We’re still working out this week’s schedule with me in Florida. I had to leave in a bit of a hurry, so instead of a second review from me, we’re going to shuffle things around and post the Review Round-Up today. Ideally, I’ll get back in time to have a review up on Friday!
This Review Round-Up sees an explosion of MOTU & DC reviews, particularly Snake Face and the new 52 Wonder Woman. A few of the new Marvel Legends reviews are starting to trickle in while the Joe Reviews were dominated by the Nocturnal Fire Convention Set (geez, guys, rub it in why don’t ya!). We’ve also got more than a few great looks at Dutch from the Predator line, strangely all Jungle Patrol. I feel like I’m the only guy to buy the other Dutch. Did you guys not see the cigar? I couldn’t pass that up… Finally, my favorite “out there” review goes to Toyriffic’s look at the 90s Playmates Dick Tracy Villains. I loved that line as a kid and I’m still hella bitter about never getting a Blank figure. I need to pony up that cash for that Holy Grail someday.
This round-up covers the last half of April 2013 and includes 157 links reviews from twenty-seven different sites! Reviews are categorized by major brands, independent releases such as Onell or Spy Monkey are listed under the same “7th Market” heading we use for our own reviews, and smaller brands are grouped together under Miscellaneous. As always, offsite reviews do not necessarily reflect the views of IAT or its staff.
Do you know of (or run) a toy site that you think I’d enjoy? Let me know!
don’t worry Noisy in my Dutch review on Monday I talk about how much I love the cigar
Noisy, thanks for including my reviews! You really do all of a great service with these and I appreciate not only that you think enough of my work to share it BUT also that you direct me to reviews I may have missed. (My bank account, though, hates you for showing me neat stuff.)
Thanks again for keeping up with this list. It certainly is fun analyzing the trends of what gets reviewed.
And regarding Jungle Extraction Dutch, he is by far the best Dutch, not only because he has the cigar, but he also has his “stick around” machete!
Great selection of fun reviews, some for stuff I’ve never even heard of before!
And thanks again for including Creature Cantina!
nice collection, but some of these sites need to use some proofreaders.
on the bright side, I think I can officially cross nu52 WW off my Want list. I’ve only chanced across her twice, and both times were at higher prices than DCUC and ML. Once was at TRU, which I understand, but at WM? NO.
I’ve actually been selling a lot of unopened extras on ebay lately, and now I’m at the point of wondering whether to sell off almost everything else and be done with it. Piles of fodder for customs I never got to and now barely have the patience to try without my hands (etc) cramping up worse than they already do. Then again, some of what I’m posting doesn’t even get looked at. :/
Thanks again for adding my reviews – glad you liked my look at those Tracy figures! And thanks too for all you do linking all these reviews in one spot!
man I still gotta repost this…been sleeping
