I spent all of yesterday flying over the continental United States to return home, so I’m a little late with posting this, but yesterday Topless Robot posted my list of the Top Ten Toys of 2010.
The most controversial entry, I know, is the Tron figure, but that’s there because of Spin Master’s ambitious attempt at some new technology. However, the list is ultimately just one man’s opinion (with some input from Rob at TR), so feel free to disagree as much as you like.

On the one hand, I don’t like to promote rumor-mongering. But on the other hand, a surprising number of the DCUC rumors released on the Web have proven to be true, or at least partially true. Also, whether they turn out to be true or not, discussing rumored line-ups is a great way to show Mattel what people are and aren’t excited about. (more…)

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 sends in another one:
Says 3B:
I encountered this at Toy R Us. I usually see this with Mattel’s WWE Elite line as the package is easier to reseal and the vandals swap out the new figures with old Jakks Pacific versions of the same wrestler. But this guy not only replaced the figures with different wrestlers, but he STAPLED the bubble back on to the card.
I’m not really familiar with professional wrestling, so I’ll leave it to you to decide exactly which painful move should be inflicted on the piece of canine fecal matter who did this.

Poester Pez3939 sends in yet another mauling of the DCUC Gotham 5-Pack:
Writes Pez:
DC universe 5 pack with a Batman Movie Master goon and a wrestling chick with furry boots!!!!
The thief deserves to be placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, of course, but at least I understand this one.
