The stylin’ new Mega Bloks® Barbie® Build ‘n Play Glam Salon PREVIEW
I’m convinced that one of the best parts about the Mega Bloks® Barbie® line is that almost every figure in it comes with a different hairstyle. So with more sets, a girl has more variation in hairstyles that she can then mix and match for some trendy variations. Playing off that great feature comes the fab new Mega Bloks Barbie Build n’ Play Glam Salon set.
Barbie™ invites her friend Summer™ in a cool new style. Summer brings her Kitty along for the fun! They enter through the sparkly double doors and Summer sits down for a colour and trim in the real vanity mirror.
There’s space for a dryer chair, a funky lounge, a wash station, and a make-up station. Summer can have a seat upstairs in the funky mezzanine lounge to relax with a refreshing beverage. Girls who love to build can customize this fabulous two-level salon however they like. Make it different every time!
The 176-piece Build ‘n Style Glam Salon is packed with accessories for Barbie and Summer. Along with three interchangeable hairstyles, the set comes with two cute skirts and four hair bows that either girl can wear. Salon accessories include shampoo and conditioner, a brush, a hairdryer, a hand mirror, two shades of lipstick and two blush brushes. Your girl will spend hours helping Summer and Barbie look their cutest!
Another thing I think makes this set a fantastic addition to any Mega Bloks Barbie fan’s collection is that it comes with a brand new pair of legs in a seated pose! Perfect for Summer to relax as she gets styled, but also perfect for customizing any other Mega Bloks Barbie mini-fashion figure. For example, now Barbie in the Build ‘n Style Pool Party can relax poolside at her patio table!
This cute split-level salon will be a junior diva’s dream. This stylin’ set will be available this fall wherever Mega Bloks Barbie sets are sold. Like this set as much as we do? Let us know!
Mega Bloks Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are back! 20th Anniversary Set
Mega Bloks has been making Power Rangers sets since 2003 – exactly half the lifespan of the series itself! We’ve become superfans ourselves along the way. So there’s no chance that we’d let an epic anniversary like today pass us by.
As other fans of course know, today is the 20th anniversary of the series. On August 28, 1993, the first episode of the American series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers aired.
The show spawned a craze and twenty years later, Saban is still cranking out new seasons of its genre-defining series.
To celebrate our small part of the phenomenon, Mega Bloks has released a 20th Anniversary Set that finally puts the original six rangers in Mega Bloks form.
Although many Mega Bloks Power Rangers sets were styled in the older version of our figures, it’s awesome to see this throwback set shaped in the new, super-articulated style of the current Megaforce line.
The original team of Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, Pink, and Green Ranger come in their classic uniforms, ready to defeat the forces of evil led by Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd!
The black and gold stand that comes with this set is perfect for collectors to display the figures, and features a classic MMPR logo embossed in gold.
This set is a must-have for loyal fans of the 20-year series. It’s already hitting shelves at Toys R Us stores across North America. To our loyal Mega Bloks Power Rangers fans – happy 20th anniversary!

LEGO Simpsons 2014 Confirmed
We ran a story about LEGO Simpsons rumours back in March. Now it seems they've been confirmed, according to an article in Danish newspaper dr.dk today. This is a translation of the article, courtesy of Google:
"One of the most-loved, arch American families are now emerging as LEGO figures. These are the yellow cartoon family, The Simpsons.
There has long flourished rumours of an impending romance between 20th Century Fox Television, the production company behind the successful series, and LEGO, but only now being co confirmed.
We'll see Homer, Bart, Marge and the others next year, says Mads Nipper, marketing director with responsibility for product development, marketing and sales of LEGO.
The launch of the characters is a "small product news" in the beginning, but if the reception is strong enough, can quickly turn up the production. It will be a small launch, but it will hopefully be fun and exciting for those who like the Simpsons universe, says Mads Nipper.
The target audience for The Simpsons are teenagers and adults, but there are also many children who know them, says product manager at Top Toy, Carsten Nielsen. He has seen the figures as they appear in the 2014 catalog, and he says that "they are really well made."
