Marvel Comic Book Canvas Art Sale on Woot

If you’re a fan of Marvel Comics and are looking for something to class up your man cave, then this sale at Woot is for you. The Marvel Comic Book Canvas Art Sale features your favorite Marvel heroes and villains depicted in classic covers or comic book panels – but printed on canvas versus shoddy poster paper. You’ll have to hang them up using real hardware, not push pins, but that’s what lets you claim them as actual art!

They come in two sizes:

18″ x 26″ x 0.75″ comic book dimensions for $59.99 (63% off List Price of $159.98)
26″ x 26″ x 0.75″ squares for $79.99 (64% off List Price of $219.98)

NECA Returns to the Planet of the Apes this Summer

We knew that NECA had picked up the license for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, but somehow missed that they’ve also got the rights for the classic films. They’ve shared two teasers so far of the classic line to arrive this summer. The Dr. Zaius shown is the paint master.

I’m wondering if this means we’ll be getting figures of Taylor or Nova, and not just those damn, dirty apes.

ThreeA Toys Invincible Iron Man Planned for Pre-Order in Mid-February

It’s been almost a year since 3A Toys announced that they would be collaborating with Marvel on a line of re-imagined Marvel heroes and villains. Since then we’ve seen some teaser pics for Iron Man with an initial plan to put him up for pre-order in December last year – that obviously passed, likely due to the approval process with Marvel. Looks like the pre-order is right around the corner, in the first couple of weeks of February.

The Invincible Iron Man is in 1/6 scale. He’s fully articulated – normally exposed joints (like in the elbows and knees) are hidden by soft PVC. LEDs will light up his eyes and his ARC reactor. Available individually or in a four-pack, 3A has not yet shared any info on pricing. Hopefully the Marvel licensing fees don’t push the prices up too much.

Q: You are probably asked a lot…but what about Iron Man and when we might see it at Bamba?

A: Well first week of Feb is Bambastark week, or around then, but its REALLY CLOSE, there are four variants, Classic, Silver Centurian, Stark Industries Prototype and the Stealth! Prototype is 3AA only as a single, or available in the mega 4 pack display box edition.

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Sirens – Scream, Spider-Woman, and Storm

This week I found a few Marvel Legends females that show how the new Hasbro bodies are way ahead of what’s come before them.

Marvel Legends Scream by glennwebman69 – this spawn of Venom uses the Jean Grey body – it works for Scream’s lithe body type – great sculpt and paint here enhance the base figure – ends Feb 02, 2014 18:44:21 PST
Marvel Legends Spider-Woman by Loosecollector – this is a previously owned custom being sold by its current owner – the Jean Grey body is a big improvement over the lanky, awkward body that came from Toy Biz (hey, I was happy to get her way back then), but I’ve got to believe that Jessica Drew deserves the badonkadonk from the new Moonstone body – ends Jan 29, 2014 13:41:29 PST
Marvel Legends Storm by Wings – the old Toy Biz Storm was great back in the day, but seeing her on the Moonstone body has me convinced the weather witch needs more curves – the approach the customizer used with her hair makes for a nice wind-blown effect, but I would have liked to see it blended better at the hairline – ends Feb 02, 2014 13:08:04 PST

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

Four Horsemen Announce Delay to Kickstarter Gothitropolis Ravens – But Looks to be Worth It

We’d heard from the Four Horsemen that there were some issues with the sizing of the Gothitropolis Ravens and were expecting some delays to come from that. They’ve just announced that they expect it to be about a 2 month delay. Originally targeted at March, this would mean May at the soonest.

I continue to be very bullish on this project – the 4H have always striven to deliver quality products, and when they’ve had missteps they’ve corrected them. While I’d love to have my ravens now, I’m happy to wait for them to get it right. They’ve shared a ton of pics – it looks like they’re making great progress.
