Bandai Thundercats revealed
Some sneaky Thundercats fans snapped some pics of Bandai’s new 3¾” line at the London Toy Fair. Follow the link for the pics–I’m not going to post them here, mostly because I don’t see any reason to get Bandai miffed at me. Of particular interest to Poesters, I imagine, is the promo pic of a [...]
Bastards of the Universe > “Road Movie to Eternos”
The Bastards hit the road to Eternos, to stop the Golden Pharaoh from selling 339/1′s gem. You might ask, why do we sometimes have two pages, and sometimes five? Um…don’t really have a good answer for that one, honestly. I also have no particular idea who the Golden Pharaoh’s men are either, even though I [...]

However, there’s something to be said for what you could call simply “fun” figures–odd, unusual, or just plain goofy figures who have a certain charm, despite not being at all [...]

DC Universe Classics Batman by Clarkent78
Vikor to return this Monday, 12pm ET
Vikor, who already appears to be a sleeper hit for Masters of the Universe Classics, will go back on sale this Monday at 12pm Eastern Time. The shipments were evidently split, as happened to Mer-Man a couple years ago.
Toy Aisle Trolls > MOTUC Mer-Man found at Toys R Us!
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. This is a first for [...]
