Super Hero Squad at Toy Fair

February 13th, 2010 Comments Off Posted in Super Hero Squad

First off Here’s the Super Hero Squad press photos. You’ll see that most of the press photos are stuff that’s already been released, but finally, a good shot of the Spider-Splasher and Claw Cruiser and of course, the full-sized Helicarrier.

There’s also some new merchandise developments, such as a new Super Hero Squad set featuring molds to shape the Play-Doh, and another of the re-labled Spider-Man and Friends Play-Doh Stampers was paired along with a Wave 1 Iron Man stamper (akin to the way Galactic Heroes stampers feature figures on the lids), and the next few Iron Man Super Hero Squad figures (although unfortunately, there was an issue with getting pictures so you’ll have to wait until one of the other sites can get some posted.

Edit: and don’t forget the SDCC 2010 three pack featuring the Mayor, Iron Man and Doctor Doom in his bathrobe, holding a cup of coffee (from the video game artwork!)

Galactic Heroes AT-AT in 2010

February 4th, 2010 Comments Off Posted in Galactic Heroes

JesseVader pointed out that the Galactic Heroes AT-AT has been confirmed for 2010! Now it looks like we need to come up with some more questions for the Hasbro Star Wars Q&A… it’s a tough situation but hopefully you Galactic Heroes fans can help with that dilemma.

From Jedi News

1) The Galactic Heroes AT-AT has been solicited and shown by Hasbro several times over the last few years, including the UK and Canadian Toy Fair last year. When will this awesome product see the light of day (it seems like 2010 would be a great time to tie in with the 30th Anniversary of Empire)?

The Galactic Heroes AT-AT finally will be coming out to retail this Fall, scheduled for availability around August 1st. It’s a really nifty vehicle that is a perfect addition to the cute world of Galactic Heroes.

James – “We saw the final product at the UK Toy Fair and it does indeed look awesome and has some great features too – you’re going to have to wait till the US Toy Fair, in 10 days time, to find out more though… Also, for those in the UK wondering – it WILL be coming here!”

Super Hero Squad Doom’s Castle and X-Men Danger Room

January 6th, 2010 Comments Off Posted in Super Hero Squad

Hasbro’s released some press shots of the recently released Super Hero Squad Battle for Doom’s Castle and the final version of the X-Men Danger Room playset. Eagle eyed readers will, of course, be able to count the differences between the original Danger Room press photo, and the new press photo. Of course, conversation is always welcome over on the Rumor Buster message board.

Transformers: Good News/Bad News

January 6th, 2010 Comments Off Posted in Hasbro, Hasbro Heroes, Robot Heroes

First, the bad news… it looks like Robot Heroes may have joined Adventure Heroes, M-Pire and Toy Box Heroes in the Hasbro Heroes graveyard. Normanb258 shared this over on the message board but apparently Parry Game Preserve asked a very delicate question regarding Robot Heroes, and got a sad answer:

Preserve: Do you plan to continue the Robot Heroes line beyond the current movie figures?

Hasbro: We do not have any plans to continue with this expression of Transformers past the ROTF line.

So now you want good news? Hasbro has released pictures of some upcoming Transformers figures and we’ve got them over in the Transformers Gallery. One warning for those that don’t collect the line, Rampage may make you want to start. Here’s the rundown:

  • Scout Brakedown
  • Scout Sonar
  • Scout Wideload
  • Voyager Bludgeon
  • Voyager Recon Ironhide
  • Human Alliance Mudflap with Agent Simmons
  • Powerbots Sideswipe
  • Deluxe Rampage
  • Deluxe Evac
  • Galactic Heroes Shadow Squadron Y-wing and Assault On Ryloth Photos

    Rebelscum.com has pictures of the new Galactic Heroes sets Shadow Squadron Y-Wing and Assault on Ryloth.

    On an unrelated note, our webhost was migrating servers today, so for a chunk of time we were unavailable. Sorry for the inconvenience, but fingers crossed, it should mean faster and more efficient future internetting! As always, head over to the Rumor Buster message board to discuss.
