Official Adventure Time toys

I was a little worried after seeing the first photograph of official Adventure Time toys, but these look much better. No details on the plush, but as to the figures, "Expect to see them in Toys “R” Us by the end of September (at the latest). The 10-inch Finn - with a face that changes expressions and a backpack you can actually store stuff in - is worth the price of admission alone."

Yes, more toy photos from SDCC

And in other Marvel toy news, there will be new Marvel Legends figures. "Wave 1 will be: Klaw (classic look), Hope Summers, Constrictor, Steve Rogers as the Super Soldier, Iron Man (one of his classic armors), what looks to be the new movie version of Ghost Rider, the Comic Con Thor and the Build-a-figure is Terrax." (That is a remarkably undesirable lineup.)

Japanese Transformers Happy Meal Toys

Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Happy Meal toys, imported and available for preorder at the BBTS.

Link roundup

1. You didn't really buy that nonsense about how great the yakuza was for keeping order in Japan after the tsunami right? The nuclear power plants failed probably in no small part because they were dominated by the yakuza.

2. The latest incredibly raw personal story from Penelope Trunk - - the heart of the post is a really good message - - if you want a happy relationship, you have to be brave enough to tell you partner what's really bothering you.

3. The BBTS has new Marvel Universe preorders - -sets feature Tony Stark, Iceman, Absorbing Man, Astonishing Wolverine, Magneto, Ultron, Darkhawk, Sub-Mariner, X-23, Steve Rogers, and the Guardians of the Galaxy I posted earlier today.
