• Joe Amaro has posted an incredibly cool custom MOTUC toy, the “Manta Raider,” based on an art piece by the incredible Rudy Obrero, who did much of the vintage MOTU art as well as the recent Wind Raider box. Let’s all “thank” Joe for continually making and showing off awesome MOTUC stuff we’ll never own.
• Although if Mattel had any brains, they’d include this Manta Raider with one of the 30th Anniversary figures.
• Does anyone else wish this year’s sub pack-in had been a poster of the Wind Raider box art instead of the Preternia map?
• It looks like Thundercats will be back sooner than anyone expected – namely, March 24, when the second season begins. Hooray!
• BigBadToyStore now has the 2012 Ninja Turtles and Hobbit stuff for preorder.
• I’ve been upping the number of guest reviews lately. As of right now I can’t really remunerate anyone for them (aside from plugs and publicity), but if you’re interested in writing a guest review of anything (but particularly of the new Marvel Legends 6″ stuff) shoot me an email.
