DC Collectibles Previews Two-Face and Mr. Freeze from Batman: The Animated Series Line

DC Collectibles surprised us at Toy Fair with their announcement of a new 6-inch line for Batman: The Animated Series, and shortly followed it with a closer look at the Batman and Catwoman figures from the first wave. At the time, they announced that Two-Face and Mr. Freeze would also be part of that wave – and here’s a preview of the digital sculpts and articulation breakdown.

I’ve been wondering how these will be received. For the longest time, the previous licensees (Mattel and Hasbro) produced Batman figures from animated shows in smaller scales, with a standard five points of articulation. Super-articulated and 6-inch scale is somewhat new ground – for an animated line, at least. Batman: TAS fans – are you psyched for these figures?

Bandai Announces S.H. Figuarts Uzumaki Naruto

When Toynami announced they were retiring their Naruto line last October, I know that Sandman was bummed. Well, he’ll be excited to hear that Bandai is making an Uzumaki Naruto figure in its S.H. Figuarts line… but he might not be too happy for his wallet – the SRP converted from Yen is about $42. The figure is due out in July this year.

Watch Marvel Super Heroes: What The–?! Deadpool vs the Punisher

Deadpool vs the Punisher

It’s been a while since Marvel has produced a new episode of our favorite Marvel Legends-laden videos. I checked in recently, wondering if the team would put up a video for Captain America: The Winter Soldier – instead, a few weeks back, for no special occasion, they dropped this video pitting the Punisher against the Merc with the Mouth. Why is the Punisher pissed at Deadpool, you ask? Watch the video!

See more videos at the Marvel Super Heroes: What The–?! home page.

Hot Toys Falcon from The Winter Soldier Confirmed at Hot Toys Captain America Exhibition

Captain America - The Winter Soldier Join Forces at Hysan Place 01

If Hot Toys’ reveals today from their Winter Soldier line-up weren’t enough to get you pumped for action figures from the movie, they’re also opening a Captain America exhibit today at Hysan Place in Hong Kong. The exhibit will feature the first live reveals of the Winter Soldier and the three Cap figures, as well as dioramas showing scenes from The First Avenger, The Avengers, and The Winter Soldier – recreated with Hot Toys figures.

The big reveal, though, was the acknowledgement that Hot Toys is indeed making a figure of Falcon, even if he wasn’t yet on display. I think he’ll be in high demand – he was pretty well realized in the movie, and I had been pretty skeptical that Marvel could translate this character from the comics to the big screen.
