Kmart Launches WWE Legends Hall of Fame on 8/28

Kmart jumps on board with Mattel’s WWE Legends line with the Hall of Fame assortment, which is essentially Legends Series 1 minus the Road Warriors plus Funk and Snuka from Series 2. Of course, if the packaging is different, then you might have some mint on card collectors out looking for these guys too.

I’ve already picked up all of Series 1 with the exception of Dusty Rhodes (I was never a big fan), and Funk was a little before my time. But Snuka was always entertaining, so I’ll probably still stop by to see if I can pick one up.

A whole lot of Transformers for sale

I’ve been to a lot of conventions in my day, but I’ve never been to one devoted to a single, specific pocket of fandom before. The Cybertronain Conference (or CybCon, as it’s known) is a convention devoted to the love of Transformers and all things Cybertronian that takes place in Tacoma, WA every August. It’s very much a DIY affair organized by Greg Gaub to give those Pacific Northwesterners who aren’t able to make the trek to larger events like BotCon or San Diego Comic-Con a place to meet, chat, buy, sell, and bond over anything and everything involving Transformers, and I have to say – it was pretty cool.

DC Universe Classics Wave 14 and Green Lantern 5-Pack First Looks – TheFwoosh.com

In case you missed them this week, VeeBee posted a series of First Looks at the Fwoosh for four of the figures from DC Universe Classics Wave 14 and the Wal-Mart exclusive Green Lantern’s Light 5-pack. I’ll post a few of the pics here, but you really should check out those First Looks. Let’s start off with the original boy who lived.

Kamandi

So, I am on cloud nine about FINALLY having this figure, and I know I have not been waiting as long as some who read the original issues as they were published. So, if you actually don’t like Kamandi – neener-neener! We have a Kamandi figure!!! If you don’t know about him – do some reading! And if you still aren’t convinced, you have to get him to build your Humanite.
