(1.) Winners now has some G.I. Joe 30th Anniversity stuff. This includes the 12" Parachute Figure for around $20, the 4" figures(Waves 1-3 only) for around $8, and Wave 1 of the Bravo Class Vehicles(Vamp II, and Cobra Helicopter) for around $15. Should also note that Zellers now has the same 30th Anniversity Wave 1 Bravo Class vehicles for around $25.

 

(2.) Also at Winners, they now have the Wal-mart Exclusive 4" Green Lantern Movie Helicopter Construct set for around $8 or $9, which came with a Movie GL Hal in comic book colours, and a helicopter construct that can be seperated into many pieces to use as various constructs(Such as blades, engine fan, saw, etc).

 

(3.) Also at Winners, they now have a Star Wars: The Clone Wars Animated Gift/5 Pack that was an exclusive to a store, as it features Anakin Skywalker, Count Duoko, Clone Trooper, regular Battle Droid, and Super Battle Droid. The set was around $20. I assume this Star Wars set was a Wal-mart Exclusive, since they've had Marvel and Transformers ones done in a similar style packaging.

 

(4.) Wave 2 of the Transformers Prime Cyberverse line is now out, as it includes Cyberverse verisons of Ironhide, Dreadwing, Vehicon, and Breakdown as well as from the Movie universe, repainted Mirage and Soundwave from the Dark Of The Moon line, as well as Evac who is based on the Movie Ride.

Forgot to mention a few more things:

 

(1.) For The Amazing Spider-man toyline, Wave 2 of the 4" figures have been out little while now, as this features the Movie based figures, such as Lizard, and various Movie Spidey varients(Including the Popular Super Poseable Spidey). Also, Mega Blocks The Amazing Spider-man line has been out for a while too, incase anyone is interested. Some sets include Movie Spidey in different shades of red and blue, along with eye lenses colour. Also, there is 1 set with the Lizard in a lab coat(I think it's the Sewer set).

 

(2.) For The Dark Knight Rises 4" line, the new flying vehicle featured in the movie known as The Bat, is now out, as it's around $40. You can fit 4" figures inside the front cockpit, as it also comes with a launching Batman figure, which gives you the idea you've launched Batman from The Bat, as he glides down.

 

(3.) For the Transformers Movie Trilogy line(Which has mostly been cancelled by the way before Hasbro could even do a full release of the line), the only for sure release toy from the line, Deluxe Dark Of The Moon Optimus Prime With Trailer, has been out in Canada for a little while now, as it costs around $35. Have yet to see any of the Trilogy Deluxes that may or maynot come to Canada, as this includes Soundwave.

 

(4.) The Final Wave of the Deluxe Transformers Gernerations(AKA: Classics 3.0) line is now out at Winners for around $8. This wave includes Deluxe verisons of G1 Warpath, Wheeljack, Thundercracker, and updated verisons of G1 Scourage and G1 Sergent Kup(Updated in a sense that these are suppose to be the G1 verisons of the characters, but in new/different looking vehicle modes while robot modes are a good homage to their orginial G1 look). I think the G1 Junkheap was also part of this wave(Wreakgar mold with a new head sculpt), but I don't recall seeing it. I've also seen the other/older waves in Winners at pervious times I've went to them as well(Such as War For Cybertron verisons of characters, updated verison of G1 Perceptor, G2 Optimus Prime, etc).

 

(5.) I don't follow Monster High dolls, but I've noticed a few new things recently, including a Dr. Jekyll inspired figure(No Mr. Hyde inspired figure yet).

 

(6.) The new Winx Club dolls are now out in retail, as these dolls are based on the upcoming 5th Season of the show, which is now produced by Nickelodeon(Used to be 4Kids).

(1.) As many of you know, Wave 1 of the Toys R Us(TRU for short) Exclusive 4" Marvel Universe: Avengers Assembile Light Up Base figures has been out in Canadian TRU Stores for a long time, as the wave consisted of Bucky Cap, Bleeding Edge Iron Man, Hulk, and Modern Thor. What many of you may not know is that Wave 2 has recently started to show up in Canadian TRU stores as well, as this wave has Black Widow, Black Panther(With some Metallic Blue Highlights), Steve Rogers Captain America(No pouches, just a regular black belt), and Extremis Armour Iron Man done in red see through plastic with some blue "Glowing" highlights at the chest and hands. These cost around $20.

 

(2.) For the Winx Club line, not only do they have some regular size appox 12" dolls and accessories/playsets, but they also have some articulated 4" figures and some playsets for the 4" figures as well.

 

(3.) The Canadian TRU website at this time has some pre-orders for some 2012 TMNT stuff right now, including for the 6" Classics figures(Which looks like they will be around $22 when they come out), and a few stuff based on the upcoming Nickelodeon based cartoon series. It looks like Spin Master Toys will still be Canadian Company bringing over the toys to Canadian retail stores. Here's to hoping that Spin Master's disibution will be better this time than when they did both the 4Kids and 2007 CGI toyline(Will admit that the disibution for the 2008 Mini Mutants line was actually pretty good, as only the final wave stuff never came to retail stores). Here's the link to check out what TMNT stuff they have right now on the website:

Found the new Marvel Legends at Zellers...series one, first legends I've seen on shelves in a very long time. Good feeling :)

Plus they were %20 off, so I picked up Hope for about $16.

 

Walmart had the DKR movie masters, no price tag yet though.

Opticon: I have a quick question. In reguards to the Marvel Legends at Zellers, do you recall seeing the variant figures of Commander Steve Rogers(See-through Sheild), Stealth/Blue Extremis Armour Iron Man, and Orange Ghost Rider, or did you just see the regular verisons?

 

Anyways, got some news/stuff to tell you guys:

 

(1.) For anyone who is in Toronto and planning on going to the downtown core this week, the TD Centre this week is having a Sidewalk Sale until Friday, July, 20, 2012, as the Toys Toys Toys there(Which has now moved again, this time near a jewelly store), has a few stuff that are part of the Sidewalk Sale. Nothing major for most of us, but something to point out for those might be interested.

 

(2.) I've noticed that some Sears stores in the Toronto region has now gotten rid of their Toy Department, as both Fairview Mall and Scarborough Town Centre Sears no longer has a Toy Department. That said, Eaton's Centre does still have a Toy Department. If you've gone to Sears for toys before, this is something to keep in mind about, as I'm sure the samething is happening all over the country. Pretty much, this is similar to The Bay back a few years ago, where many Bay stores were starting to get rid of their Toy Department, which eventually lead to only 1 or 2 Bay stores in Toronto having before The Bay got rid of it completely.

 

(3.) For those who live in the Toronto area, according to my brother, he saw a sign at Scarborough Town Centre that said The Disney Store will be coming back to this mall sometime in the Fall. For those who don't know, the Eaton Centre did close down their Disney Store back before Christmas Day, as it was the last 1 in Toronto to be open. So it's good that The Disney Store is back in Toronto again. This is espeically true since months ago, ActionFigureNews.ca reported that other Disney Stores in Canada actually got the Marvel Select Disney Store Exclusive Avengers figures, as well as Wave 2 of the recent Hasbro Marvel Legends line(At least temporary, for they eventually were force to pull them from shelves, because the packaging was only in the U.S./English style packaging, instead Bi-linigual/Canadian style packaging).

 

(4.) I noticed some Comic Book stores are now carrying the Matty Exclusive DC Universe Classics figures(I think it's call Signature Series, I'm not sure), as I saw Red Rocket, Starman, and a Red Lantern guy(Forgot his name, but I think his name started with a "A").

Thanks for letting me know. Still hoping that the variants do show up in retail, just so that I can get them at a better price than what a comic book store will sell them for. Want the Varaint Commander Rogers and Stealth Iron Man.

Recent things I've seen:

 

(1.) The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toylines from Playmates are now out. The Classic Cartoon 6" figures cost around $22. As for the 5" line that's based on the new and upcoming Nickoledon series, the figures cost around $11, and The Shellraiser is around $45. They also had Leo's Role Playing Lightup Sword, but I didn't check the price.

 

(2.) Winners(And maybe Marshell's) has the Wal-mart Exclusive Transformers Dark Of The Moon Cyberverse Ultimate Gift Pack, which was a 5 Pack that was sold around Christmas time in 2011. This set features redeco's of Optimus Prime with Jet Pack(Prime's Jet Pack now has some Silver Flame deco's on the wings), as black and yellow Bumblebee, Sideswipe(With Red lines), Green Powerglide, and Crowbar with a flaming Decepticon logo. This set costs around $20.

 

(3.) Winners(Maybe Marshell's as well) now have the regular 12" G.I. Joe 30th Anniversity figures(Fireman, Police man with dog, 2 army guys) for around $20. Before, they only had the Paratrooper, which was also around $20. Interesting that both Zellers and Winners have the regular and the special Paratrooper figures for whatever same price their respective stores sold them at(Winners $20, Zellers $30), as I would of thought that the Paratrooper would of costed at least $5 more from the regular 12" figures due to the packaging size.

 

(4.) At Toys Toys Toys, they have some 4" The Amazing Spider-man Movie 3 Packs for around $40. I only saw 2 sets, as 1 was a Comic Book Series set, and the other was a Movie Series set, as both sets have 2 Spidey's with 1 the Spideys in both sets being a Bonus/Special figure. Pretty much most if not all of the figures and/or accessories in these sets are repaints/redeco's of the ones from the single carded verisons, however the Bonus/Special figures don't come with an accessory. Not sure but I think these are K-mart Exclusives in the U.S., since I do recall reading that K-mart has a Exclusive Comic Book Series 3 pack with Spidey, Venom, and Anti-Venom.

 

The Comic Book set features repaints of Wave 1 figures, as it has Grappling Hook Spidey(AKA: later Teen/Adult Manga Spidey) in brighter colours and his weblines on the mask isn't colour in, Venom in a more purple colour with the white parts replaced with silver, and the Bonus/Special figure is Ben Riely Spidey in a Red And Grey colours as his eyes, Spider logo, and webshooters are done glow in the dark paint.

 

As for the Movie Series set, it features repaints/re-releases of Wave 2 figures, as it features Reptile Blast Lizard who now has a metallic green missile launcher(From what I can tell, the figure is still the same deco as the single carded verison), as the 2 Spidey's are the regular non-superposeable verisons of the mold. 1 of them is a repaint of the Web Cannon Spidey(This was the single carded figure in darker colours as the blue is almost black/very dark blue, the Spider logo on his chest silver, and his eyes a metallic blue. I recall this 3 pack verison being in normal Movie Accurate Colours, but not 100% sure. His Canoon accessory is also repainted), while the Bonus/Speical figure is call Stealth Spidey, as he's done in see-through plastic(Mostly the blue is see-though, but I don't remember if any of the red was done the same way or not).

 

(5.) Both Winners(Maybe Marshell's) and Giant Tiger are now selling some re-releases and/or redeco's of some old Transformers Cybertron Jungle Planet Scout Class toys for around the $5-$7 price range. The Packaging is done in the Classics 3.0/Generations/Power Core Combiners style of packaging art. From what I can tell, there is 3 different figures, as they are Backstop(I believe he's a redeco of his orginial Cybertron toy for I seem more silver on the toy this time), Wreakloose(He looks like he may have been slightly repainted from the orginial Cybertron toy as I notice some black), and Undermine(From what I can tell, a straight re-release of the same Cybertron toy).

Somethings I've seen recently:

 

(1.) For the Matchbox 1:64 scale line, the Matchbox verison of the Batman: Power Up(AKA: Evergreen line) Batmobile is now out. So far, I've yet to seen the single carded verison, however I've seen it in a Matchbox 10 pack.

 

(2.) The Avengers Movie SHIELD Heilicarrier for the 4" line is now out in retail, as the price ranges from $80-$100 depending on the retail store.

 

(3.) For The Dark Knight Rises line, there is a Wal-mart Exclusive RC Black Batmobile at Wal-mart for around $20 by Thinkway Toys.

 

(4.) At Wal-mart, I saw a Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Leader Class Bumblebee V.S. Deluxe Starscream 2 pack for around $40. I believe this was a Wal-mart Exclusive.

 

(5.) There is a new doll line by MGA(Makers of the Bratz line) as it's call Bratzilla, which is basically their Monster High rip-off line done in Bratz style dolls.

 

(6.) I've seen for the 1st time, Mastio's Avengers Movie Die-cast theme deco vehicles, which includes single package 1:64 scale vehicles. Speaking of Mastio, they've had out for a while now some various The Amazing Spider-man Die-cast theme deco vehicles in various scales such as 1:64 and 1:24. For the Spidey 1:64 scale, they have both singles and 5 packs. Of interest for the 1:64 scale Spidey movie vechiles to some collecters include 2 modern White with Blue details NYPD vehciles, with 1 of them being a Police car, and the other being a helicopter(Should note that both Police vehicles have a very small The Amazing Spider-man logo on them).

 

(7.) Might be of interest for those who have a iPod Touch/Phone/Pad as well as a Android phone/tablet, as there is a some new video game-esque devices that can be used for these devices by Whowee, as prices varies. The line is call AppGear, as it includes accessories that can be used for playing video games with that you download for free created by them. They include 2 different sets of Zombie figures(Looks similar to a Plants V.S. Zombies rip-off type game), a Blaster for what looks like a shooting game with a guy in armour, an alien invasion game, a flying video game, and more.

 

(8.) There is now some new Mega Blocks Halo toys now out, as they used a Halo 4 inspired style packaging.

 

(9.) Saw for the 1st time, some DC Comics theme Fisher Price Little People stuff, as it includes little vehicles with a figurine stuck in them, as well as vehicle sets with a Little People figurine verison of a DC character. 1 of these vehcile sets was a Batmobile with a Batman figurine, and the other was a Invisable Jet with a Wonder Woman figurine.

 

(10.) Saw for the 1st time some new approx 5" Fisher Price Hero World figures which now have electronic speak and sound effects, as these include figures based on Rescue Heroes, and some DC Characters(So far, I only know of Batman, Hal Jorden Green Lantern, and Joker). It looks like there will also be a Batcopter for this line as well.

 

(11.) There is a Wal-mart Exclusive Hot Wheels Colour Shifters Monster Jam toys now out at Wal-mart.

 

(12.) A new wave of 1:64 Scale Hot Wheels Light Speeders is now out, as this wave includes The Back To The Future Time Machine.

 

(13.) Hot Wheels Speed Cycles from 2011 has now changed it's name in 2012 to Hot Wheels Motor Cycles, as these cost around the $5 price range. I don't know the scale of these cycles(Maybe 1:43, I don't know), but these motorcycles each have a figurine stuck on them. Many of the 2012 verisons are either straight re-releases and/or redeco's of the 2011 verisons, as the packaging style between the 2011 and 2012 verisons are different as well. 1 of these vehicles includes a Purple with light blue window Batcycle with a Grey and Blue suit with Yellow Oval logo Batman figurine stuck on it, as both the 2011 and 2012 verisons of this Batcycle are the same.

(1.) The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toylines from Playmates are now out. The Classic Cartoon 6" figures cost around $22. As for the 5" line that's based on the new and upcoming Nickoledon series, the figures cost around $11, and The Shellraiser is around $45. They also had Leo's Role Playing Lightup Sword, but I didn't check the price.

 

I hit up Toys R Us in Edmonton on Calgary Trail Yesterday and they were pretty much cleaned out, only 3 Shellraiser's and some Leo RP Swords, so here hoping they get more, really hoping to get my hands on a set of The Classic 6" figures before I have to hit up ebay, so far only US sellers and 40 bucks for Shipping. I picked up four of the Nickloden figures for 20 bucks each (ouch) at a collector store in west ed mall, only to find them at Warp One for 13 bucks each FML.

I'm surprised that my comic shops are asking for $19.99 each for the Classics TMNT while Toys R Us is pricing them for $21.99 I believe.

Joe: Rise Of Cobra Combat Heroes 2 pack figures for around $4, as they included a few Wave 1 stuff, but also some later/last wave stuff that I don't recall seeing in retail.

(1.) Wave 2 of Hasbro's 6" Return Of Marvel Legends is now out in regular retail, which is the wave where you build Arnim Zola if you collect most of the figures, which includes Bucky Cap, Drax, and Fantomex. I've only seen the regular verisons of the rest of the figures, which includes so far Big Time Spider-man, Masked Dark Wolverine, Thunderball for the Wreaking Crew, and Madame Masque for the Marvel Madame's.

 

(2.) For the 5" Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys based on upcoming Nick Cartoon series, they now have some more vehicles out, as the more basic vehicles are around $16(Ripped Rider Motocycle, and Sewer Spinnin' Skateboard And Stunt Ramp), and the Deluxe vehicles with a figure for around $25(Dragon Chopper With Foot Soilder, and Ninja Stealth Cycle With Ralph). As well, the Deluxe line is now out as well, which cost around $17. So far, the Deluxe line include some Sound Effects verions of the 4 Turtles and Shredder(Who has a cape by the way compare to the basic figure), as when you pull a limb, they say a phrase, and make a sound effect as well. Hold the limb long enough, and they trail 1 word for a while.

 

(3.) For the 6" The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters line, Catwoman is now out in regular retail, as I saw both the Goggles Up and Goggles Down verison.

 

(4.) The 2012 Sears Christmas Wish is now out, which you can pick up at a Sears Catalog Store or section of a Sears store. In reguards to interesting toys that maybe coming out in the near future in regular retail:

 

- Best-Lock Construction Toys(A Lego-esque toyline), it looks like some Lego like toys based on both Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis are going to be out in the near future.

- While I don't know the scale, there is going to be a Hot Wheels Remote Control 1960's T.V. Batmobile coming out soon as well.

 

(5.) From The Amazing Spider-man Movie line, there is now a 6" Web Battlers(AKA: 6" Action Feature figures) Water Squirting 2 Pack of Spidey V.S. Lizard for about $25.

Figure is see-throgh plastic with some white snowy effect), and Apocalypse(black and some metallic blue).

 

As well, the TRU Exclusive X-men V.S. Avengers Comic book 2 Packs are now out for about $20, which isn't based on the current storyline, but an older 4 Issue storyline where Magneto(Who had just joined the X-men) becomes Public Enemy#1, as he is hunted by both the Avengers and some Russian Super Soilders, with the X-men caught in the middle now protecting Magneto. To me, the artwork suggests that it was written around the 1980's or early 1990's at least. So far, there are 2 sets, as 1 of them is Captain America V.S. Magneto(No helment, and in a costume I didn't even know he wore, as it's mainly purple with some white gloves and boots), and the other is She-Hulk V.S. Brown Suit Wolverine.

 

(9.) TRU Exclusive Electronic Ghostbusters Plush toys are now out at TRU for around $25, as they include Slimer and Stay Puff.

Continuing where I last left off, starting with more Transformers stuff:

 

- Transformers Prime Weaponizers is now out in regular retail. Weaponzier toys are approx Leader Class size transforming toys from robot to vehicle mode, with a Stealth Force aspect to it thanks to the fact that there is some pop up weapons in both modes. Forgot the price.

- For Transformers Kreo, The Quest For Energon sets are now out, in which you collect all sets, and you can create a Kreo Energon weapons/blaster. So far, only Optimus Prime and Bumblebee have been done in this scale.

 

(3.) For the 4" The Amazing Spider-man movie line, the new wave of figures are now out, which includes Movie Invisi-Skin Lizard(Has See-through plastic feet, hands, and part of tail. As well, a water blaster), and 2 new Movie Spidey variants, with 1 of them riding a flying glider(Similar to the various Goblins), and the other call "Night Mission Spider-man" as rope can come out of his right hand and you can attach either a sucition cup or a hook on it(However, I think the colours on the figure are a bit bright for something call "Night Mission" Spidey).

 

(4.) There is now a TRU 4" Marvel Universe Spider-man Comic Book 2 packs now out at TRU for around $22, as there are 2 different sets. 1 of them is Black and Red Steve Ditko style Spidey V.S.

The other set is a Future Foundation set that features Dr. Doom(In white), and a Black Suit verison of Future Foundation Spidey(Which is really a Negative Zone verison of Future Foundation Spidey), and comes with Future Foundation Issue 4.

- For the 1:64 Scale Colour Shifters line, there is now some X-Ray verions, in which when you pour water, the car becomes see-through plastic(At least that's my understanding. Either that, or the see-through plastic changes colour).

 

(6.) For both Bandai's and Mega Blocks Power Rangers: Samurai lines, they've recently rebanded the toyline as Power Rangers: Super Samurai, which is in reference to the 2nd season of this series. Both Bandai's and Mega Blocks Super Samurai toys not only include some regular/2011 Samurai toys being re-released under the Super Samuari banner, but also some new toys. For Bandai, this includes some new 4" figures(Such as Shogun Red Samurai Ranger, and Mega Super Samurai verisons of main 5 Rangers), some new Zord sets with a approx 4" figurine(1 includes The Light Zord with Gold Ranger figurine), a White Tigerzord vehicle like zord with a 4" Red Ranger figure, and some new action feature based 6" figures(Such as turn a thumb knob on the back, and the figure can do a moving action feature).

(7.) At Dollarama, they now are selling for $3, some Green Lantern Movie Theme Action League 3 Packs, which basically is each set featuring 3 figurines based on their movie designs done in Super Deform/Superhero Squad-esque figurine style(Before, I think we've only seen Comic Book style figurines). There are 3 different sets to collect from what I can see, as it looks like these were at 1 time avaliable as a Wal-mart Exclusive(Dollarama put a white stick over the Wal-mart Exlcusive sticker, but you can still make out the blue Wal-mart Exclusive sticker). What's interesting, is that each set has at least 2 or 3 removable accessories(My understanding is that these types of figurines usually have their accessories stuck to their hands), as the accessories are actually Constructs that you put in the figurine's hands. No clue if these Construct accessories can fit into any other different scale action figure hands, such as Mattel and DC Direct 6" figures.

 

I should note that Dollarama is now also selling 4" Pirates Of The Carribean: On Stranger Tides single figures for around $3 as well.

 

(8.) For those who still need any Wave 1 of The Return Of Marvel Legends figures from Hasbro, I should note that Wal-mart has recently(And finally) started to sell this line for around the $17-$18 price range. For Wave 1, I only saw the regular verisons, as I didn't see any of the variants(Commander Rogers with See-Through Plastic Shield, Blue/Stealth Extremis Armour Iron Man, and Orange Ghost Rider). If anyone sees the Blue Iron Man variant in regular retail, please give me a heads up. Recently got a loose Commander Rogers figure from someone, as this forced me to buy the regular verison of Commander Rogers as well for the Terrax piece.

 

(9.) The new Ben 10 line known as Ben 10: Omniverse has been out in Canada for a while. As usual, this new Ben 10 line, which is based on the new season of the Ben 10 series, will feature various different types of toys, figures, and figurines, in various scales.

Should note that each toy comes with a card that can be used as either for collecting, or for a Card Game aspect of sorts.

 

(3.) Lego's TMNT toys have been out in retail since just before Christmas 2012.

 

(4.) Wave 2 of the Nickoledon TMNT line has been out just before Christmas in retail, as it includes Dogpound, Metalhead, and Fishface.

 

(5.) For Mattel's 6" Batman Power Attack line, the 2013 line is now out in retail, which includes a newer style packaging. So far, me and/or my brother have seen the regular 6" figures which includes some new figures(Like variant colour Batman's, and The Joker), as well as some re-release figures with the same accessories from the 2012 line in the newer style packaging(Such 1 of the regular looking Batman variants, and Mr. Freeze). As well, a newer design Batmobile is now out too for I believe around the $25 price range, as it's this time Black, and it looks like it has no electronics or push a button style acton features what's so ever.

 

(6.) At Winners and Marshell's:

 

- Before Christmas, they had the McFarlane Halo 10th Annveristy line(From what I tell, only the single figures), as some locations now have the single figures are now on clearence for under $6, as prices may vary depending on the location.

 

- The Avengers Movie toyline from Hasbro have been out in these stores since just before Christmas. So far, seen the Quinjet($30), the regular vehicles, roleplay stuff, and both the Basic and Deluxe 4" figures. I believe the Deluxe figures are $10 each.

 

- Transformes Prime toys I've seen recently have included some Cyberverse toys such as the single figures and the Cyberverse playsets(Wheeljack's ship, Bumblebee's Mechsuit, and Knock Out's Energon Driller), the 2 Pack with Bumblebee V.S. Starcream and some evil humans with a DVD, and some roleplaying toys.

 

- They have some of the 2011/early 2012 Transfromers Kero toys, including some of the big sets. That said, have yet to see the Optimus Prime With Trailer set.

 

- From Bandai's Thundercats toyline(Based on the now cancelled series), I saw some Roleplaying toys incluing the Sword Of Omens, and the Gold Claw Glove.

 

(7.) The Beyblade Metal Fury toys have sort of came out in retail around Christmas time, but are now out in full force.

(1.) For Power Rangers Mega Force, there is now also out in retail, some between 6" and 7" Super Articulated figures that each come with armour attachments that you put on the figures(Can't tell for sure what scale these are, but I think it's 6"). So far, I've only seen Mega Force Red and Blue Rangers. These cost around $17.

 

(2.) The newer Yoda Green style Star Wars packaging toys are now just starting to come out from both Hasbro and Lego, as the Yoda packaging is used to help celebrate Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones being re-released in 3D this year. Also from Hasbro, there are now some 12" Star Wars figures as well for if I remember correctly, around the price range of $13, as I've so far only seen the Clone Trooper. For those curious, from looking at the 12" Clone Trooper, he looks like he has the very basic 5 points of articulation, and it looks like his blaster is molded into his hand instead of being a sepearate piece, which probably means that any other 12" figures will be pretty much the same.

 

(3.) For various Hasbro Marvel lines:

 

- Iron Man 3 Movie toys have so far been release at least in Wal-mart, as I'm not sure if they are suppose to be out now, or if there is suppose to be a Official Release Date for the Iron Man 3 Movie toys and Wal-mart broke it/didn't realize. So far, I've seen some roleplaying toys, and the 10" Electronic figures. Official Release Date or not, this line will be out in other stores sooner or later.

 

- It would also look like both The Ultimate Spider-man and Avengers Assembile toylines based on their respectuve new animated series are starting to come out, at least in Wal-mart so far. That said, I have no idea if these are suppose to have a Offical Release Date or not, and if there was 1, if Wal-mart broke it or didn't realize. So far, I've only seen Roleplaying toys that looks like they are re-release and repainted toys from both The Avengers Movie and The Amazing Spider-man Movie lines, such as the Hulk hands, and some webshooter like toys. Release Dated or not, these lines should be out in other stores soon.

 

(4.) For Lego, there are now 2 new toylines out, as 1 of them is a outer space Humans V.S. Aliens theme line call Galaxy Squad, and the other is a fantasy humanoid animal battles type line call Legends Of Chima(Which to me thanks to he Lion looking king guy, gives off a Lego verison of the recent Thundercats series vibe to it. Makes me wonder if Chima was suppose to be Thundercats before the recent cartoon series got canceled).

 

Also, The Hobbit Lego toys have been out since just before Christmas, and for The Ultimate Spider-man Lego toys based on the current animated series, the Daily Bugle set is now out too.

 

(5.) Incase anyone didn't know, the last set of Zellers stores have started their closing down process since around Boxing Day, as they are now clearencing out stuff. Never know what they may have that you want, weither it be toys, electronics, clothing, etc. And of course, as we get closer to it's closing date, things will get mark down even more. For those wondering if there is still a Zellers open that they maybe able to go to, here's a link for info that you can use to help you out. Just click on the provance that you live in, and look at the list:

The Man Of Steel line, based on the upcoming Superman movie, is now out, including various Legos sets, and stuff from Mattel, including 4" figures with accessories(Around $10), 6" Movie Masters(Around $23), various Quickshot toys(Those rubby type slingshot figures), Flight Speeders(Launching a flying Superman type figurine from a spacecraft Supermobile like vehicle. Around $20), small vehicle with little figurine stuck on them with missile launchers(Around $13), and Electronic Mega Punch Superman(About $30).

 

(2.) Mattel's 6" Batman Unlimited and DC Unlimited have been out in retail, as so far, I've only seen Wave 1 in retail stores, which includes New 52 verisons of Batgirl, Flash, and Hawkman, Super Powers theme Pengiun, and and re-releases of New 52 Batman and Superman now done in metallic paint. It would appear that these cost around $20-$25 in retail stores. Meanwhile, Comic Book and Collector Toy Stores have recently started to have Wave 2, which includes Injustice Batman, New 52 Wonder Woman, Planet X Batman with Batmite, and The Dark Knight Returns Batman.

 

(3.) For Transformers:

 

- Deluxe Wave 3 of the Generations line has been out for a little while now, which includes Fall Of Cybertron verisons of Ultra Magnus, Kickback, Starscream, Sideswipe, and Air Raid.

 

- Some of the last wave or 2 regular Transformers Prime stuff before they changed to Beast Hunters have been showing in retail for almost the past month, as these include Deluxe Class Hot Shot, Stealth Bumblebee, Dead End, Knockout, Sergeant Kup, Rumble and Airrachnid. That said, these same deluxe toys have been out in Winners for a little while as for around $10. However, I have yet to see Vehicon anywhere at all. Also, Voyager Class Ultra Magnus, and Thundertron have been out in regular retail, but I've yet to see Skyquake anywhere.

(4.) For Hasbro Marvel Stuff:

 

- For the Avengers Aseemble line that's based on the new and upcoming cartoon series, the 6" Battlers figures(Action feature based 6" figures) are now out for around $17, as more roleplaying toys have come out as well(Mainly more re-release and recoloured Avengers movie stuff).

 

- Marvel Legends Wave 4(AKA: The Hit Monkey Wave) is now out in retail, as these include She-Hulk, Protector, and Hyperion, who you need to build Hit Monkey. The other figures don't have the Hit Monkey pieces, as these are Ultimate Cap with a Combat Vest, Weapon X Wolverine, and normal Archangel. I have yet to see any of the variants/running change figures, which includes X-Force Archangel, Sentry(Instead of Hyperion), and Lyra(Instead of Red She-Hulk). I haven't seen Wave 3(The Non-Build A Figure wave) in any regular retail store, which suggests either retailers or Hasbro Canada is maybe skipping this wave.

 

- The recent wave of 4" Marvel Universe 3 packs have shown up in retail, which are the West Coast Avengers(Mockingbird, Hawkeye, and War Machine) and The Uncanny X-men(Rogue, Wolverine, Longshot, and X-Babies Cyclops) sets for around $25-$30.

Joe Retaliation, some retailers have Wave 2 of the 4" figures, which inlcudes light up with sled Firefly, Movie accurate Snake Eyes, Movie Storm Shadow in a Verison 2 inspired deco, Battle-Kata Roadblock(The 1st Movie accurate Roadblock with all those accessories that interact with some handle accessories), and Flint. Wave 2 of the 3 packs have been out for a little while now too, which includes The Cobra Invasion Team(Storm Shadow, Firefly, and Red Cobra Paratrooper who is a repaint of the POC Cobra SWAT trooper), and Joe Tactical Ninja Team(Includes Mouser, Stg. Airbrone, and re-release of the really cool POC Snake Eyes figure but with different gear and V2 head only).

 

As for vehicles for the 4" line, I've seen the Alpha Class Flint with Motocycle set, the Bravo Class Tread Ripper Tank with Clutch, and the Delta Class Ninja Combat Cruiser with Night Fox. I've also seen a few new roleplaying stuff, including a roleplaying Joe Trooper face mask, and Ninja Nunchucks.

 

(7.) For TMNT based on the new Nickoledion CGI series, seen many new things since the last time I typed here, including the basic 5" Ooze Tossing Figures, the Pizza Box into a Subway/Swear Playset, the 6" Deluxe Action Feature based Flingerz, the Patrol Buggy Vehcile 2 packs(1 set has Leo and Don's the other has Ralph and Mike's. Get both sets, and you can combine them into 1 vehicle), and the Ooze Cansters which each features 1 of the 4 Turtles.

 

(8.) At Winners/Marshells:

 

- Transformers Prime Optimus Maximus is basically between $20-$30, depending on which store and location you go to.

 

- 4" Marvel Universe Comic Book 2 packs are around $13. I remember seeing Hulk V.S. 1st Appearence Wolverine, Captian Britian V.S. Spider-man, Un-helment Juggernaunt V.S. Colossus, Modern Thor And Extremis Iron Man, and I think Bullseye V.S. Daredevil(Don't quite remember on this).

(1.) Wave 2 of the Mattel 6" DC and Batman Unlimited figures are now out in regular retail.

 

(2.) For the Transformers Generations line, Voyager Class Autobot Blaster is now out, along with his respective 2 sets of Legends Class 2 pack Autobot Data Disk characters.

 

(3.) For Hasbro`s Kero line, the Star Trek line have just started to show up in retail, as the Toys R Us Exclusive G.I. Joe line have been out for a little while now. Both lines include various sets, as well as Single Blind Pack Mini Figures.

 

(4.) For Hasbro`s 4" Marvel Universe Singles line, I`ve recently saw some new figures for the 1st time in retail, including Modern Jubilee, Future Foundation Spider-man, Peter Parker verison of Ultimate Spider-man, Beta Ray Bill, that new sculpted Hulk as a single figure, Falcon, Modern She-Hulk, new sculpted Punisher in black suit and white gloves and boots, Scarlet Witch, Kang, and the regular verison Blastaar(I haven`t seen the variant yet). My brother said he also saw some of these same figures at a Disney Store, as he said he also saw Professor X there too(No clue if that`s out in retail or not).

 

(5.) In reguards to some Toys R Us Exclusive Power Rangers stuff that`s been out for a while:

 

- The Orginial Japanese verison of the Power Rangers Samurai Megazord(Which is larger than the actual North America verison, has more details, and is in it`s orginial Japanese packaging) is around $80.

 

- The reissue of the 2010 verison of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Megazord had been out a while ago, as I recalled it being between $60-$80. The 2013 verison of the 2010 verison has more accurate sticker details, some metallic or shiny paint job, and some diecast parts.

 

(6.) For Power Rangers Mega Force line:

 

- Lego like toys from Mega Blocks have been out for a while now, including some various size sets, and some Single Blind Pack Mini-Figures. I should note that the Mini-Figures this time have a bit more articulation than the Mega Blocks Samurai Mini-Figures(Which were more like the Lego figure articulation). No elbows or knees like the Halo or War Of Warcraft Mini-Figures, but they do have Ball jointed arms and legs at least. Maybe Ball jointed head and maybe waist as well, but don`t know about that.

 

- Styalized Vinyl Figures from Bandai are now out for around $12.

Just an update on this post:

 

(4.)

(1.) Some Bandai Power Rangers updates and info:

 

- The Toys R Us(TRU for short) Legency Mighty Morphin Power Rangers(MMPR for short) Megazord, I was able to confirm that the regular price at TRU is around $60.

 

- I've finally seen the TRU Exclusive Legency MMPR Morpher Set at TRU, as the regular price is around $50. It's a new scuplt, as it seems it's actually a little bigger than the orginial Morpher, as well, it has some diecast parts, a belt buckle to attact to your belt, and the sound effects are different.

 

- Although I've yet to seen it in person, my brother a while ago saw the TRU Exclusive approx 6" or 7" MMPR Red Ranger Armoured Figure at a TRU store, which is basically a 6" or 7" MMPR Red Ranger figure with Power Sword, Power Blaster, and the Green Ranger Dragon Shield, Dagger, and Arm Bands(To repersent after the Green Ranger lost his powers for the 1st time due to Rita trying to drain his powers, as he gave Red his Power Coin to prevent Rita from gainning the Green Ranger Powers). The figure is around $17 at TRU, and according to pics I've seen online, it's in the MegaForce style packaging and logo, but also features a small MMPR logo and the Power Rangers 20th Anniversity Logo as well.

 

- I saw a while ago at TRU, a TRU Exclusive 4" Power Rangers MegaForce 6 Pack, which features all 5 Rangers and the Robo Ranger, as this set costs around $45. As far as I can tell, these figures are exactly the same as the single carded verisons, and it looks like they also come with all their respective accessories as well.

 

- Bandai has made some approx 2" Power Rangers: MegaForce Super Deform/"Super Hero Squard" like Single Figurines in blind baggy packaging, as they cost around $4. For MegaForce, they have all 5 Rangers plus the Robo Ranger, as well, clear see-through plastic verisons of Red and Robo Rangers.

 

As well, the back of the packaging shows that they are also making 2" Super Deform/"Super Hero Squard" like figurines based on MMPR, as the packaing states that these will be hard to find. They show the figurines in a outline shadowly look, but from the looks of it, there will be MMPR verisons of Red, Black, and Pink Rangers, as well as Lord Zedd. What I don't know is if these MMPR figurines are going to be in the Mega Force type packaging, or if they will be in their own MMPR style packaging.

 

(2.) For Mattel's Barbie Collectors Line, they've release a Barbie Dolls Of The World line for around $30, as they apparently will have a Barbie Doll that's wearing clothing or costumes based on the country she is repersenting. So far in retail, I've only seen the Canada Barbie Doll, who is dress in a Canadian Mountie clothing, as I have no idea if the releases are going to be localize/Country based(In other words, if Canada will only get the Mountie based figure, while the U.S. will only get the U.S. figure, Brazil only a Brazil based figure, Africa only a Africa based figure, etc). The line is part of the Pink Label line.

 

(3.) For the various Hot Wheels 1:64 Scale Collectors based lines that usually cost between $4-$5(These are Hot Wheels that aren't part of the basic $1.50 line, as they also usually have either unique scuplts, more paint, sometimes rubber tires, and/or more details):

 

- There is a Power Rangers line, which features some vehicles designs or decos that are inspired by either MegaForce or Power Rangers 20th Anniversity.

 

- There as some new DC Comics based ones. For the Regular line, there is a Mr. Freeze type vehicle that's new, as well, both Joker and Superman based vehicles have been re-released and redeco. For the Water Colour Changing line, they've made new vehicles based on Bane, re-released the Colour Changing Joker car, and done a Lamborghini Michelangelo to repersent Bruce Wayne/Batman(1 colour for Bruce Wayne, and the other for Batman. the Michelangelo was the car that Bruce drove in 2008's The Dark Knight). What's neat about the Bruce Wayne/Batman Lamborghini, is that when it's Batman, it not only has some Oval Batman logos, but also the old Batman: The Animated Series "Batman in shadows against the moon" logo.

 

- For Hot Wheels Nostalgia Brands Line for 2013(Which basically has some vehicles that features some colours, logos, artwork, and decos based on various brands), I've so far seen the Looney Tunes and the 2013 DC Comics based ones. For 2013's DC Comics Nostalgic Brands, there is Modern Catwoman, Dennis O'Neal(1970'-1990's inspired) Batman, Modern like Joker, Harley Quinn, Modern Bizzaro #1, and Modern Superman.

 

- The Entertainment Series has been out for a little while now, as these are suppose to be vehicles based on various Movies and T.V. Shows. The only ones I've seen so far is K.A.R.R. from Knight Rider, A_Team Van, Mupperts Bus from The Muppets Movie, and some vehicles based on American Graffiti. I've yet to seen K.I.T.T., Ghostbusters Ecto-1, 1960's T.V. Batmobile, or Back To The Future Time Machine., however those could be from different waves.

 

(4.) Looks like Comic Book and Collector Toy Stores now have Wave 3 of Mattel's 6" DC Unlimited, which includes Injustice verisons of Joker and Superman, and New 52 verisons of Darkseid and Aquaman. This means that retail stores may get them in the near future.

(1.) To celebrate Matchbox's 60th Anniversity, Matchbox has release some 1:64 scale vehicles with a actual matchbox to store the vehicle in, similar to how Matchbox sold their 1:64 scale cars back when they 1st came out. These seem to sell around the $3-$5 price range, depending on the retailer.

 

(2.) Hasbro has now started to do some larger 5 points of articulation figures that are "16 for some of their lines, larger than the 12" ones that are already out. So far, I've seen Transformers Prime Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and a Iron Man figure that's part of the Iron Man 3 line(Design is either a comic based, or something made up). I forgot the exact price, but I believe these were between $25-$30 in retail. These look kind of like knock-offs, so I kind of chuckled when the packaging said something like "Great Detailing" as a selling point on the Transformers ones.

 

(3.) For Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters line, both Ultimate Class Beast Fire Predaking and Beast Hunter Optimus Prime are now out in retail. It would appear that Predaking is around $60, while Optimus is around $70.

 

(4.) For the Basic 1:64 Scale Hot Wheels line(The Hot Wheels that usually cost between $1.00-$1.50), the Max Steel Motocycle that's based on the newer and upcoming Max Steel toyline and T.V. show(Which seems to be taking a Ben 10 inspired theme to it, where Max is a teen, and Steel is a alien robot of some sort, and they combine to form a Superhero like character), is now out in retail.
