Weekend Toy Run: DC Collectibles New 52 Heroes vs. Villains 7-Pack for $70 at Entertainment Earth – Today Only

DC Comics The New 52 Super Heroes vs. Super Villains Action Figure 7-Pack

Can you believe Entertainment Earth is *still* running daily deals for the holidays? They started this so long ago that I must have refreshed that page at least a hundred times. Today’s deal is for the DC Collectibles Super Heroes vs. Super Villains 7-pack. At $70 (that’s 30% off the regular price) it’s the best deal you’ll get on figures that are now normally priced at $20 and up. That is, if you don’t already have a bunch of them, or do just want some shiny repaints.

You need just $5 more to trigger the free shipping for $75 deal, which, admittedly, is tougher than it seems. I found a chuckle-inducing G.I. Joe Retaliation Snake Eyes Ninjac-Cucks Nunchucks for $12.99. Or you could go for a slightly more practical LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Flashlight for $9.99. Happy shopping!

Want to See How the Four Horsemen Made Castle Grayskull?

Eric Treadaway’s Desk Jockey feature on the SourceHorsemen website has got a cool series of posts underway right now. Taking a twist on the popular holiday theme, it’s the Twelve Days of Grayskull. TDoG covers the creation of the Masters of the Universe Classics Castle Grayskull prototype, starting with the blank armature. Very cool!

They’ve posted eight days so far (I’ve included a few of the pics from the first three), so if you haven’t seen it, you can start catching up before the big finale.

DESK JOCKEY HOLIDAY EDITION: THE TWELVE DAYS OF GRAYSKULL

Back in January, when I was digging my original Castle Grayskull playset out of the basement, my three year old son saw the castle for the first time and was instantly fascinated. He actually came into the office with me that same morning which was when the digitally output armature first showed up at the studio. At that point it went from fascination to a temporary obsession. When I first saw the size of the armature, knowing the amount of time we had to work on this monster, I knew I was in for some very long days and nights at the office! To keep my son up to date on the castle I decided to take shots of the castle every night when I was wrapping up work. It was really the first time I started using my phone to document projects in progress, and it was actually the beginnings of the idea for the Desk Jockey segment!

DC Collectibles Reveals New 52 Earth 2 Hawkgirl

Before we got tied up with CustomCon 36, DC Collectibles wrapped up another Spoiler Alert game. They revealed the New 52 Hawkgirl. Some folks had it guessed from the first image (a portion of her wings) but I had no idea – not reading the New 52 Earth 2 didn’t help.

The grumpy old man in me wants to know why they had to mess with her color scheme – I know New 52 is, well, new, but I’d like more nods to the history, and the brown, red, green, and yellow always worked for the Thanagarians. Hawkgirl’s still a Thanagarian, right?

ThreeA Toys Adventures of Isobelle Pascha Kuma and Pony-Tail Pre-Order Today 12/19

3A Toys is offering a trio of bear-suited Isobelle Paschas for pre-order later today. 3AA members will be able to get a 3-pack of pony-tailed variants, each of which may show up in blind-boxed singles available to everyone.

I’ve not bought a lot of the Adventures of Isobelle Pasche figures – they are a little heavy on the fetish side for me, and bear-suited versions take it even further. But if this is your kind of thing, check out Bambaland starting today at 5PM PST.

KUMA PASCHA, let’s go bearing!

On sale this Friday, Dec. 20th at 9:00am Hong Kong time
