NECA Pacific Rim Series 3 Update

I still haven’t seen Pacific Rim (no excuse now, since it’s out on DVD) so these action figures from NECA have just been cool to look at, versus must haves for my toy shelves. For those of you who love the NECA line, here’s news from NECA’s Twitter feed. Nothing yet on NECA’s website, but we’ll keep checking.

NECA Pacific Rim Series 3 teaserBIG news for fans of Pacific Rim!

Randy Falk dropped the news today in series of messages via @NECA_TOYS on Twitter. Here’s some of what he had to say:

“Pacific Rim Series 3 news will drop today. 2 different assortments of Jaeger and Kaiju offered at once. 4 new figures coming in March!!”

“2 ALL NEW Jaegers.. Cherno Alpha and Coyote Tango make up the Jaeger assortment. Almost 8″ tall and loaded w detail and articulation”

“The Kaiju require their own assortment as they getting bigger & badder & in turn cost a little more. S2 Leatherback gives you an idea…”

“We we want to stay true to scale as much as possible so a deluxe Kaiju assortment was the way to go. Bigger, more deco, more articulation!!”

“Trespasser will be one of the Series 3 Kaiju, in concept stage it was known as Axhead and you still might see that version at a later date..”

“The remaining S3 Kaiju is an all new & improved Knifehead w battle damage! Over 50% larger than S1 version!”

Catching Fire opens this Friday November 22. Back in July it was announced NECA would produce Catching Fire action figures for Katniss, Peeta and Finnick. Now they’re available and in stock at BigBadToyStore and temporarily out of stock at Entertainment Earth. You can get Katniss and Peeta separately or buy the trio as a set… and if you buy them all, maybe you can put it out of your mind that in the movie Jennifer Lawrence is a head taller than & towering over tiny little Josh Hutcherson, but I digress…

Speaking  of digression and living up to my username, who’s up for some Capitol Couture? May the odds be ever in your favor…

Marvel Select The Wolverine – Write Your Own Story by ActionFiguresRule

A few weeks ago, our good friend Richard, aka ActionFiguresRule, from the MATRIX Photo Booth and AFR Studio sent me some quick pics for the Marvel Select Wolverine from Diamond Select Toys. He promised some follow-up pictures in more of a story format. And he sent them a little while back, and in all my glorious laziness I only got them posted today (sorry Richard!)

The cool thing is that he’s provided all the pictures for a great story, but left it up to you to fill in the rest. Have a great plot, or dialogue, or the whole deal? Leave it in the comments below. Have fun!

Vote for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the 2013 National Toy Hall of Fame

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is one of twelve brands that are finalists for induction into the National Toy Hall of Fame for 2013. I’m not sure how this factors into the selection process, but there’s also an online poll where you can make your pick.

The winners will be announced in a little over a month, on November 7. So while it’s early days yet, TMNT is getting absolutely trounced in the poll – by My Little Pony! You’re not going to let that stand, are you? There’s actually a lot of worthy brands on the list. My favorites (besides TMNT) are Little Green Army Men, Clue, the Fisher-Price Little People.
