It may have been a normal weekend at work for yours truly, but this was a big weekend for Masters of the Universe & Thundercats. While I was toiling away, many more fortunate, better planning, or more geographically gifted fans gathered together for the first ever PowerCon & ThunderCon in LA.
I loved dinosaurs as a kid, but I can’t remember the last time I bought a dinosaur. That is, until recently. With the new Imaginext Dino-Riders, it seems like I’m picking up a toy dino every week. And now Revoltech’s adding to my current collection with their new Jurassic Park T-Rex.
Yes, I’m back with another non-Thundercats fan Thundercats Classics review! While I ordered SDCC Lion-O first, Tygra was technically my first figure as I bought him while the other was in transit. That meant it was really Tygra who had the job of selling me on this line. Luckily, he did.
Well, I suddenly find myself wishing that I’d posted this review a little sooner. Having only recently come back into the Ghostbusters line as a collector, the news of Club Ecto-1 being cancelled was a rather hard blow. Still, the line’s not dead and that means the reviews will continue too...
I wasn’t expecting to buy any of the new Transformers movie toys until much later. Like in a year or so, when the non-movie movie figures start making their way to the shelves. But when I saw Hatchet at my local Target, he was just too cool to pass up.
I saw some somber news checking Twitter after leaving work this evening: Mattel has cancelled the 2012 Club Ecto-1 subscription program. There appears to be some shuffling going to keep the line alive and the subscription no longer fit in those plans. It kinda sucks, but the line’s not dead yet.
I might just be the type of comic fan that long-time comic fans hate. While I love a well written story above all else, I also enjoy changes to the status quo. New costumes? New powers? New torchbearers? I’m there. As such, I’ve found myself drawn to the new Fantastic Four.
