I’m a big fan of Axel Giménez‘s art. He recently posted on the AFP Facebook wall so I thought I’d share it with the rest of you. This is some of the artwork that Axel did for Power-Con.
Be sure to check out My Art – Masters of the Universe and Others – there’s a ton of Axel’s awesome illustrations.
Sideshow is offering free US shipping on a bunch of Hot Toys figures, including items that are in stock and pre-orders. Popular items like the Joker 2.0, Bane, the new T-800 Terminator, and X3 Wolverine are on the list. The promotion is good for the rest of September.
A short while ago frequent commenter wally2974 sent me an email asking me about how I made my custom Legion of Doom / classic Bizarro. Of course, I gladly take credit for it even though Ibentmyman-thing did all the hard work (he sculpted the Bizarro head).
It was very flattering that wally was inspired by the custom enough to want to make one himself, so I asked him if he’d send me pictures when he was done. Now I am tinged with jealousy, since his version came out much cleaner than mine.

It feels good to finish a team – especially when the team kicks some serious ass, like Uncanny X-Force does. The (Return of) Marvel Legends wave 3 Deadpool finished off the first incarnation of the Uncanny X-Force team.
Medicom has had modest success with its 1/6 scale Real Action Hero line but they are now looking to turn the 1/12 scale on its head with its new MAFEX line of action figures, as highlighted in this blog post at AmiAmi.com. Featuring super-articulation, great sculpts, and accessories, these figures promise to be the best in class in 6 inches (6.3 inches to be precise) – sorry Hasbro and Mattel! Of course these are going to be import figures only, for those of us in the US – so you shouldn’t be expecting mass market action figure prices either.
These are available to pre-order now on the AmiAmi.com site:
At 2,820 JPY, they are roughly $36 and change each, not including overseas shipping. They’re listed with an expected April 2013 release date.
