Weekly Want - Generations Thundercracker, LEGO Star Wars, & More!

Dolla dolla bill.

Ahoy there! Last time on the Weekly Want, we took a look at Sideshow Premium Format Deadpool, Masterpiece Star Saber, and several other fun upcoming toys. Now, let's move on to some of this week's newly revealed wallet fodder!

Sideshow Collectibles' Premium Format Batgirl figure is now available for Pre-Order. Shipping in July of 2015, this is a wonderfully sculpted piece that will make for a great display. As with all of Sideshow's items, the hefty $400 price tag can be taken care of via smaller monthly installments.

Transformers Omega Supreme Year of the Snake Exclusive (Platinum Edition) Revealed

It was discovered some time ago that Takara Tomy's upcoming Year of the Snake exclusive Transformer would be a redeco of Energon Omega Supreme. At Hasbro's New York Comic Con 2012 Transformers Panel - that very toy has been revealed for all to see!

Although many fans snickered at the first mention of this toy - most are now eagerly anticipating its release. The toy has been retooled with a new claw-hand and head much more reminiscent of the original G1 character. The new red/silver/gold/yellow color scheme ties it altogether, giving us what is essentially a completely bad-ass Classics Omega Supreme!

Along with the Year of the Snake release from Takara Tomy, Omega will also be released by Hasbro exclusively through Amazon and Big Bad Toy Store in 2013 as a Transformers Generations: Platinum Edition figure. Rad!

Transformers Prime Predaking Official Beast Mode Reveal

In the last day or so of New York Comic Con 2012 coverage, images of the upcoming Transformers Prime voyager class Predaking toy have been floating around the interwebs, and up top on this silly, silly blog post you can see Hasbro's first official photograph of that very toy.

Glorious, no? I especially dig the outrageously Halloween-appropriate color scheme. We're going to need to see TF: Prime Dead End riding this bad boy - stat!

It's been a while since we've had a cool dragon alt mode for a Transformer, so this new take on "Predaking" is very welcome. Predaking is part of Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters and is set for release in 2013.

S.H. Figuarts Tyranno Ranger revealed at NYCC

From the Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA Facebook coverage of New York Comic Con we have this great look at the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Tyranno Ranger from ZyuRanger - also widely known as the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers' Red Ranger!

The Tyranno Ranger is set for release in 2013 - surprise surprise, the 20th anniversary of MMPR! This figure is certainly a big deal, as it's a wonderful nod to the show that helped open up innumerable fans to the world of Super Sentai and tokusatsu in the first place.

Whether or not you're an avid collector of S.H. Figuarts or a follower of current Sentai goings-on - with this upcoming Tyranno Ranger, a tip of the hat is all too warranted. Sometimes you just have to stop and say "...cool."
