NEWS: Marvel Masterworks Sentinel (And Wolverine) Pre-Order at BBTS

Remember the awesome Marvel Masterworks Galactus Hasbro released last year? Well now Big Bad Toy Store has started taking Pre-Orders on the companion piece and second Masterworks entry, the Sentinel.

Standing at 16'' tall and featuring light-up and sound electronic play features, the Sentinel comes with X-Men member Wolverine - and as you can see from the above photo, he towers over the feral mutant.

Retailing at $54.99, the Sentinel's release date has yet to be confirmed beyond ''Third Quarter 2011'' but we'll keep you posted.

TOY HAUL: 30th April

Apologies for the lack of original updates over the last few days. My camera died on me earlier in the week and today saw an epic Toy Hunt around a number of Ross Dress for Less, Marshall's, Toys R Us, Walmart and Target stores. 

Sadly the pickings were slim (and I was annoyed to see the GI Joe Attack on the GI Joe Pit play-set in a Ross store ripped-open and the figures removed...) but I was able to score the latest wave of Greatest Battles Comic Packs, namely Deadpool vs Taskmaster and Wolverine (Patch) vs Silver Samurai (as pictured above.)

Reviews will be on their way soon...

REVIEW: Marvel Universe's Dark Hawkeye

For BULLSEYE, working as Norman Osborn's HAWKEYE is like having a free pass to do everything he ever wanted.  He gets to operate in the open, be as bad as he wants, and people cheer for him.  He gets to indulge his urge to hunt heroes like DAREDEVIL and SPIDER-MAN, and the nightly news loves him for it.  He never thought being a hero could be such a thrill, but he could get used to it.

Continuing our trend of MAKING MINE MARVEL, today it's the turn of Wave 11's Dark Hawkeye.

REVIEW: Marvel's Greatest Battles Comic Pack: Dark Wolverine and Dark Spider-man

Hasbro continues their double-pack roll-out with the Marvel's Greatest Battles Comic Pack: Dark Wolverine and Dark Spider-man.

For those who aren't up-to-speed on the Marvel Universe's recent history, essentially everything's gone bad for the heroes.  Norman Osborn (the former Green Goblin) has risen to power under the guise of the Iron Patriot and is now commanding supergroup the Avengers.  However, all is not what it seems: Osborn's reform is a sham and the Avengers he's assembled are in-fact all self-serving supervillains.

Now the history lesson is over, what about the figures themselves?
