- Check out this fun AFI article on the DNA of Kenner’s frankensteinian Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves line (which I’ve previously discussed here).
- I actually got all 440 Riddler puzzles in Arkham City. I was tempted to go for 100% completion, but the truth is I find all the non-Predator challenges pretty boring. 100% completion in Arkham City does not reward diehard Bat-fans or game players…it rewards the obsessive-compulsive.
- GeekChicDaily is having a pretty awesome contest to celebrate the holiday season. You can win a slew of geeky goodies by entering right here.
- I was asked by my friend and former ToyFare editor Adam Tracey to pass along this link to his website, JoeShopping.com. Their theme this holiday season is “The Last Christmas Ever,” since as we all know 2012 will be the end of the world according to willful ignorance.
- Sponsor News: BigBadToyStore has preorders (sets and singles) for the incredibly awesome G.I. Joe Series 04 2012–which features the Zombie-Viper and Sci-Fi; a pre-order for the kick-ass Play Arts Kai Nathan Drake fromUncharted; and a preorder for the MonsterArts SpaceGodzilla, which I have mixed feelings about. The MonsterArts Godzilla is actually in stock now. They also have a 1/4 scale exclusive Gort Predator from NECA.
- Speaking of BBTS, a preorder popped up on their site for a DCUC “Reign of Superman” set featuring Superboy, Steel, Eradicator, Doomsday and Cyborg Superman. Here’s hoping the Doomsday is a new sculpt. And why no long-haired or Recovery Suit Supes?
