I finally scored a Spider-Man Legends Infinite Boomerang on Amazon tonight. My first swap from the line. That means I only have to find Spider-Girl and of course, Black Widow from the Cap line. Toxin isn’t a priority so he’ll be the first I find out in the wild. Watch. That’s how it always happens. Unless me saying that reverses it and I find a Black Widow next time I’m out. It’s funny how many superstitions I have about toys and hunting. Like, if I make a custom an official one will be announced at the next show, therefore why go through the trouble of making it? Own worst enemy. It’s Happy Hour!

I really dig the powered up bracers. And after the gas spent driving around looking for the Legends figure it probably would have been cheaper to preorder this. Which you can do on Sideshow’s site.
Entertainment Earth sent along a press release for Bif Bing Pow’s new line of retro Twilight Zone figures!
LOS ANGELES, CA (March 12, 2014) – World-renowned manufacturer Bif Bang Pow! announced a creative partnership with ZICA Toys in conjunction with David Lee, makers of high-quality retro-style toys and action figures, to produce a line of The Twilight Zone 3 3/4-inch retro action figures scheduled to ship in the Fall of 2014.
The collection will focus on some of the most iconic characters from The Twilight Zone series-including William Shatner’s nervous airline passenger Bob Wilson and the Gremlin that wants him to crash, both from the terrifying episode “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”; the sly alien Kanamit from “To Serve Man”; the Invader from Agnes Moorehead’s “The Invaders” episode; Burgess Meredith’s avid reader Henry Bemis from “Time Enough at Last”; and Talky Tina, the doll that spells doom for Telly Savalas in the “Living Doll” episode. These 3 3/4-inch retro action figures will be produced in classic black-and-white, matching Bif Bang Pow!’s popular 8-inch line of Twilight Zone figures, accompanied by an extremely limited edition color series.
“We’re excited for our Twilight Zone action figures to be the first Bif Bang Pow! property to ‘enter another dimension’ in 3 3/4-inch scale,” said Jason Labowitz, President of Bif Bang Pow!. “It’s been great to work with a notable company like ZICA Toys to create these action figures for avid fans and collectors of the celebrated TV series.”
“ZICA Toys is very excited to be working with Bif Bang Pow! on their new lines of retro 3 3/4-inch scale action figures,” said Craig Owen, Owner of ZICA Toys LLC. ” They’ve got some really great properties planned for this format, and I’m looking forward to helping them make some very cool stuff!”
I’m still not quite sure how I feel about all these retro figures. They are cool, I’ll admit. Mostly for the nostalgia factor as I’m old enough to remember the olden days of these types of toys. And it’s hard to ignore the wide range of properties that are being made. But these are just not my cup of tea even though it’s going to be hard to pass on a select few. Like Henry Bemis. I think I’d keep them carded though, that just adds to the warm fuzzies.
Two Burgess Meredith figures in my toy room, who’d ever thunk it.

and if you can’t make it to the event, please keep an eye at our Facebook page, where we will be posting teasers and photos too!
Looks like a new Transformers: Age of Extinction poster has popped up!
Still not sure how I feel about Marky Mark and the Autobot Bunch, but you guys know me. I’m willing to try anything once. Or three times if it’s a trilogy. At least I like Wahlberg more than Shia.
And then there’s this…
Yup, that’s Adrian Pasdar from Heroes as Glenn Talbot, set to appear in an upcoming episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Y’know, Talbot, the douche from the first Hulk movie. I’m hoping this version is less comic book villain caricature and more focused military hardass. But that mustache is screaming otherwise.
Happy Hour’s over!
