Last year, LEGO announced a new line of toys specifically for girls. I had always thought of LEGO as a gender-neutral toy, but was kind of curious. When Friends finally hit our TRU shelves, I decided picked up Olivia's Tree house and give it a try.
I’ve got more updates ready to go. Some checklists have undergone some minor tweaks while others required a bit more elbow grease to get up to speed. I’m still working on a DCClassics.Com update, but Marvel Universe 2011-2012, Ghostbusters, and the Four Horsemen checklist get the spotlight today.
At the end of last year Revoltech introduced a spinoff line from their Sci-Fi series based only on Pixar characters. Naturally I had to pick up the main character from my favorite Pixar movie, WALL-E. Unfortunately the results were a bit disappointing.
Our 2nd installment in the IAT 2011 Retrospective is here: Highlights & Disappointments. Instead of doing separate lists, Vault and I tried a more back-and-forth round table article about what we liked and what we didn’t. It was an interesting effort, even though there wasn’t much disagreement.
One of my more anticipated announcements for 2012 (even though I’d be unable to attend) was whether or not the Four Horsemen would be putting together a second Toypocalypse show. Even though I can’t be there, I’m already excited for a slew of cool pics and hopefully an exclusive or two.
This week, Vault & I will be looking back at the figures of 2011, what we enjoyed, and what we didn’t. Today, we’re kicking things off with a simple top ten. Vault and I have split the duties, each crafting a list of our five favorite figures released in 2011.
A shameless plug for friends participating in the Top Cow Pilot Season! These are two standup dudes with a great comic that I’d love to see it made into a series, so I’m asking for your votes! Tonight is the last night of the poll and they need a big push!
