Masters of the Universe Classics Thundarr the Barbarian by Joe Amato – even though Thundarr isn’t a Filmation property, he and He-Man go together like peanut butter and jelly – so it’s no wonder that a Thundarr custom from a He-Man body would look so good – now we just need a Princess Ariel and Ookla, Joe! – ends Jun 23, 2013 14:45:22 PDT
Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore have put up pre-orders for cases of the Marvel Legends series for Wolverine, but there’s still a fair amount of ambiguity. While the cases are said to have Wolverine, Cyclops, Emma Frost and Sabretooth, there are no case pack-outs yet, and no mention of the variants: Wolverine in his X-Force costume, Cyclops in his Phoenix Force costume, and Rogue in place of Emma. We saw the Wolverine Legends variants at Toy Fair. BBTS has Wolverine Legends cases listed at $159.99, and Entertainment Earth has them at $179.99 – but that includes free shipping. They are listed as arriving in October.
Hasbro has revealed a bunch more exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con through USAToday.com. The announcement covers exclusives for the major boys’ toys brands, including Marvel and the third (and final) G.I. JOE / Transformers crossover. And keeping with recent years, Hasbro has acknowledged that SDCC isn’t just for boys anymore, with exclusives from My Little Pony and Jem. Both had exclusives at San Diego in 2012, too. These join the Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett with Han Solo in carbonite exclusive. While I can’t wait to get my hands on these, I can already picture the long lines at the Con. I usually post Border Patrol on Tuesdays, but am a little behind schedule. Luckily, the auctions I had spotted are still available – this week I found a trio of customs that range from life-size to 1/12 scale.
Life-Sized Boba Fett Helmet Replica by jono1974 – with SDCC around the corner, I’ve been thinking about the Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett exclusive – if I got this helmet for myself, I’d have to call myself Chubby Fett – ends Jun 07, 2013 18:33:22 PDT
I know. If you collect Marvel Legends you’ve already got a metric ton of Captain America figures – but it’s Memorial Day, and instead of coming up with original content for you, I’ve been thinking about friends and relatives who’ve served their countries. But back to the subject at hand – as I considered each of these versions of Cap, I found it interesting that they’ve all got guns. When I was a kid, Cap was the Boy Scout on the Marvel side like Superman was at DC Comics. While Steve Rogers could use the shield as a weapon, its first use was always as a defense for Cap and his allies.
It’s the Spring Sale at Things From Another World, and that means that selected toys (and comics, graphic novels, statues, and more) are on sale for 40% off. There’s a bunch of toys on sale, including action figures from DC Collectibles, Diamond Select Toys, Hasbro, and Mattel. Here’s a few of them:
Marvel Legends Executioner by Stevid – while the Wrecking Crew might be a bit oversized, I hope that when Hasbro finally gets around to making the Executioner that they reuse that body – in the meantime, here’s your chance to add this essential Thor baddie to your collection – ends May 22, 2013 18:30:15 PDT
Marvel Legends Blade by Heroes Assembled Customs – I wonder if that running change variant Blade is ever going to come out – if not, this might be your shot at getting an updated Blade into your Marvel Legends collection – I’m digging that choice of the
Pre-orders for the next wave of Marvel Legends are popping up. I saw cases of Hasbro Marvel Legends 2013 Wave 2 on Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore. BBTS also has sets of five. The case packouts are listed with eight figures as follows: Scarlet Spider (2), Wrecker, Hawkeye, Black Panther, Jean Grey, with Ultimate Captain America and Punisher re-releases. The sets of five feature one each of just the new characters. One oddity that I’ve sent a question about to the Hasbro PR team – no mention of the Rocket Raccoon mini-Build-a-Figure. And since I was writing them anyways, I also asked if the running change variants (Deadpool, Dr. Doom, Dani Moonstar, Iron Fist, and Sentry) from the previous waves were still coming. Not cause to worry about an MIA Rocket Raccoon yet – I don’t think the verbiage for previous waves mentioned him – but BBTS did show the Hit Monkey parts in the product pictures. No product pics shown yet, but you can see more pictures of Marvel Legends wave 2 and more at our Hasbro Marvel Report for Toy Fair 2013.
DC Universe Classics Superman by Ibentmyman-thing – I’m a big fan of IBMMT, being a proud holder of several of his customs (including his modern Johnny Quick and Power Ring!) – his Superman has a number of improvements, including a new more determined head sculpt, a larger Superman shield, and a more classic light blue paint job – ends May 09, 2013 18:30:05 PDT
