Stores are stocking more merchandise, and we're stocking more reviews, including some that you may not want to read about at school or at work - everything's getting risque! But first, some breaking news:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/cgi-bin\/forums\/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=2;t=2061\">KB Toys is closing all locations and liquidating their stock<\/a>. That news showed up right as we were prepping the OEU, so you get to hear it first. Head out to the stores!\n<li>Our first review this week may just look like a caveman, but there's more lurking beneath the surface. Literally. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/artemis\/pf_briana.php\">Undressing a Barbie<\/a> was never like this.\n<li>We were going to hold this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/gij25trakker.php\">Joe Friday<\/a> review back until Old Toys Month, but that's not until February and you deserved to hear about it now.\n<li>Would you like to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/?p=1541\">join the GI Joe team<\/a>? How about Cobra? Or even the Oktober Guard? Well now you can.\n<li>Last week we reviewed four Star Wars figures - being <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/swesl.php\">gluttons for punishment<\/a>, this week we reviewed three.\n<li>Since the weather is getting cold (in any hemisphere that matters), you may be thinking about buying some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/artemis\/pf_syndee.php\">winter sports equipment<\/a>. If you need a trainer, maybe she can help.\n<li>We kicked off a new series this week, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/mlt_spiral.php\">Marvel Legends Monday<\/a>. And to start it, what may be the most poseable ML figure to date.\n<li>Poe reviewed a figure that will really <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/poe\/dcuc5_rid.php\">make you think<\/a>.\n<li>While the cavewoman and the snow bunny could conceivably pass as normal figures, this one <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/artemis\/pf_midori.php\">stretches the limits<\/a> of credibility.\n<li>Not many superheroes wear the same glasses as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/poe\/dcuc5_era.php\">your grandma<\/a>, but there is at least one.\n<li>It's the beginning of a new month, which means it's time to go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/?p=1546\">Flippin' Through Previews<\/a>\n<li>How do you make a robot look human, without entering the uncanny valley? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/tfan_jazz.php\">Transformers Tuesday<\/a> has the answer.\n<li>DC Comics' Silver Age heroes were plagued by a common malady - they were defined more by power than personality. Some have outgrown that, but there's one loser <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/poe\/dcuc5_atom.php\">who hasn't<\/a>. See the dullest of them all.\n<li>This holiday favorite has a dark secret in his past. And we're not just talking about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/rbfww_frosty.php\">rampant nudity<\/a>, which you'll learn about at the end of the review.\n<li>In keeping with the theme, here's a review of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/poe\/dcuc5_am.php\">a jolly, festive holiday elf<\/a>. He's just missing the pointy shoes.\n<li>And to wrap up this super-sized week, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/artemis\/wow_tam.php\">sexy genie<\/a>.<\/ul>\n<p>If you've been paying attention to Poe's reviews, you can probably guess what we'll be posting on Friday and Saturday. But trust us, there are a lot more goodies waiting for you in the next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The OAFEnet Email Update is the reason for the season.
