One editor’s list of must-have essential items he didn't know existed until yesterday


Transformers Seacons from Hasbro
There are about a zillion transformers this year. Why choose these specific ones? Because they’re Gen 1 revivals and I remember when these colors were so “in” that everything from clothes to hairdryers to cars came in these same gaudy shades of purple and turquoise.

Tin Toy by Mindstyle
The start of one of Pixar’s most heartwarming short films is our first exception to my “no statues” rule. If the sight of this beautifully sculpted little drummer guy doesn’t make you smile, there’s a good chance you’re a machine. Better get that checked.

Castle Crashers from Behemoth
Though the toy world may have known about these pint-sized crusaders, they were new to me. All seven are fantastic: four knights, the king, the enemy, and even behemoth’s chubby chicken mascot.

Dr Who Eleven Doctors box from Underground Toys
Terrible pic of an incredibly cool box set featuring every incarnation of the Doctor thus far. Get ‘em now, before the Doctor dies again and it’s incomplete.

I was the founding Executive Editor/Editor in Chief here at GR, charged with making sure we published great stories every day without burning down the building or getting sued. Which isn't nearly as easy as you might imagine. I don't work for GR any longer, but I still come here - why wouldn't I? It's awesome. I'm a fairly average person who has nursed an above average love of video games since I first played Pong just over 30 years ago. I entered the games journalism world as a freelancer and have since been on staff at the magazines Next Generation and PSM before coming over to GamesRadar. Outside of gaming, I also love music (especially classic metal and hard rock), my lovely wife, my pet pig Bacon, Japanese monster movies, and my dented, now dearly departed '89 Ranger pickup truck. I pray sincerely. I cheer for the Bears, Bulls, and White Sox. And behind Tyler Nagata, I am probably the GR staffer least likely to get arrested... again.
