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.

You know the drill. You get up thinking today could be the day. You hop in the car and head for your luckiest place. You arrive with giddy anticipation. It’s now or never, you tell yourself as you round that last corner. What waits? Will it be great joy or intense dissatisfaction? Anything can happen on a Toy Run…

I don’t remember much about Seaspray from the cartoon, other than that he spoke like he had a mouthful of Listerine, but there’s always been something about the little guy that made me love him. If you asked me to name favorites, he’d be in the top ten, so it’s no surprise I had to pick up the new Seaspray.

DCClassics.Com: DCUC15′s Jack Knight looks like it’s going to be a standout figure for the wave… from the front. Will the back of his jacket feature his star emblem?

Today’s nominee comes to us via e-mail from reader JasonS. Jason wrote in to tell us about the quick sellout of Lobo and what he wants it to mean for the future of JLU. In short, he’s ready to pick up more oversized characters via MattyCollector. And he knows who he wants first: Kalibak.

It took a little longer than usual, but DCUC13 has arrived at IAT! It’s been nearly five months since I snagged DCUC12 online. That’s a long gap for a line that’s supposed to go through five waves a year. Sadly, some of the figures weren’t worth the wait. Let’s get three of out of the way today: the Cheetahs.

I buy Transformers on a case-by-case basis. There are plenty that would fit nicely in my collection, but I don’t always pull the trigger on them. Sometimes upcoming figures can make me look at current offerings differently. That’s the case here, because the product shown at Botcon motivated me to pick up Lockdown.

My favorite thing about Hasbro’s Marvel movie toy lines has been the cross-pollination of the comic figures. I’ve enjoyed the IM2 movie figures, but the comic figures have helped enriched this line and I find myself looking forward to them most. After a good deal of searching, I’ve finally completed Comic Series II.

Every month Mattel unleashes another MOTU Classics figure and every month it sells out within minutes. Collectors seems to love this line. It’s hard not to – classically styled versions of the inhabitants of Eternia rendered by the Four Horsemen. These figures are the perfect mix of nostalgia and modern toy ingenuity.

Power hungry, would-be dictator? Long lost brother of the King? Apprentice to one of Eternia’s greatest villains? Disfigured victim of circumstance? Crazed host to a pan-dimensional demon? Some Masters of the Univese characters have sediment histories, but Keldor’s not among them.

Today’s nominee comes to us via our forums from Tekwych. We’d gotten into the habit the last few weeks of nominating entire lines and wanted to get to some characters that are missing from current lines. Tek responded with a nod to one of DC Comics coolest teams: The Freedom Fighters!
