3B's Toy Hive

Holy cow! It was a great toy haul earlier today, er... I mean yesterday (it's already past midnight?!). Lots of new addtions to on-going lines, a line I just recently delve into and a line I hadn't touched.

Here's a break down by store:

Toys R Us
WWE Legends
Dusty Rhodes
Ricky Steamboat

K-Mart (seriously!)
Iron Man 2 Comic Series
Crimson Dynamo
Titanium Man
Hulkbuster Iron Man

Walmart
WWE Elite Big Show
UFC Brock Lesnar

I just finished the write up for that last figure and can't wait to post it as soon as I get the photos done. It's been a busy day for me and with San Diego Comic Con just over a week away, it seems it's going to be busy the rest of the month. No, I'm not attending (sadly), but in celebration of the biggest geek event of the year, I'll be reviewing two SDCC exclusives from my collection starting on Monday.

Stay tuned!

As part of Blog Mash Bash, this review is hosted by Novelty Nostalgia over at his excellent blog, Toy A Day! Buzz on over to check out the review and Novelty's own daily toy reviews. And stay tuned for a Killer B Hive review by Novelty!

Also, look out for a bonus comic starring Kabuki here at the Hive next Monday!

Kabuki Review

Today, instead of just another edition of Killer B Comics, we also have a review! It may be somewhat late in the game for an Iron Man 2 review, but I think this is a benchmark figure for me. I have successfully avoided Hasbro's 3.75" scale lines since they debuted... until now. Why? SWARM to find out!

These just came in yesterday from Amazon and I hope to have them reviewed/displayed on the Hive soon:

Optimus Prime is one of my all time favorite characters and although I don't collect Transformers, I usually buy the Optimus Prime figure from any series. The last one I purchased was the Leader class Optimus from the first live-action movie, so I'm excited about this one!

Today's Stinger Shots features Webstor, a Masters of the Universe character I'm not very familiar with, but is a cool addition to the "Classics" collection. He is a "Master of Escape" and so his ready for adventure anytime. His pictorial turned out to be an adventure on it's own, so this post is a Stinger Shots/Killer B Comics hybrid. Enjoy!

If you were a fan of pro-wrestling in the late '90s, it was probably because of this man. The "Texas Rattlesnake" ushered in the "Attitude" era and made WWE not just the top pro-wrestling promotion in the world, but a juggernaut in the world of entertainment. That was roughly 10 years ago and while lots of things have changed in the WWE, Stone Cold is still a beloved personality. So does this figure live up to Austin's legacy?...

Happy Independence Day America! Hope everyone one is enjoying the holiday and celebrating the freedom we enjoy in our great country. Plus, fireworks are really cool! Just don't try blowing up any fruit. Fingers come off surprisingly easy!
