| 07.24.2013 – The unprecedented success of the Happy Meal brand for McDonald’s has been followed by other fast food restaurants. The aftermath of the Despicable Me 2 featuring the beloved minions has caused the marketing to bring the next one –- Smurfs ! The Smurfs (Les Schtroumpfs in French) has been around long before merchandise marketing was born for collectibles as it first appeared in a Belgian comic and television show. Smurfs first appeared in comics on October 23, 1958 by Peyo (pen name of Pierre Culliford). |

Sighted: DM2 Agnes & Gru Collectors Edition!
| 07.05.2013 – The Minions may be sold out but for those who collect the Despicable Me 2 toys other than Gru’s henchman have a little chance to collect the other characters. Two additional action figures have been sighted yesterday. They are the Collector’s Edition Gru and Agnes just like the three playful minions that were sold out prior to the release of the film these have the same electronic feature. Both figures have more than 30 movie lines based from the original and the sequel. Agnes stands at 11 inch while Gru stands at 14 inches which has a talk back interactive feature. |

Sighted: The Wolverine from Hasbro!
| 06.16.2013 – More than a week ago The Wolverine merchandise has started appearing in toy stores across Metro Manila. Just like the being trained by the Japanese Samurai from Japan the toys slowly appeared on display. The upcoming film looks promising but “The Wolverine” merchandise particularly the 4 inch action figures where somewhat a little underwhelming which is similar to “The Amazing Spider-Man” that has lack in quality compared to when the X-Men Origins came out some five years ago. |

Sighted: Movie Masters Man of Steel!
| 05.14.2013 – The toys from Mattel was released last month but for the fans who grew up seeing Christopher Reeve soar high in those original Superman films never had much merchandise when it first came out. Even Superman Returns haven’t had cooler figures when they first came out with conventions exclusives and limited retail releases. The quality was ahead of its time back in 2006 but with the advent of the Dark Knight changes happen and went up not only how the toys where made it offered a new audience in the Adult Collector market. |

They are the same company who brought in Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Battleship for the Kre-O brand. The new line was released in the Philippines over the weekend which featured the some of the familiar ships from the 2009 movie and some sets based from “Into Darkness” that are sometimes potential spoilers prior to the release of the film. |
