 With our Round 2 finalists chosen, it’s time to kick off Round 3. Who will lead off our final dozen? I’ll give you a hint: He was poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disembowled, drawn and quartered. His last words were “Death is but a door. Time is but a window. I’ll be back.” So where the heck is Vigo the Carpathian? [...]  While customization has always been a part of toy collecting, the ‘Do it yourself’ population seems to get larger and larger by the day. And some of those DIYers have started up small businesses to sell their wares. One such company, Spy Monkey Creations, is at the forefront and making some great 6-7″ scale weapons [...]  I was so happy with the General Grievous I bought last week that I decided he shouldn’t be the lone representative of the Vintage Collection on my shelves. So, I headed off to my local Toys R Us again to pick up another figure. This time, I was after Grievous’ bodyguard droids, the MagnaGuard, and I wasn’t disappointed. [...]  Over the weekend, the Four Horsemen announced the second assortment of Outer Space Men figures – The Beta Phase Wave. These four exclusive colorways will be available as New York Comic Con Exclusives, from a few different booths, along with limited online availability [...]  On our forums, I was just talking about how I’m not really into characters that are “badass for badass’ sake”, but then I turned around and do a Drift review. It would appear that my hypocrisy knows no bounds, but the truth is I haven’t had a chance to read a comic with Drift. I bought him because he looked cool. [...]  Sometimes I find the unexpected on my bi-weekly visits to Toys R Us. Last week, I was surprised to see the new Minimates vehicles hanging on the pegs. The Hunter Killer from Terminator was particularly tempting, but I eventually decided to just get one. And the Back to the Future Delorean was it. [...]  Can you clarify where the line is being drawn for 200x influence? Second heads are out, but 200x weapons, redesigns like Sorceress, and characters like Carnivus & Dactus are still safe? From the outside, this rule appears hard to follow. [...]  Though I took a pass on the Series IV figures, I knew I wasn’t done with DC Direct’s Blackest Night line. I’ve been tempted, but steered clear of picking up a Black Lantern JLA. I’m sticking to the oversized aliens not likely to get DCUC love. Nekron offers some flexibility with his size and I’ve opted to pick up DCD’s version. [...]  Another round of Most Requested is over. The selected reader requests were placed in a head-to-head vote and with nearly 2000 votes cast, the finalists going on to December have been decided. Which requests fell on deaf ears? Which requests will join our Round One winners? It’s time to find out. [...]  We picked up the TRU Flash a few weeks ago, but I’ve been putting off his review. I just find that I don’t have a lot to say about him. Still, he needs his DCClassics.Com entry and so we’re giving him a pint-size review. Four pics, a few paragraphs, and everything you need to know about CherryBarry. [...]  Some of you might have noticed that we were a little light on the updates last week. There were a couple family birthdays and some crazy wedding preperation adventures, but mostly, I was neck deep in photographing all of my DC Classics and coding CSS/HTML for the biggest updates to our checklists yet. [...]  You may have heard over the weekend that the 200x Whiplash head caused a bit of commotion in the Mattel offices and the 200x heads can no longer be included in the line. By itself, this might not be big news, but I think it’s part of a larger issue. “Mattel Management” is trying to keep 200x out of Classics. [...]  I would’ve never pegged Whiplash as the figure to traigger an uproar, but given his name, perhaps it’s appropriate. The controversy, at least this week, is a bigger story than the figure itself, but will he really be the last classics figure with a MO2Kesque head? After having him in hand, I hope not [...]  Love him or hate him, Mo-Larr has joined the ranks of MOTU Classics. If we had to define sides, I’m Pro-Mo-Larr. I have to be – some of my favorite MOTU characters are giant bees, cowboys, elephant firefighters, and glowing skeletons. How could I turn away from an Eternian Dentist? [...]
