Toys R Us Exclusive Battlestar Galactica Steath Warrior Cylon

I’ll admit to being an old school “Battlestar” fan, more knowledgeable about the original series than the new. But when I saw this Cylon figure hanging on the pegs at my local Toys R’ Us, i had to pick it up. It has enough of the old look mixed with the new to please the old school fans such as myself.

Marvel Minimates Toys R Us Two-Packs Wave 6

The 6th wave of Toys R Us Marvel Minimates Two-Packs have started to hit Toys R Us stores this week with a line up of Thor Reborn/Lady Loki, Secret-Wars Storm/Klaw (TRU exclusive), Stretch Attack Mr. Fantastic/World War Hulk (TRU exclusive) and Battle-damaged Wolverine/Captain America. I didn’t pick up the Wolverine/Cap pack as I already have a Wolvie and I didn’t like the way Cap looked. I thought his mask wasn’t well executed and I’m hoping for a better one in the future.

We’ll have a look at the other three sets today!

Marvel Select Iron Man and War Machine Packaged Pics

I saw the Marvel Select Iron Man 2 figures in person at Toy Fair and they’re awesome.  They’re probably a little too big for a Marvel Legends collection, but will fit in great with your 7-inch movie figures, if you have any of those.  The pictures also show War Machine as a Borders exclusive – not sure if that’s really the case.

The Iron Man you’ve been waiting for…

Marvel Select Iron Man and War Machine!

The Mark 6 and the Mark 4!

Look for the Mark 4 as an exclusive from Borders!
