This is a review from Sandman21xxi – he’s become a fixture on the Fwoosh with his great pics across a variety of toy lines, and he’ll be joining us soon as a regular contributor on AFP!

Three months to go before Iron Man 2 hits the theaters (I believe the release date is May 7, 2010), and the toys have started to show up in some stores! I got this set at Toys R Us, which somewhat surprised me as it’s only January, but hey I’m not complaining! These figures are from the Comic Series. I saw some from the Movie and Concept series, but I was more interested in these guys because they would be a welcome addition to my Marvel Universe collection!

I’m doing more of a picture review with some of my observations added in. Let’s start with a lineup pic for size reference and some comparison pics with some Marvel Universe figures.

Hot Toys MMS Blade II Available in Hong Kong

The Hot Toys MMS Blade II has arrived in Hong Kong, and the final head sculpt looks fantastic.  Take a look back at the press pics.

A real Blade arrives!

Blade is coming in real! The final head sculpture, with more prominent facial features, movie-accurate eye and facial expression, fine wrinkles, frown and moustache, further illustrates his likeness. The signature tattoo at the back also stands out his fierceness! Equipped with the detailed costume, accessories and weapons, he is now going to hunt even more vampires!

Incredible Hulk Wave 3 Bi-Beast, Iron Clad, and Classic Hulk

Fwoosher Hagop sent pictures of three figures from Wave 3 of the 3.75-inch Incredible Hulk movie line.  These figures didn’t see wide distribution when first released near the end of 2008, and excess inventory has made its way to discount stores.

Bi-Beast, Iron Clad, and a classic version of the Hulk were not featured in the Incredible Hulk movie, but were based off of designs from the Incredible Hulk video game by Sega.
