At the Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA booth at New York Comic-Con, they had the Mighty Morphin’ Red Ranger on display. Naturally this must mean the other team members are coming to. This is huge news for Power Rangers fans, since the classic original versions of the characters have been demanded for a very long time.

It was announced yesterday that DC Collectibles would be showcasing a lot of new product this weekend at New York Comic-Con. Amongst everything was Arkham City series 4, revealing Nightwing, Talia Al Ghul, and a brand new Batman figure (that’s right, not the same one they’ve been using since wave 1 of Arkham Asylum) with a very wide range of articulation, something DC Collectibles is not known for.

NECA Toys has recently been putting out a line of figures to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the cult hit movie Evil Dead 2. So far we’ve seen a few variants of the movie’s protagonist, Ash Williams, in various states he found himself in in the movie. With the second series out, NECA has now given us the best and most iconic version of Ash: with his chainsaw hand, or “Hero Ash” as he’s called on the packaging. This is how everyone remembers the character, even though he technically only appeared like this through the climax of Evil Dead 2, and the beginning of Army of Darkness.
McFarlane Toys attempted their own version of Ash from Army of Darkness back in the early 2000’s, but it was rather abysmal. There was really nothing redeeming about that figure at all, so for many fans this is the figure they’ve been waiting for for a very long time. Does it meet expectations and give fans the Ash figure they’ve always wanted? Does it beat McFarlane Toys’ attempt at the character (spoiler alert: yes it does)? Keep reading to find out.
We are happy to announce that the BBTS Shared Exclusive – Transformers Prime – First Edition figures are now available for preorder.
Just when you think LEGO is slowing down with Batman sets, they hit us with something like this. The website Brickset posted information regarding this new set, titled “Arkham Asylum Breakout”. It was unveiled in Seattle during Brick Con and will come with 1,619 pieces! Several years ago, LEGO released another Arkham Asylum set that only had 860 pieces, so this is incredible. Continue after the jump to read the full set of information, and to get a look at some hi-def photos!
It appears as if the popular toy store website, Figure of the Day, is closing down. No reason is given as to why the store is closing, but they are currently selling off their domain name at $2,500.00 (or Best Offer) in place of any action figure today.
The store started out very strong and has steadily grown in popularity all throughout this year. This is in small part due to the fact that they most often have figures at cheaper prices than other stores, and offer free shipping. This may be the double-edged sword that spelled the store’s doom. Offering up product for cheap prices is great for consumers, but not so much for businesses. It’s likely that we’ll get an official statement explaining why the store is closing in the coming days, and if so then I will keep you all updated.
For now, continue after the jump to read what little information has been provided on the site’s closing.

This was supposed to go up yesterday, but I was visiting a relative in the hospital most of yesterday and didn’t get the chance, so here you go. So let’s just jump right in, shall we?
Joker asks: Since the new DC Unlimited and Batman Unlimited figures will no longer feature a “collect and connect” figure, will the retail price end up being cheaper than DC Universe Classics, or will extra accessories be included with the new lines to justify the same price?
Neither actually. Raw material and labor costs continue to rise so removing the C&C element is our way of keeping costs around the same level.
Nathan asks: Next year during Club Infinite Earths, we’re only getting one oversized figure with Mallah. There doesn’t seem to be any more scheduled, and there are no more collect and connect figures either. So how/when will we be seeing more of the larger DC characters in figure form?
