The spring convention season is in full swing! I’m representing Powet.TV at Anime Milwaukee this year, which looks to be the biggest yet with a projected attendance of 4000 people — twice that of the 2010 iteration of this convention

There is a “Train Your Game” Famicom Dojo panel on Saturday from 3-4pm where I’ll be going over some 8-bit tips and tricks including why Pols Voice hate loud noises, and the science of the Minus World.

Until then, here’s a reminder to keep it clean!

Botcon.com has revealed the fourth figure in this year’s convention exclusive box set of Animated Stunticons. As expected, it is Wildrider. He uses the Blazing Lockdown mold with a retooled head. Unfortunately the hands aren’t fixed, but the head is pretty interesting. We also got a new view of the head thanks to the Collector Club’s facebook page. Next week, we finally get to see Motormaster!

   

Thundercats had a big presence this year at Toy Fair. Bandai had a great display of its upcoming products, so here is a brief summary.

While combing through convention photos today, The Terror Drome twitter feed noticed something a little funny. It looks like the giant Optimus Prime with trailer parked outside of Toy Fair got a parking ticket. I hope New Yorkers aren’t expecting the Autobots to come help them when the Decepticons master Teletran 3’s teleportation technology and invade Earth on Hell Day.

 

BigBangPow! post on their blog some teaser images of upcoming products. It looks to be their two display cases at Toy Fair 2011. So I guess its more of a “Here’s what we have” as opposed to “Here’s a tiny sample to whet your appetite”. Anyway, the images include products for the Twilight Zone, Lost, The Venture Bros., Dexter, Dr. Who, and various one-off figures from various movie franchises like the Big Lebowski and Flash Gordon.

I’m particularly interested in the Venture Bros. and I’m seeing a lot of new product we haven’t seen before including.

Hasbro just released the official images of the items revealed during their press event. Among them was the big announcement of a brand new Skystriker jet. Further they announced that this year’s San Diego Comic Con exclusive would be a repainted version of this jet to look like Starscream with Cobra Commander as the pilot who will carry a gun that is Megatron in gun mode. Its kind of a big deal.

I thought this image needed its own post. And it does.

Please, please, please don’t let there be another Sgt. Slaughter massacre on HasbroToyShop this year.
