AFP Hasbro G.I. JOE Q&A Round-Up for 3/30/10

Hasbro is conducting the G.I. Joe Q&As a little differently now, and we’re still trying to figure it out. We get to submit three questions, and then they send us answers to one or more of them (we got two answered and Fwoosh got one). After a few days, they send us the questions and answers from all the sites.

We expected to get the answer to our unanswered questions (we asked about Matt Trakker), but that wasn’t included in the full list, so maybe the round-up only includes the answered questions. Confused? We are too. In any case, here’s the AFP questions again, followed by the questions and answers from the other sites.

1) We’re psyched to get two new Sgt. Slaughters at San Diego Comic-Con, but you’ve whetted our appetites for more classicly-styled figures. Will the Pursuit of Cobra figures incorporate any classic-styled designs, or will figures be styled only according to the four different environment themes?

Thanks, we’re glad the fan response has been so positive for the Sgt. Slaughter exclusives! The Pursuit of Cobra will focus on the four environment themes but we will try and sneak in some classic elements. We can reveal more at JoeCon!

AFP Hasbro Marvel Q&A Roundup for 3/30/10

We’re back with the first Marvel Q&A of 2010 from the team at Hasbro. Thanks guys!

1) We’ve seen Marvel Universe card art for the Iron Patriot that shows Norman Osborn unmasked, holding the Iron Patriot helmet. Will the upcoming figure include an Iron Patriot head, a Norman Osborn head, or (we hope) both?

You just never know what Norman is thinking or how he’ll show up – just be on the look out!

NECA Announces Resident Evil Archives Series 2

I’m all for zombie toys, but I’d really like to see some new super-poseable figures for video game franchises.

The Roots of Evil

Resident Evil Archives Makes the Classics New Again!

Series 2 features Jill Valentine, Hunter and a Labcoat Zombie!

Capcom’s original Resident Evil might be the greatest horror game of all time. It’s a cultural milestone — the one that started it all. In June 2009, Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil was released on Nintendo Wii, and as more landmark RE titles are set for release this Fall, NECA is proud to present this collection of classic characters with improved decoration detail in Resident Evil Archives Series 2!

Jill Valentine is among the most memorable videogame heroines, and she appears in two different versions in Series 2, along with a vicious mutant Hunter and — because you always need one — a zombie in a labcoat (or, as we like to call him, Labcoat Zombie! These icons all come with multiple accessories and articulation and deluxue packaging with a display stand, and are on a zombie-blasting/brain-eating 7″ scale

Resident Evil Archives Series 2 is available for preorders now. They’ll be hitting shelves in May and of course will be featured on our Amazon storefront.

Bandai SH Figuarts Goku and Piccolo

SH Figurarts - Goku and Piccolo (1200x899).jpg — Bandai SH Figuarts Super Saiyan Goku and Piccolo

When I ran a guest review from Blue Devil on the SH Figuarts Piccolo, I knew I was going to have to take the plunge myself. It’s a slippery slope, buying figures imported from the Far East. Once you take the plunge, you find yourself getting used to paying more and expecting more from your toys. For Goku and Piccolo, I paid about $32 each, all in. But are they worth the two to three times what I’d pay for a similarly-sized figure here in the States?
