“Leech Day”? Yuck.
Anyway, Leech and his pal Hec-Tor “Hurricane Hordak” Kur (35-7-2; 24 kayos) are on sale at 12pm ET today, along with Chief Carnivus, a Retro-Action Kyle Rayner (sad to see that line limping to its doom…wish we could have gotten a Joker) and two JLU three-packs, JLU three-packs. Here’s the link to the all-in-one page.
Leech was easily one of my favorite He-Man figures of all time, and like King Hsss, my fondness for his figure outlasted my fondness for the line as a whole. I’m curious to see how his MOTUC figure turned out.

Poe’s note: This figure appears to be identical to the Disneyland Exclusive Indiana Jones from a few years back.
This year I was lucky enough to go to Disneyland Paris for our family holidays. It’s been the second time we have been with our kids, everyone enjoys themselves a great deal, but I like to make a bee-line for Adventure Land and the Temple of Peril ride in particular, not so much for the ride you understand, but for the toys.

Yeah, I know that’s Robocop vs. Terminator pic. It was the coolest pic I took and I wanted to start strong. (more…)

At the lovely Wal-Mart in Hanover, MA, some scum has substituted the Qwlman in the DCUC 5-pack with a DC Direct cheapo. Not shown in the picture, but they really hacked through the bottom of the box, and did a really poor job of patching it back together with scotch tape. How some customer service person accepted this as a return is a mystery. I have long suspected this Wal-Mart location as a center of toy collectin’ scum activity, and now I have my proof! For the record, I brought this to the manager’s attention, and he couldn’t have cared less.
