Oh heck yes! Anyone who has played Batman: Arkham Asylum should be psyched about Arkham City! Arkham Asylum took place in Arkham Asylum, as you may have guessed. It’s premise was that the Joker had taken over the asylum and let all of the inmates loose. Luckily (or unluckily) all of the inmates happen to be some of your favorite Batman villains. Arkham City will be no different and features the likes of Catwoman, Two-Face, and some lesser known villains like Calendar Man. Just check the trailer out:
And to tide you over until the game comes out in October (yeesh) Series 2 of the Arkham Asylum figures are on their way!
I’m a big fan of the Mayfair Theatre and since this marks the start of another month, it means there’s going to be new programming! See, I can talk about this ’cause I can tie it all into action figures that we have here.
So, first up on Sunday, September 5th at 9:00PM the Mayfair will be showing The Crow!
Somehow this movie (for me) is not very good and really fantastic all at the same time. It’s not even a “so bad it’s good” movie. It’s somehow simultaneously bad and good. Also, for whatever reason, Brandon Lee is really cool and Jay looks an awful lot like him.
Next up on September 14th starting at 7:00 the May will be showing Rocky IIIandRocky IV!
Rocky III is the one that has both Mr. T and Hulk Hogan in it. That pretty much does it for me right there, but you know that we also have guys from Rocky IV too!
The last movie I should mention is being played on Saturday, September 25th at 3:00PM and Sunday, 26th at 8:00PM. It’s Batman: The Movie!
This isn’t your Dark Knight, or even your Tim Burton Batman. This is Adam West Batman. Arguably the most entertaining of the Batmans. While we don’t have anything Adam West Batman in particular, we do have our fair share of Batmans here at the store.
Well, that about sums it up. If you haven’t checked out the Mayfair Theatre at Bank and Sunnyside, you should really see it. It’s a great old theatre with a totally different vibe from the multiplexes. They play some great matinées on the weekend for kids, some great old cult movies late at the night for the adults, and some of the more obscure, current movies playing in between. Prices are really good too, especially if you’re a member.
Also, don’t forget to buy toys from Toys on Fire! :^)
It’s been a weird one. Grant Morrison’s always slightly out of left field in his comics writing, but when it comes to Batman, the whole RIP/Reborn/Return saga has definitely been one of the strangest arcs ever to hit Gotham city. Which has, of course, led to the new line of toys being some of the strangest DC’s ever made under the Batman name.
Each one stands about 7 inches tall and has the smooth sculpting that seems to be DC Direct’s trademark lately, low-detail but high-definition, which gives each one a great iconic look that seems ripped from the comic pages. The first series has just arrived and you can pick it up right here!
Two of DC’s most beloved characters come together for the sixth time in this series. All of the sculpts have the same quality and attention to detail the DC Direct has become known for.
Crashing through the big screen onto the shelves here at Toys On Fire! Now available we have the one and only Batman, Joker and Scarecrow in the Dark Knight Movie Masters figures.

Glorious day, Anton is going to game 2. We are gona need his shot blocking awesomeness should we travel into a parallel dimension where we can make it to the next series.
We got in some cool stuff today, and restocked some old stuff. I think the best way for me to do this is in point form in no particular order, so here we go!
Remember how we got in the awesome Picard in Command Chair figure? Well we just got a special San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Commander Kirk in Chair. As we know all great men sit in chairs, and the only true measure of how great that man is… is the size of his chair.
We have re-stocked our Webkinz again, lil’ kinz mice and webkinz tiger snakes are back in for the 3rd or 4th time after selling out in just hours!
DC Trinity Series 1 is in stock, its got Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Ra’s al Ghul, at $14.95 each. Buy all four and get them at $47.95, big savings and also cheaper shipping if you are buying long distance!
There are some new Transformers in store today, they probably wont last too long. Stealth Bumblebee, Premium Jazz, Stockade, and Premium Barricade. They can be seen here.
The new set of Chaotic, Zenith of the Hive, is now in stock in store and also online. The prices for them are the same as the first series of booster packs, $3.95 per pack and $84.95 for a whole box of packs. Check it all out here!
The new Winnie the Pooh Pee-a-Pooh series is finally out. It appears they are re-releasing the first series with a couple new animals as well. They call it Series 1 -- Special Edition. They are all priced at $1.77 each, consequently $2 after GST and PST.
Oh yeah and our Montreal counterparts put up a shameless Bakugan video on youtube. Check it out below. I cannot help but be mesmerized by the music.
I hope to see you all at our hockey card trading day coming Saturday April 19th from 2-4PM, it looks like I am going to try and bring Mighty Ducks or perhaps even Mighty Ducks 2. Is there a Mighty Ducks 3? If there is, it is probably like Ducks in Space with little Charlie having animatronic arms that can shoot the puck so fast it sends Goldberg back to his oversized crib. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve a hankering for Emilio Estevez.
Well I think that is all for now! Until next time…
