TOY TIDBITS
By admin | September 6, 2010
Hasbro’s got a new soldier in town and he’s not a member of G.I. Joe. The toy company’s reached an agreement with the Singapore-based Stikfas Private Limited to market, manufacture and globally distribute STIKFAS action figures. These kick-ass little figures are actually like model kits that you put together and easily customize. Hasbro will launch the STIKFAS brand at the Wizard World Chicago convention . The first action figure kit – the ALPHA MALE MILITARY – includes 44 interchangeable parts that snap together to form one bad-ass 3-inch figure. Look for the green and tan military figures to follow soon after, along with all-new Stikfas themes.
Move over, bearded ladies. The Trekkies are a’ coming. Yep, Sideshow Toy recently announced that it has snagged the license to put out some killer collectible polystone busts based on the STAR TREK line, including film and television. With licenses to the TWILIGHT ZONE and OUTER LIMITS already in effect, Sideshow’s quickly proving it can handle the final frontier.
Toynami’s going cartoon crazy this year! The uber-popular HERCULOIDS are getting the full plastic treatment this fall/winter in a number of box sets. What? You don’t remember who the Herculoids are?!? Geez. Okay, listen up: King Zandor, his wife Tara and their son Dorno fight to defend their planet with the help of the amazing Herculoids: the mighty dragon Zok; Tundro, a rhinoceros-type creature with a cannon-like horn that makes the coolest sound; Igoo, the big smashing rock monster; and the blobby shapeshifters Gloop and Gleep. See, we’re fun and educational! And following the release of this family’s figures, look for BIRDMAN, DYNOMUTT and THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN!
