Hot Toys revealed last night on their website and Facebook page the entire photo spread.

Rumors have been circulating the Internet for a little bit that Hot Toys had secured the license to make 1/6th scale collectible figures based on the upcoming G.I. Joe Retaliation movie. Thanks to Toy News International, it seems that the rumors are true. Additional information about this line will be coming soon, but it seems that indeed we will be seeing G.I. Joe Retaliation Hot Toys figures. The most likely candidate for the first figure to be released is Roadblock played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Hopefully we will see several of the characters, including Snake-Eyes, Firefly, and Cobra Commander. These will no doubt be filled with tons of accessories and realistic detail.

Power Lords from Four Horsemen Toy DesignFor a few months now, there has been a teaser clock about the possibility of the Power Lords returning. Well now the “Doomsday Clock” has finally reached zero and has revealed that indeed the Power Lords will be making a return to collector’s shelves in 2013 courtesy of the Four Horsemen! For those who don’t know, the Power Lords was a toy property from the early 80’s. It hasn’t seen any new merchandising since then, but given that the Four Horsemen seem to love bringing back really old, really obscure toy lines, this should come as a shock to very few.

LEGO Back to the Future SetThat’s right, there is a Back to the Future LEGO set coming. It started on the LEGO Cuusoo website. It’s basically a site where you can create your own custom LEGO project, and if you get enough supporters, it can be made into a set and you can receive royalties. The LEGO Back to the Future set is now becoming a reality after reaching the mandatory 10,000 supporters, getting the green light from LEGO, and securing the licensing rights. The set is scheduled to be released in mid 2013 and will come with enough bricks to build the DeLorean time machine into the version from any of the three movies. What’s really cool is the folks who designed this set are donating the royalties they receive directly to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. See, now if you don’t buy this set, you’re hurting people. Way to go, jerk.

Check out all the photos of this set after the jump.

News – Thundercats Officially Cancelled

Thundercats RIPThis is sad news indeed. The show was really good, and I was having fun collecting the toys. But it seems that both the toy lines and the cartoon have officially been cancelled. It’s not incredibly surprising, because Bandai hasn’t shown off anything new in a long time. They had nothing at Toy Fair last February, and nothing at SDCC either. There’s no telling what this means for future Thundercats figures. Will Bandai keep the license, or will it go to someone else? Nobody is sure right now. A lot of fans are hopeful that Bandai Japan will make S.H. Figuarts of the Thundercats, but that may be a pipe dream at best.

For the full story of the Thundercats cancellation, head on over to Toy News International. They have the full scoop.

S.H. Figuarts Vegeta will retail for ¥3,990 yen (roughly $50 USD) and is scheduled for an April 2013 release. You can pre order Vegeta right now through BigBadToyStore. Hurry before it’s sold out!

We already got some word that Gramanyr was delayed, but Procrustus being delayed was quite surprising.
