timed the entry period to close out this Friday at Noon PST, so you may even get notification that you’ve won before you’ve seen the movie. Good luck!
