The Video Game Years is back! 1987 was a huge year and part 1 shows Zelda, Wizards & Warriors, the somewhat forgettable PacMania and the infamous Leisure Suit Larry. Plus Eric’s What Shoulda Been a Video Game. It’s The Video Game Years and 1987 will rock you like a hurricane.
When a video game becomes popular, it’s not uncommon to find merchandise such as posters, comics, or even action figures based on characters from the games. But some video games get the honor of being turned into an animated series! Some of these cartoons are good, most are not so good, but they are ALL fun!
The Videocade Commentaries is a podcast series where three guys who love video games offer their own commentary on these cartoons! Join RetrowareTV.com alumni “Pixel Dan” Eardley, Lance “Ito” Cortez, and Eric Lappe as they watch these cartoons with YOU!

The Legend of Zelda is no stranger to the world of action figures. There have been many over the years. But still, there has always been something lacking. Until now, that is, because thanks to the Good Smile Company, we may very well have the ultimate action figure of the hero Link!
Remember that awesome Figma Samas Aran action figure I took a look at recently? Well now it’s time to look at the next figure in the Nintendo Figma action figure series!

For anyone who pre-ordered the figma Legend of Zelda Link figure from BigBadToyStore.com, you should be receiving an e-mail notice letting you know that your order is unfortunately being cancelled.
While this is certainly terrible news, it’s worth noting that this is out of BBTS’ control. It appears that Diamond Comics Distribution has failed to secure the licensing needed to bring the figma Link to North America.
If you had your Link pre-ordered with BBTS, you may want to hurry up and start seeking alternate means of securing this figure. BBTS says they will keep all pre-orders open just in case they find an alternate way to fufill them, but point out that it does not look good. If figma Samus showed us anything, it’s that these Nintendo figma’s will sell out and then get pretty pricey on the after market. So don’t delay in finding another one to purchase before it’s too late!
Just look at him in all his glory! If you’ve been following me online for a while, then it’s no secret that I’m quite a big fan of The Legend of Zelda series. In fact, one of the very first toy videos I ever made was about Legend of Zelda action figures.
This new Figma Link figure looks like it may very well be the Link figure I have always dreamed of. Good Smile posted details and images showing off the amazing detail, poseability, and interchangeable parts that will make this the ultimate Link for your collection!
I’m not usually one who imports figures from Japan, but I have long dreamed of owning amazingly detailed and articulated action figures of my favorite classic video game characters. Between the D-Arts Mega Man X from Bandai Japan, the Figma Samus Aran and now this Link, I am well on my way to finally achieving this dream.
