Nendoroid Tsubasa's big head symbolizes her know-it-all-ness
I would share with you what Kristina thinks about Hanekawa, but we try to keep the language PG-ish around here. In case you don't already know, this is Nendoroid Tsubasa Hanekawa, the ever-helpful class representative from the Monogatari series.
As expected, this Nendoroid set doesn't capture the more intriguing parts of her personality and history; rather it goes for the moe aspects of her character. But, you know, that's what Nendoroids are about. Hanekawa comes with a wealth of accessories: optional glasses, cat ears, two tiny cats, an angry expression, an embarrassed expression, a cell phone, and parts for various other poses. I imagine she would play extra nice with Nendoroids Senjougahara and Kanbaru thanks to the uniforms.
Kahotan's blog has the full preview, so head on over there to see what Hanekawa's all about. She'll be up for pre-order next week!

TAG Hobby catches our first look at Action Toys' Ultimetal Megatron
Thanks to TAG Hobby spending some time at Hong Kong's C3 Festival we're getting our first look at Action Toys' and Fewture Model's UM-03 Ultimetal Megatron! There aren't any details to go by beyond the prototype, but we can make a few guesses based on UM-01 Ultimetal Optimus Prime.
The final figure should have lots of diecast parts, metallic paint, removable panels, and some lights, probably in his canon. He should also match Prime's 17 inch height and certainly his US$800 price tag as well. The sculpting is still a little rough looking, but I'm sure that like Prime they'll make constant updates at events and in hobby magazines.
Real question is what's UM-02?

Tomopop LinkUP: Remakeover
Sometimes our favorite characters are too good to fall off into obscurity over the years. Often they'll get a new outfit and and just continue their adventures like Sideshow's upcoming 1/6 scale Catwoman. Sometimes they transcend their origins and get reimagined like Plex's UMCF Samurai Gaara. And sometimes the characters get rebuilt from scratch and shoehorned into someone else's universe like with Unique Toys' Salmoore (Cy-Kill) figure. Nothing wrong with having an active imagination, but I do think there's something nice about Japans ability to let something end when it's over rather than continue it into eternity like so many American stories/characters.
Welcome to Tomopop LinkUP!
Along with the three mentioned above we also have:
- The first GIANTmicrobe of 2014
- Some undead Dunnys by JeAA
- A recreation of Miku's room from Project Mirai
Follow me after the jump wont you?

Matty Collector's March sale is maddeningly huge, starts in 48 hours
As if to make up for January, Matty Collector's March sale is pretty massive. The sale (which starts at noon EST on Monday) includes two "firsts" in form of the '90s hook-handed Aquaman (the first of the defunct Club Infinite Earth figures) and the Total Heroes Green Lantern pack (the first "deluxe" Total Heroes pack) as well as a new Masters figure and a whole bunch of returning product.
The sale notably includes the formerly Club Eternia-exclusive Fang Man, marking what I believe is the first opportunity for the rest of us (who Matty Collector has occasionally treated like C.H.U.D.s or, at best, mole men) to pick up this figure and I'll definitely be excited to do so... if he doesn't rather predictably sell out during the Early Access window.
New Adventures He-Man is also having a second go, which is great because March's new Masters figure is none other than He-Man New Adventures companion Hydron! Hydron was first shown at SDCC and, as a New Adventures fan (yes, we exist), I'm happy to see that he'll be joining the line. He'll look great posed across from Slush Head. They'll be available for US$27 each during the sale, assuming Fang Man will be available at all to normal buyers.
"Hook hand" Aquaman was one of the bizarre character shifts of the '90s, a decade which also saw Spider-Man replaced by a clone and Batman by a murderous psychopath (whereas Green Lantern Hal Jordan BECAME a murderous psychopath following a run-in with Parallax), because, well, edgy! (Oh, plus Superman "died".) While the change was somewhat goofy (and the follow-ups even goofier), it was immortalized through an appearance in one of the best comic-based cartoons of all time and a starring role in one of the worst comic-based video games of all time. Love it or hate it, we remember it. Partly because it's burned into our minds. He'll be available for US$23 during the sale.
The Total Heroes line has more or less replaced the DCU line at retail (at least in terms of shelf space, since it will never fill the space in our hearts). Although the retail configurations are ostentatiously geared towards a younger audience, Matty Collector's deluxe sets -- which feature interchangeable parts and a good number of accessories -- are aimed more at collectors. The first of these sets is a Green Lantern pack featuring the choice of three different Green Lantern heads (John Stewart, Tomar-Re, and Green Man) as well as a good number of energy constructs. The set might be twice the price of the basic figures seen at retail, but this one is well-worth it. The set will be available for US$20 during the sale, although I expect many will instead be looking forward to that Batman Beyond pack.
Also up for sale will be the ENTIRE Watchmen line-up. If you missed one or all of them, it's a pretty good opportunity to nab them (especially since you'll have saved on shipping by buying all now as opposed to buying as they came out). They'll be available for US$25 apiece. The final item is a DC Universe Red Hood (originally released last year) who will be on sale for US$20
