As the saying goes: 'Tis the season. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, the holiday and the sales are very much all around us. Toy aisles are being assaulted for their precious stock, and there is pandemonium in stores looking to get those great end of the year bargains.

Throughout all of the insanity that comes with the end of December, many collectors and toy enthusiasts are able to procure new items for their collections. Sometimes these come as gifts under the Christmas tree, sometimes it comes from picking up a few items in stores when shopping for others, and sometimes it comes in the days after Christmas when taking advantage of some after Christmas sales.

So the question, dear collectors, is this: What did you get this year? Were you able to add anything to your collection from gifts received? Go out and pick up something for yourself in the last two weeks? Well then hop on in to our "Look at What I Just Got" thread and share your shiny new riches with us! Post a picture of your latest and greatest in the thread and take a look at what your other Toyarkers were able to get their hands on!... [Read More]

Are you a fan of the Rurouni Kenshin manga/anime, or Samurai X OVA's? Well, Tamashii Nations maybe working on something neat in store for you...

This week Bluefin Tamashii Nations posted the following on their Facebook page(also mentioning the return of the Rurouni Kenshin manga next year, May 2012!):

Yay! How many of you saw or read the original anime or manga? Also, there may be something co-... :-)

Now we've known that Tamashii Nations is producing a Figuarts Zero(non-poseable figure) of Himura Kenshin, so that isn't news as it was already shown in Japan awhile ago. However, a fully articulated SH Figuarts Rurouni Kenshin is sure to excite....so...maybe...perhaps...they are hinting at a SH Figuarts Rurouni Kenshin figures!

The SH Figuarts line is a popular line of fully articulated action figures from various series. From Super Sentai, to Kamen Rider, and various anime series, it's a wide ranging line by Tamashii Nations and is quite popular. Do you want Rurouni Kenshin figures added to the mix?... [Read More]

GA Graphic has posted new images of the Yamato VF17S Nightmare, which was released this week! This is the 1st, new, transforming toy of the VF17 released since the mid 90's(the DX 1/65 by Bandai was released then and reissued in the early 2000's), and also the 1st fully articulated VF17 Nightmare toy!

The new VF17 Nightmare by Yamato also features an impressive amount of articulation, it can even stand on 1 foot! That's surprising for a big robot figure this size. Not that many Macross figures can pull that off. Photos by Yamato show the Nightmare on 1 foot, and that's not all!

Read on to check out all the new images AND transformation videos by Yamato Toys!... [Read More]

Why is the VF4G Lightning III in demand by Macross fans you may ask? Well, for a short recap, in Japan, Macross ended up a lot different than Robotech. Claudia and Global(and the bridge bunnies) didn't die, and instead of some random SDF-3, Hikaru and Misa(known in Robotech as Rick and Lisa), embark on a ship called Megaroad-01, with Misa at the helm. Hikaru ends up with a new ride(the prototype, VF-X-4, was shown briefly in the TV series); the VF-4 Lightning III. This makes an appearance in Flashback 2012.

Interestingly enough, the official gerwalk and battroid modes of the VF-4 did not make an appearance until years later in the Macross M3 game for Dreamcast. Crazy huh? Nonetheless, the VF-4, though an elusive design, remained in demand by Macross toy fans. Being the last VF design that the original protagonist of Macross flew has that effect.

Included with the Yamato VF17S Nightmare is a teaser announcing the Yamato VF4G Lightning III! It's a web exclusive, and luckily site sponsor Hobbylink Japan tends to carry YamatoWeb exclusives. A while after Graham at MacrossWorld posted the image, he later received confirmation that the VF4 will be a toy, fully assembled and painted, not an unassembled kit(which was speculated initially). No word on price yet but we will keep you posted!

Appropriately enough, next year is 2012, and also the 30th anniversary of Macross! This 1/60 VF4 will be the very 1st transformable toy made o the VF4! Way to kick things off Yamato Toys!... [Read More]

Gamu toys has posted new images of the recently released Armor Plus Ronin Warriors Inferno Armor! This long awaited figure is a TamashiiWeb exclusive, so if you want one, get ready to pay up(unless you have friends or family in Japan who can hook you up)! This figure is a far cry from the original Takara Samurai Troopers Yoroiden/Playmates Toys Ronin Warriors release.

Included with this figure are swords and functional scabbards for the previously released Armor Plus Armor Of Wildfire. Speaking of sword holders, hmm, could Black Blaze be on the way? Check out more images after the jump!... [Read More]

The gum_5 blog has posted new images of the following Marvel Universe Greatest Battles Comic Packs
  • Gambit VS Mr Sinister
  • Adam Warlock VS Thanos
Mr Sinister is a clever retool of Marvel Universe Collossus' body. Gambit is a retooled X Men Origins Wolverine Gambit figure with a retooled head(still no ankle articulation). Adam Warlock and Thanos both feature metallic paint apps. Thanos lacks the Infinity Gauntlet, meanwhile Warlock has one. Warlock also has the swivel/hinge neck, thigh swivels, swivel legs and rocker ankles, which are becoming more common in the Marvel Universe line.

Since these sets are now appearing overseas, they may reach stateside soon. More images after the jump!... [Read More]

Here we are on the final day of 2011, some of us may be reflecting back on the year while some looking forward to 2012. During this time a lot of people begin making resolutions (or goals) for the upcoming year: Things they want to change, work on, or focus on. It's also a good time to reflect back on what we achieved this year, and how our previous resolutions (if we made any) came out.

Last year a thread created by behindthemask asked what your New Year's Toy resolutions were. Throughout the year, Toyark members talked about their collecting related goals and things they wanted to work on by the end of the year. The end of the year is here, so it's time to see how things went! If you made a goal or not, sound off in the thread and give us all an indication on how your collecting year went. Did you make any improvements or changes to your personal toy world?

This is also the time to plan ahead for 2012! We have a brand new thread where you can post up your goals and resolutions for the 2012 calendar year! Do you want to get your collection more organized? Buy less on ebay? Only buy from a certain line? Attend more conventions? Whatever your goal may be, sound off in the 2012 thread and let us all know. We can help inspire each other and grow as toy enthusiasts and collectors, and we can use this thread to keep us grounded, on track, and inspired all year long!

To report your results in last year's thread click here. For the 2012 thread where you can plan out the year to come click here or click on the DISCUSS link.... [Read More]

Hot Toys made an announcement via their Facebook page recently in regards to the Predator line of high end action figures. Apparently they have noticed such a positive response after their recent release of the Classic Predator figure, that they will be adding a new scale size to their lineup!

In addition to their 1/6th scale figures, 1/4 scale figures will be incoming of the entire Predator movie series, which includes: Predator, Predator 2, Predators, Alien vs. Predator, and Aliens vs Predator Requiem.

Also revealed was the fact that the masks and some of the body armors will be diecast on the 1/4 scale figures, and they will be making a collectible figure of Dutch (portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the original Predator movie) in 1/4th scale as well!... [Read More]

Finally rounding out the latest volley of Hot Toys news, announcements, and images is this first look at a new addition to the Iron Man line!

The new addition is actually a 2.0 version of a figure already released by Hot Toys: the Iron Man Mark I. This figure was hand painted by Korean artist, Lalla, and it is said to come with new gadgets that were not present in the first release.

If you missed out on the Mark I before, now is the time to start stashing away some money because you will finally get another chance to add one to your collection!... [Read More]

Hot Toys is at it again with more upcoming product teases and announcements. This time it comes in the form of a cryptic image titled "Robocop Project 2012".

Hot Toys first released a Robocop figure back in 2006 and there have been many years and many new figures released since then (most notably a plethora of Iron Man figures) which has given the company plenty of time to hone their craft. Lately Hot Toys has been getting into the habit of revisiting old figures and making a few tweaks or adding some additional accessories, so we can assume that a Robocop 2.0 figure will be in the works.

Not only that but going by the teaser images it would appear that they are also working on a 1/6th scale Cain figure from Robocop 2!... [Read More]

Thanks to a post on our network site TFW2005 we have learned of potential new Samurai Pizza Cats toys! Originally found on CyberGundam Blog were a pair of images showcasing a very articulated (and well sculpted) Speedy from the Samurai Pizza Cats.

Nothing more is known about these at this time, but judging by the picture, Speedy would have several interchangeable hands, a few other accessories, and possibly some sort of Dio type of backdrop (potentially made out of the packaging?). Rest assured, you will know more as soon as we do, but for now enjoy the images and let us know what you would want to see in some modern Samurai Pizza Cats toys!... [Read More]

Art Asylum has posted new images and info for their upcoming Marvel vs Capcom Minimates Wave 3.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Minimates Wave 1 is in stores now, with exclusive figures at both Toys “R” Us and comic shops/specialty stores, and Wave 2 should be arriving next month. But it’s almost time to pre-order Wave 3! As seen on Marvel.com, our next wave of MvC3 figures will hit in the Spring, and the line-up for the wave is packed with all-stars. As usual, some of the two-packs are exclusive to the specialty market, some are at Toys “R” Us, and some are shared between the two.

Comic and specialty stores get in some of the biggest names in Marvel and Capcom, as well as some of the two worlds’ toughest ladies:

- Captain America vs. Ryu (modern)
- Doctor Doom vs. Wesker
- She-Hulk vs. Chun Li (specialty exclusive)
- X-23 vs. Felicia (specialty exclusive)

Toys “R” Us will also carry two of those packs, but they’ll also get two sets all to themselves, made up of two gods and two monsters:

- Captain America vs. Ryu
- Doctor Doom vs. Wesker
- Thor vs. Amaterasu (TRU exclusive)
- MODOK vs. Akuma (TRU exclusive)

Each figure stands 2 inches tall and comes with interchangeable parts and weapons. Collect them all!

You can pre-order Wave 2 and 3 through your local comic shop or online, but you can buy Wave 1 today!

A Chinese company called InIcons is getting a bit of attention lately after they revealed images of the project they have been working on: a 1/6th scale Steve Jobs figure. The 12" collectible has a face sculpt that very closely resembles the late Apple co-founder, and the product images show the figure in a Keynote type of setting.

InIcons currently has the item listed for preorder on their site for $99.99 and have listed it coming with the following:

-One realistic head sculpt and 2 pairs of glasses.
-One highly articulated body and 3 pairs of hands
-One black turtleneck and one pair of blue jeans
-One black leather belt and one chair (wood + metal)
-One pair of black socks and sneaker
-Two apples (one with a bit)
-One piece of "One More Thing" hard backdrop


However being this is unlicensed, and being that it involves Apple, this product is unlikely to see the light of day. Mashable is already reporting that Apple is threatening to sue and sent notification to the Chinese company to cease production and sales of the unauthorized item. So if you are interested, preorder at your own risk!... [Read More]

Almost 3 years after the announcement that Diamond Select Toys had acquired the Battle Beasts license, it looks like we may finally begin to see something done with the brand. A countdown clock has recently shown up at the Diamond Select Toys website, showcasing the new Battle Beasts logo with the tagline "The Roar Rages On". The countdown clock (as of this writing) is at 98 days out putting this reveal at the beginning of April (potentially in time for the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo or C2E2 for short).

The first item released from the revitalized Battles Beasts line was a promotional Alligator Minimates Battle Beast figure with silver armor and green eyes given out at New York Toy Fair. There have been other promotional Battle Beasts Minimates released throughout 2010 (with various changed to armor, eye and claw color) but we have not seen anything released since. There was a small collection of statues that were present at San Diego Comic Con on display at the Diamond Select booth, but no more is known that that. You can go check out the countdown clock yourself by clicking here, and until April keep coming back and checking for any Battle Beasts related updates, and take part in the discussion going on in our very own forums!...

The Four Horsemen are proud to announce their upcoming show TOYPOCALYPSE 2: FUTURETRO!

Art Asylum has posted new photos of their upcoming Minimates Vehicles KITT and KARR.

The arrival time for Minimates Vehicles Series 3 is almost here, and we can hardly wait to see the first Knight Rider Minimates hanging on the pegs! Because we couldn’t wait, we took the three cars — the Toys “R” Us exclusive KITT with Michael Knight, the comic-and-specialty-shop exclusive KARR with Garthe Knight and the Previews-exclusive Super Pursuit Mode KITT with Michael — out on the streets to see what they could do. And they handled like a dream! (Our two newest Pirate Raiders pirate ships, the Vendetta and the Albion, also did pretty well.) Check out our gallery of pictures here, and look for KARR and SPM KITT to hit comic stores tomorrow, with KITT following at TRU later in the month! ... [Read More]

Over at the Matty Forums, Toyguru posted an update on the shipping delays currently being experienced as well as some additional info.

Hey folks,

Their have been a few emails flying back and forth from customer service and shipping centers regarding everything from Demo-Man to Photog to the entire 2012 MOTUC line. Let me try and clear the air and end any rumors. ;-)

Bottom line is after the issues we had with the full quota of Demo Man not arriving in time for the Dec sale, we decided to hold off on any sale until the full quota of any item arrives at Digital River. Earlier today we found out some of the product originally intended for the Jan. sale has not arrived in full.

Rather then sell a figure that will be on "backorder" until the full quota arrives, we will simply move that figure to the next sale date (i.e from Jan to Feb).

Subscribers and day of customers will still get all the 2012 figures, we just want to be sure the full quotas is available to sell. If it means a 30 day delay, that is a much better option to going through what we just dealt with on Demo Man!

We are currently confirming with logistics on which figures (if any) will be available for the Jan sale. Any fig who does not arrive in full (i.e if like Demo Man we only receive part of the quota) we will simply move that figure to the next month's sale.

I can tell you for sure their will be quite a few changes in the next 6 months. A few figures are missing their avail date (by sometimes only a few days), but this is enough to push them to the next month to ensure we have the full quota for subscribers first and day-of customers second.

We should be back on track by July, but please be prepared for a revised avail roll out for the next 6 months. A full update will be posted on Facebook in the next 24-48 hours. And again, we should be back on track by mid 2012.

I totally get this is frusterating. As a collector myself, of course we all want the figures as soon as possible. Realistically, we are only talking about a 30 day delay form the original on sale date for some 2012 figures. All of the figures will ship, they just may be in the next month's sale if the full quota does not arrive in time.

Sorry for any confusion and look for a full update ASAP. I'll monitor this thread for the rest of the afternoon if their are any other issues I can clarify!

Scott

Lego Modular sets were first introduced in 2007 with the release of the famous Cafe Corner set. Every year since then Lego has released a new Modular set in the same series, each new set being able to connect to the others to form a very nice and highly detailed street. These sets are large, heavy, have many pieces, and highlight some creative building techniques that aren't found in the standard sets that can be purchased at Target or Toys R US.

The new set for 2012 was rumored to be a Town Hall set, and now we have images of that set thanks to a post from the Eurobricks community. No solid word on price or release date yet, but this is sure to be another hit with the AFOL (Adult Fans of Lego) community!... [Read More]

Good news for us fans though, this day in January, because NECA (via their Twitter feed) has given us a look at (one can only assume as this is one in the first of many) the headsculpt, from their upcoming Friday the 13th line, for Jason Vorhees....

It's the age old debate in the collector world: open your collectibles, or keep them mint in sealed package? A recent thread has popped up, started by Toyark member quipp209 posing this same topic to our very message board. This is a great opportunity for a new Toyark Discussion Point!

So tell us, what is your preference? Do you like to keep your toys and collectibles sealed in their packaging? Do you like to keep your items unopened and mint? If so why? Is it for potential resale down the road or do you like how they look better in the packaging? Or do you get home and rip open the package and spend hours posing and playing with your new toy? Some of you may even buy 2 of any given collectible, one to open and one to keep sealed. We want to hear from all of you! Sound off in our thread and let us know where you stand and why!...
