ToyBoss: Additions to the galleries, mainly of the 52Toys Captain Commando figures outside of their packaging, including a group shot of the team and another with Cap next to Hasbro’s MvC:I Ryu and Bandai’s 66mm Mega Man so you can see how they scale next to each other.
I planned to have more toy photos added in the site anniversary update a few weeks ago, but July has kept me really busy in some unfun ways. But I’ve gotten even more things since then. The first Target run I’ve made in a long time led to finding a Jakks SMB Toad (completing the SMB 2 line-up!) and a regular Bebop and Rocksteady set by NECA. I think I’ve bought more NECA this year than every other year put together, they’re getting better about keeping their stuff available. Marvel Legends Ghost Rider (paid for with a lot of gift cards) and classic Warbird/Carol Danvers help fill out two of the 3D Marvel vs. Capcom game rosters. This is the first time I’ve ever had toys of Ghost Rider AND his bike. I have unboxed pics of Ghost Rider and Shredder’s two favorite henchmen on the ToyBoss page.
While we’re talking about toys, one of the big San Diego Comic-Con toy announcements was for a Marvel Legends two-pack of Sentinels based on the Konami game, including the rock that a few of them use to throw at the player. The Hasbro Pulse store exclusive sold out the day that it went up, but keep an eye out for it to be back in stock, possibly during the Pulsecon event in October. Hopefully they make more of these than they did those Hellfire Club troops.
August is almost here and that means the site will be in the revenge business on the 9th. Eight month, Ninth day? Yes, it’s time for that theme again, and it’s going to be more than one update.
