A little over a year ago, the IAT crew trekked to Kansas City to cover the annual G.I. Joe convention, Joe Con. During the Hasbro panel, the convention room was treated to a surprise: the unveiling of the brand new H.I.S.S. Tank. After a year, I finally got a chance to own one.
This review features a false face, a robot face, a bandaged face, a translucent face, and a skull face. Not impressed? What if we told you this review only features three figures? It's time for Cyclotron, Negative Man, and his unbandaged variant.
This review has got the blues. No, it's not that kind of review. It simply features two of DC's azure-clad characters, Blue Devil & Blue Beetle III, in a tale of extra articulation, the inequities of yellow paint, and a hard decision for our favorite trident carrying blue hero.
If you follow Mattel rumors, DCUC13's lineup had to be rearranged early on. Some say it was because DC asked for certain characters to be held back, but we'll never know for sure. Still, the lineup seems devoid of an A-list play pattern. Superboy has the top spot, but I'm not sure how Donna Troy is supposed to pair off with him.
It seems like there were a lot toys at various conventions last Summer, that I'm just now seeing at stores. It happened again just the other day. After wading through endless Batmen & Zombie Hitmen, I was lucky enough to finally hit up my local Toys R Us the day they received the Brave & the Bold Starro, and some Gold guy.
