We may not equate SDCC with toy collecting, but that would be a mistake. The industry's biggest names are always in attendance; who would give up a chance to market to that many pairs of eyeballs? Indeed, the main reason I used to go to Com...

When Metroid: Samus Returns was announced at E3, two new amiibo sprung up with it -- the Metroid 2 Samus figure and the Metroid toy (that has a squishy body). That duo will add a tiny bit of functionality to the game along with a ...

There's something strange about a company revealing plans for merchandise of a property they might not care about. In fact, it's weird when it's related to a title made by a team who doesn't work for them anymore. Honestly, this was my reac...
