Hey, we promised the items we told you about would be related to toys, not related to toys you like.<\/p>\n<p>Transfans should go to page 377, to take a look at the <b>Grimlock T-shirt<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>DST's <b>Universal Select<\/b> toys will be back this Halloween, featuring the Metaluna Mutant and the Phantom of the Opera.

Wait, where's Carl? He's not in the house!<\/p>\n<p><b>Minimates Series 47<\/b> is all X-Men, and all '80s. Relive past glories on page 386.<\/p>\n<p>Page 387 reveals the next Marvel Select figure: <b>Storm<\/b>. She's even got a 1-in-3 variant with different hair. No, not a mohawk.<\/p>\n<p>Mattel's <b>DC All-Stars Series 2<\/b> is listed on page 391. But is this the revamped lineup, or the old one?<\/p>\n<p>Hasbro's <b>GI Joe Retaliation<\/b> toys are listed on page 395, but there's almost no information and (obviously) no pictures. Useful!<\/p>\n<p>Page 397 shows Mezco's <b>Mars Attacks<\/b> figure and plush.<\/p>\n<p>Page 398 promos <b>Amazing Spider-Man<\/b>, again with no info or pictures.<\/p>\n<p><b>Star Wars<\/b> toys are listed on 398\/399.<\/p>\n<p>Page 399 also has the new <b>TMNT<\/b> Retro Collection.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Spider-Verse Jessica Drew addendum\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2023\/08\/spider-verse-jessica-drew-addendum\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Spider-Verse Jessica Drew addendum<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"A tour of Toys R Us in 1991\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2021\/01\/a-tour-of-toys-r-us-in-1991\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">A tour of Toys R Us in 1991<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Marvel Legends Spiral addendum\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2008\/12\/marvel-legends-spiral-addendum\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Marvel Legends Spiral addendum<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"It's alive!
