In the same vein as the deluxe Millennium Falcon and the deluxe AT-AT, this year’s large scale Star Wars vehicle is the Republic Attack Shuttle. As part of Amazon’s Cyber Monday deals, this gigantic product is marked down from $90 to $50.
You can see the Attack Shuttle on sale here.

Testing out a new format. Let me know what you think. Also an 8th Joe figure was announced yesterday, Barrel Roll. This was a little rushed so I know its lacking in a few areas, but I like to experiment.

GI Joe 2: Retaliation will be hitting theaters on June 29, 2012 starring Channing Tatum, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Adrianne Palicki and Ray Park.

It looks like one of the Transformers designers from TakaraTomy dropped a bombshell on twitter. While showing some images of the new MP10 Optimus Prime figure, Shogo Hasui also posted a picture of a rough Masterpiece Ultra Magnus. The image shown is a very rough concept of slapping armor onto the latest version of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime mold. Obviously, this is very rough, but it sure looks like it has potential.

The Transformers Collectors’ Club revealed the first club exclusive figure for 2012; Runabout. Runabout is the partner of Runamuck, the club’s 2012 free membership exclusive. If you sign up to be a member by March 16th, 2012, you automatically get Runamuch for free as part of your membership. You also have the option to buy two other figures as a member of the club. Today’s announcement is the first of those two figures. Runabout will be put up as a preorder sometime in the Spring along with another as yet to be revealed figure.

Announcement and bio after the jump.

This is a new short form format for PowetToys. This started out as a camera test, but figured I may as well make it into a video to share. Revenge of the Fallen Brakedown can be seen after the jump!

The Tranformers Collectors Club has revealed their exclusive membership figure for 2012 and it is none other than Runamuck. Their website revealed the robot and alt modes for the figure, while the head turnaround image was posted to their twitter account. The club’s facebook page had the reveal for the actual head sample. Runamuck’s partner, Runabout, will most likely be one of the two club exclusive figures for 2012 like this year’s Animated Cheetor and G2 Ramjet.

I must say the club has guaranteed a membership renewal from me. This figure looks fantastic. I inquired further on Twitter and confirmed that the head turnaround was done by Dan Khanna. If you want this figure you will need to renew your club membership by March 16th 2012. Any renewals after that time will guarantee you the figure for 2013.

  

After the Pile O Loot video, I received a number of requests to do a review of this third party figure, Hercules Exgraver from TFC Toys. If you would like to see the transformations, please continue after the jump as that video is embedded below.
