The ThunderCats have made there way back into pop culture's consciousness as of late. Fueled by the new animated series, the Cats have also started infiltrating the toy aisles thanks to the folks over at Bandai. While these new figures have been more readily available online than at brick and mortar stores, we managed to snag this 6" Lion-O at our local K-Mart before the ravenous fans stripped the shelves bare like a horde of Lizardmen. Let the review commence!

Flashpoint: Batman Knight of Vengeance was far and away my personal favorite tie-in to the entire Flashpoint event. Needless to say, when DC Direct announced figures from the storyline, Bats was #1 on my want list. The figures from the line are all based on artwork from the main Flashpoint title , and they have the very obvious Andy Kubert-style to them which has worked for DC Direct in the past. Is this Batman worthy of a spot on the coveted Bat-shelf? Let's take a look!

Leech sucks. No really, that's just his "thing"! Yep, Leech is known throughout both Eternia AND Etheria for just how much he sucks. Sucks,sucks, sucks. We could type that all day! All joking aside, this latest figure from Mattel's Masters of the Universe Classics line doesn't suck at all. Let's take a closer look at K'ULL'LEUSSHHHH (yeah, that's his real name) as he attempts to ambush King Grayskull.

Marvel has managed to score yet another hit with their recent film based on Captain America.

Man-E-Faces has been a long time coming! It seems like he has been high on most fan's lists since the line's inception, and he's finally almost here! We snagged our review copy and took him outside for some nice summer sunshine. Too bad for him that Battle Armor Faker decided he was ready for a stroll as well. welcome to our review of Man-E-Faces from Mattel's Masters of the Universe Classics line of figures!

Today as we continue our look at Mattel's Batman: Legacy line of figures, we're taking a trip back to the Golden Age of comics. Yep, we're reviewing both the classic Batman AND Joker figures from the line! These figures are based on the days when Joker was the new crook in town, and Batman smiled a lot... since stopping horrific crimes always brings a grin to Bruce's face. What a weirdo! But, those were simpler times we guess. Back in the day when you'd head out with your elf shoe-sporting kid sidekick, load up on Bat-Shark Repellent, and grab a burger with Batmite. How did comics ever survive?!

Secret Six was a great comic. This was owed in no small part to writer Gail Simone and her ability to make a ragtag group of 2nd and 3rd rate villains into a compelling band of mercs-for-hire that you actually care about and root for. While we dig all of the cast, tied for our favorite (with Deadshot) is Thomas Blake, a.k.a. Catman-- the world's greatest tracker... and torturer as it turns out. Therefore, we were fairly stoked when we first saw bootleg images of his figure for Mattel's Batman: Legacy line. Now that he's torn loose from his plastic prison and in our grasp, is he as great of a toy as his comic book counterpart? Read on, you toy maniacs. Read on.

The Batman: Legacy line is Mattel's newest action figure line from their partnership with DC Comics. Consisting mostly of repaints and repurposed figures, it does manage to give fan's a larger selection of Batman toys at retail. Unlike the former Green Lantern Classics line, the Legacy line is scheduled to last far more than the first two initial waves. Today we're taking a look at Mr. Freeze, who's real name is Victor Fries. Yep, Fries. Why didn't he become a french fry related villain? That would have been a legendary move! Ah well, there's always hope in the new DCU...
