• Rob, there's this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bigwheelrally/the-high-roller-adult-size-big-wheel-trike  but that is not nearly as cool as THIS: http://hackedgadgets.com/wp-content/_that-thing-got-a-hemi-20050622043210721.jpg and both of those fall to their knees weeping in the in the blinding Natural 20-ness of THIS: http://www.brokenarrowtoys.com/store_items/1-08-09/Destro_pimpin.jpg

• I watched the first five episodes of Thundercats and while it did have its moments, Lion-O was so aggressively stupid I could not bring myself to continue watching. I'll admit it was admirable of the show runners to attempt to feature a main character who suffered from a debilitating mental handicap, but I could not abide through how the rest humored him to such an extent, and under some pretty dangerous circumstances at that.  You could reasonably argue that the show was for kids, but unless he were yellow and lived in a pineapple beneath the sea, even kids won't put up with such a blatant and dangerous moron.

• I reallllllllllllly want the Mars Attacks stuff toy! He's adorable!!

• I also think Thundercats is going to die, I mean, almost all the main characters have been presented and the whole hype died really quickly. The secondary ones like the berbils make the show look like "regular anime" (I´m just the messenger). Aaand, my guess is that the toyline didn´t sold well among kids.

•  I wasn't. I'm not Rob - no, my nerd rage is (usually) of a more tranquil kind of fury, an eerie, almost sociopathic calm. Unless you wrote a fanfic where snakes rape Jill Valentine and you reveal you know NOTHING about snakes, THEN I RAGE HARD.

•  Don't tell me these things! My money will disappear!

• I think I really need that Freeman figure. Holy...

• Adult Big Wheel FTMFW!

• i really hope they do the entire tf2 team!

• Of course.. withthe TF2 figures.. there is the glaring question.. WHERE ARE THE HATS?!? I NEED MORE HATS!! MY FIGURES NEED SOME GODDAMN HATS!!!

• That Gordon Freeman is goddamn beautiful. And I cannot wait to get my hands on everything TF2. Claptrap from Borderlands is also awesome. As for Portal, ThinkGeek has decent sized turret figures that are labeled as flashlights. That might tide you over for now.

• Hell yeah. Mordecai was my merc of choice too. Can't wait for the Claptrap figure. I hoped it would be out end of summer 2011, but it got pushed back. And I want everytjing TF 2 there. Thoguh especially everthing pyro.

• Did anyone notice any strange Frenchmen in suits and a ski mask? Or perhaps two of the same NECA employees in the same room? Or someone ealking like a crab? See. This is why you need a pyro with a flame thrower chdcking everyone.

• It is extra rge inducing as a fan of the original Young Justice comics as well as Weisman's wonderful Gargoyles. This comes across as painfully generic with unreconizable characters. Far far far below any hopes I had when I heard Weisman was doing a toon called Young Justice.

• Only made it a couple of pages in. I hate it when a web page moves a link from under the cursor, when displaying a new image. I think I'd rather build this... http://www.e2046.com/product/13683

• God I love you. I thought I was the only other one who thought this show was crap. Gargoyles is a fucking masterpiece. DCAU is the damn gold standard for super hero shows. Young Justice is a shit stain. My friend tried to convince to watch the show saying it was the best shit since apple pie. I tried watching a few but hurled in disgust and boredom. Still I was going to be a trooper and watch it all on-demand. After sitting through all the episodes I can honestly say that it was worse than my initial guy reaction. What a total waste. What they did with the Joker made me cry. The Justice League is so damned stupid compared to their DCAU counterparts. I hate you Young Justice. I hate you Miss "Mary Sue" Martian. I hate you "Author's Choice" Artimis. I hate you all! Fuck this show!

• FUCK YOU CRAPTOON NUTWORK!! Give us our goddamn Thundercats!

• Dude - I liked your comment for two reasons. 1) I don't really like Young Justice myself. It just seems a bit bland (only watched a few episodes). 2) I read the entire comment you posted, picturing you frothing at the mouth with impotent nerd rage. Angry at not only the people who like Young Justice, but raging over the mere fact of it's existence as well.  Take a moment to clean the spittle off your screen. (I'm sure you weren't raging that hard, but it amuses to me to think you were ;p)

• There's plenty of pics of him on the interwebs for those who are interested though.

• No. <em>No.</em> <strong>NO.</strong> Young Justice is Greg Weisman's fall from grace - just as Ben 10 Alien Force heralded the late Dwayne MacDuffie's fall from great writer into sheer suckitude, Young Justice does the same for Weisman. Gone are the likeable, well-developed characters of Gargoyles and Spectacular Spider-Man - even his run on W.I.T.C.H. had characters with personalities that didn't make me want to punch my television set in anger. Aqualad is a dull, standardized leader who is an attempt at another Jaime Reyes or Ryan Choi, minus the actual PERSONALITY those two had that made them so endearing. Superboy is eerily similar to Superboy-Prime in his rage and angstiness, making it almost impossible to take him seriously. Miss Martian is a character who squanders her potential with an irritating catchphrase and often handling the Idiot Ball when her powers could be far, far more useful. Kid Flash and Robin are decent, but that's because they're the only ones who are actually fun - and even then, they're both kinda dickish. Dishonorable mention, however, goes to Artemis - a pouty, shrill she-devil who makes Asuka Langley Soryu seem well-mannered and kind-hearted, she is a vastly inferior replacement for Arrowette. And, worst of all, - Superman. They took the nicest, most good-hearted DC Superhero around - and made him into a WORSE deadbeat dad than even Superman Returns did. Unless there's some Red Kryptonite making him act like this, he's basically the Superdickery version of the character made canon - minus any of the humor. Gone are villains who are willing to modify their plans when things go wrong, like Xanatos - here, the Light have had everything go according to their unknown plan, playing heavy hitters like Black Adam, Bane (who, rather irritatingly, cannot break free when he's tied to a tree with a normal rope. That's right, Bane, who could just bulk up on Venom to free himself, CANNOT BREAK A FUCKING ROPE.), and the freaking Joker as pawns, along with the Ultra-Humanite, who definitely should have gotten a spot on their roster along with Deathstroke - I shudder to see how this show will mishandle him in an attempt to distance itself from Teen Titans. Instead one of the "masterminds" (who only can be called that because everyone else in the show, heroes and villains alike, are morons) Klarion the Witch Boy, who - even in this show - is a petulant brat with powers, not a great planner. Speaking of the Joker, one cannot help but pine for what might have been - Phil Bourassa already had a perfectly good Joker design for Under the Red Hood, but that design was replaced with a design that has an absolutely horrible hairdo, and is in personality a rip-off of Ledger's Joker - Minus, of course, any of Ledger's talents for being terrifying. And not only that, but Weisman's fanboyism of Star Trek: The Next Generation led to the casting of Brent Spiner - best known as Data - as the Joker, and he fits the role about as well as Casey Kasem would fit Optimus Prime. Which is not well. At all. Gone is the well-handled relationships - here, the romance between Superboy and Miss Martian is as awkward as Anakin and Padme's, and as shoehorned in as Gwen and Kevin's. But that's a lesser complaint in a series already mired in mediocrity and good ideas gone to waste. Oh, well. At least Phil Bourassa's character designs are good, and the animation is spectacular. Otherwise, Young Justice is a failure on every front - it pales in comparison to the DCAU, to Teen Titans, and to The Brave and the Bold. Even The Batman and the oft-forgotten Legion of Superheroes cartoon are superior. Young Justice is easily the worst DC animated series since the Superfriends, and it lacks any of Superfriends' campy charm. It is a lesson that even greats like Greg Weisman, who has had an almost-spotless track record so far, can fall - and fall <strong>hard</strong>.

• *sigh*  The thundercats reboot was one of the greatest if not THE greatest cartoon reboots ever done, and Cartoon Network is just going to let it OH MY GOD do you see the detail on those borderlands figures!?! EDIT: I see no siren figure for the first wave. Why is there no siren figure for the first wave!?!

• OK, Why the hell hasn't Rob Mentioned his favorite scantily clad furry underpants wearing Toyline yet? I wanna hear Rob Bitch and Moan about MOTU!! 

• I'm not seeing an Engineer there. Why am I not seeing an Engineer there? GET VALVE AND NECA ON THE PHONE RIGHT NOW AND GET ME MY DAMN ENGINEER!

• http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=291&itemid=18267 Three episodes, not four.  My bad.

• FIRE!!! FireFireFireFireFireFireFireFireFire!!! I want AAAALL the Team Fortress 2 figures!

•  wait... you DONT like YJ? That show has been the shining example of what good animated entertainment should be since Batman: The Animated Series went off the air. I'm big into Rex, Clone Wars, Ben 10 and Thundercats too. Granted, The Last Airbender is in it's own class of shows, but Young Justice tops anything on Cartoon Network right now (mind you, I don't include Adult Swim shows in that assessment).

• Can I get a confirmation of that? It sounds a bit off to me, so I want some evidence.

• You were Kif AND had a Big Wheel! Awesome. What's Zapp Brannigan really like?

• Yeah, Rob already reported on that: http://www.toplessrobot.com/2012/02/portal_guns_for_sale_get_your_portal_guns.php

• Yeah, Rob already reported on that: http://www.toplessrobot.com/2012/02/portal_guns_for_sale_get_your_portal_guns.php

• Dr. Freeman looks pretty. 

• Yeah, his head went missing. There's a press shot of the complete figure, though.

• I looking foward to buying a whole set of TF2 figures. They look great. 

• Another bad sign is that Cartoon Network ended season 1 of Thundercats... when there were still four episodes done (they'll be on the DVD).

• Wasn't The Hub going to air Big Wheels: The Show?

• You want Portal figures? How about a full-sized Portal Gun? http://i.imgur.com/YhJUX.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1ICRM.jpg http://i.imgur.com/JT62Q.jpg http://i.imgur.com/mZLKz.jpg

• There may be no Portal toys, but NECA IS giving us a 1:1 scale Portal gun. With blue/orange lights!

• Well, Ben 10 Omniverse looks decent, at least compared to the shittiness of Ultimate Alien and Alien Force. Derrick Wyatt and Susan Blu being involved is always a good sign. Generator Rex is also good, and so's Clone Wars, but if the biggest action cartoon on CN that isn't Clone Wars is gonna be Young Justice... Ugh. Just the thought of that makes my eye twitch.

• I f***ing want - No, no, I f***ing NEED that Pyro plush & that Claptrap action figure. Also, it goes without saying that I want a full set of TF2 action figures down the road. And a Mordecai figure, so I can place him & a hopeful Sniper action figure on opposite ends of the room, hunting each other. Or just teaming up to snag some relatively giant cans of Dr. Pepper. Whatever works.

• i don't have too much hope myself :/

• Fun Fact: The Demoman figure was there as well, but someone stole it before it could be photographed better.

• Man, if the new Thundercats dies quicker than 2002 He-Man, I will be really, REALLY pissed off.

• Mars Attacks cards are 50 this year, Topps is making a big merchandise push
