If I’ve learned anything from moving into my first home, it’s that I’ll be unpacking for the rest of my life. Seriously. Every time I think of an old figure I need for a review, it’s inevitably adrift somewhere in the cardboard sea in my garage. For Dice’s review, that sorta became the theme.
I was surprised to discover the new Transformers Prime Beast Hunters figures at my local Toys "R" Us already. After pushing aside the familiar yellow plague that is Bumblebee, my choice of which one to buy was made even easier by the horrible paint job on Soundwave’s face plate. 
This week seems to be devoted to paint variants, so to go along with the trend I'm going to throw one more Starscream onto the pile. This time I'm taking a look at the BBTS exclusive Dark Energon version. This is a pretty spiffy figure that I just got in this week 
As the end of the year draws closer, I find myself trying to catch up on some older reviews that I haven't gotten around to yet. So in order to save a little time and hopefully fit more things into my schedule, I'm going to have a few "quick looks" at some repaints. 
I’m trying to catch up on some of my 2012 reviews before the end of the year, so today I’m doing two Transformers Prime figures in one review. Dead End and Wheeljack End may share the same body, but their unique head designs and paint apps make them very distinct figures.
On Monday, I got to review a long-awaited DC Classics figure: Elasti-Girl. Today is a review of a figure I’ve waited even longer for: a Marvel Legends U.S. Agent. I can’t believe it took two companies, hundreds of figures, and ten years to get this guy. This is easy repaint territory albeit infinitely delayed.
I’m not sure what to think about Hasbro’s ML reboot. I like the majority of the figures so far, but it seems like an afterthought in the toy aisle. Only one nearby Walmart carries it. Target & TRU still have their pegs, but they’re only getting in refresh cases of series two.
