April Fool’s Joke? Or Really Awesome News?
Oh, the pains of April Fool’s day. If any news is published on this day, what level of credibility do we grant it? According to www.cooltoyreview.com Geek Show Podcast favorite and reigning toy giant Hasbro has aquired the licensing rights to the entire Star Trek universe. If this is true, kudoes to CTR for this MAJOR news, as a Hasbro Star Trek line would rule all of our pants with grace and wisdom. CTR makes one joke about “Kirk Hands” being in the line-up, but everything else they list sounds awesome. Giant Enterprise toy with removeable panels? SOLD. 3 and 3/4 inch figures with the same attention to detail and articulation as Star Wars and Marvel Universe? Pinch me and call me Mary. Romulan Disruptor pistol toy? Kiss me, Jimmy! If, on the other hand, this is some sort of bad joke, I will be pretty pissed. The article only mentions new movie figs, but Hasbro has the kind of muscle it would take to release Next Gen, DS9, and other movie figures as well. Consider me optimistically guarded on this news!
