In an effort to do more around here, I’m going to start posting any cool customs I see on the net, and once in a while, put up some stuff I have in my files, which is pretty expansive (200+ MBs in size).

So I’ll start off with Freestyle’s Deluxe Primus. Hit the links for the full gallery.

ACtoys has posted some pics of proto which is presumed to be Ravage. If you look closely at the underside picture, you can see his head and some paws, which probably means he’s going to be a Jaguar car that transforms into a jaguar. Follow the link for the thread or click on our mirrored pics here.

This is the second episode of Powet Toys. Today I am sharing with you Transformers Cybertron QuickMix.

Big Barda, Martian Manhunter, and Deadshot, from the new wave of JLU figures
There are tiny figures of female characters all over this line. Supergirl literally looks like a small girl compared to the giganticly manly Superman. Stargirl wasn’t that big to begin with so being short is expected in the toy.
But not Barda. Barda should be a head taller than J’onn J’onzz instead of barely meeting his oversized green torso.
This is not that Barda lovingly honored by novelist Michael Chabon. This looks like a child in a Barda outfit.

Oh well. The rest of the wave has some pretty good figures, including Vigilante, Sinestro, and an appropriately sized Huntress.

Target will get a 6 pack with an exclusive Doomsday figure in additon to another Batman, Superman, and Wonderwoman. I’m as big a beleiver in the Trinity as anyone, but let them rest, Mattel.

NBC10 in Providence followed a fortunate young lad named Austin who got to go to toy maker Hasbro’s Headquarters in Pawtucket, RI. He gets to gives his opinion on forthcoming toys, do some product testing and even chat with Transformers Guru Aaron Archer!
Austin is currently up for adoption, and I’d take him in a second if he promises to share his haul.

Behind the toys has posted a gallery of the upcoming Classics Megatron which mostly shows off how it transforms. Get a good look at this figure here!

He-man.org has posted a number of VERY tentative release dates for upcoming NECA He-Man products.
