Tomopop Review: Funko's Pop! Teen Titans Go! Raven
Like many long-running titles, the Teen Titans have undergone some significant revamps over the years. Beginning as a "Junior Justice League" consisting of superhero sidekicks, the title was revamped as The All-New Teen Titans during the 1980s when Raven brought the group together to fight her father, Trigon the Terrible (why's he terrible? Because he doesn't keep up with child support payments). The occasionally controversial mature-themed series would be reinvented as the more kid-friendly Teen Titans cartoon in the early 2000s and subsequently receive its own, more kid-friendly comic (which amusing led children who grew up with that version to be a little shell-shocked by their real comic counterparts).
DC Entertainment brought the Teen Titans back to TV last year with Teen Titans Go!, a more comical series that lampoons both the previous cartoon as well as The All-New Teen Titans comics. The series brought back many of the voice actors and has been successful enough to earn a second season although the series (like its predecessor) isn't necessarily without its critics.
However, you don't have to enjoy the new series to like Funko's Pop! Television Teen Titans Go! figures since the general style of these figures matches the previous cartoon as well. Today we'll be taking a look at my favorite Teen Titan, the ever-snarky Raven.
Full review after the jump.

It's finally time to talk about Playmates' figures for the upcoming TMNT movie
Many images of Playmates' figures for Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film have stealthy made their way across the internet in recent months, either avoiding (or outright ignoring) cease & desist take-down notices from either Bay's powerful Hollywood lawyers or Playmates' own legal representation. However, now that the trailers are out, it seems like the "Iron Lawyer Curtain" is beginning to fall since an increasing number of sites are keeping their stories up which makes this a great time to discuss the figures that we couldn't really talk about before now.
Michael Bay, of course, was previously known for butchering the Transformers franchise with a slew of awful films where each movie somehow managed to raise fans' hopes into believing it might be good only to massively disappoint once again. As such, the news that he'd giving the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -- another venerable childhood cartoon -- the same treatment was met with, well, let's say understandable apprehension (or we could go with disdain, disgust, anger, etc).
More after the jump.

Generations Rattrap New In Hand Images
Thanks to ebay seller lena81822 we have our first good look at Generations Rattrap in production plastics and paint. Sadly the guns are still colorless clear for unknown reasons, but otherwise the figure is looking quite nice! The presence of several of this figure means production is underway, so even though it was delayed along with Tankor, it's still on its way! See all the pictures below.

Why Pre-Ordering Sucks
The 2013 W Club members who pre-ordered the final club doll, Eugenia "A Touch of Frost," received their bill today. I made my deposit on 12/8/2013. That is a full five months ago! Who even remembered? To IT's credit, they did state up front that delivery would be late spring 2014.

I have sold off all but three of my Eugenia dolls. I'm hoping that this one is as good as the promo. One good thing about her is that she's on an FR2 body already so I won't need to go a-hunting.
She does have a hair bump which has been cause for concern in the past depending upon the factory employee at the time of the styling. My fingers are crossed for good luck!
