Sometimes, getting a toddler to wear a coat can be challenging. Take my nephew for example. Tantrums. That’s exactly what I got the last time I tried to fasten his new winter coat. As for getting him to wear the hood. Forget that. Hoods ain’t his thing. Despite the rain, despite the cold wind, that […]

As dark as Attack on Titan can be at times, it does have its fair share of zany moments. Some of my favorite ones come from Hange Zoe, the overzealous Titan enthusiast. She's one of the few characters who don't fear Titans - instead her curiosity about them is a defining trait.
This Medicom RAH figure is pretty amazing, then, because it captures her excitement when she has a chance to get up close to a Titan. You can see all the normal maneuver gear stuff, plus two facial expressions. Her excited face is maybe a little creepy, but it's Zoe so I can live with it.
This is a Medicom shop exclusive (although Big In Japan can hook you up), and is up for pre-order for ¥23,600. It's set for an October release.

Recently Takara Tomy teased an image of Superion's silhouette announcing their plans for Hasbro's Transformers Generations: Combiner Wars figures. This past week they released images of the Aerialbots including Slingshot which was replaced in the Hasbro line by newcomer Alpha Bravo (though said to be appearing in store computers for release later in the year by Hasbro). All of the figures feature colors closer to that of the original G1 figures including white hands and feet for Superion (the Hasbro version's are black). Slingshot himself is a repaint of Fireflight (renamed Firefly for the new Hasbro release) with a new head. Unlike the Hasbro individual releases, the Japanese release will be sold in a single box set priced at ¥14,000 with tax (about US$119) according to e-Hobby. It'll be considerably cheaper after pre-order discounts, maybe even comparable to the Hasbro price of around US$90 together.
Meanwhile Takara Tomy has some very unexpected repaints planned for Transformers Adventure (Hasbro's 2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon series). TAV07 Roadblock is based on the G2 character of the same name and is repainted from Hasbro's Generations Scoop, but it seems he only comes with one Targetmaster partner. TAV08 Greejeeber is based on, of all things, the Car Robots character of the same name (2001 RID Rollbar), itself a repaint of G1's Combaticon Swindle. TAV09 Swoop uses the Animated mold, but is in colors vaguely similar to G2 Skyjack. TAV10 Slag is a repaint of Animated Snarl in Age of Extinction Slug toy colors. TAV11 Bloody Knock Out appears to be based directly on super obscure Generations Dead End especially in bot mode. TAV12 Dreadwing looks to use a modified paint template for Beast Hunters Dreadwing. TAV13 Nemesis Prime is a repaint of 2015 RID Optimus Prime. TAV14 Ultra Magnus is a more accurate repaint of Prime Ultra Magnus. Silhouettes have also been shown for Generations Shrapnel and Bombshell and Animated Lockdown, all likely repaints.
Even though I probably won't spend a lot of time on the simplified 2015 RID figures, some of these repaints are definitely going on my buy list.

After Defensor was revealed on the two covers of Windblade #2 this past week, we now have our very first look at Legends Class Groove, and Hot Spot himself. Taking the form of computer design models, these appear as representative examples of the style of toys that could contribute to the Fan Built Combiner in the new Transformers app. It's notable that Hot Spot's base design is vague enough to credibly be redressed as an Onslaught at a later point, as we speculated recently. Click through to check it out!
As you may have gathered from the reveal of Hot Spot and Groove, the official Transformers brand app has finally received its update, which means voting for the Fan Built Combiner has begun! So far the available polling choices include torso + weapon, limb slots, and faction. Once the physical choices are settled on, we expect more options like colors, names, and other character concepts to become available for selection. Click through to see more!
