The so-called Green Lantern Classics (it doesn't actually say that on the packaging) is the newest subline of DC Universe Classics. The first wave is chock full of modern takes on characters from the GL mythos including the three Yellow Lanterns in today's review: Low, Maash, & the Collect 'N Connect Arkillo.
Taking a cue from old movie serials and Indiana Jones, the Lego Adventurer’s theme was everything I loved recreated in brick form. Now LEGO is bringing back the nostalgia with their new Pharaoh’s Quest series. First up are the two smallest sets: Scarab Attack (#7305) and Golden Staff Guardians (#7306).
Just when I thought it was safe to stop going to TRU until after Christmas... there's another exclusive. The TRU Single line showed up unexpectedly with no announcement from Mattel, so perhaps it's fitting that it ended similarly. The TRU Singles are cancelled, but "Renegade" Nightwing managed to squeak out.
Today on Facebook, Mattel unloaded three new bios and packaged shots of three upcoming February 2011 Club Eternia figures: Bow, Battle Armor Skeletor, & the subscription figure Preternia Disguise He-Man. The figures always look good in package and the bios are the usual mix of interesting and cringeworthy...
I’ve come to the conclusion that the Star Wars Vintage Collection line is unnatural. I’m convinced Hasbro is using cursed voodoo plastic to make perfect little likenesses that can’t be resisted. Why else would I be tempted to buy a nobody like Wooof, or think that a Wicket figure is actually cool?
Zatanna has been a favorite of mine since I was a wee tot. Her origin is one of the first things I ever read. And I don't mean comics, I mean out of everything. As a toy collector, a good Zatanna has been a long unfulfilled wish - she's been cursed with bad figure after worse figure. I had my fingers crossed for this one.
It’s Christmas time, and you know what that means: Lego Minifigures Series 3 (#8803)! Just in time to be the perfect stocking stuffers, this 3rd release has a little something for everyone. But this time around it’s going to be a little more difficult to find the specific ones you want.
