The 10-pack of the long, long-awaited Scarabus figure from the Four Horsemen’s FANtastic Exclusive goes up for pre-order this Tuesday. (I own the black/white variants from the Toypocalypse event, and they’re on my long, long list of backlogged reviews.) Looks like the figures themselves will arrive in June.
Details after the jump. (more…)
Wow.
$17.99 for Titanium Man at TRU.
That’s $3 more than DCUC. Could this be a cataloging error? (It’s not.) If not, what does this mean for the relaunched Marvel Legends line next year? (more…)
Just a reminder–the poll about the colors for MOTUC Man-E-Faces ends today. Vote now!
The Four Horsemen and all four Roast Gooble hosts have stated they want the flesh-toned MEF. I voted for the middle ground, which should be classic Poe to those of you who know me personally. Anyway, barring a big last-minute surge, it looks the middle ground is going to win.
1,200 votes seems surprisingly low to me….far more action figures will be produced than there are people voting for it.
That said, we can always get the flesh-toned MEF in a DC vs. MOTU 2-pack with Two-Face–if those keep going. Given my inability to find on at any TRU anywhere, I’m not sure what the likelihood of that is.

So last night I recorded an appearance on OrccaCast. That episode, which should be out sometime early next week, will feature the reveal of the identity of this thing I teased you about a while back (I’ll have actual pics later in the week). We got to discussing the mysterious “big news” regarding Battleground Teela. (more…)
News from He-Man.org:
Power-Con*, the first annual MOTU and POP fan convention in the US, is coming!
Tentatively scheduled for fall of this year, Power-Con is working with He-Man.org to help provide the best fan experience possible.Power-Con wants to know what you’d like to see at a MOTU and POP fan convention!
Please check out this thread on the Org forums where you can post your feedback.We’ll be posting more information as it develops!
*This convention is not sponsored by, or affiliated with Mattel, Inc. or Classic Media, Inc.
OK. So I’m not 100% sold on the name, though I’m not sure what else to call it. He-Con? MastersCon? GrayskullCon? Any of those would have been a bit more indicative of the actual subject of the convention…actually I like He-Con.
…but anyway, it’s a minor point. If this convention takes place at a reasonable distance from me, I will do my best to go and cover the event.
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 AT poeghostal.com.
Poester 3B makes us all sad with this:

Found this one last night at the Target near my job. Looks like they swapped Batman Beyond for a Happy Meal-type Blue Beetle figurine.
The package was almost flawless, so i assume he unglued it at home. This troll definitely took his time…
I’ve got a lot of TATs coming in, which slightly depresses me, so please come up with your own punishments for this worthless scum.

I’m currently taking classes to get my Master’s in library science, and one of the first things you have to do is pass a technology competency test. It includes putting together a very basic webpage on any topic. To get credit, the page has to include the following:
I’m sure many of you can guess where this is going–here’s my page.
