It was nearly three years ago that Hot Toys secured the Marvel movie license. Arguably, their biggest success has been the Iron Man figures from the two film and counting franchise that has spawned a figure or two for each version of the armor as well as a couple of the supporting characters. But with the success of The Avengers movie that shattered domestic box office records with its $207.4MM opening last weekend, we could see a new cash cow for Hot Toys. I suppose it’s more of a life extension for the existing cash cow, as Iron Man is also part of this team.

Howdy, AFP viewers!
I’m finally back from San Diego Comic-Con 2011, slowly recovering from jet-lag, and making an attempt to kick start my travel-addled brain to give you my picks for Best of SDCC 2011!
3) DC Universe Classics Wave 19 Hawkman has his hooded head as a Pack-In!
 
See it there, hiding behind Hawkman’s mace?
I had completely missed this at the show, and it wasn’t mentioned in either of the Mattel panels I was able to attend. It wasn’t until I got home and a friend pointed it out that I saw it. I’m incredibly happy that Mattel decided to make this Hawkman with swappable heads, as I’m not a fan of the “full beaked” mask. This improves DCUC 19 a hundred-fold for me.

By Ron, on December 25th, 2010 As promised in their Indiana Jones tease from about 10 days ago, here’s the Hot Toys reveal of the Raiders of the Lost Ark MMS. For the alternate costume, it’s his costume from the map room. Tons of accessories, and I think it’s pretty cool they’ve got the idol and bag of sand in there!
Dear Fans, one day to go for the public opening of our highly anticipated 10th Anniversary Exhibition at Tokyo!
We’ve just celebrated with the industrial leaders and friends at the private party!
 
As promised, the greatly expected MMS DX Indiana Jones Collectible Figure from the Indiana Jones – Raiders of the Lost Ark movie, a project collaborated with Sideshow Collectibles, is first unveiled here! Here’re photos taken at the event for our fans! Hope you’d like them!
Let’s share the joy with us & have a wonderful Christmas!

CoolToyReview has a set of auctions for some rare toy collectibles that will directly benefit Toys for Tots. Canonball recently did a similar auction – see Turning $20.00 into $175.00 for Toys for Tots for more info on that – and it’s a great idea. Toys get into the hands of collectors who are on the hunt, and Toys for Tots (or your favorite charity) get more than the value of the actual collectible. Everyone wins!
Here’s the CTR items:
The auctions end between December 23 and 25th – click through and bid them up!
By Ron, on December 16th, 2010 Wow. This is great timing for this announcement. With Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in heavy cable rotation right now, I’ve been jonesing (honestly, no pun intended) for some Indy toys. With the DX designation, I think it means we’ll be getting a PERS (parallel eyeball rolling system) version of Indy, with a ton of accessories too.
DX also usually means multiple outfits – I wonder if we’ll see an Egyptian or Nazi outfit.
Throw me the idol! I’ll throw you the whip!

Sideshow posted this teaser image of a Hot Toys Spider-Man 3 figure on the Sideshow Facebook page. I wonder if we’ll get the black suit included with the Spidey figure. Maybe we’ll even get the emo disco outfit. What the deuce, Sam Raimi?!
By Ron, on December 2nd, 2010 Sorry, that isn’t an actual player displayed below – you’ll have to click through to see the AMP Suit Maquette unboxing. When I watched it, I was so impressed I had to post about it here. This thing is massive – 21 x 19 x 19 inches – with an insane amount of detailing.
As cool as this is, I don’t have the $1,199.99, not to mention the addition on our house I’d have to build to display this monster. If you do, head over to Sideshow to buy the Avatar AMP Suit Maquette.
Out of the Box – Avatar AMP Suit Maquette
Launching the Sideshow Collectibles line of AVATAR collectibles is the AMP Suit Maquette, created in conjunction with one of the film’s special effects studios, Legacy Effects. Created directly from 3D modeled by the team that created the 14-foot suit used during filming, the AMP Suit is a truly authentic scaled representation. Each piece is individually painted and finished, each with its own unique quality and detail that is the trademark of a handcrafted Sideshow Collectibles product. The AMP Suite Maquette is comprised of polystone, cloth, resin, fiberglass, metal, ABS and PVC plastics and is the perfect addition to any display.

The more I see of these Halo Reach figures from Square Enix, the harder it will be to not start buying them. I know if I take the plunge I’ll have to buy them all.
The first three figures, Noble Six, Emile, and Jun, went on pre-sale about two months ago. Now Carter, Jorge, and Kat are available to pre-order for about $50 each from Sideshow. These should be available before the end of the year.
Check out more pictures from our NYCC coverage of Square Enix.

Sideshow Collectibles has a couple of the upcoming Hot Toys figures available for pre-order – Chris Taylor, Charlie Sheen’s character in Platoon, and Bruce Lee from Enter the Dragon. I might spring for the Sideshow exclusive version of Bruce Lee, since it comes with an extra body and stand for just $20 more. It’s a DX, so with the extra body, you can have two complete figures since there’s the extra head, many sets of hands, and multiple outfits included already.

At a list price of $89.99, the Shrine of Dagon Action Figure Environment is not the kind of accessory that I’d normally buy – after all, it costs quite a bit more than the usual action figures that I’d choose to display with it. But after a visit to the Sideshow booth at San Diego Comic-Con, I found myself with a gift card (they hand them out cards with random amounts on them) worth $75.
I’d been looking for something like this ever since Sandman and MattK started raising the bar on their photo sets with intricate set pieces that make my plain background pictures look pretty dull. So for $15, this was a complete steal.
