Lone Ranger, Pacific Rim, Aliens, and Predators in NECA’s eBay Store

7-inch The Lone Ranger & Tonto Action Figures - Complete Series 1 Set Pacific Rim - 7-inch Scale Jaeger Crimson Typhoon Action Figure - NECA Series 1 Aliens - 7-inch Scale Corporal Dwayne Hicks Action Figure - Series 1 Predators Series 9 - 7-inch Jungle Encounter Dutch Schaefer Action Figure

If you are willing to pay just a little more for the convenience of avoiding the hunt, then NECA’s eBay store is a great place to pick up hard to find items. Toys R Us had been fairly reliable with their aisle for collectors, but the ones in my area have squeezed out a lot of the shelf space that had been allocated for it.

You Have the Power! … to Win Club Eternia for 2014

She-Ra with Kylie Minogue

Want a Club Eternia subscription or 2014? How about for free? Sure you do. And all you have to do is submit a picture of you “Grayskulling.” What’s that, you ask? It’s MattyCollector’s term for pulling a He-Man pose.

With the MattyCollector “Grayskulling” contest, they’ll pick one winner, from those of you with little enough shame that you’ll send in a picture of yourself in the iconic “I have the Power!” pose. Don’t have a Power Sword? They’ll take alternates – humor and creativity count!

Frankly, I think it’s a little behind the times to think only of He-Man. She-Ra poses ought to count too, don’t you think? In fact, I think Kylie Minogue has already won this contest. But you guys and gals out there ought to send in your Grayskulling pics anyways. Good luck! Continue reading “You Have the Power! … to Win Club Eternia for 2014”

Get Warmed Up for San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives with Entertainment Earth’s Buy One Get One Half Off Sale

Entertainment Earth is hosting a great opening act for the big show – they’ve got a Buy One Get One Half Off sale on San Diego Comic-Con exclusives. The catch? It’s for the exclusives from past years. What, you didn’t expect them to put this year’s exclusives on sale before the show, did you?

There’s nearly 60 items on sale, from toy makers like Funko, Diamond Select Toys, Bif Bang Pow!, Underground Toys, Diamond Select Toys, and even Mattel (who hasn’t sold exclusives through Entertainment Earth, as far as I can recall.)

Get the Meowster of the Universe T-Shirt From Today’s Shirt Woot

If you’re a fan of Masters of the Universe Classics, and of Battle Cat in particular, maybe this t-shirt is for you. Or maybe it’s for your significant other. Check out the Meowster of the Universe t-shirt by Charity Ryan –  just $12 and free shipping.

If Only!

He-Man are go!

Oh man, just seeing this shirt makes me think, how cool would it have been if this were a real cartoon, right? Or maybe not this exact cartoon, but at least a cartoon from that era, you know, but with cats as characters?

Meowster of the Universe 1 Meowster of the Universe 2

I’m thinking it would be a group of cats, or cat-like humanoids, who travel the universe having adventures and fighting evil mutant aliens or something. And they’d have a cool name, a name that let’s you know they’re cats. But it wouldn’t just be “The Cats.” You’d have to throw something else in there, like maybe a weather condition, especially one that is primarily auditory.

Like, The Hissing-Wind-Felines. Yeah! That’s what it would be called! I wish they’d made that cartoon!

Win a Superman Man of Steel Premium Format Figure from Sideshow Collectibles

Sideshow Man of Steel Premium Format Figure Contest Sideshow Superman Premium Format Figure

I know a few folks who lost their Kryptonite over the Premium Format Superman that Sideshow offered for pre-order earlier in the year. And understandably so – the figure somehow evokes Christopher Reeves while having a more comic book superhero physique. Sideshow is about to do it again, with their Premium Format Superman from Man of Steel.

They posted the teaser image above, and best of all it’s attached to a giveaway of the Premium Format Man of Steel Superman figure. The entry period closes at the end of the month – typically, pre-orders open right after that. Good luck!
