MarkAndrew at Comics Should Be Good
Went to ToysRUs earlier and noticed the range wasn't very good. They still haven't restocked the Star Wars shelves (its been well over 6 months now). A lot of the staff don't seem to know anything about the merchandise either. Its the same experience at many of the leading retailers. And its not the first time I have noticed that the range tends to be the same from store to store. It contrasts vividly to when I was growing up; the shelves were stocked regularly and the staff did know about what they were carrying in-store. Its a shame because I have always felt the staff add a lot to the buying in-store experience but these days they don't seem to know much.

I saw this last night and thought it was pretty cool. I haven't checked this thread but in case it isn't mentioned, Figures Toy Co. is doing the retro DC Mego heroes and villains, and will add more characters to the old line, BUT they are also doing Mego-like figures based off the 60s TV show. Check out the heads of Joker and Egghead!

Bit of a collector of old 1980's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe stuff -- For us children of the eighties do you remember the old record with booklet attached ?
They were really adverts produced by Mattel so that kids would buy the accompanying toys.
Made the one I have into a more friendly form.
Enjoy
The first & only model kit I've ever assembled. This one cranks and walks by itself.

While visiting toy stores I found this Ultimate Spider-Man 12 inch figure (from Titan Hero Series). In terms of articulation its a very basic figure, you can move the arms and legs back and forth and turn the head right around 360. What sets the figure apart is the excellent paintwork and the size. I have been after a 12 inch Spider-Man figure for some time and it does look very cool.

Was out running errands all day and stopped by the Garden Center of Meijers to get some mulch, while there I poked my head in the toy department and found this Imaginext Hawkman figure...
It's for younger kids, but I love the look of Hawkman in general so I snagged it to add the the growing shelf of DC Hawks...
