These are definitely a couple posts that are ramping up to Kidrobot release of the Heroes of Burgertown mini-figures this week. Or, it’s just that Jon Burgerman is consistently and prolifically newsworthy.

Wow. This is freaking awesome. Whatever your proclivity toward ponies, you really have to just admire this mashup between a Hasbro My Little Pony and a Star Wars Stormtrooper.

The big boys are ready to play. Toy powerhouse Hasbro is hoping to take a big old bite out of the designer toy market with their upcoming line of tasty Blank DYI customizable toys. Their Mighty Muggs platform (that has been used for Star Wars, Marvel and Indiana Jones figures) will surely be contender in [...]

I swear you might as well call Comic Con “Attack of My Childhood” with all the 80’s themed exclusives there. We’ve mentioned the Greyskull and Transformer stuff, but my Saturday morning flashback doesn’t end there. Next up is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles black and White set from NECA. It’s an [...]
