Introduction to Zencaster
00:00:00
Speaker
Dave, you know why I love using Zencaster? Is it because the recording quality is better than other methods of recording a podcast virtually? Nope. Is it because they offer a free version for hobbyists just getting started? No, not that. Is it because it's super easy to use for everyone and none of our guests have ever had an issue using it? That's not it. Is it because they offer automatic post-production and transcription services? Negative.
00:00:29
Speaker
Stop burying the lead. Why do you love Zencaster? It's because Zencaster is all of the things you just said, Dave. Well, and they sponsor this pod. That's right.

AICNN, where toy news matters. Welcome to AIC News. Give us a few minutes and we'll give you the goods. It's us. It's really us. I'm Eric and I'm here with my brother Dave. Now let's hop into the news.
New Toy Releases: Hasbro & Mattel
00:01:39
Speaker
Last week, I stumbled upon the not yet announced across the Spider-Verse wave of Hasbro Marvel Legends figures at Walmart. They are now officially announced and you can look for Miles, Gwen, Peter, Jessica Drew, The Spot, Spider-Punk, Spider-Man 2099 and Cyborg Spider-Woman to officially be available April 11th. These should go up on places like Amazon, Walmart, Target and be available to purchase immediately.
00:02:06
Speaker
Moving over to Star Wars with the ongoing Mando Mania event, last week Hasbro posted pre-orders for their Black Series mainline release of the Pike Soldier from the Book of Boba Fett for $25 at most major retailers and the Shop Disney and Hasbro Pulse exclusive Vintage Collection Tusken Raider 4-pack available for $60. Again, both are available now for pre-order.
00:02:31
Speaker
As this is WrestleMania weekend, or WrestleMania after Raw? Raw after WrestleMania Monday? Yeah, that. Before I send it over to Dave to cover this weekend's huge amount of wrestling figure news, I'd like to take a moment to congratulate Rob and the gang at Savage Crucible for closing out their mega successful campaign on Kickstarter. Look for those figures to start shipping out at the end of the year. Dave, over to you.
00:02:58
Speaker
With WrestleMania having happened this past weekend comes a wide array of Mattel WWE reveals. The week kicked off with the start of the latest Mattel Creations crowdfunding project. Mattel is taking us back to the Monday Night Wars with the classic WCW Monday Nitro entered stage.
00:03:16
Speaker
It includes soft goods banners, LED light patterns, and the potential for 5 Ultimate Edition figures if all tiers are met. It is $400 and the crowd fun ends on May 5th. You can get in now at MattelCreations.com
00:03:34
Speaker
There's more Monday Night Wars where that came from. The next Ultimate Ring represents Monday Nitro and will include an Ultimate Eric Bischoff figure. That will be an exclusive to both Mattel Creations and Ringside Collectibles. There's also a Monday Night Wars series coming as a Walmart exclusive. This series represents key figures and moments from WWE and WCW and will include both Elites and Ultimates.
00:04:01
Speaker
We also got to see renders and prototypes of upcoming elites featuring Dakota Kai, Johnny Gargano, Stardust, Ron Breaker, Solo Sakoa, Dominic Mysterio, Ron Strowman, and Carmelo Hayes. We also got to see future premium live event themed lineups and more.
00:04:21
Speaker
The Ultimate Line was well represented by the next Coliseum collection wave of Roddy Piper and George the Animal Steel. Bobby Lashley and Bianca Belair make up the next mainline Ultimate Wave, and don't forget the Ringside Collectibles exclusive Ultimate Two Pack of the Usos. More entries were also added to the basic superstars and retro lines as well. On behalf of myself and Dave, this has been your AIC News Brief.
