After feeling the heat brought on by the civil rights organization Project Islamic Hope's and Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network, the Weinstein Co has asked NECA to discontinue their line of action figures based on Quentin Tarantino's feature film Django Unchained. Since the initial shipments are already sold out, the move has turned this into one heck of a hot property on the secondary market. We're curious what you think on this topic, and will keep the comments open as long as the conversation sticks to the toys.

TRU's Battle Beasts listings are live yet unavailable
Toys "R" Us has finally added listings for the first wave of Diamond Select Toys' Battle Beasts to its website but, at this aggravating moment, they're currently listed as not being available for order (or pre-order?).
Diamond Select Toys' Battle Beasts line (the origins of which you can read about here) has been a massively exciting property and it feels like I've been waiting forever for it to actually launch. As previously mentioned, Toys "R" Us is getting an exclusive configuration which features repaints for the characters (with a more metallic deco in most cases) as well as two store exclusive characters (Antalor the Moose and Nychirix the Bat).
The 2-packs are listed as being US$7.50 each on Toys "R" Us website, but the price may vary at your local retailer (in my case, the local store is usually two bucks higher). Even though they're currently not available for order, this at least means we can sign up to be noticed when more arrive.

Video Review Fansproject Function X-1 C.O.D.E. Toys For Tots Drive Action Figure
__scaled_100.jpg)
The surprise figure for the Toys For Tots drive by Fansproject and several retailers is none other than an awesome homage to Chromedome. The Headmaster gimmick was never my cup of tea, and the posability is a little off for unknown reasons, but otherwise this is overall a good toy for the price. Watch the video review for Fansproject Function X-1 C.O.D.E. Toys For Tots Drive action figure below.

Good Golly, It's Steiff's Early Dolly!
This bundle of love is actually called a "throw doll." The doll itself is 30 cm tall, shaped like a bottle or vase, and is entirely made from felt. She is arm jointed only. Her face has the traditional center seam; small blue and black pupil eyes, and a touch of color on her lips. Her hands are simply constructed but you can still see her fingers. Her dress, which is integral to her body, is red, has short sleeves, and a red bonnet. The dress is decorated with cream colored embroidery along the edges and the word "bebe"across the front. She has little flat black shoes on her base, which you can see on the picture below. When she was new, she had a little ruffle on her bonnet, a white tie under her chin, and a "Mama" tilt style working voice.
Steiffgal hopes this discussion on Steiff's unusual early baby dolls has been a delightful playdate for you.

Toys really R us! How games reflect British culture
In simpler times, children were happy to receive the gift of a hula hoop or, if they were really lucky, a painting-by-numbers set. Plastic packaging was a novelty in Fifties Britain, rather than something to be cast aside. The last six decades have seen toys – and how we play with them – transformed, echoing radical shifts in the ways that we live and relate to each other.
