Ghostbusters, "Ready to Believe You" Ray Stantz - Review

Mattel's 6" Ghostbusters Movie Masters takes a controversial detour with August's release. Is "Ready to Believe You" Ray Stantz (in lab coat!) worth the hassle and price of Matty Collector? Or is he an easy pass for GB fans? Let's find out!

Stinger Shots: Trap Jaw & Kronis

Finally! I finally have Trap Jaw! If you flip the calendar back to February, you'd find one very pissed off 3B. Pissed off because he couldn't get a Trap Jaw off of Digital River's craptastic server. Thankfully, TJ was reissued just 6 months later and this time, I was able to secure him.

WWE Legends, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka (Hall of Fame) - Review

Mattel released their first wave of WWE Legends just a couple of months ago, and series 2 is starting to hit retail now. In addition, they've released an exclusive "Hall of Fame" edition to be sold at, of all places, K-mart! The HoF series features four figures from the first wave and two from the second. Although the set is scheduled to be released on August 28th, my local K-mart already had most of them on the shelf when I visited a few days ago. I was able to snag two of them including today's subject: Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka!

UFC Deluxe, Brock Lesnar - Review

[It's been several weeks since my last review and while I wrote this one over a month ago, I wasn't able to photograph the figure until just yesterday. So pardon the delay and please enjoy today's review.]

In honor of Brock Lesnar's triumphant return to the Octagon, I've finally purchased a UFC figure from Jakks Pacific's new line and who better to start with than the man himself: Brock Lesnar!

Buzzing with excitement about Toy A Day's new contest

Hey, this is Novelty, and I hope 3B doesn't mind me posting about this here, but I've just started a contest on my blog, Toy A Day and the prize is... well, you'll have to "Swarm" to see more!

The Buzz: Matty Sale

For many MotUC fans today is "Whiplash" day, but for me it's my second chance to score Trap Jaw, who I missed out on back in February. I'm happy to report that I successfully snagged him AND "Labcoat" Ray from the Ghostbusters line.

I'm really backed up with my reviews, but hope to cover at the very least the SDCC Undertaker and maybe Plastic Man before these new items come in.

Hope you were successful in your hunt today!

Transformers: Animated, Activators Bumblebee - Review

Hey y'all.  It's Novelty again from Toy A Day.  I'm still opening a toy for each day of the year and I'm at Animated August at the moment, which is an entire month dedicated to toys with an animated series or animated movie.  Today I'm opening Transformers Bumblebee and I thought to myself, "Hey, I promised my friend 3B that I'll try to do insect related posts on his blog, and what better insect related toy do I have than Bumblebee?"  OK, so Bumblebee isn't really an insect at all, but I'm not going to let such a small detail get in the way!
