I know for a fact that an FF Spider-man (based on an entirely new mold that includes ankle rocker joints) is in the pipeline.
So Prowl: What extra characters should show up in a highly theoretical Power Pack Superhero Squad set? Snark, Whitey, Frank, and...Friday? Maraud? Maybe Boogeyman? I dunno.
Well, I don't think they'd go past a 6-pack, especially for a low-interest team like this one, but if they threw Frank and a Snark or Whitey in there, that would be good. I'm honestly kinda shocked that there's never been a Marvel Legends or Marvel Universe-scale Franklin Richards. Honestly, I'd probably even grab a 'casual clothes' version of that kid.

Masterforce. If Shout releases a DVD of that one over here, I will allow myself to bear their genetically engineered superchildren.
Anyway, I was at Target and saw that they had the regular, non-mega-armored-whatever versions of some of the Samurai Power Rangers on the pegs, and after months of just shaking my head at what seemed like an epically bad business decision on Bandai's part, I decided that the least I could do was reward good behavior, so I snagged the character I know only slightly better as ShinkenRed. I figure I'll get around to watching Shinkenger one of these days, and I'll probably want some toys based on it, so I can head some of that off at the pass this way. At least the mold on this Ranger is slimmed down compared to the more hulked-out guys from the MMPR2010 line. He compensates for that though with his ridiculously hilariously huge gun/sword thing, and his regular hilariously huge cell phone/morpher, which is just silly enough to already be my favorite accessory. You also gotta love a toy of a Samurai character who can barely hold his sword with both hands. Okay, so maybe this isn't rewarding 'good behavior' so much as 'slightly less bad behavior'. ShinkenGold looks cool though, might grab him if I see him. Also, if the 'instructions' included with this thing are to be believed, they snuck a Rita Repulsa into this line. Well holy shit, I have to track that thing down!
I've been buying a lot of one-off toys from lines don't really collect lately (Plague Doctor, Scarlet Spider, Caboose, and now ShinkenRed). I can only blame the lack of new TF toys I want. Really hoping Darksteel's wave hits soon. Though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little tempted by Ultimate Optimus Prime.
