Win a Set of Star Trek Select Kirk and Spock Figures from Topless Robot

Topless Robot has a giveaway underway for the first two Star Trek Select figures – Captain James T. Kirk (with Khaaaaan!) and Commander Spock. And all you have to do is suggest scenes for future Star Trek Select figures and a plot for the third Star Trek movie, sans J.J. Abrams.

Live long and prosper!

You know I’m a fan of these. Now it’s time to show me that you are. Because in addition to sending me a set of the first two figures in their new diorama figure line, Diamond is going to send a pair to one of you as well.

The set of Kirk/Khan and Spock/Horta retails for just shy of $50, so I’m going to make you work for it just a little bit.

Watch Mattel’s Video Preview of the SDCC Exclusive Man of Steel Superman vs. General Zod 2-Pack

In other Man of Steel toy news, I missed this video preview from Mattel on the Man of Steel 2-pack featuring angry Superman vs Zod. I had guessed when Mattel first revealed the heat vision feature for Superman that the packaging would have an LED pointed at Superman’s head. I was wrong – the Superman figure has a button on his back that activates lights in his head.

While the button is not that intrusive, it wasn’t clear to me from the video if the light-up feature means that there’s no point of articulation for Supes’ head.

DC Collectibles Solicits for October Reveals Odd but Cheap Man of Steel Superman

I know that DC Collectibles tends to favor sculpt over articulation, but this Man of Steel Superman revealed in their solicits for October doesn’t really have either. It’s got two points of articulation – swivels in both arms to allow for a flying pose, I guess. But at 3.5 inches, there’s not the beautiful detail in the sculpt that we’re accustomed to.

At $5, this should hit a different market than normal for DCD, but I’d have liked a 3.75-inch figure like they’re putting out for their con exclusive Green Lanterns. To top it off, attributing the sculpt to Gentle Giant seems a bit incongruous for this kind of offering. What do you think?

MAN OF STEEL SUPERMAN 3.5″ FIGURE
SCULPTED BY GENTLE GIANT STUDIOS

A young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth. As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind.

Features 2 points of Articulation • Measures Approximately 3.5″ Tall

$4.95 US • On Sale October 2013 * Allocations May Occur
