WebSwipe: Diamond Select Toys is Making Invincible Minimates – Comic Book Resources

Sometimes I wish that Minimates didn’t exist – because with independent comics they present a much lower risk option. And for a comic like Invincible, I would love a Marvel Legends-scaled and articulated action figure line. But the days of Legendary Comic Book Heroes from Toy Biz are long gone, so I suppose Invincible Minimates are much better than nothing at all. Click through to Comic Book Resources – they have all the Invincible Minimates design sheets, and an Atom Eve statue too.

EXCLUSIVE: DST Gets “Invincible” With New Minimates, Statue – Comic Book Resources

Invincible Minimates Invincible Minimates Design

The pages of Robert Kirkman and company’s Image Comics/Skybound series “Invincible” may itself be in a constant state of expansion (and bloodshed!) as the writer reveals new heroes and villains in almost every monthly issue. But soon, the Invincible Universe will be expanding into our world.

This fall, Diamond Select Toys will debut a number of products inspired by the “Invincible” comic starting with a four-pack of Minimates based on series lead Mark Grayson, Omni-Man, Atom Eve and Allen the Alien. CBR News got an exclusive first look at the designs for the figures as well as the picture of their final form.

Masters of the Universe Classics Octavia and DC Universe Classics Red Hood Headline June MattyCollector Sale Today

With the June MattyCollector sale, it’s the calm before the San Diego Comic-Con storm. Octavia is a Horde member from She-Ra Princess of Power, so even though I like how the figure turned out, I suspect she’ll have a smaller following. And judging from many of the comments I’ve seen, this version of Red Hood is not a highly sought after one. It’s Jason Todd from the second arc in Morrison’s Batman and Robin, and he changed costumes right after that. A lot of people clamored for a jacketed version, and others would have preferred a more classic Joker Red Hood. From the rehashes, only Man-At-Arms remains from Early Access; Spikor sold out.

Today marks the official opening of the subscriptions for 2013 for Club Eternia and Club Infinite Earths. The new flight stands are up for sale today too – they are two to a pack. For your convenience, here’s the link to the bundle page for the June MattyCollector sale. The sale opens up at 9AM PST this morning.

Hasbro Wolverine Legends Cases Up For Pre-Order at Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore

Wolverine 6-Inch Legends

Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore have put up pre-orders for cases of the Marvel Legends series for Wolverine, but there’s still a fair amount of ambiguity. While the cases are said to have Wolverine, Cyclops, Emma Frost and Sabretooth, there are no case pack-outs yet, and no mention of the variants: Wolverine in his X-Force costume, Cyclops in his Phoenix Force costume, and Rogue in place of Emma. We saw the Wolverine Legends variants at Toy Fair.

BBTS has Wolverine Legends cases listed at $159.99, and Entertainment Earth has them at $179.99 – but that includes free shipping. They are listed as arriving in October.

Pre-Order Superman: Man of Steel Premium Format Figure from Sideshow Collectibles

Sideshow Superman Man of Steel Premium Format Figure 1

Speaking of Sideshow, I thought that their Superman: Man of Steel Premium Format Figure wouldn’t be available to pre-order until the end of the month, when their giveaway for Supes ends. But there’s not denying the mojo from Man of Steel opening in theaters today.

The Sideshow Superman is in 1/4 scale, so better make space for this massive figure. The Superman Premium Format Figure is available to pre-order from Sideshow Collectibles, and it’s already pre-sold out at BigBadToyStore.
