While I had a ton on fun with Bane Week, it caused some MOTU reviews to be delayed. Maybe we could do a MOTU theme week one day - I'm sure Mattel would love to sell 5 new MOTU Classics toys in one month, wouldn't they? Today, we'll look at one of the three MOTU items for February, Preternia Disguise He-Man.
I was a casual Star Wars toy collector. But ever since The Vintage Collection debuted, I’ve been finding myself perusing the Star Wars more and more often. In my weakest moments I’m sorely tempted by the AT-AT in retro packaging. But even at my strongest, I couldn’t say no to this Mace Windu.
We’re doing something a little bit different today. Since The LEGO Group’s Ninjago is a game based theme, I felt the best way to present it would be with IAT’s very first video review. So check out the ancient art of Spinjitzu in action and tell us what you think about our first step into filmed reviews.
The IAT Forum has been growing by leaps and bounds. We recently signed up our 100th member and we're closing in on 20,000 posts! To help us get there quicker, we've added a new board designated for the various toy lines from Hasbro including Transformers, GI Joe, Star Wars, Marvel Comics, & More!
Okay, so like "Bane Week" was supposed to end on Saturday. Oops. Anyway, it's Monday morning, I'm feelin' good and I'm ready to conclude IAT's look at DCUC16 with a look at Bane! Well, mostly ready. This might take a couple cans of Dr Pepper to get through. It's 5am and I'm just getting started.
Bane week focuses on the last regular figure before the big man himself, the Creeper. Even though I'm not the biggest Creeper fan in the world, I was excited at the prospect of him being in the line. He looked great in San Diego last summer, but what we saw there wasn't exactly what we got when we opened the figure.
Bane Week rolls on with what was likely the most anticipated figure from the wave: Robin. Robin was also the variant figure for this wave; getting packaged with either a Bronze or a Golden Age head. I should warn you before we get into the review,, there's been another broken joint.
