I’ve loved the Venture Bros. for a while, but it wasn’t until Doubledealer made not one, but two custom figures of Brock Samson that I wanted action figures from the show. Looks like I won’t have to wait too much longer. Big Bang Pow! has been awarded the Venture Bros. license, and should have bobble heads in the spring and action figures in the summer.
GO TEAM VENTURE!

Art Asylum / Diamond Select Toys has updated their list of upcoming shipping dates. The Marvel Select Cyclops shows up in June, so May does not have a Marvel Select figure. And those of you curious about what happened to the Marvel Select Best of Assortment – it got pushed back to January 20.

Art Asylum has posted some in progress pics of the Marvel Select War Machine from the Iron Man 2 movie. They snuck in a pic of the War Machine Minimate too. 😀
I think the Don Cheadle likeness is spot on, and the armor looks great. I may have to pick this and Iron Man up – they’re due out March 3.

Mattel has heard the fan outcry on the latest flocking issue with the Masters of the Universe Classics Moss Man – a lot of you want Moss Man with his ears unencumbered by green flock. They posted a question for us on their Facebook page (emphasis is mine):
Quick Updates
Hey everyone,
So a few quickies. First we hear you on Moss Man and the ears. Fans seem split but here is what might be possible.
Mossy is already in production. If (and that is an “if”) we can effect a change it means some fans will get flocked ears, some no flock. And it will be random. Are you okay with that?
Second, we had a great meeting with Digital River today and it looks like the bugs have been worked out. We’ll also be updating the FAQ on the site to review the return policy as well as offer more information. If you are still having issues with an order, post your order number on Facebook and we’ll get it resolved.
We’re still looking into new shipping options and overseas distribution, but first we need to get all the kinks worked out before expanding to any new areas. The last thing we want to do is rush things.
The Retro Action Green Arrow is almost sold out. More Retro figures will be out this Spring at Toys R Us and other online retailers. We’ll have wave 2 to show at NYTF in Feb.
And if you are in the LA area, be sure to check out the MOTU art show opening this weekend. Aside from some great artistic interpretations of the MOTU world, you can also check out a display of all the MOTUC figures as well as some upcoming releases and a new figure to be revealed Friday night! (hint: it is a celebrity figure and will be one of our SDCC MOTUC items). Full details are in our news section.
That’s it for now!

So our question to you is this:
More Battle Cat goodness, this time from the Fwoosh. I am really starting to wonder how the articulation in his mid-torso moves. It’s practically invisible, at least from the angle in the unarmored pic here – I had to check to make sure I wasn’t seeing things in Pixel Dan’s video review (you can see it clearly at 4:10 in).
Really, I don’t know what else I can say about Battle Cat without telling you what you probably already see or crossing over to a full-on gush fest (morseso). I know that this is a very subjective and fickle hobby and I have come to realize that even if I really love a figure, someone out there will probably hate it. However, if once you get this figure in hand and you can say that you don’t like it, please leave your address so I can direct the ambulance to your house because you are obviously having a breakdown. I just cannot imagine any action figure fan not digging the hell out of Battle Cat. Come the end of the year, his presence on “Best of” lists will be so ubiquitous some might wonder if any other toys came out this year at all.
