We are back (finally) from Toy Fair with some verbal tours of the visual fun, plus DC’s newest direct to DVD feature (JUSTICE LEAGUE:CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS) hits this week and actor James Woods tells us about life as OWLMAN and William Shatner turns to s*it – really. PRESS THE BUTTON to Get The Point!…
So I got an email from Peter David: Glenn? Voting ends Monday on the “Pick three figures to be in next year’s Hasbro Marvel Legends line” that includes trench coat Madrox as a choice. Can you put this up immediately on ComicMix and urge people to vote for Madrox? Why, that would be shameless flackery….
Folks walking the tiny (ahem) floor at the San-Diego Comic Con this weekend got a sneak peak at the 197 10th and 11th wave of Mattel’s DC Universe Classics line! While wave 10 continues to add another New God to it’s ranks, Wave 11 starts a whole new year of figures you’ll be stomping over…
It’s our Official Toy Fair 2009 debriefing with some of the finest action figures we’ve seen yet including Strangers in Paradise, Dick Tracy and even The Wolfman.

September 23rd, hurry up and get here already. All we ever seem to do is build up anticipation for the LEGO Batman videogame (coming to every now-gen game system).

There’s a lot to like about the contradictions surrounding award-winning writer/artist Jeffrey Brown (I Am Going to be Small). His intensely personal work isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when considering properties destined to become action figures, but that didn’t stop Devil’s Due Publishing from licensing the characters from Brown’s Incredible Change-Bots series…
We may finally have the next Mary Jane’s exposed thong statue. Apparently some people are getting bent out of shape about the new Black Canary Barbie, which you can see at right. The Sun, a paper in the UK, ran a story under the header "S&M Barbie is lashed by the public." Makers Mattel say…
Gamers, get your insulin shots ready. THQ has signed a deal to make videogames based on the too-cute Marvel Super Hero Squad toy line.
