Toy News Highlights
00:01:10
Speaker
AICNN, where toy news matters. Welcome to AIC News. Give us a few minutes and we'll give you the goods. I'm the diecast Jeep you stepped on in the middle of the night, and I'm here with a Hasbro WWF 123 kid. Dave and Eric are out.
00:01:29
Speaker
Why so serious? McFarland Toys has dropped the Dark Knight trilogy wave of DC multiverse figures with orders through the McFarland Toys store already shipping. Grab Batman, the Scarecrow, Two-Face, and the Joker to build Bane. These are available now, like I mentioned on the McFarland Toys store as well as Amazon and other major retailers. You can get links to them now at adventuresincollectingpodcast.com forward slash links. Bro.
00:01:59
Speaker
Did you want some Marvel Legends pre-orders, bro? Pre-order the tracksuit mafia figure from Disney Plus' Hawkeye series, along with classic comic Yondu and Hank Pym's Ant-Man, now exclusively at Target. The new Ant-Man and Wasp Quantum Mania Wave is available at all major retailers, featuring the MCU's Ant-Man, Wasp, and Kang, along with comic future Ant-Man, Egghead, Ultron, and Crossfire,
00:02:27
Speaker
with the MCU's Cassie Lang in her giant form as the Build-A-Figure. Attention fellow East Coasters, the folks at Bondi are launching a limited Tamashi Nation's pop-up location in New York City February 23rd through March 2nd at HBX New York on 41 Division Street.
00:02:49
Speaker
The pop-up will feature exclusive figures, Gundam builds, and more. Be sure to check it out if you're in the area. And sticking with Tamashi Nations and Bandai, they too have announced their Ant-Man figure from Ant-Man and Wasp, Quantum Mania. No pre-order information is available yet, but they did show off that Ant-Man comes with a very interesting looking accessory that I'm sure will make sense once we've seen the film. 123Kid, over to you.
00:03:19
Speaker

Manscaped Grooming Products
00:04:41
Speaker
Manscaped now sells beard products. That's right, they are once again revolutionizing men's grooming with the brand new beard hedger pro kit. From a beard trim to a fresh shave, the technology behind the beard hedger pro kit allows you to shape your signature beard look.
00:04:59
Speaker
Now you can finally use Manscaped products to make your drapes match your carpet by going to manscaped.com and using code AIC for 20% off and free shipping. It's time to tame your mane. No one likes a weird beard, Dave. So say goodbye to all your stubble trouble with Manscaped's Pro Beard Kit.
00:05:23
Speaker
Eric it all starts with the beard hedger. This thing is a juggernaut of fixing faces. First off, this cordless trimmer has a rotary wheel that gives you 20 hair cutting lengths, all with one guard, so no more messy drawers full of extra add-ons. That's right, face grooming doesn't need to be hard.
00:05:43
Speaker
Get 20 different beard lengths in just one guard. Plus it's waterproof so you can shave in the shower to avoid all that hair in the sink. The titanium coated T blade is tough on hair but smooth on your face leading to single stroke efficiency. That brings satisfaction one stroke at a time.
00:06:04
Speaker
Kit doesn't end there, though. They've created four dermatologists tested formulations for your post-trim care. First, there is the beard shampoo and conditioner. You need to remember all your hair is different. Your beard hair is more coarse and easier to damage than the hair on your head. That's why the kit has made shampoo and conditioner specially designed to moisturize, reduce ingrown hairs, and replace natural oils and promote beard health.
00:06:32
Speaker
Next, the kit has Manscaped's Beard Oil, an essential piece for your main facial accessory. No one wants a guy whose beard is brittle and dry. The oil relieves dryness both on the beard and the skin beneath, while adding a little shimmer and shine, making you look extra fine.
00:06:49
Speaker
Cap it all off with the beard balm, a pomade that shapes, styles, moisturizes, and tames for a sculpted look. It also comes with three free gifts, a beard brush, a comb, and scissors to ensure your beard is ready to impress. So what are you waiting for? Get 20% off and free shipping with the code AIC at manscaped.com. That's 20% off with free shipping at manscaped.com.

and use code AIC. Manscaped beard hedger, one stroke, one guard, 20 lengths.
