We got a first look at the TakaraTomy ARTS Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trading Figures from TAG Hobby today!

tt140506These are only 5cm (2 inches) but they look pretty damn nice with some useful articulation for such a small figure. These cost 300 yen (about 3 dollars) each and will be available in May.


3A showed off some new pics and info for their redesigned Invincible Iron Man!

The Prototype (3AA only) and Stealth Iron Man are exclusive to Bambaland. As a side note, the shipping version of Stealth Iron Man will have red eyes, not blue like the images show!

Feb 13th will see the release in our ongoing MARVEL line, I’m super excited about this line! Soon we can share Doctor Doom, Ultron, Spidey, Thor and Cap and more! I grew up in Perth Australia, reading Marvel, dreaming of drawing comics for them, so to be able to make our own versions of Marvel characters here at 3A is incredible. Now If only I could make the comics based on the toys, these designs are linked in my mind, a 3A secret war if you will!


Diamond Select Toys gives us a sneak peek of their twelve inch Godzilla figural bank!

Other characters?? Hmmm….


And then there’s this…

$_57I was browsing Ebay as I’m known to do and ran across this custom Hot Toys style Dead End Joker out of Hong Kong. Amazing! I was so blown away I just had to share. Check out the auction to see the other headsculpt and pics.

Happy Hour’s over!
