That’s right, it’s the end of 2012 and I figured I would do a listing of MY OWN top 10 toys that I got this year—regardless of their original release date.

Lets begin with…

10: Stinkor, from Masters of the Universe Classics! That’s right, the Stink-man is just awesome and has a fan base to match (probably) Coming with enough accessories to dress him up as either the 200X version of the character or the 80’s version; Stinkor comes complete with his orange armor, Blue shield, blue stink-gun, blue gas mask and blue stink tanks. Also included is either a …

Finally, the Black Lion has come after too many months of waiting! If the huge box was any indication of how big this thing was, then opening it was a shock to the system! Complete with Pilot Keith, the leader of the Voltron Force, this final selection is the icing on the cake!

Keith also known as Akira ‘Chief’ Kogane in the original Anime Go-Lion, was a true heroic character. Leading his team in battle against giant monsters and Prince Lotor—and guys from other shows…ugh…WHY!!! Anyhow…the butchered Go-Lion wasn’t so censored in Voltron that Keith couldn’t show his bravery against the …

NerdSociety is proud to be bringing back a thrilling feature where vintage toys get their respective due every month! In honor of her release and subsequent sell out on Mattycollector.com this morning, I thought it would be fun to check out the original Princess Allura from Voltron: Defender of the Universe!

Released in 1984 by Panosh Place, Princess Allura came packed with her helmet, blue Lion Key, and the figure herself. The front card featured wonderful art of Allura to the side with a cool space theme in the background. The Voltron title was also emblazoned across the top. I also …
