Customizer Spotlight: Peakob1
Customizer Peakob1 shows off his latest custom figures, as part of his vision of what a 40th Anniversary line should look like from Hasbro. Head on over to the forums to check it all out!

Rumor Report: 4 “New” 3.75″ Black Series Figures
Stop. Rumor Time. We’ve received a tad bit of intel regarding a future (not necessarily the next) wave of 3.75″ Black Series figures coming to Walmart next year.

If you need him, act fast as quantities appear to be limited.
