That\u2019s something that should come back. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s the plan for this newest feature. IAT will run this as an experiment for the next few weeks. If it&#8217;s something our readers enjoy and benefits IAT and the other sites, we&#8217;ll make it a permanent weekly feature. Each Friday, we&#8217;ll run a quick list of the previous weeks&#8217; reviews from some of our favorite toy sites. This week&#8217;s installment features thirty-nine reviews from seventeen different sites. For the most part, the reviews will be organized by brand for easy reference. Some outlier reviews will be listed under Miscellaneous while smaller, independent releases such as Onell or Spy Monkey will be listed under the same &#8220;7th Market&#8221; heading we use for our reviews. As always, offsite reviews do not necessarily reflect the views of IAT or its staff.<\/p>\n<table>\n<td>\n<strong>7th Market<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/doomkick.com\/banimon-red-army-men-apocalypse-guard-banigoth-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Banimon<\/a> (DoomKick)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.16bit.com\/fotd\/120928-glyos-armorvor-hades-mimic.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Glyos Armorvor (Hades Mimic)<\/a> (16bit)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.poeghostal.com\/2012\/09\/quick-review-joe-amaros-mystic-hammer.html\" target=\"_blank\">Joe Amaro&#8217;s Mystic Hammer<\/a> (Poe Ghostal)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mwctoys.com\/REVIEW_092612a.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Weaponeers of Monkaa<\/a> (MWCToys)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.poeghostal.com\/2012\/09\/sponsored-review-the-weaponeers-of-monkaa-spy-monkey-creations.html\" target=\"_blank\">Weaponeers of Monkaa<\/a> (Poe Ghostal)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.16bit.com\/fotd\/120925-zombie-series-1-orange.asp\" target=\"_blank\">ZOMBIE Series 1<\/a> (16bit)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>DC Comics<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=21080\">Mirror Master<\/a> (ItsAllTrue)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>G.I.
