From PJ Constable comes a couple of customs he's listed up for sale on his online shop, releasing August 7th @ 10:00pm GMT.

"One of them is my mini munny custom which I entered into the Munnyworld competition - he got an honorable mention. The other is my cave ape android, originally a commission but the buyer informed me that he was selling his collection as he is moving country so I worked something out to hold onto it. They will both release at the same time." ~mentioned PJ - and note that Wednesday also happens to his birthday too!

It would be way too easy for me to mention: "and yet another Iron Man edition to be released from Hot Toys…" - but the reality is, nobody ever stated a finite end to the releases from Iron Man, so expect more to continue - if not forward, but also imagine a re-visit to all three Marvel movies, and as well all other appearances in other Marvel movies.

That said, are you ready for this 1/6th scale Midas (Mark XXI) Collectible Figure from Hot Toys?

PRESS: "The 1/6th scale Midas (Mark XXI) Collectible Figure features multitude layers and shades of metallic gold color painted by Hot Toys’ Korean Chief Painter & Production Director JC. Hong and Painting Specialist Woong Young Lee giving the collectible figure a brilliant finish with unrivaled aesthetics and quality."

[View more still images on my dedicated Facebook album]

Midas (Mark XXI) is a Summer Exclusive item, and will be first made available to purchase at Hot Toys’ Annual Exhibition in Taiwan (August 10–18) - limited to 800 sets.

Midas will then be available at the Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention on August 31 and September 1 via Action City - also limited to 800 sets. Additional releases include Toy Sapiens in Tokyo (September 14–23), and Ani-Com & Games Guangzhou (ACG GZ) in China (October 1–5). no prices are revealed for Midas as yet, so do check in with your fav retailers for further info. Me, I'm just wondering why there is a "running pose" for Iron Man lol

Toys R Us has clarified its earlier December prediction for the PS4's release date. Last week we reported on the fact that retailer Toys R Us had stated that the PS4 release date would be as late as 13 December 2013 . The retailer even suggested that the Xbox One would be launching on 29 November 2013. It seems that, despite previous statements that suggested this information was correct and had ...

This to me is likened to a "fan-service" category of the DTAs. It rewards folks who have the ability to afford and amass a quantity leading up to their collection, to which scores of folks might gag after … aaaaahhhh I am just a bitter old fart who wants to have collections like these folks when I grows up! MUAHAHAHAAAA

As far as I am concerned, tis not about the amount of toys you have, but how you treat them, with swell display shelvings! LOL

The BEST COLLECTION is a Public Voted Category, and you can go make your decisions known here on designertoyawards.com! Voting ends September 1st, 2013.

Why are so many retailers - and customers - stubbornly clinging to the notion that that young boys and girls should stick to their own, heavily stereotyped toys? Guest post by Andrew Holding. I'll admit I'm one of those people who enjoy to write a letter of complaint, usually more for the excuse of an inclusion of a bad pun than due to any offence occurred.

The play industries—traditional toys and games, video games, digital, and theme parks—have often been seen as four separate industries with little crossover in competition. After all, theme parks aren’t taking over any of the traditional games’ retail shelf space, right? Not quite. This compartmentalized view of these industries could actually stop industry players from realizing [...]
