Our Toy Addictions

After an unscheduled week off, Matt and Ron were able to get back into The Pit and chew the fat on some current MOTU news.  Eternia will live forever, and there’s a new Battle Cat on the prowl by Mondo.

This week we cover the announcement of Mattel Creations’ Eternia playset for the MOTU Origins line.  Then we talk about some changes happening in the logistics world and what it’s like to read an actual toy magazine again.

This week we talk about the Transformers and G.I. Joe Classified figures that were revealed by Hasbro this weekend during their PulseCon.  We also talk about the new Indianan Jones lines that were finally revealed by Hasbro.

This week we talk about the recent ”leak” that Hasbro is shifting the Classified line to be an online Pulse Exclusive.  Is the rumor true and will other’s follow suit?

We also talk about our dislike of the new windowless packaging by Hasbro.

This week we talk about the recent Haslab reveal, the recently revealed nominations for the Toy Hall of Fame and how much you’re willing to spend on a piece, or pieces, for your collection.
