Every child of the ’80s remembers the evil Skeletor from the Masters of the Universe cartoon. He caused no end of trouble for He-Man and now there’s a nearly life-sized version of the villain, molded and sculpted based on the original action figure. All he needs now is a life-sized He-Man to battle.

No one likes hanging out and waiting for a train, but these guys are managing to have some fun while they wait. It was all part of Japanese toy line Tomy Tec’s effort to make their newly released train station benches a little more interesting. Yes, it’s about the benches, not the figures, but that makes these shots no less entertaining.

Hasbro brought their A-game to Toy Fair over the weekend and showed off the first wave of the 6″ Star Wars Black series. When we first learned of the new toy line almost two weeks ago, we just saw a sneak peek of a Luke as an X-wing pilot figure. Figures of Darth Maul, R2-D2, and a Sandtrooper will join in the first release this fall – they all look amazing. Like, the rest of my action figures are going to suffer from feelings of inadequacy. From Hasbro’s press release:
This exceptional collection of figures features incredibly accurate design and a high level of articulation. Each sold separately.
These larger scale figures will be priced at $19.99. If they’re not for you, Hasbro will also be releasing 3.75″ figures in the Black series including Biggs, Yavin ceremony Luke, Geonosis arena Padmé, and more. My collection is definitely going to expand this year.
Check out the rest of the line up after the break.
As you probably know by now, Axe Cop the animated series is almost here. After finally getting a release date a couple of weeks ago, it’s only to be expected that action figures come next. And come they did, as Mezco has obtained the rights to churn out the action figures for the franchise.
The webcomic is amazing, the animated series looks like it’s going to be a huge success, so of course the action figures should be pretty amazing as well. You can check out the rest after the break.

The latest Iron Man Hot Toys figure is the Mark XLII and it’s the first in their new Power Pose Series (PPS). The PPS figures will all be designed to emulate the agressive poses and stances that Iron Man takes in Iron Man 3. It’s semi-articulated with flying and battle poses and it can make waist and neck twist actions very close to what you’ll see in the film. It also has LED light-up functions and a figure stand with a Mark XLII Stark Industries nameplate. Expect to see this available in Q2 to coincide with the movie release.

This My Little Pony/Gundam mash-up is the work of deviantArtist shepherd0821 who has officially invented an animated series that I want to see happen immediately. I’m particularly fond of Pinkie Gundam who comes with a Party Canon that has a flower-covered magazine. Also, the wings on Flutter Gundam are so pretty they’d likely mesmerize enemies who would then be easy pickings.
