Toy Fair 2011 – Bif Bang Pow! Venture Bros. and Dr. Who

I hope the guys don’t hold this against me, but as much as I’ve enjoyed the Venture Bros., I haven’t yet bought any of the Mego-like figures. I think they nailed Brock Samson, but Doc, Hank, and Dean Venture were a little on the weak side – I think it was their eyes.

But Bif Bang Pow! is definitely hitting their stride – these figures have gotten better with every release, and Jonas and Rusty are perfect. When you see the figures in a big group, and knowing the number of characters they have planned, the line becomes incredibly appealing. But please, give Molotov Cocktease a little more cleavage – lift and separate!

I wish I could say more about the Dr. Who figures – I’ve never seen the show. My buddy Ayeffkay showed me this t-shirt, It Came Out Of Nowhere, and I wanted to know why the DeLorean had run into a phone booth. I apologize for my ignorance.

Green Lantern Classics Wave 1 in Stock on Amazon.com

I keep hearing about price increases at retail for Mattel DC figures, but here’s some good news – Green Lantern Classics Wave 1 has just turned up in stock at Amazon, and they’re holding steady at $14.99. And they qualify for free shipping if your order is $25 or more. With no sales tax in most locations, that’s a tough deal to beat.

Happy shopping!

Transformers Generations Kup Quick Pics

As a child of the 80’s, I loooved the Transformers animated movie. I hated that they killed some of my beloved G1 characters so easily in the beginning, but I did like that they introduced some new characters like Hot Rod, Arcee and of course, Kup! I loved his character and wondered where was he the whole time I was watching the TV show? I also liked that the Dinobots loved listening to his war stories, it was good to see the Dinobots respect somebody aside from Optimus!

So when I saw that Hasbro was going to release a Kup, I knew I had to get him. Heck, I don’t even have a Hot Rod (now I have to get one, the 2-pack with Cyclonus maybe…), and now I have a Kup!

Onto the pics!

Toy Fair 2011 – NECA Duke Nukem, Terminator, Gears of War, BioShock

I’m getting settled back in after a whirlwind trip to NYC for Toy Fair, so I’ll be posting the remaining pics over the next few days. Up next is NECA – I will probably never forgive them for deep-sixing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wave 2 figures, but I’ll admit that it’s hard to keep the blood boiling when they continue to put out awesome figures for the lines that have continued to thrive. A new addition this year is a Duke Nukem figure to accompany Duke Nukem Forever. I could make a joke about what the Forever stands for in the game name, but I won’t. I was also really impressed by the new Terminator figures, although I have a tough time finding those in my local TRUs.

They also had some more Gears of War, BioShock, and Claptrap from Borderlands on display. VeeBee was disappointed I missed the Gremlins stuff – I’m not sure how I could overlook those.
