Transformers Adventure & RID Bumblebee And Ninja Sideswipe Video Review
With a much better paint job and clearer instructions, Takara's take on the One-Step figures are really good. it's a tough choice between the Adventure version and Hasbro's Night-Ops version of Bumblebee since both decos are fantastic. Ninja Sideswipe looks good but the "Butterfly" transforming style is getting a bit old at this point.

New Jem & The Holograms release: Anthony Julian
Integrity Toys just started their "Dolls of Summer"week event: starting yesterday, they are releasing new doll information, first to the W Club members and, after a day or two, to the general public. Monday was the day that saw a new doll for the Jem and The Holograms line: Anthony Julian, the director of Jem's video-clips. Henceforth, the Integrity Jem line will be "referred to as "The Legacy Collection", to separate it from the Jem movie merchandise coming later this year (does this mean Integrity is not releasing any such merchandise? We'll see). The new doll is an IT Direct exclusive, with a priority time to pre-order set for members of the W Club (at $125 and one doll per membership limit) and then the remaining dolls will be available to the general public for retail price, on.Sunday, June 28th at noon Eastern.
Item # 14066
Anthony Julian™
Dressed Fashion Figure
The JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS™ Collection
Limited Edition Size of 500 Dolls
Estimated Ship Date: Late Fall 2015
Retail Price: $130.00 US + Shipping and Handling.
Doll Tech Specs:
Body Type: FR Homme
Head Sculpt: Anthony (New Head Sculpt! First Time Appearance!)
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: A-Tone
Hair Color: Black
Eyelashes: No
Anthony Julian is a fully articulated vinyl figure with sleek rooted curly and flocked hair. He comes dressed in one of his key looks from the hit 80's animated TV series. His layered outfit has the 80s vibe that characterises the series, with his turtleneck, v-neck knit sweater and plaid pants, topped by his signature royal blue driver coat. His accessories include a watch, a plastic bullhorn and movie clap board (cardboard). For adult collectors ages 15 and up. Figure cannot stand alone; stand included.
I think this is the first time I was really tempted to buy a Jem line doll. The new sculpt is very handsome, I love even his 80s outfit and he'd stand nicely with all my FR Homme guys. Unfortunately I'll pass due to budgetary restraints and hope to find him at a normal price some other time.
