Weekly Want - Toy Fair 2015 Highlights!

Just. Take. The. Money.

With Toy Fair 2015 now behind us, it seems fitting to dedicate the latest Weekly Want to some of the event's coolest featured items. The fun just never ends here on Castle Geek-Skull. Let's get to it!

DC Collectibles Batman: Mask of the Phantasm 2 Pack ($32.99, Oct. 2015)

Weekly Want - Marvel & DC Play Arts, Hot Toys Thanos, & More!

The fastest batarangman in the west.

Come one, come all; it's time yet again for the Weekly Want! Spoiler alert: one of this installment's highlights actually breaks the $400 mark! Bills, schmills. Toys are clearly all that matter.

Now, let's get this wallet-destroying party started.

Hot Toys Artist Mix Avengers: Age of Ultron Assortment ($39.99-$127.99, Summer 2015)

Weekly Want - Marvel Legends Thanos, LEGO, & More!

All smug, all smiles.

Welcome once again to the Castle Geek-Skull Weekly Want, wherein several of the latest plastic-crack reveals are given a place to shine. To say that this is a big deal is an atomic bomb of an understatement. Hold on tight, because here we go!

Weekly Want June 25 - July 2, feat. Doctor Doom, Aliens, & More!

Doom will take as much of your money as he pleases!

Oh hey, it's Wednesday. That means it's time for another edition of the Weekly Want! Last week's installment focused entirely upon Transformer toys, so I'll be covering a bit more ground this time around. (Ooh, peep that sexy rhyme~) Batten down the hatches; here are the action figure and collectible promo shots that struck my fancy between June 25th and July 2nd, 2014:

aliens queen

Oh, my! This lovely lady is NECA's Aliens Xenomorph Queen "Ultra Deluxe" figure. True to its fancy pants designation, this is a 15 inch tall, 30 inch long monstrosity that will absolutely tower over the rest of your NECA Aliens collection. The hefty $90 price tag might seem like a lot to take in, but with an impressive scale, plentiful articulation, and killer sculpt work, it looks to be more than worth it! You can have the figure in-hand this November.

How Twitter Helped Me Fall in Love with Kenner Toys All Over Again

This is also the title of a new show I'm pitching.

From the Star Wars toys of the late 1970s to all-things Batman in the mid-90s, Kenner Toys produced heaps and heaps of awesome action figures that kept millions of kids (and kids-at-heart) entertained. No matter your interest, be it comic books, cartoons, sports, or even movies you probably shouldn't have been watching just yet, Kenner likely had several product lines that were right up your alley.
