The year is almost over and you wouldn’t believe how many Transformer’s the IAT crew have sitting around, still waiting to be reviewed. I blame Matty and the torrent of DC Universe Classics they’ve unleashed upon us in the last couple months. Anyways, we’re finishing up our War for Cybertron reviews with Megatron.
A couple weeks back the Four Horsemen announced a special "Galactic Holiday Edition" of the Outer Space Men - a new set of wave 1 & 2 colorways that included vac plated pieces and accessories. I was almost out the door for Christmas vacation when they arrived, but I just had to snap a few pics and show 'em off.
I wasn't excited when Buzz-Off was revealed at SDCC. It was odd, because he was one of my favorite toys growing up. I loved his colors. I loved his wings (though I did lose one along the way). He was great. Classics Buzz-Off really brings back those memories, but, truthfully he elicits them a little too well.
November just isn’t festive enough for Christmas toys so I’ve been holding back on this review for a few weeks. It’s been difficult because I like this figure almost as much as the original. So, without further ado, Sci-Fi Revoltech No. 17: Jack Skellington in Santa Suit.
For a line based on Green Lanterns, it's kinda funny that the first wave included only one. And an interesting one at that, with five Hals, 2 Johns, and 1 Guy already in the line, it was Kyle Rayner's turn. The modern costume wouldn't have been my first choice, but at least there's crabmask.
One of the best episodes in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series was Legacy of Terror. Not only was it well written and exceptionally creepy for a kid’s show, but it also introduced us to a new Geonosian warrior that Hasbro just made into a toy: The Undead Geonosian.
Onell Design is serving up a giant helping of Glyos tonight! The figures will be available in some new clear colors (that match some of the OSM exclusives), but, more importantly, the axis joints will finally make their debut. We've played with the new joints and we can tell you they're every bit as awesome as you think.
