RhymeSquare's BearAll lives up to its name
If you like bears and hate pants, then RhymeSquare's BearAll resin figures might be to your liking. The little 2-inch figures, cast by Tru:Tek from Man-E-Toys, will be getting a new variant this week, the chocolate brown Grizzly edition. True to their name, they bear all, but more so in a humorous way than a crude one.
Grizzly BearAll will go on sale Friday, Feb. 22, at noon GMT (7 a.m. Eastern, 4 a.m. Pacific) for £14 at RhymeSquare's shop. The previous Polar BearAlls reportedly sold quick, according to RhymeSquare, so you may want to set your alarm clocks appropriately if you want one.

Disney Store to get its own line of Duffy Bear toys
Duffy the Disney Bear's popularity continues to grow as his influence begins to stretch outside the Disney Parks and into retail stores. Both physical Disney Stores and the Disney Store Online are carrying the famous bear in sizes you aren't going to find at Disneyland or Disney World. Duffy can now be found as a 8, 12, 24, and 36 inch tall plush (costing US$10, US$20, US$40, and US$100 respectively) as well as part of a set with Mickey, where the two are both wearing the same sailor outfits found in their picture book from the Parks. The Mickey and Duffy combo can be found as either a 17 inch tall plush, costing US$30, or 25 inch tall plush, costing US$60.
All of the Duffy plushes are currently available. Plush fans have little excuse for not owning one of these high quality plushes now. What do you think of these new releases?

Before Claire Redfield, Elza Walker Was Resident Evil 2’s...
Before Claire Redfield, Elza Walker Was Resident Evil 2’s Female Star
Prior to the Resident Evil 2 that we all know and love, Capcom had all but finished a completely different version of the game before scrapping it and starting over. That unfinished version has come to be known as Resident Evil 1.5.
Not much is known about Elza Walker aside from the facts that she likes motorcycles and attended Raccoon City University (sidenoted: Raccoon City University should totally be the next game in the RE franchise). Just like Claire Redfied, Elza’s support character was Sherry, but she also had another support character: Robert Kendo - the owner of the gun shop at the very beginning of RE2!
Taking a look at the concept art above, it’s easy to see how Elza’s design slowly changed into Claire Redfield. It even looks like they just reskinned her character model for the final game.
Check 10 minutes of footage from Resident Evil 1.5 below. Watching it feels like witnessing something from the alternate universe in Fringe.
While the police station looks completely different, it looks like most of the Umbrella lab stuff made it to the final version of the game. I wonder what happened to those zombie gorillas and mutant spider men though.
Yesterday Kotaku reported on a group of fans who somehow obtained the game’s code and are working on a playable build which you can check out a video of below.
With all the hype around HD re-releases, there could actually be a market for unreleased beta games like this. I can honestly say I’d pay around $40 for a copy of RE 1.5 that I could play on my PS3 or Vita, and there’s plenty of fans out there who would say the same. I just wonder if it would even be worth the effort for Capcom to polish the game off for digital retail.
Think about it, Capcom. Think about it.

New 2013 JUSTICE LEAGUE Can-tivities Collectible Treat Tins by FUNKO
The recent 2013 TOY FAIR just keeps popping-up a lot of fun cool surprises! Here's a great example, the Toy Company FUNKO has plans to bring out a bunch of new Batman Toys, Figures, Wacky Wobblers, etc... for 2013 and now we get some pics of a whole new product called "Can-tivities".
Basically, they're small tin tubes in the shape of cartoon characters that you can store fun stuff in. Here are some prototype pics of their JUSTICE LEAGUE SET they have plans to release later ( no exact date known right now ).
The Company is being super hush-hush about it but we did get news that their IRONMAN 3 MOVIE Tins will be released in March and they have also shown us what comes inside those tins, sort of a "school supply" kind of thing ( see pic down below ). The JLA ones say they are more of a "treat thing" so maybe they'll be candy. Hmm, stay tuned to the Bat-Blog and once we know more, you know more.

New 2013 LEGO DC Superheroes BATMAN Board Game!
A new friend to the Bat-Blog, a guy named Dave Campbell, was nice enough to share some fun photos he took at the recent 2013 TOY FAIR. While there he got these great pics of a brand-new BATMAN toy that will be made by LEGO TOYS. It's a DC Superheroes BATMAN Board Game!!
Basically, it's a Board Game made from Lego Pieces that, I guess, you build it as the game progresses?? I totally love the cool graphics on the box lid. It also comes with a ton of tiny little figures of Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, Joker, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, and the Riddler!
Whoops, almost forgot to mention. This game will have a retail price of about $29.99 and will be released in August 2013. Also, they plan on having TV Commercials for this thing starting in July.
