Do you remember the last time you were captivated by a new toy? I don't mean rediscovering MOTU in its Classics form or finally seeing the appeal of Golden Pharaoh when he's been realized in six inches. I mean a new toy - no cartoon or movie, no history, or nostalgia. Just a little pillar of plastic awesomeness.
With both DC Direct & Mattel producing (roughly) 6" figures, I'm often faced with the temptation of mixing the two lines together. Sometimes it works seamlessly and other times not so much. DC Direct beat Mattel to last year's breakout character: Mera and I again find myself searching for some compatibility.
I’m rounding out the week with one more Transformers review. One of the more interesting and destructive Autobots on the original cartoon, I’m really surprised we didn’t get a figure of Wheeljack sooner in the Generations line. But he turned out pretty good, so I guess the wait was worth it. 
It’s time for Transformers Reviews Catch-up! I don’t know how it happens, but we always seem to be running a bit behind when it comes to Transformers. Today’s review is about one of the coolest looking Autobots that ever KABLAMMED! his way onto the scene, Generations Warpath. 
With DC’s new universe looming above us, they toy companies are still playing catch-up with the last big event. No, not Flashpoint. I’m talking about Brightest Day. Even though Mattel hasn’t quite caught up, DC Direct is pumping out figures like Deadman before they become obsolete. 
It boggles my mind that eight years after its last episode aired The Big O is finally getting some decent toys. Even during its heyday on Cartoon Network the best we got toy-wise was a couple of Megadeus figures. So I was truly blown away when Figma announced an R. Dorothy Wayneright. 
For some collectors, DC Universe Classics Wave 17 proved to a bit of a gauntlet. While the six regular figures were all story specific, some appearing for only a panel, & not highly demanded characters, the Collect & Connect was someone many collectors had been waiting years for: the Anti-Monitor.
