Take a Shot with DASH and Win a Halo 4 Prize Pack

The world of action figures keeps getting closer and closer to the world of video games, and we here at Collector-ActionFigures.com are well aware of that fact. So to honor this week’s Halo 4 release, we’ve decided to partner up with McFarlane Toys to give away a great Halo 4 action figures prize pack. In fact, we’re giving away a prize pack including four different figures including Master Chief, Elite Zealot, Storm Grunt, and Spartan Warrior. (more…)

Toy Aisle Trolls > Sad Love

Toy Aisle Trolls is a feature highlighting acts of vandalism to in-store toy items. If you find a ruined package, a stolen figure, a swapped-out figure, or any other such acts, take a photo (cell phone photos are fine if they’re not blurry) and email them to poe@poeghostal.com.

“Found this at my local Toys R’ Us in the St. Louis area.  At least the troll decided to pose Mystique to match the Harley.”

Pic of the Day > Poe, circa March 1985

I dug this out and thought it would make for a fitting Pic of the Day today, the last day to help get enough pre-orders for the Masters of the Universe Classics Castle Grayskull. Yes, this is me, right around March 1985 according to the developer’s date on the back. Contrary to my recent post, it appears I also had at least Beast Man, Prince Adam and Faker as well (which, come to think of it, I should have remembered). Battle Cat and the Attak Trak are hiding back there as well.

But the important thing is the Castle Grayskull – proof positive that I did indeed own that wonderful playset. And also, evidently, a rancor I was quite fond of.

S.H.MonsterArts Destoroyah Hi-Res Pics

In 1995, Godzilla died. As Toho anticipated handing off their Godzilla franchise to America as a brand-new blockbuster franchise (and yeah, we all know how that turned out), they decided to bid farewell to their beloved radioactive dinosaur by giving him a going-away party called Godzilla vs. Destoroyah. The film included many references to the original film, including the origin of its villain, Destoroyah – a demonic creature formed by prehistoric crustaceans mutated by the weapon that killed the original Godzilla, the Oxygen Destroyer.

With Burning Godzilla already on the way, it was only a matter of time before Tamashii unveiled the S.H.MonsterArts Destoroyah. He’s absolutely massive – the largest SHMA figure to date – and will cost around $150 (suddenly I’m collecting something getting up into the Hot Toys range…I basically have no non-MOTUC, non-SHMA toy budget at this point).

Poe’s Pick of the Week: The Dark Knight Trilogy Play Arts Kai – Batman

I’m currently working on a review of the Play Arts Kai Batman: Arkham Asylum Batman, but in the meantime, consider this figure for your collection. “The Dark Knight Rises, comes Batman as a 10″ Play Arts Kai action figure with alternate sets of hands, various weapons, and a display stand. Window box packaging.” –PG
