AFP’s Best of 2012 – Sandman’s Picks

Happy New Year everyone! Well, 2012 has come and gone, and like every year, Ron has asked us to pick our own Best of 2012!

I have to say, 2012 was a tough year for toy collecting for me. With prices going up across the board and my wife and I having our first baby this past July, the budget for toys had to be trimmed down. It didn’t help that there were so many awesome toys that came out during this year! Of the toys that I did manage to get, here’s my Top 5 for 2012!

These guys were actually available for pre-order from ThreeA in November 2011, but since they came out in 2012 they’re on this list!

Marvel Legends Deadpool by Raybot – just like hockey teams alter their jerseys every season (at least, when they aren’t locked out), the comic companies love to change their characters’ costumes – when it results in a custom like Raybot’s Marvel Now Deadpool, I complain just a little bit less than usual – ends Jan 06, 2013 17:30:05 PST

Hot Toys Announces G.I. Joe Retaliation Snake Eyes

Hot Toys GI JOE Retaliation Snake Eyes 1

I’m in trouble – Hot Toys just announced a 12-inch Snake Eyes figure. Sure, it’s a movie figure for Retaliation, but it’s mother-effin Snake Eyes. The first movie left me only lukewarm – it didn’t quite immortalize the Joes, and the Snake Eyes costume, with its molded lips on the mask, left a lot to be desired. But the costume redesign, and how it looks on this figure, has raised the bar.

I still don’t have high expectations for the G.I. JOE Retaliation sequel, but I must have this Snake Eyes figure for my toy shelf.
