When the Bomberman Catch the Dots toys ship in March of 2007, Tomy will have missed Bomberman's 20th Anniversary by 2 years. Still, the delayed toy homage is better late than never since lesser known games have already made it to the Dots league. Measuring 7.5cm tall and part of the miniature Dots series, two Bomberman kits are on offer - one for creating the recognizable helmeted Bomber and another for creating bonus pick-ups such as expanded blast radius and quickness. Preorders are welcome.
Nicholas Cage is Johnny Blaze when the Ghost Rider movie bows on February 16, 2007. To tie into the cinematic debut, Medicom has announced a Real Action Heroes figure which features the flaming Ghost Rider who is, as the comic book declares, the Spirit of Vengeance. Ghost Rider wears leather duds with chains hanging haphazardly over him and sports spikes which are mounted on his shoulders, wrists, and boots. Taller than most other Real Action Heroes figures, GR measures 32cm or 12.59" tall and the leather should be authentic and not pleather nor vinyl.
Pricing is set at JPY16800 or US$155 from NCS. Preorders are scheduled to ship on or around March 29, 2007.
