This year's Toys for Tots drive is nearing its end and the program is still in great need of donations. WFTV's Jorge Estevez met one woman whose family is on the list for toys. She said she is grateful for the program. The toys that have been collected through the Toys for Tots program will go from donation boxes to families like the Ducots of Poinciana. "It is all about them, to try and make ...

New BATMAN-THEMED CARS From MATCHBOX and HOT WHEELS
Speaking of Batmobiles... Also at Target. It looks like Mattel has re-released their HOT WHEELS BATMAN: DARK KNIGHT Movie 5-Pack that comes with a Bat-Copter ( weird, NOT in the film ), The Joker Hot Rod Car ( Also, NOT in the film, ha ha ), a Black Tumbler Batmobile, Gotham City Police Car, and a GCPD Bank Truck. I gotta say that I totally love that Jokermobile, very cool! Also, I was at Target a few days ago and they had a TON of these so they should be semi-easy to find. ( Thanks Paul for sending the great pics! ).

How Much Does the Batmobile Cost?
Over at the DISCOVERY CHANNEL Website one of their Bloggers, a Reporter named Alice Truong, wrote an excellent article titled, " How Much Does the Batmobile Cost?". She explains that there is a website where a bunch of Students got together and researched every "Comic Book Batmobile" reference they could find & then averaged out the price.
To enjoy the article, CLICK HERE.
Oh, by the way, that photo up above has nothing to do with the Discovery Channel, their article or research. It's just a Humor Photo I found of some guy's Custom Riding Lawn Mover, ha ha!

Cu-Poche Saber wants to join your collection
Kotobukiya's Cu-Poche Saber is now available for pre-order. This hotly heroine of Fate/stay night will be among the first characters to grace Kotobukiya's Cu-Poche line.
As previously mentioned, Saber comes with two versions of Excalibur (normal and a clear "invisible" one), an attack that clips onto the sword, Excalibur's sheath (Avalon), alternate hands, and a stand. Apparently she gets three faces (cool, angry, & smiling) rather than just two. Additionally, as one of readers noticed, the figure will have magnets in her feet and in the base of the stand. Cheating much, Kotobukiya?
While the magnets just add more awesome to this figure, I'm a little leery of Saber's balance since we aren't seeing the figure posed conventionally. Yes, there's some footwork going on there and all but we can't tell how much of that is owed to the magnets. Otherwise, Cu-Poche Saber is still a gorgeous figure.
For all you armored girl afficionados, Kotobukiya's Cu-Poche Saber has a list price of ¥3,800 and is scheduled for a June release. However, I want you to remember if you feel an attraction it could just be the magnets.

FREEing's Kuroko bunny hops to pre-order
Hey look, it's FREEing's 1/4-scale Kuroko Shirai! Kuroko is of course everyone's favorite sister-complex Judgment member from A Certain Scientific Railgun and A Certain Magical Index. Unlike many 1/4 scale figures that I see, this one isn't terrible. I'm not big on the sexy look for middle schoolers, but to be fair that is definitely an outfit Kuroko would wear.
If having a Kuroko the size of a human baby is something you want to spend money on, the pre-orders are up now. The asking price is ¥17,905 so you'd better be pretty sure you want one. She'll ship in May 2013.
