Added to my toy hunt list. Amplify’d from www.dccomics.com It's a madhouse … and the lunatics are running the asylum! After arriving on Arkham Island, Batman is greeted by Warden Sharp and security personnel. Although The Joker is securely strapped to a handcart for transfer to the deepest bowels of Arkham, he escapes nonetheless. This is going to be the worst night of Batman's life. With The Joker free, inciting unrest among the inmates, Batman faces a riot from a cadre of Gotham City's most wanted: killers and psychopaths who are screaming for vengeance and out for blood.

Reposting my Stikfas tribute to the Barbarian in Diablo II. Enjoy! ( Pix are clickable for bigger versions)    

I so cannot wait for this game... Diablo 2 is the only game my wife and I both play...and that's a good thing... my setup will definitely get upgraded -- as in hardcore upgraded -- once this bad boy is on retail:) Amplify’d from www.g4tv.com Diablo III PvP Hands-On Preview Back at BlizzCon 2010, there were plenty of happenings going on that filled up the days: Cataclysm wasn't far away, Diablo 3 had some major announcements, and even Starcraft 2 stole some of the show with their new and upcoming game mods. We ate everything up like a ravenous glutton, but even a glutton can inhale so much that they miss something. Sadly, by the time the dust settled, we had managed to miss playing the brief PvP demo that Blizzard had set up for Diablo III as most of our time in Diablo 3 was chewed up with the Demon Hunter. Luckily, we ventured down to the hallowed halls of Blizzard Entertainment recently to fix that oversight. Read more at www.g4tv.com   S

Lookee, lookee! Amplify’d from comics.ign.com Captain America and Thor Movie Figures How do the two Avengers look in toy form? Hasbro has been hard at work on two of the biggest movies of the year -- or on the toys based on those movies anyway. And IGN got the chance to preview those toys today at Toy Fair 2011. We're, of course, talking about Captain America and Thor . Interestingly, while the Thor line looks to include most of the supporting cast of the film (even an Anthony Hopkins Odin!), the Cap line mixes in characters from the comics and seems to, so far anyway, only feature the Star Spangled Avenger from the movie. Where's Bucky? And any other character from the film, for that matter? Read more at comics.ign.com   See this Amp at http://amplify.com/u/aq64i

I'm still rounding up my ROC and POC G.I. Joe collection and along comes another line...I think I'll pass on the repaints and hunt down the new sculpts instead. The new Duke looks good but But I'm not digging Snakes Eyes. Yeah, right. Let's see if I'll pass when I have the goods in front of me:) Amplify’d from comics.ign.com G.I. Joe: Renegades Toys Hasbro kicks off Toy Fair 2011 with a Real American Hero. Toy Fair has returned to New York City once again, with Hasbro offering up its fourth annual pre-show presentation of its G.I. Joe, Star Wars, Transformers and Marvel lines. All the geek stuff, basically. Let's start off with a look at the Joe line... The company's plans for 2011 include a re-launch of the 12" "A Real American Hero" figures as well as re-imagined takes on the familiar 3.75" figures and vehicles, but perhaps of most interest to fans are the toys based on the new G.I. Joe Renegades animated series. Check out some select

Mattel's The Dark Knight Batman Stealth Launch Batmobile! This version is based on the vehicles that appeared in the Dark Knight film by Christopher Nolan.  The toy is actually two bat vehicles in one. With a press of a button, the Tumbler ( the batmobile's new a.k.a.)  breaks open from battle damage and shoots out the Bat-Pod wheelie action cycle which includes an attached 5" Batman figure.
