We also got pics of the 3.75-inch Hellboy and Golden Army Soldier two-pack. Some people were hoping that the Golden Army Soldier’s flame effects would be translucent. That would have been icing, but this is a pretty sweet set regardless.
Mezco’s Golden Army Soldier Prepares To Storm SDCC 2009!
Mezco’s award-winning 3.75inch Hellboy line continues with the addition of the highly anticipated Golden Army Soldier! The Golden Army Soldier stands approximately 7 inches tall (in scale next to the other figures in the 3.75inch series) and features eight points of articulation. He comes packaged with a 3.75inch Hellboy, who comes complete with a base, and his legendary sidearm, the Samaritan.
Mezco has sent over new pictures of it’s Mez-Itz Hellboy that’s an exclusive this summer for San Diego Comic-Con and the Mezco online store. Mez-Itz have grown up – at six inches Hellboy will match up nicely in both style and size with some other vinyl offerings, like Hasbro’s Mighty Muggs, but will be a bit undersized when compared with Dark Horse’s eight-inch Hellboy Qee.

Mezco’s beloved Mez-Itz return in a larger six inch form. These newly resized creations are the hot new item in the world of designer vinyl for 2009.

Standing six inches tall, with six points of articulation, this limited edition figures comes complete with Hellboy’s legendary gun, the Samaritan.
Here’s the final three exclusive variants from this year’s 7th Kingdom exclusives. With the the 7th Kingdom offerings in the past two years, the minotaurs and elephants, I’ve been selective about which figures to pick up. This year I may have to go for the full set. We’ll do a recap of all eleven figures sometime next week.
THE QUEEN AND HER COURT – PART 4
Over the past few days you’ve been introduced to an ever expanding group of warrior women from the Four Horsemen’s fan-favorite property – “7th Kingdom”. In today’s part four of “The Queen and Her Court”, you’ll meet the final three femme fatales which will make up the complete set of 11 figures to be offered through Store Horsemen (http://www.StoreHorsemen.com) at a later date.
Each of the following figures will each be carried and sold through a different online retailer, toy news website, or action figure magazine.
The first of the final three is one of the darkest denizens of the 7th Kingdom – Baddathiir. Baddathiir will be the second of two exclusive variants carried by online toy retailer Big Bad Toy Store (http://www.BigBadToyStore.com) .
Number two on our list today is the slithering soldier mutant – Siliskk. The Four Horsemen’s very own online retail outlet, Store Horsemen (http://www.StoreHorsemen.com) will be the only place to pick up this very limited figure. Siliskk will be sold for $20.00 each and will not be available at Comic Con!
The last but certainly not least of the exclusive variants to be revealed will be offered through online toy news website, Raving Toy Maniac (http://www.ToyMania.com). She’s the crimson cat of the 7th Kingdom – Raavia.
All three of these warrior women will each wield a deadly spear, and a razor sharp small sword. The price of each figure will be determined by each individual retailer at in the near future. At a later date, all three of these figures as well as the eight previously introduced figures will also be available in a complete set only through Store Horsemen (http://www.StoreHorsemen.com) .
TheFwoosh.com is on an absolute tear this week with Mattel and Four Horsemen goodness. Next up is an early look at the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive for Masters of the Universe Classics, He-Ro.
Masters of the Universe Classics He-Ro
A point of high interest for Masters fans for over two decades, Mattel has finally given us a figure of He-Ro, the first character in the Masters of the Universe Classics line that has NEVER had an action figure. It feels like we are playing a part in a bit of history here, this is the first new Masters character to get a figure since 1987 (or since 1992 if you are a rare faithful of the New Adventures of He-Man line). It’s kind of a big deal.
