--------------
NEW PREORDERS:
--------------
Below is a nice batch of new itesm from Sideshow spanning many licenses, from Star Wars to Chucky!
LORD OF THE RINGS - 12" LEGOLAS: The second figure in Sideshow's new 12" lineup will be Legolas Greenleaf. Another extremely well detailed figure with great looking weapons and a nearly perfect face mold. Preorders available now at $62.99 http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=SSC10311&mode=retail

STAR WARS 'VSD' VINYL SUPER DEFORMED: Produced by Medicom in Japan, Sideshow is distributing these in the USA, very fun figures priced at $54.99 each. Darth Vader and Stormtrooper each have oversized heads, feet, and hands - definitely a different look for them, but the figures are attractive and balanced even with the oversized appendages. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=83&category=2033
CHUCKY: There has been a Chucky drought for quite a while, but he's finally back! Sideshow brings us the standard version of Chucky for $45.99 - he stands 15" tall and brandishes a carving knife. We also have the Bride of Chucky version listed at $45.99 - this is basically the same figure other than the horrible gaping wounds on his face. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=719
SAW - 30" JIGSAW PUZZLE: A creepy release based on the recent horror
movies - this puppet is priced at $209.99 - take a look: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MED10031&mode=retail
REAL ACTION HEROES: Sideshow brings us a few more Medicom products, the RAH Wolverine and Venom figures previously available only in Japan are now up for preorder at $104.99 - more highly poseable 12" figures. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MED10032&mode=retail
= Venom http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MED10033&mode=retail
= Wolverine
REIGN OF FIRE - DRAGON MAQUETTE: Even if you didn't love the movie, this Dragon Maquette is worth a close look. The dragon is captured in an open-mouthed roar so tons of teeth are showing and everything is highly detailed, this item is fairly expensive at $329.99, but great for any big dragon fans. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=SSC10314&mode=retail
MARVEL ARCHIVE - CAPTAIN AMERICA WEAPONS SET: This will hopefully be the first of many weapons sets for all the Marvel heroes. We have this item priced at $74.99 - a very cool display of Captain America's shield and helmet along with a pedistal base. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=SSC10318&mode=retail
TERMINATOR 1:2 SCALE T800 ENDOSKELETON: If the 1:1 scale Endoskeleton from Sideshow is a bit out of the price range, here is a half sized
offering at one third the price! Sideshow's 1:2 scale version stands
about 3 feet tall and features glowing red eyes - up for preorder now at $1999.99. We also have the 1:4 scale verison in stock for $499.99 http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=SSC10320&mode=retail

ANGEL: A new Angel figure is up for preorder at $42.99 - with black leather trenchcoat and wrist action retractable stake. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=SSC10313&mode=retail
INSANELY TWISTED RABBITS: The fourth installment based on Michel Gagne's artwork is up for preorder at $54.99 - the 'Evil Grin' rabbit is much bulkier than previous rabbits. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=SSC10312&mode=retail

Prowlus2 of
Transformers @ The Moon managed to corner a Hasbro UK rep at this weeks Toyfair UK 2006, gaining some very interesting infomation, including the possible release of an Alternators Jaguar? He does stress that
'talking to this said rep is not like talking to Hasbro itself so take some bits of this interview with a pinch of salt' Here's what they had to say:
Q: Given the current figures being found in Argos, can you ask them if they plan to release the full Cybertron line in the UK?
A: We are trying the best to release the full cybertron line. With hope everything will be here within this year (sic)
Q:a) Who is responsible for semi-random releases of Transformers toys in Europe, i.e. not every toy coming out in every country around the same time (worst example: Alternators Meister and Cybertron Megatron only being released in Italy so far)? Is this a decision made by Hasbro US, or is it down to each single European Hasbro branch
A: Hasbro Europe are fully reposible for the distribution of tf toys around europe and the UK
Q: 1) Does Hasbro UK regard the Transformers line as anything important or does it view it's Star Wars licence as the only viable and profitable toy line in the way of action figures?
A: Transformers is a CORE brand with hasbro europe but it has to share its sales with action man and starwars . Right now hasbro uk have to "juggle" their product lines because of character options overtaking them last year in terms of sales
Q:3) Why does the UK have to wait so long after the US releases. Surely with the internet it would pay Hasbro to market items in the UK (and Europe) within a few months of the US releases and not a year later. This stance leads only to less sales in that country (as most people import them) and thus makes the line appear to be a worse seller that it is in reality.
A: It has always been like this unfortunately theres not much Hasbro europe/uk can do about it
Q: Cybertron aired on October 2005 , why has it taken to so long for for the accompanying toys to go through
A: Toonami was insisting airing Cybertron early as a continuation with Energon. Unfortunately Hasbro UK was still inundated with handling Energon toys . A few releases had to be posponed because of cybertron's impending debut
Q: Will there be any UK exclusive transformer toys?
A: Cannot say but Hasbro are working on their next Alternator which is Jaguar sportscar (he said that honest) after the ford GT
Q: Howabout figures such as 20th aniversery Prime ?
A: We are still undecided on releasing such a huge item
Additional : Hasbro UK didn't want to release Prowl or Skids is because, "There are not many Integras and Scions plying british roads" A bit stupid since they seem to be interested in Prime whoes a dodge RAM
Yeah the original thread
here at TF @ the Moon.
