- Holy crap, is it nearly mid-October already? You’re probably wondering where all the posts and reviews are. Well, here’s my answer. That’s Alfie, the newest addition to our family. He’s a chihuahua/terrier mix and yes, he’s named after Mr. Pennyworth. He’s proving to be a bit of a handful, but I’m hoping things will settle down a bit soon so I can update the site a bit more.
- You may have missed the fact that a list I wrote was published at Topless Robot yesterday, but that’s okay, you can read it now: The 10 Most Interesting Non-Monster Characters in Godzilla the Movies
- Toynewsi has posted a number of new pics of the upcoming Play Arts Kai Arkham Asylum Batman and Joker to salivate over. I’ll just come out and say it: these are currently my most-anticipated action figures of the foreseeable future. You can preorder them at BBTS here. I already did.
- On a related note, I’m psyched we’re getting a 6″ Batman in the Young Justice line. That said, I can understand if some fans are miffed they’re getting a Batman before a main character first, like Superboy or Miss Martian or heck, even Red Tornado. I’m sure it’s because Mattel can just re-use one of the DCUC bodies easily. And because Batman is really popular.
- It looks like NECA has solved its factory issues and will finally be shipping their first wave of Gears of War 3 figures in the next few weeks. But where’s the Claptrap?
- Finally, I’ll be at NYCC this weekend. I will be attending the various toy-related events and will be sure to post news and updates both here and on my Twitter account. Unlike Toy Fair earlier this year, I’ll actually have a smartphone this time, so fast and timely tweets and pics are forthcoming.
