One figure for the month of October, pretty weak because they moved all the good stuff to the last 2 months of the year.

Here we have from the New Adventures of He-Man, Flipshot…::sigh:: Icarius… Thanks to “another” company–NERF– having the copyright to the name Flipshot, Mattel had to rename their character Icarius–Spelled different. Everyone and their uncle knows who Icarius is so I wont go into it.  Icarius is however the European name for the Flipshot character, so in the end, the rename is ok.

Here’s the deal, the figure is very nice and has some great sculpting and accessories. …

Below is a link from The GMA show as they talked to dealers of cool 80s collectibles.

Sorry, I cannot embed but here’s the Video!

Brings back memories. How many valuable toys do you have?

For me, almost nothing since I opened every toy I owned. The enjoyment I got from those toys is worth more than its value now. At least, I’d like to thinks so. (checks ebay while crying)…

From the popular video game called Grand Theft Auto III, comes an action figure to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the initial release. The figure is limited to 1500 pieces, and will cost $150. For more information, go here.

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. This game was one of the reasons I bought a PS2.

Capcom’s Street Fighter, now in its umpteenth iteration with over 29 million copies sold worldwide, teams up with Kidrobot to take you back to the arcade with the ones who kick-started it all – Ryu, Ken, Chun Li and, of course Blanka, the wild man.

All 12 of the original World Warriors, including the Psycho-Powered chase, are blind boxed and stylized in 3-inch vinyl. Gaming’s best known fighters, each with their own unique fighting style, bring you back to your old pizzeria face-offs.

You can purchase them here, $10 per box (random fig).

Originally I wasn’t very excited about the September figures from Mattycollector.com. Hurricane Hordak and Leech huh? Well, I guess I’m still not excited, but I’m kind of impressed with the design.

Hurricane Hordak seems to be a re-hash of regular Hordak with gold armor which is pretty cool. I have a rough spot in mine but I really don’t care. The armor is hopefully vacuum plated (it appears to be) so it stays nice regardless of the fact that I probably wont open it. Hordak comes with a few new options such as his right arm having what looks to be …

Square Enix, the company behind the 10′ Metal Gear Solid figures, has released new pics of the new figures they’re working on.  It looks like it’ll be Solid Snake, Raiden and Ninja from the first MGS for the Playstation.  I don’t have any figures from this company because they’re pricey at $50 a pop but they do look great though.  The quality is probably better than McFarlane Toys (back when they were releasing quality figures, now they’re just mostly crap).

The new figs are expected to be released next year.

Straight from Japan and after about 7 months on pre-order is Black Rock Shooter: The Game-Premium White Box.

This is the definitive version of the first Black Rock Shooter video game. Playable on any PSP world wide and in the Japanese language, BRS: The Game came in a large and beautiful box with great head-shot images of Black Rock Shooter and White Rock Shooter. This set comes complete with the PSP game which once again is playable in all PSP systems, however it is entirely in Japanese so it’s feel it out as you go along–unless you know Japanese.

Also included …

My favorite Batman costume is from the 1989 movie directed by Tim Burton.  The bright yellow background behind Batman’s symbol really stands out in a cool way against his black costume.  Hot Toys will be releasing this version early next year.  It retails for $235 and comes with grappling hook, a bunch of accessories and 2 extra interchangeable faces.

Hot Toys is also releasing a Jack Nicholson Joker figure and retails for $265 (more expensive due to securing Nicholson’s likeness)

Here’s my video review of D23 Woody action figure from Mattel.…

It took 8 months but I finally have a subscription order that made me really happy! In the past I’ve been moderately satisfied with a shipment, but this is different!

Man-E-faces is a figure that I have always liked when I was a kid and he is a big deal now–maybe even bigger. Man-E-Faces is a figure best opened however Matty has stated that there wont be anymore reissues of figures from Man-E-Faces on, so plan to see aftermarket prices triple instead of double for the figures that are being released from this point on. The worse part is, I didn’t …
