This weekend Mattel was showing off some of the upcoming Ghostbusters products at the first annual Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo.
Of most note were the new medium scale figures, Peck, Labcoat Ray and the final Ghostbuster, Peter Venkman.

WonderCon 2010
To be completely honest, I wasn’t even going to bring my camera to WonderCon at first. My wife and I were only going to be able to go for a few hours one afternoon, and although WonderCon is organized by the same folks who handle San Diego Comic-Con, it doesn’t attract the the toy manufacturers like SDCC does. As we were getting ready to walk out the door, I thought, why not?
San Diego Comic-Con G.I. Joe Sgt. Slaughter Details and Press Pics
Hasbro has released details and high res pics of their two San Diego Comic-Con G.I. JOE Sgt. Slaughter exclusives.
I think the direction they’re taking this fall with the Pursuit of Cobra line is interesting, but the Sarge here has me jonesing for more classic-styled figures.
- There are going to be two different versions of the Sgt. Slaughter 3.75-inch figure – a primary figure (PF) and variant figure (VF), sold separately.
- Re: accessories, both the PF and VF will come with a whistle and a non-removable hat. The PF also comes with a weight belt, baton, and microphone; the VF also comes with a machine gun and revolver.
- There is the potential for the PF and VF to be sold online at HasbroToyShop.com following SDCC, but that is not guaranteed based on the “special edition” nature of the PF and the “special SPECIAL edition” nature of the VF.
- Pricing is TBA.
- As announced at New York Toy Fair: Sgt. Slaughter himself will be present at the Hasbro booth at SDCC (date/time TBA).
Toy Fair 2010 – Kotobukiya Marvel Pics
These are a little out of my size and price range, but if Kotobukiya ever wants to send me some of their Marvel statues, I would make it work. 😀
They had on display statues from their upcoming ArtFX line for Iron Man 2 and Fine Arts line for Avengers and X-Men, although the mutants were 2D renderings of planned statues
