INDIANA JONES - HASBRO 2008: Hasbro just sent over information about its first wave of Indy figures slated to release in early May. So far they have sent over info about the 3.75" figures and their Adventure Heroes figures (which are similar to the Galactic Heroes & Superhero Squad). The first case of 3.75" figures contains 8 different characters, we have preorders listed for both the set and full cases. We have a few images from Comic-Con - this is going to be an awesome line

TRANSFORMERS REVOLTECH - STARSCREAM & RODIMUS: News of these figures just came in and preorders have been listed at $24.99 each. We don't have any good images yet, but expect these to be similar to the Prime and Megatron already released - ultra poseability and nice detail

ALIEN VS PREDATOR REQUIEM - MOVIE MASTERPIECE: Hot Toys continues their awesome selection of 1/6 Scale movie figures with three new entries. These are all coming from a domestic distributor, so the prices are quite fair. The Alien Warrior is $124.99, Predator is $139.99, and PredAlien is $169.99 - all look very cool
