Pre-Order the WorldBox Mortal Kombat 1/6 Scale Sub-Zero

I just happened to come across information on this 1/6 scale Mortal Kombat Sub-Zero by WorldBox Ltd, a company I have not heard of, but was apparently awarded the Mortal Kombat license from Warner Bros. for 1/6 scale figures. Sub-Zero is the first, due out in 4Q this year, and WorldBox is promising to follow up with more. They’ve mentioned Kung Lao, Scorpion, and Jade, to start. Sub-Zero comes with a bunch of accessories, including a bloody skull and spine and an ice sword that you can use to “impale” other figures with a clever blood splatter attachment.

I’m really a sucker for Mortal Kombat, especially the Ninjas, so I’ll be giving WorldBox a try. Sub-Zero is available for pre-order from BigBadToyStore for $144.99 and OneSixthBruce for £105.00. Fatality!

Play Imaginative Reveals Super Alloy Cyborg and Flash at Taipei Toy Festival

Play Imaginative revealed two DC New 52 diecast Super Alloy figures at the Taipei Toy Festival: Cyborg and Flash. I just saw (more like ogled) the Super Alloy Green Lantern at San Diego Comic-Con, but this shot from Taipei shows him with some of his construct armor pieces on. Brilliant!

I haven’t really been reading the New 52 – is Hawkman on the team? Because I think he’d make a brilliant Super Alloy figure. But I suppose we’re really missing Wonder Woman and Aquaman. I don’t think I’ve seen Martian Manhunter in the New 52, but I could very well be wrong.

SDCC 2013: Hasbro Marvel Universe Rebranded to the Marvel Movies

After 6 years running with the Marvel Universe brand, in 2014 Hasbro will be refreshing both its Marvel Universe and Marvel Legends lines. During the Hasbro Marvel panel, Hasbro revealed that next year, Marvel Universe will be rebranded to the Avengers, while Legends will be aligned with the Marvel movies during the year.

The Hasbro Marvel team revealed two of three movies that would carry the Legends line forward: Captain America and Spider-Man. Presumably the third will be Guardians of the Galaxy, although Hasbro is still staying mum.
