Hot Toys Unveils Iron Man 3 Silver Centurion

When I’m at an event like San Diego Comic-Con or Toy Fair and taking pictures to post, a lot of times I don’t even have time to think about what I’m shooting. For example, I have been anticipating the arrival of the Silver Centurion armor from Iron Man 3 with all of the previous Hot Toys Iron Man 3 releases from the massive army of Iron Men scene from the movie.

And there it is, in my shots of the Hot Toys figures at Sideshow’s SDCC booth. But of course, while shooting that I was thinking about all of the preview teasers Hot Toys had leading up to the show, and didn’t even notice the Silver Centurion until seeing this news.

SDCC 2013: More Four Horsemen Pics

Screaming American Eagle 1 Screaming American Eagle 2

Update: The Four Horsemen’s Gothitropolis Ravens Kickstarter project is still on a tear. Backers unlocked the secret figure yesterday morning – a screaming American Eagle. Eric Treadaway and Cornboy said that they didn’t think the project would get this far this fast. They said they had to put in an emergency call to the studio to prep the Eagle. In their haste, the figure shown has two left hands, but they say this will be corrected!

More pics from the Four Horsemen booth.

Really love the Kickstarter Gothitropolis Raven stuff!

SDCC 2013: Interview with Hasbro’s Marvel Team

Hasbro Marvel Diorama (2 of 12)

Sandman and I met with Adam Biehl (Vice President, Global Marvel Line at Hasbro) and Dwight Stall (Senior Marvel Product Design Manager, Hasbro) today for a brief conversation about Marvel Legends and the related 6-inch Marvel action figure lines. We talked about the health and direction of the Marvel lines, issues with distribution and the fate of running change variants, and more.

This was a great lead-in to the Hasbro Marvel panel, which we will be posting in full later this morning.

SDCC 2013: Hasbro Star Wars Black Series

Hasbro Star Wars Black Series (1 of 26)

My excitement for the 6-inch Hasbro Star Wars Black Series figures continues unabated – and this is without even having opened and played with a single figure. Sure, I was lucky enough to be able to score an exclusive Boba Fett, but even though my buddy Hiro Nagano took a peek inside the box, I didn’t have the chance to take the bounty hunter out of his cardboard prison before my wife took him to UPS with the rest of our loot from the first couple of days to ship home.

Wave 2 was announced at the Hasbro Star Wars panel today (video to go up shortly) – I had said it would be crazy if Han Solo weren’t in this wave, after Entertainment Earth first revealed Greedo in the wave – I’m glad the Hasbro team isn’t crazy. Slave Leia was also a huge want for so many. And folks who don’t have a shot at the SDCC Boba Fett exclusive will be able to get him in wave 2, with no deco chances.

SDCC 2013: Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Exclusive Boba Fett with Han Solo in Carbonite

Here are a couple of quick pics of the very hard to get SDCC exclusive Boba Fett. It’s been a nightmare trying to get Hasbro exclusives this year and I just got lucky that I met some guys at the con who helped me get one.

Wherever you guys are, Daryl and Derrick, I wish you good toy karma!!
