Hot Toys teased their Superman: Man of Steel figure a few weeks ago, and I guess with the movie opening today they couldn’t wait any longer to reveal the figure. Some people have said that the figure is a bit too bulked up compared to Henry Cavill – and while I agree, I think it’s the right thing for a super-heroic figure.
While I haven’t seen the Hot Toys version listed yet, check out Sideshow Collectibles and BigBadToyStore.

Superman: Man of Steel opens today, and in a timely fashion, Bill has shared his latest comic with us. It’s a Superman tale called Never Ending Battle, in which Supes faces off with not one, but two of his enemies. Be sure to check out more of his comics at Bill’s Comics.

Entertainment Earth is hosting a great opening act for the big show – they’ve got a Buy One Get One Half Off sale on San Diego Comic-Con exclusives. The catch? It’s for the exclusives from past years. What, you didn’t expect them to put this year’s exclusives on sale before the show, did you?
There’s nearly 60 items on sale, from toy makers like Funko, Diamond Select Toys, Bif Bang Pow!, Underground Toys, Diamond Select Toys, and even Mattel (who hasn’t sold exclusives through Entertainment Earth, as far as I can recall.)
If you’re a fan of Masters of the Universe Classics, and of Battle Cat in particular, maybe this t-shirt is for you. Or maybe it’s for your significant other. Check out the Meowster of the Universe t-shirt by Charity Ryan – just $12 and free shipping.
If Only!
He-Man are go!
Oh man, just seeing this shirt makes me think, how cool would it have been if this were a real cartoon, right? Or maybe not this exact cartoon, but at least a cartoon from that era, you know, but with cats as characters?
I’m thinking it would be a group of cats, or cat-like humanoids, who travel the universe having adventures and fighting evil mutant aliens or something. And they’d have a cool name, a name that let’s you know they’re cats. But it wouldn’t just be “The Cats.” You’d have to throw something else in there, like maybe a weather condition, especially one that is primarily auditory.
Like, The Hissing-Wind-Felines. Yeah! That’s what it would be called! I wish they’d made that cartoon!
Icon Heroes has revealed its exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con. I’m glad to see the ThunderCats Minimates continue. For more information on the He-Man bust, check out our conversation with Joe Amaro, who collaborated with the Four Horsemen on that piece. And remember, those Power Swords are compatible with the larger figures in the Masters of the Universe Classics line, like Tytus and Megator.
All three exclusives will be available at the Action Figure Xpress Booth #3345.
ThunderCats Minimates Set of 5 ($22)
As his homeworld crumbled around him, young Prince Lion-O fled Thundera with the noble Jaga. Jaga would sacrifice himself to ensure his ward reached the safety of Third Earth, but little did he know the dangers the boy would face, most notably his old foe Grune the Destroyer and a new threat, Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living. Includes a Ma-Mutt PVC Minimate! Limited edition of 3,000.
Masters of the Universe He-Man with Battle Axe and Shield Mini Bust Paperweight ($60)
Keep your papers safe from Eternian winds with the Icon Heroes San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Masters of the Universe He-Man Mini Bust Paperweight! Based on the 1980’s Filmation television series, He-Man wields his battle axe and shield atop a Castle Grayskull tower base defying evil. Designed and sculpted by Joe Amaro and the Four Horsemen, this complete piece comes with sheath and Master of the Universe logo. Cast in high quality polystone, the He-Man Mini Bust Paperweight stands approximately 10 inches tall from the bottom of the base to the tip of the axe. This makes a great addition to any desktop or Masters of the Universe collection. Limited edition of 500 (ONLY 100 AVAILABLE AT SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON).
Masters of the Universe Faker Power Sword Letter Opener ($20)
Created by Skeletor, He-man’s robot twin sneaks into the power sword line up as an exclusive variant. This letter opener measures approximately 7 inches long and stores nicely in the Castle Grayskull business card holder (sold separately). Limited Edition of 600.
