Metroid Figures Coming to Japan, Life Is Worth Living
|
|
  Oh baby. New Metroid toys and articulated figures are quite uncommon, so today's two new announcements are spectacular. Max Factory is releasing two figures, including Figma Samus Aran and a Zero Suit Statue with an actual Metroid. Surprisingly, the articulated figure is cheaper despite being the same size as the skin-tight costume statue. They're due this Summer.
Also, our pal Suribot points to this picture showing the interactivity between the two figures.

New Games for the Xbox 360 Live Arcade Released
|
|
  Xbox fans, it's time to download Quarrel, a $5/400 point word game. Microsoft says:
"QUARREL is the most novel word game ever made. But donšt just take our word for it grab it now and enter a universe where WORDS (11 points) literally speak louder than ACTIONS (8 points). Use a cool combination of word power and strategic cunning to crush your opponents and reign supreme. Come settle your differences with wordplay rather than swordplay; make verbal not chemical weapons; load up with letters not bullets and use chatter to batter your enemies into submission and rule the world. Compete to use your troops to make the highest-scoring word from the letters given then capture territories and conquer islands in this wholly original virtual board game.
"
Also new is Puddle, a $10/800 point puzzle game where you guide various fluids through various environments. It sounds like a lot of fun, actually.

They're small, and on the way out from the look of things. The Hasbro Marvel Universe Handful of Heroes Mini Figure Pack came out a while back, and while neat they're a little expensive for what they are. They're also surprisingly high-quality for unpainted miniature figures. So read on, read our Star Wars one too, and come back soon for more!

 The final (and best) Cosmic Creators figure has been revealed! Meet Blazing Inferno, a really cool redeco. It's clear red, but painted, so it can sort of light up-- the design has some unique deco choices which really do a bang-up job of making it a bright figure in more ways than one.

New Botcon 2012 Toy Revealed
|

 The reveal continues! (Well, at higher resolution anyway.) Botcon posted Botcon Exclusive Metalhawk's alt and robot modes! Reaction is all over the place, and it's based on the somewhat swell Generations Thunderwing/Sky Shadow mold.
Also notable: Bot Shots! Robot Kingdom posted new tiny Autobots and Decepticons which span several generations worth of influences. They look sort of like Battle Beasts, so basically what I'm saying is Hasbro: my business is yours to lose.

DC Has Stupid New Logo That Is Stupid
|
|
 The new DC Entertainment Logo is kind of dopey! But you probably saw it and already have an opinion of what you think it looks like. Favorites sent to me on Twitter so far include "like a penis" and "hard to read." I thought it looked like some futuristic colored pencil manufacturer's logo.
