Check out this Hasbro KRE-O Star Trek Video by Bad Robot

While we’re on the subject of Star Trek Into Darkness and KRE-O, be sure to check out this digital short for the KRE-O Star Trek line, made by Bad Robot. They are the production company of J. J. Abrams. And to answer the obvious question, yes, the very self-aware and funny video has plenty of lens flare.

Also, Sulu shows us why he deserves his own cologne. (Spoiler: he cuts a dude in half!) Makes me wish Hasbro would back a KRE-O Star Trek video game.

Hot Toys Teases Man of Steel Superman and Jor-El

The hype is building for Man of Steel, and Hot Toys is in on the action with teasers of their 1/6 scale figures for Superman and Jor-El. I am assuming that Zod is a foregone conclusion.

I think these are looking good so far (as expected), but we’ll have to see how the headsculpts match up to Henry Cavill and Russell Crowe. Mattel has already set the bar with the Man of Steel Movie Masters, which is notable considering the smaller 6-inch scale.

Hasbro Shares Official Pics and Description for Star Wars Black Series San Diego Comic-Con Boba Fett and Han Solo in Carbonite

Hasbro has released their official pictures and description for what should be one of their more popular exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con. On top of the packaged shots of the Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett that were revealed through USA Today, they’ve included pictures of the Boba Fett figure and his bounty, Han Solo frozen in carbonite. The new pics give us a closer look at the articulation setup on Boba. Of particular note, it looks like he’s got wrist hinges – allowing more natural two-handed poses with his Blas Tech EE-3 rifle.

I’ve had a chance to do more thinking about the $44.99 price, which seems a bit steep. At more than double the $19.99 price point that’s expected at retail for single figures in the Star Wars Black Series, it might be tempting to wait for his eventual re-release in the line. I’m fairly certain they will do this, most likely with the Return of the Jedi deco – there’s a precedent with the Marvel Legends Thor that launched the Return of Marvel Legends line.
