WTW? Borgias Replica Weapons Pre-Order on BBTS
Murder! Intrigue! Sex! Popes! Replica Weapons?
What The What?
Big Bad Toy Store is now taking Pre-Orders on a series of replica weapons based upon the props from the forthcoming Showtime Original Series, The Borgias. As well as Cesare's dagger (pictured) there are also 47'' replica swords starting at $129.99, the ideal gift for anybody wishing to reenact the dynasty's downfall...
REVIEW: GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Air Assault Glider with Capt. Ace
Air Assault Glider with Captain Ace | Produced by Hasbro | Released 2010 [Cancelled]
Flying over the frozen Tundra in an Air Assault Glider Capt. Ace descends toward a manufacturing plant to observe the unknown facility more closely. The building's doors burst open and Cobra troops pour out of the plant. When they start firing at him he takes aim with the glider's multi-barrel cannon and A2G missiles!
Capt. Ace is a pilot on the GI Joe team and a former Air Force fighter pilot. At home in the cockpit of almost any type of aircraft he has flown numerous missions all over the world. He performs test flights of the team's advanced and prototype aircraft.
Another set from the cancelled Wave 3 Deluxe Figure range (see here for details) it's the turn of Captain Ace and his Air Assault Glider to come under the That Figures microscope...
REVIEW: GI Joe: Pursuit of Cobra - Desert Battle Dusty
Desert Battle Dusty | Produced by Hasbro | Released October 2010
Dusty is a desert combat specialist on the GI Joe team. He knows how to fight effectively in deserts, where there is no water, extreme daytime heat, freezing desert nights and harsh sandstorms. He has adapted his machine gun for desert use and can expertly capture the enemy with a well-placed barbed wire trap.
VIDEO VIEW: Kinder Surprise Commercial
You may not think there's a link between chocolate and That Figures (aside from the fact that we like eating it) but read on and all will be explained.
The Kinder Surprise AKA the Kinder Egg is a superb invention, a combination of very nice chocolate and blind-bagged/gashapon-esque surprise toys. OK, so the toys are generally a bit rubbish and not as complicated as the more expensive gashapon prizes but you don't get chocolate in gashapon machines, so it all balances out. Plus no gashapon machine has ever had a commercial so disturbing. It's like an Aphex Twin video, only weirder.
REVIEW: GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Ram Cycle with Sandstorm
Ram Cycle with Sandstorm | Produced by Hasbro | Released 2010 [Cancelled]
Riding the Ram Cycle, Sandstorm patrols the perimeter of the GI Joe team's base of operations. He's searching for Cobra troopers who may infiltrate the base to sabotage the team's vehicles and weapons. When he spots intruders, he unleashes the cycle's Gatling gun and sends them packing.
Sandstorm is a Military Police Officer assigned to the GI Joe team. A law enforcement specialist, he guards vehicle routes, conducts perimeter patrols, and does whatever is necessary to eliminate all threats to the people and bases he's assigned to defend.
REVIEW: Gormiti Polypus, The Lord of the Sea
Polypus, The Lord of the Seas | Produced by GP Toys | Released January 2009
He is very sensitive and touchy.
His head's tentacles can reach everywhere but most of all, they can crush everything! If you see him, start running... and run fast!
Iá! Iá! Polypus!

Vintage 70s funk-jazz + modern CGI imagery with ad montage = win.

REVIEW: GI Joe: Pursuit of Cobra - A.W.E. Striker with Night Fox
A.W.E. Striker with Night Fox | Produced by Hasbro | Released 2010
The A.W.E. Striker (All Weather and Environment) vehicle blasts across the desert sand. With its rugged suspension and highly responsive steering. This 4X4 glides over the toughest dunes and roughest rock trails in its path. Cobra forces are in trouble when the A.W.E. Striker aims its advanced cannon system and opens fire.
Night Fox is the GI Joe team's special combat and operations expert. This former Navy Seal takes control of challenging situations with tactical force and strategic impact. Calling on a broad range of skills including marksman, explosives expert and combat diver. In the desert battle he blasts through a Cobra blockade to weaken the enemy's defenses and open a path for his team.
Hey Ho! Let's Joe! (That's better...!)

VIDEO VIEW: ROM the Spaceknight Toy Fair Promo
A recent visitor comment set me off thinking again about this awesome toy.
For those who never experienced it, ROM the Spaceknight was a 12''-tall electronic action figure, which although quite limited in terms of articulation, had a number of cool electronic tricks up its sleeve. He was also the subject of his own Marvel Comicbook, which ironically outlasted the toy (which didn't exactly set the world on fire, sales-wise.)
On a separate note, there will not be any That Figures updates today. I'm off on a toy-hunting expedition and may not be back for some time...

NEWS: New Kabuto Mushi Colourway Images
Marty - AKA The GodBeast - has posted some test shots of some new thermal colourways he's been playing around with. The plastic responds to temperature and - as you can see in these dramatic photos - is very cool.
No news yet on when we'll see these thermally-reactive Kabuto Mushi figures or what exactly Marty has planned but there's a limited run of Clawshines available now in these colourways.
REVIEW: GI Joe: Pursuit of Cobra - City Strike Firefly
City Strike Firefly | Produced by Hasbro | Released August 2010
Firefly works for Cobra as a saboteur with expertise in explosives, espionage and silent infiltration. During the urban battle he uses multi-resonance structural demolition (MRSD) pods to collapse a building, trapping the GI Joe team members inside. His titanium body armor and arm shields protect him from the blast.
After our months of Making Mine Marvel, we continue our new trend of Going for Joe(ing.)
I need to work on that one...
REVIEW: GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Cobra Flight Pod with Elite-Viper
Cobra Flight Pod with Elite-Viper | Produced by Hasbro | Released 2010 [Cancelled]
An Elite-Viper in a Cobra Flight Pod flies above the city, guarding the secret facility that's developing attack drones. He spots a group of figures scaling the building and alerts Cobra troopers on the ground. Swooping down, he recognizes the intruders as GI Joe Ninjas and fires up his cannon to blast them!
Elite-Vipers are the personal guards of DESTRO and strict enforcers of their commander's orders. These top-notch mercenaries have extensive military training ans are skilled in the use of advanced weaponry developed by M.A.R.S. Industries.
A rather odd-looking toy with an odder history, the Cobra Flight Pod with Elite-Viper is today's GI Joe Review offering...
Thursday, February 24, 2011
REVIEW: GI Joe: Pursuit of Cobra - City Strike Beachhead
City Strike Beachhead | Produced by Hasbro | Released July/August 2010
Wayne ''Beachhead'' Sneeden is an urban combat specialist on the GI Joe team. This former Army Ranger carries specialized gear and weapons including a gas mask for breathing in any environment and a U.P.R. Urban Plasma Rail weapon. His gear and training come in handy when he battles Alley-Vipers in the Cobra warehouse.
Our GI Joe theme continues with this Review of City Strike Beachhead.
VIDEO VIEW: Alien Action Figure (1979)
Ah, toy manufacturers. Is there nothing they won't license? Given that Alien was an incredibly tense and at times very gory movie, it's quite surprising to see this toy even existed, let alone was advertised on TV. Keep in mind this was in the pre-Terminator 2 friendlification of the Big Bad Monster...
I actually owned this toy as a child (and passed it onto a friend, sans head-cover, just a few years ago.) My guess is the toy wasn't very popular, as I bought mine for 1.99 GBP - which was about the same price as a Star Wars figure at the time. Last time I checked, they were selling - granted in Mint Condition - for 100 times that...
It wasn't the greatest of action figures - the articulation was too limited - but it provided hours of fun spent chasing my Space Ranger Action Man...
NEWS: Marvel Universe Series 3 Wave 3 Pre-Order at BBTS
Fans of the Marvel Universe line will be pleased to hear that Wave 3 of Series 3 is now available to pre-order over at Big Bad Toy Store.
The wave - set to hit in May - features some great-looking new figures, including Doctor Strange, Falcon, Skaar and the Scarlet Spider. There's also a re-issue of Doctor Doom, which appears to be a repaint of the figure from the Secret Wars anniversary double-packs. Figures can be pre-ordered individually or in multiple packs.
More as we get it.
REVIEW: GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Sand Serpent with Star-Viper
Sand Serpent with Star-Viper | Produced by Hasbro | Released January 2010
The Sand Serpent is an experimental aircraft designed by M.A.R.S. Industries employing stealth technology to maintain Radar invisibility. This striker jet bombards aerial and ground forces with prototype anti-armor maximum-range 4X missiles. It can cruise at a hypersonic speed of MACH 6 using the highly advanced HSE-3 Supercruise engine. The Sand Serpent jet provides Cobra with air support during the desert battle against the GI Joe team.
Star-Viper pilots command the skies in advanced fighter jets designed by M.A.R.S. Industries. These test pilots are precision-oriented experts in aeronautical engineering; they are also calculating, coldblooded warriors of the air.
An unusual release from Hasbro, the Sand Serpent is certainly an impressive toy. And not just for what it does...

REVIEW: Transformers Deluxe Terradive
Transformers Deluxe Terrdive | Produced by Hasbro | Released 2010
Terradive loves to dive toward unsuspecting prey with the sun behind him. The light blinds his target, and the scream of his engines terrifies them, leaving them easy pickings for the blades of his trident. With Jetblade serving as a decoy, Tomahawk will never know what hit him.
Welcome to the first - and last - That Figures Transformers Review.
NEWS: Nicholas Courtney 1929 - 2011
Actor Nicholas Courtney died yesterday at the age of 81.
Courtney is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Brigadier Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart in the BBC sci-fi series, Doctor Who, a role he played over the course of 43 years alongside five of the Doctor's incarnations and, most recently, in the Sarah Jane Adventures.
The actor had been battling cancer for some time before finally passing away yesterday, with his wife Karen by his side.
The Brigadier: "Probably. I just do the best I can."
REVIEW: Spider-Man Power Charge Rhino
Power Charge Rhino | Produced by Hasbro | Released 2010
Aleksei Sytsevich was just another thug in the Russian Mafia, grasping at dreams of easy money, and headed for a short brutal life. Seduced by promises of wealth and power, Aleksei underwent a life-threatening series of chemical and radiation treatments to transform him after several months into the superhumanly strong agent for a collective of professional spies - in part, to support his family. Aleksei's powerful armor permanently bonded to his form, was modeled after the hide of a rhinoceros. Two scientists named Igor and Georgi chose this form, both for its visual impact and in recognition of the fact that the rhino is the result of countless generations of evolution towards the ultimate form for armored assault.
Thus was born... The Rhino!
REVIEW: GI Joe: Pursuit of Cobra - Jungle Assault Snake Eyes
Jungle Assault Snake Eyes | Produced by Hasbro | Released October 2010
Snake Eyes is a Ninja Commando on the GI Joe team and a Martial Arts Master trained in the mysterious Arashikage Ninja clan. As he battles Cobra Ninja Storm Shadow, he expertly swings his Nunchaku and Crescent Blade, then slams his enemy to the jungle floor with a Tornado Kick.

REVIEW: GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Sky Sweeper Jet with Air Raid
Sky Sweeper Jet with Air Raid | Produced by Hasbro | Released August 2009
Sky Sweeper Jets provide air support to the GI Joe team's aerial combat fleet. Advanced avionics and an innovative design enable these stealth jets to fly at super-low altitude to avoid radar detection and reach speeds approaching MACH 3. Compact, swift and highly maneuverable, Sky Sweeper Jets aggressively confront threats from enemy aircraft and deliver air-to-ground attack and support.
Air Raid is an air assault trooper on the GI Joe team and an airborne-qualified combat officer. He has flown in numerous missions that demand the ultimate degrees of skill, quick-thinking and expertise with advanced flight technology.
From the same Rise of Cobra wave as yesterday's Mantis Attack Craft comes the Sky Sweeper Jet, with trusty pilot, Air Raid.
VIDEO VIEW: Evel Knievel Commercial
It's Evel Knievel! He's a K-nock-out!
Ideal produced a number of Evel Knievel toys throughout the 70s, with not just new vehicles and play-sets appearing but also new characters, including Evel's teenage son, Robbie - who even got his own natty blue costume. I also have memories of Evel getting his own diamond-topped cane at some point...
Things to look-out for in this commercial include the superb ''child-made'' banner at the start (no doubt produced by a 30-something prop master who almost caved-in and wrote it with a few backward letters) and the ''body language'' of the doll at around the 26-second mark during the Chopper ride. Maybe it's just coincidence or I'm reading too much into it, but he appears absolutely terrified.
And rightly so, as the commercial ends as you'd expect any good Evel Knievel stunt to - spectacularly.
REVIEW: Marvel Universe's Warpath (X-Men Costume Variant)
Warpath (X-Men Costume Variant) | Produced by Hasbro | Released January 2011
As a boy, James Proudstar idolized his older brother the X-MAN known as THUNDERBIRD. When his brother was killed, Proudstar swore to follow in his footsteps, and took on the mantle of the hero. His relationship with the X-MEN has been uneasy at times, but over the years he has come to terms with his brother's death, and become an invaluable member of the team.
Following-on from the previously-Reviewed Ms Marvel variant, today it's the turn of Warpath in his X-Men costume.
Monday, February 21, 2011
REVIEW: GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Mantis Attack Craft with Aqua-Viper Officer
Mantis Attack Craft with Aqua-Viper Officer
Produced by Hasbro | Released August 2009
Mantis Attack Craft submarines prowl the waters around the Arctic-based M.A.R.S. Industries research facility and conduct criminal operations for Cobra. They are deployed to battle the G.I. Joe team, which attacks the base to retrieve nanomite weapons prototypes. These one-man subs are equipped with high-explosive torpedoes and can read depths of 2,700 feet.
Aqua-Viper Officers lead platoons of aqua-Viper troops on ocean-based attacks and raids. Their physical abilities have been enhanced with nanomite technology, enabling them to withstand extreme ocean depths.
The Rise of Cobra continues in this vehicle and figure movie-tie in.
REVIEW: GI Joe: Pursuit of Cobra - Desert Battle Snake Eyes
Desert Battle Snake Eyes | Produced by Hasbro | Released: January 2011
Snake Eyes is the G.I. Joe team's Ninja Commando and Martial Arts master. As the team fights Cobra forces in the desert, Snake Eyes slips behind enemy lines to blow-up Cobra fortifications. He is armed with a pistol, submachine gun and swords to battle anyone who tries to stop him from reaching his target.

REVIEW: Marvel Universe's Ms Marvel (Dark Avengers Variant Costume)
Ms Marvel [Dark Avengers Variant Costume]
Produced by Hasbro | Released January 2011
Her human DNA fused with that of the mighty Kree warrior, Mar-Vell, Carol Danvers became the superhuman powerhouse known as MS MARVEL. Currently she adventures as a member of the AVENGERS, as well as serving as the commander of the special S.H.I.E.L.D. strike team known as Operation: Lightning Storm.
But wait! This isn't Carol Danvers at all! It's super-criminal Karla Sofen masquerading as her in the Dark Avengers!
Confused? Then read on!
REVIEW: GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Dragonhawk XH1 with Wild Bill
Dragonhawk XH1 with Wild Bill | Produced by Hasbro | Released July/August 2009
The Dragonhawk XH1 helicopter conducts attack and support missions. It has AG-202 missle launchers that quickly deploy from recessed compartments. The helicopter is swift, maneuverable and capable of extremely low hoverability, and in the hands of an expert pilot, will aggressively perform under any light and weather conditions.
Wild Bill is a combat pilot on the GI Joe team. If it has wings he can fly it, whether it's the latest military attack helicopter or fighter jet. After a convoy is attacked while transporting classified weapon prototypes, Wild Bill is deployed as part of the team to rescue the survivors.
From the GI Joe Rise of Cobra tie-in line comes the Dragonhawk XH1 (with Wild Bill) vehicle set, the subject of today's Review!
NEWS: Marvel Universe ''Variant'' Re-Issues
It would appear that Hasbro has released a ''variant wave'' of figures as part of their popular Marvel Universe line.
A number of figures - including Ms Marvel, Warpath, Daredevil and Bullseye - have recently appeared on shelves and through online retailers, sporting new paint-jobs and alternative costume designs. Some of the changes are relatively minor - such as the darker-costumed Daredevil - but others feature some extensive changes, such as Warpath, now available in a red and black costume.
Most interestingly, the Ms Marvel - Review here - variant uses the original body but with a new head sculpt. Although at first glance it appears to be the modern Ms Marvel head, closer inspection reveals some changes, including the mask's new design. Presumably this is intended to represent the Dark Avengers Ms Marvel.
It's also worth noting that the variant reissues - which were selected from different Waves - still retain their original numbering and back-of-pack text.
Ms Marvel is Reviewed here. Warpath will be Reviewed soon.

REVIEW: GI Joe: Pursuit of Cobra - Desert Battle Zartan
Desert Battle Zartan | Produced by Hasbro | Released Sept/Oct 2010
Zartan is a master of disguise who works for Cobra as a mercenary and covert agent. This expert mimic can impersonate anyone. During the desert battle he disguises himself as a desert native to slip behind enemy lines, then impersonates a GI Joe trooper to steal valuable battle information.
A new chapter opens for That Figures as we present our first GI Joe Review!
NEWS: Upcoming GI Joe and Marvel Universe Reviews
Just a quick update on today's shopping haul. As well as finding a number of GI Joe toys at marked-down prices (Walmart and Toys R Us are clearing-out their Rise of the Cobra vehicles for around half-price) today also heralded my first sighting of a new ''secret'' wave of Marvel variants Hasbro has snuck onto the shelves. I noticed earlier some online retailers had restocked with some ''rarer'' figures but it appears Hasbro has indeed re-issued some older figures, all be it with a twist, including a Daredevil in dark-red costume variant and my two purchases: the Ms Marvel variant (note that this appears to be the Dark Avengers Ms Marvel) and Warpath (again in a variant costume.)
Reviews to follow.

VIDEO VIEW: Stretch Monster
Ah, gimmick-based toys...
Perhaps the best thing about these... dolls?... was that they made superb weapons. Yes, when the novelty of going ''raar!'' and stretching the... figure?... wore-off, we started using them as bludgeons to club each other during ''fun'' fights. A sock filled with wet sand? Pah. That was nothing compared to the nose-shattering, head-cracking, eyeball-loosening trauma you could inflict with ''playful'' shot from a Stretch toy...
Although my cousin had Stretch Monster, I myself owned an Elastic Heroes Hulk (a Mego toy), which, in the UK was released as part of the same ''Stretch'' line as Stretch Armstrong and Stretch Monster (both Kenner toys.) Presmably UK distributor Denys Fisher simply licensed toys from both companies and combined them into the same line for stronger brand recognition.
Finally, a note to the wise, learned from personal experience - don't store your Stretch toys in the same box as your (sharp) Lego pieces, unless you want the bricks to be permanently bonded together...
NEWS: New Glyos Drop Tonight
Just a quick reminder that - as previously reported - tonight sees the release of ''Henshin Wave 2.0'' from Onell Design.

VIDEO VIEW: Micronauts Commercial 1977
An early commercial from Mego introducing their new Micronauts line. The great thing about this ad is the way it's pitched to kids (Look! Shiny!

These days the commercial would probably be just lots of CGI and shouting...
