MasterCollector has announced the first 2006 GI Joe Collector’s Club 3 3/4″ Exclusive figure set. This set will be among four quarterly sets for the year. The theme for the 2006 sets is Operation: Flaming M.O.T.H., based on 2 episodes from the cartoon series. The story involves the hijacking of a hi-tech satellite originally meant to be used as a weapon in the fight against Cobra. Each of the exclusive sets this year will feature a different part of the world due to the satellite’s incredible range.

This first set features the ‘Jungle Theater’ with the Jungle Night Viper and the Jungle Frag Viper. To view the pictures follow the link to the MasterCollector website. To continue reading the synopsis of Operation: Flaming M.O.T.H. click below and read on.

Sony Pictures has posted some teaser art on their Spiderman website.

That site can be viewed here.

Trailer hit the web today.
Most of my dismay for this movie is based completely on behind the scenes snooping from spies of questionable accuracy of authority. Regardless, the trailer for the movie looks really good, and I hope the movie is good too. Still, I can’t wrap my head around certain characters changes or dying altogether. If this is “The Last Stand” then I guess its ok….

I am a casual Avengers fan and have never read any of the Ultimate books yet. I watched this movie going in with no expectations other than who most of the characters would be.

Saw some scans of New Super Mario Bros from 4chan’s video game board, so I “borrowed” the pictures…

The game looks awesome as hell and I can’t wait to play a new Mario game that wasnt made by a fan.

For those who are avid collectors of the Marvel Legends line of action figures from Toy Biz, it should be known that there was a production error in the early batches released to stores. The error pertains to the Maestro figure (future version of the Hulk). Maestro comes with one of Apocalypse’s arms, however in the early batches he is missing the tube connecting the back of his arm to his lower back. So when purchasing Maestro make sure you see the tube coiled up in the packaging before taking it to the register.

If you already have one of these Maestro figures missing the tube, you can either return it and get the correct one or you can call Toy Biz Customer Service at 1-800-728-2018. I was told it would take 4-6 weeks to arrive, but it came in 2 weeks.

The Toy Biz site itself has a note on this here.

It has been brought to our attention that the bonus piece that comes with Maestro Hulk is missing. The missing piece is a tube that connects Apocalypse’s left arm to his torso. If you have recently purchased a Maestro Hulk and are missing this tube, please contact our Customer Service department at 1-800-728-2018 for replacement. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers to Toy Biz for addressing the matter in such an accommodating way.

Another fantastic rap video from SNL, this time starring Natalie Portman.

Instant classic.

I really wanted one of these, until I saw it.

I’ve never been huge on GI Joe, and the new Sigma 6 line doesn’t irk me like a lot of hard core 12″ or 3 3/4″ fans.  I figured I’d wait until I saw the new Cobra Commander figure and buy it, like I’ve done with the last few lines.

Since I don’t make it into the toy aisles as much as I’d like, and still hadn’t seen him, I just did a search on Hasbro’s official toy show.

Wow.  What a dog turd. Oddly enough, if they gave him a new head, colored him yellow and called the toy Serpentor, I’d be all over it.  I’m funny that way.
