Hot Toys Teases Avengers SHIELD Agent Phil Coulson and Chitauri Footsoldier

When I first rounded up the upcoming Hot Toys Avengers line-up, I joked that we only needed Phil Coulson and Maria Hill to complete the cast. Now we’re down to Maria Hill. The “Son of Coul” looks like he’ll come with the mystery SHIELD weapon and a set of Captain America cards (hopefully not bloodied).

The Chitauri footsoldier looks here like it’s at an earlier stage of development, but Hot Toys says both prototypes will be at Ani-Com in Hong Kong this weekend, along with the Hulk and the Mark VII Iron Man. For these two figures in particular, I wonder how many folks are thinking of army building for other SHIELD agents and the Chitauri invasion force. I’d like to, but I’d need to win the lottery first.

Hot Toys Teases The Dark Knight Rises Catwoman and Quarter Scale Batman

A couple of Hot Toys quickies tonight. First up, a couple of teases from The Dark Knight Rises. I’m sure Anne Hathaway got more than a few engines revving when she hopped on the Bat Pod. As the tease was double-billed as Catwoman and Selina Kyle, I’m wondering if we won’t see more than the skin-tight cat suit for this figure – would Hot Toys go so far as to give us a French maid’s uniform?

Interesting for Hot Toys to be going into the 1/4 scale size. I’d expect this Batman to have more detail and more accessories, but am curious as to what they will do with the articulation in the larger size. We’ll stay tuned to news from Ani-Com Hong Kong this weekend, where they will be revealing both figures. Wish I could be there!

ThreeA Toys Halo Figures On Sale Next Week

I love it when I happen to stay up late and catch a new 3A Toys reveal. I was blown away by the Halo Commander Carter at San Diego Comic-Con and am psyched to see it come up for order so soon afterwards.

How long we’ll be waiting for them to ship is another matter entirely. 😉

For those of you who are used to buying McFarlane Halo figures, these might come with a little sticker shock at $200, but I think they’ll blow you away. Fully articulated, individual fingers? Fiber optic lighting? Magnetic attachment points for weapons? Awesome. I’m psyched for the 3AA exclusive figure and think that might be the version I pick up.

These should be going on sale at Bambaland Store at 6PM PST on August 31.

SDCC 2012: Mezco Toyz Booth Pics

I love Mezco Toyz – they’ve made some of my favorite action figures with the Hellboy movie and comic lines. Now they’ve got a handful of pop culture licenses, with a range of items like large scale Thundercats to 2-inch Mez-Itz from The Dark Knight franchise. I’ve got a 6-inch Wonder Woman Mez-Itz (she is awesome) that I should be taking some pics of when I get back home. To my buddy Airmax – thanks again!

SDCC 2012: Diamond Select Toys Marvel Select Booth Pics

Diamond Select Toys has really been wowing me with their latest Marvel Select figures. As you know, I’m a big Legends fan, but I dig it when there’s an oversized figure that can be fudged into my display. They’ve also been knocking it out of the park with their classic X-Men and the Danger Room diorama pieces. And remember that Marvel Select Rhino? He’s every bit as awesome as when we first saw pics.
