What's Your Sign? Warriors of the Zodiac Series 1
   
From Spawn.com: You may believe that the 12 signs of the Zodiac are astrological representations defining a person's characteristics based on their date of birth. How naïve. 2008 is the Year of the Zodiac. Spanning the year, 12 Warriors of the Zodiac will be released by McFarlane Toys. And the back-story of the figures is colossal. Earth is under attack from alien forces wreaking chaos and destruction on a massive scale. Armies are forming. Is it random, or it could be part of something much, much larger? Today, we bring you photos of Series 1 of the Warriors of the Zodiac, arriving in stores May 2008. Series 1 includes: ARIES, TAURUS, GEMINI and CANCER. |

Jazz Next for Transformers Line!
 From DST: The latest Transformers bust is another classic G1 fan-favorite – none other than the Autobot's resident “cultural attache” – Jazz! Exclusively available through Big Bad Toy Store, this limited Transformers bust stands six inches tall. Jazz was among the original compliment of Autobots attached to Optimus Prime. One of his more noteworthy moments came from his part in the ambitious stunt in which the Autobots ambushed and replaced the Stunticons. In Transformers: The Movie, Jazz was partnered with Cliffjumper and assigned to Moonbase One. In the wake of the Autobot City assault, Unicron Attacked Moonbase One, and Jazz sent a distress signal to the remaining Autobots via Blaster. Both Jazz and Cliffjumper were drawn into Unicron's gravitational pull, and were remanded to but luckily rescued from Unicron's digestional smelting cauldron. This talented robot's familiarity with Earth culture saved the day on more than one occasion, proving that humans and Transformers could work together to achieve almost any goal! Sculpted by Art Asylum and limited to 600 pieces. Pre-order this bust from Big Bad Toy Store today! |
