Indiana Jones, Reissue Valkyries at Big Bad Toy Store

Big Bad Toy Store

April 1, 2008 - (Sponsor Announcement) - Online retailer BigBadToyStore.com has several new items of interest to collectors:

--------------
NEW PREORDERS:
--------------

INDIANA JONES - FULL HASBRO LINEUP: We've just added over 40 new Indiana Jones preorders to the site. New items include: 12" Action Figures, Deluxe 3.75" Figures, Basic 3.75" Figures - Wave 2, Mr. Potatohead Idaho Jones, 3.75" Vehicles, Adventure Heroes waves 2 & 3, Indy's Sound FX Whip, Mighty Muggs, and Titanium Vehicles. We have images of some of the new items posted now, and more images will be posted later today or tomorrow. Hasbro is doing a nice job of mixing in figures from the first 3 movies, as well as covering the upcoming 4th installment.

BANDAI MACROSS - REISSUE VALKYRIES: Its been quite a while since Bandai has released any Macross Valkyries, but the wait comes to an end with the 25th Anniversary releases of the VF-1S Roy and VF-1J Hikaru. Each figure is up for preorder at the competitive price of $89.99, these are retailing at about 8000 yen in Japan.

STAR TREK PROP REPLICAS: Two cool new Master Replicas prop replicas are now up for preorder - the Assault Phaser and Science Tricorder are each limited to only 2000 pieces, and they are priced roughly 10% below MSRP at $409.99 and $319.99 respectively. M.R. has done a nice job with these

TRANSFORMERS BINALTECH: Takara rolls out two more new figures - the BT-21 Arcee and BT-22 Convoy have each been listed at $59.99. Arcee uses the Honda S2000 mold with a hard top, and Convoy uses the Dodge Ram SRT-10 mold, but may feature a new color scheme. The offer we received shows a crazy bright green color, we are unsure what the final color will be. The BT-16 Skids figure is up for preorder at $74.99, and will be arriving in the next week or two. We have confirmed that this is authentic Takara stock, and not a knockoff.

TRANSFORMERS BUSTS: We've just listed the exclusive Prowl, Smokescreen, and Bluestreak busts at $54.99, $69.99, and $69.99 respectively. Smokescreen & Bluestreak are limited to only 250 pieces each, so a great addition to any collection.

DRAGONBALL - MEDICOM REAL ACTION HEROES: We had previously listed the RAH Goku figure, we are now able to bring you the mail-away / coupon exclusive - Super Saiya Jin Goku at $174.99. The regular version is priced at $159.99. Both have been extremely popular so be sure to get your
preorders in

SOUL OF CHOGOKIN - GX-42 KOTETSUSHIN JEEG: This one may be a mouthful to pronounce, but it should be an easy choice to add to your Chogokin collection. It appears to come with several alternate arms, and we have it priced very competitively at only $99.99 - take a look at the initial
images

IRON MAN 1/4 SCALE HELMS: Sideshow will be producing very cool small scale Mark I and Mark III versions of the Iron Man Helm. These are great substitutes if the 1:1 scale version won't fit on your desk, or into your budget. They are priced at only $37.99

HOT TOYS MILITARY - AIRMEN SECURITY: Another cool figure based on gear currently used in Iraq, the Security Force figure contains more accessories than you'll know what to do with. Preorders have been listed at $109.99 and the figure arrives in June

STAR WARS JEDICON - GERMAN EXCLUSIVE: A pair of very cool Shadow Troopers are now up for preorder at $27.99. They come packaged in the tube / canister style packaging, and were originally released at the Jedicon convention in Germany.

MACHINE ROBO MUGENBINE: Many customers enjoyed the Mugenpharoah combining gestault figure, we now have a second combiner up for preorder - the Mugen Gokenju also looks very cool and boxes of 10 blind-boxed figures are up for preorder at $49.99

SAINT SEIYA - MYTH CLOTH: Preorders have been opened for Mizar Syd, the Zeta Star as well as the Siren Scale and Gold Libra figures. Check out the full selection of Myth Cloth items

SIDESHOW - PREMIUM FORMAT GALADRIEL: With hope for The Hobbit being produced in the future, and the very low production runs of other LotR Premium Format pieces, this might be a tough one to find in the future, so be sure to get your orders in now - Preorders listed at $259.99

NECA - BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT: Neca has just announced a variety of accessories and collectibles for The Dark Knight. We've listed their full lineup including: Pennants, Wall Scrolls, Keychains, Clocks, Puzzles, Headknockers & more

THE SMURFS: Jakks Pacific will be producing a variety of items in honor of the 50th Anniversary of The Smurfs. The first items we'll be carrying are 12" plush versions of Papa Smurf, Smurfette, and regular Smurf. Each is priced at only $13.99 - quite a fair price for a decent sized plush.

TERMINATOR 2 - PLASMA RIFLE: Hollywood Collectibles will be releasing a 1:2 scale replica of the devastating Plasma Rifle. We have these listed $30 below MSRP at $149.99
