NEWS: Daft Punk X Tron RAH Medicom Figures

You got that wazzed-up bassline stuck in your head. You wondered why nobody noticed that man had a dog's head. And how he broke his foot. You grooved to their dancing mummy/skeleton.. things... and were wowed by their Tron: Legacy soundtrack (and cameo.)

Now Medicom brings you this two-figure RAH set of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, AKA Daft Punk. And if you've a spare $319 then you too could own these super-detailed 12'' dolls for yourself, brought to us by Toy Tokyo.

NEWS: Tron: Legacy Sequel On the Cards?

HitFix is reporting that Disney has hired screenwriter Dan DiGilio to pen the third installment in the Tron Saga. And yes, if the teen angst of an annoyingly wishy-washy bint and a poufy-haired ''vampire'' can be called a ''Saga'' then so too can the Tron movies. 

I'm taking Saga back.

Despite Disney's initial misgivings about the 2010 sequel, Tron: Legacy actually performed very respectably at the box office, with its opening weekend out-grossing Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Fast Five. Globally it even out-grossed Paramount's mighty Star Trek reboot - which currently has a sequel in the works...

It's still early days but given that Disney has commissioned the animated TV show Tron: Uprising for the Disney DX channel then perhaps our digital hero will be returning to the big screen. Let's just hope the tie-in toys are better this time around.

BARGAIN BUY: Tron Legacy Toys

Bargain Buy is a special News feature where we provide information on recently-spotted discount toys. Our first entry is the Tron Legacy series of toys, produced by Spin Master.

The Tron Legacy toys were poorly received by collectors. Although the light-up feature was cool, most felt this was also one of the toy's weakest points, given that to accommodate the battery pack the figures were produced with no waist or torso articulation. 

Pricing was another issue. Even the basic 3 3/4'' figures were around $2 more than a standard figure of the same scale, no doubt another knock-on effect from the light-up feature.

Those who were interested in dabbling with the line will be pleased to hear that the Tron Legacy toys have now gone into clearance mode. Walmart has begun selling the 3 3/4'' figures for $5 (almost $3 less than Toys R Us' discounted price) and the Deluxe scale figures have been spotted in Ross Dress for Less for $8*.

NEWS: Tron Uprising First Look

For a guy in a day-glo tabard and armed with a frisbee, Tron was seriously cool. He was stoic, he fought for the Users and he was played by Bruce Boxleitner. And that made him awesome.

Now it looks like those who missed the original Tron movie and never got to see him in action will be given the chance next year, with the release of Disney's new animated series, Tron Uprising.

REVIEW: Tron Legacy Black Guard

The Black Guard are Clu's elite special forces. Their physicality and fighting skills are un-matched in the world. Behind their fearsome, faceless masks they carry out Clu's Iron will over the inhabitants of Tron City.

Let's hope the figure is better than the blurb...
