Today I took a trip out to Toys R Us on the off chance the sporadic reports of the 6" Black Series Hover Tank Pilot showing up may be true of my Toys R Us (Preston). Sadly, there was no sign of the Black Series exclusive - but there were some new goodies to talk about
First up was the 13 Doctor set from Character Options, a brand new release in their 5" Doctor Who range. The set regurgitates figures for all 13 Doctors but with some significant paint job changes. The on shelf price is £99.99 and online stocks at Toys R Us have already sold out - although this will include those who will buy this to split down and sell for a profit on eBay or similar.
There was then these funky new 5" limited POA Guardians of the Galaxy figures hidden down an aisle at £9.99 each. This smaller, more basic, scale is the same as they are already putting out for Spiderman and are based on the animated shows rather than the movies. The figures are bright and bold and are cheap enough to bring something different to a Marvel collection. It is worth mentioning that Groot looks small, but is packed with his legs seperate and once assembled he will be suitablaly taller vs the other Guardians.
