I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about how I can generate more reviews for the site, and I’ve struck upon what I think is both a novel and old-fashioned solution. (more…)

Bad News and Good News

September 13, 2012 | Poe

The bad news is, it looks like I won’t be able to afford to go to New York Comic Con this year. A huge bummer, I know. I’m hoping to work out a press rep for PGPoA, however.

The good news – at least for me – is that there will be a new S.H.MonsterArts figure on display (hopefully), based on this forum post by Bluefin Tamashii Nations rep Derringer:

We’re gonna have new monsters unveiled for NYCC in October. Hopefully the licensing for the 1st Western monsterArts figure will also be done by then so we can show off the prototype  🙂

First Western monster? While King Kong would be awesome, I’ll admit in my heart of hearts I’m hoping it’s the Gillman from Creature from the Black Lagoon. Both names have been floated in the polls Tamashii Nations has run.

I know I’ve talked a lot of talk about S.H.MonsterArts here on the blog but not walked any of the walk. That will change in a big way next month. You want reviews? You will have reviews, my friends. There will be reviews. And, it being Halloween’s month and all, maybe a little blood.

…but mostly reviews.

 

BBTS has an Autumn Sale, Figma Link, Castle Grayskull, Beast Saga, Game of Thrones Funko POP!, & more

Poe’s Pick: Figma Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Link

BBTS has dropped the price of Figma Link from $64 to $50. This looks to be the best-ever Link action figure. I know some fans may be disappointed it’s the Skyward Sword link, but honestly he’s always looked pretty much the same to me.

Similarly, they’ve re-offered the popular Figma Samus figure for the same price.

BBTS is also having a big autumn sale, with Transformers, Star Wars, Marvel, DC & over 4,000 more items on sale with discounts ranging from 20% to 90%.

Now, on to the rest of the updates after the jump, including a Castle Grayskull statue, new Beast Saga figures (first wave in stock now) and Funko POP! Game of Thrones figures. (more…)

Quick Question (Toy Hunter)

September 12, 2012 | Poe

I only have so much time per week (as the recent dearth of posts indicates), but I am curious whether people would be interested in write-ups on the show Toy Hunter? Is this something I really should be watching?
