Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 Revealed - New, Classic from Playmates
|
|
  The site Ninja Pizza has tons of 2012 TMNT Product Up including classic figures! The new "classic" figures are a mix between the 1980s releases and the original 1980s cartoons-- I like what I see. (Who knows Playmates' PR number?) The entire collection looks amazing, there's also a giant sewer playset coming which is not pictured here. But put some socks on, so it can knock them off.

USA Today Previews Amazing New G.I. Joe Retaliation Figures
|
|
  Oh man. Apparently to make better movie action figures, you need to make your movie look like it's populated by toys. USA Today revealed Nine Hasbro Figures from G.I. Joe Retaliation yesterday including Roadblock, Cobra Commander, and others. Surprisingly, the entire line looks like a lot of fun and seems to have more to do with recent action figure releases than the previous movie-- there is still a lot of black, but there's other color too.
Expect more from Toy Fair next week!

New Games for the Xbox 360 Live Arcade Released
|
|
  Xbox fans, it's time to download Double Fine Happy Action Theater, a $10/800 point game whose name seems like a gag. Microsoft says:
"Are you annoyed at how little magic you are able to shoot from your fingers? Have you ever tried to get grandma to do the worm, but all she would do is just stand there? Have you ever noticed how your living room doesnıt have any hot lava in it? And who designed this living room anyway?! It doesnıt even have any buildings to smash! Well, Double Fine Happy Action Theater can solve all of these problems and more! You will also be able to clone yourself or hang out in a plate of jelly if you want. And when youıre done with that, maybe you will want to feed some pigeons or have a snowball fight. There are 18 amazing ways that Double Fine Action Theater will enhance your life! And up to 5 of your friendsı lives too! (ages 2 to 102)"
Also new (and also for the Kinect) is Rhythm Party, a $10/800 point dance thing.

Weapons packs are a rarity these days, particularly good ones, and especially customizable ones. The Spy Monkey Creations Doppelganger Armory Series 1 Accessory Pack go up for order on Friday and are spectacular. You can reconfigure them as they're designed with Glyos pegs. They're scaled for your larger figures. And if you want, some of the pieces work great with your Glyos or Outer Space Men figures. So read on, read our Star Wars one too, and come back soon for more!

Transformers Microns: New Molds for Japan from Kabaya
|
|
  New from Japan! The Allspark has shots of New Molds Microns (Mini-Cons) coming to Japan for Transformers Prime, which is exciting because new molds are far and few between for this line. (I think last year we got about 3.) They seem to transform into weapons, with robots resembling Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and two others which turn into a gecko and a snake. I'm sold.

New figures include Gandalf, four Hobbitses, Aragorn, Boromir, and Legolas. And of course Gimli, who is disturbingly missing his axe in the picture. (I need his axe.)

Tiny Prime! The Hasbro Transformers Reveal the Shield Optimus Prime Legends Action Figure came out last year and got rotten distribution-- but it's a lot of fun, and I'd give it high marks for anyone who wants a Prime toy but doesn't want a big one. This is the perfect desk toy. So read on, read our Star Wars one too, and come back soon for more!
