Playmates reveals new and greatest TMNT figures ever
I got a pretty fun surprise no more than a day ago when I hopped on my Twitter and found someone mentioning that some new Ninja Turtles action figures were on the way. At first I assumed this either meant some new customs or something of the like, but oh no! My eyes were treated to the sight of four brand new Turtles based off the original 1987 cartoon but released to get interest going for the upcoming Nickelodeon reboot this Fall, and amazingly, these are the downright best Ninja Turtles figures ever.
What makes them so great is the stupid amount of detail ("stupid" being a good thing here), along with the incredible articulation for each figure. How does 30 points of articulation sound? It's sounds pretty damned great! Each Turtle has dual-jointed knees and elbows, a ball-jointed torso (making it the first TMNT figure to my knowledge), and even individually articulated fingers. Fingers! Perfect for holding weapons that also look jaw-droppingly perfect. I mean, Michelangelo's nunchuku are even connected via actual chains. And the belts all have loops to hold the weapons when not in use! Someone up there really loves me!
I just couldn't be happier. I want these now and if I'm lucky, I can absolutely afford them. Have I stressed enough that if these come out exactly how they're shown here, these will unquestionably be the best TMNT figures ever released? True story! No word on a release date yet, but Playmates will be showing these off at Toy Fair, so stay tuned Turtle fans! Who else is pumped?

A Little Bit On The Watchmen Side: After months of rumors and...
A Little Bit On The Watchmen Side: After months of rumors and leaks, DC Comics officially announced the Before Watchmen series of prequels. There will be eight titles that include Rorschach, Comedian, Minutemen, Silk Spectre, Doctor Manhattan, Nite Owl, Ozymandias, and Before Watchmen: Epilogue. Here’s hoping that they’ll be more like the X-Men: First Class prequel rather than the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

Disney Store shares a new doll for Rapunzel's Wedding
I was pleasantly surprised upon seeing Beauty and the Beast 3D that they also showed Tangled Ever After, an adorable new short showing the wedding of Rapunzel and Eugene. Now to celebrate the union of the two, the Disney Store will be releasing a limited edition doll showing Rapunzel in her wedding attire.
In the fashion of the Disney Princess Designer Collection Dolls, she will be released in an edition of 8,000 pieces worldwide, and online, on March 28th. Though this time around, it appears they'll be having different pre-order dates around the world. As listed on the Disney Store Facebook, along with the first look images, the North America pre-sale date is February 21st. Be sure to keep an eye out on their page to see when the rest of the dates will be, and keep your fingers crossed that there aren't any problems this time when it comes time to order.
