(We&#8217;re shooting for a solid 18 reviews in April. Wish us well!) <\/p>\n<p>The Top Ten for the last two months was a bit of a surprise because you don&#8217;t normally see a Transformer make it to the number one spot on the list here at IAT (to be sure our recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23046\">third<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=22946\">party<\/a> &#038; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=22989\">Transformers<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=22913\">Prime<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=22882\">reviews<\/a> don&#8217;t even get a mention). That said, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=22820\">Masterpiece Soundwave<\/a> transcends the brand somewhat and his soundly trumping the competition these last two months should say something about the crossover appeal of souch a prominent character being made into such an awesome toy. I don&#8217;t envy the folks having to hunt him down at TRU in the coming months one bit (but I promise you it&#8217;ll be totally worth it!)<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the list filled out with our usual suspects from DC &#038; MOTUC. It&#8217;s interesting to see that the two retail figures (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=22575\">New 52 Supes<\/a> &#038; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=22820\">Penguin<\/a>) performed that much better than the Club <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=22868\">Infinite<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23003\">Earths<\/a> offerings. Is that name recognition or distribution making an impact there? On the MOTUC side, we all knew it would be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23010\">Ram Man<\/a>, but both <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=22903\">Jitsu<\/a> &#038; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=22804\">Granamyr<\/a> came close. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=23018\">Fang Man<\/a> finished in there somewhere too. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, the list rounds out with the first offering from the G.I. Joe Club&#8217;s FSS, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=22591\">Dice &#038; Jinx<\/a>. It&#8217;s cool to see those Joes up there and just reminds me that I really need to get caught up on those.
