Yep, I’ve still got more pics from San Diego Comic-Con. Here’s some shots from the DC Collectibles portion of the DC Comics booth. One highlight was the diorama of the new Darkseid figure surrounded by the new 52 Justice League of America and an army of Parademons. I also shot the mini-diorama of the new 3.75-inch scaled Green Lantern figures.
Over the course of Comic-Con, Hasbro added some new figures to their Marvel Universe display (see our SDCC 2012: Hasbro Marvel Universe Preview Night post for more pics) – Elektra and Mysterio were the final additions, and are marked as the first MU wave for 2013.
For those of you who were disappointed at the lack of Marvel Universe reveals, take heart – Hasbro assures us that the line is still going strong. Dwight Stall was telling folks at the Hasbro booth that they had shown a lot of upcoming product at New York Comic Con and Toy Fair. Later at the Hasbro Marvel panel, the team indicated that the retail channel was a little backed up with respect to MU, due to the shelf space occupied by the Avengers line. I think these two things together have pushed some of that upcoming product out a cycle or two – hence the lack of new stuff to show.

I know – I still have more Comic-Con pics to post. Hasbro revealed two figures from 2013 Wave 2 on Saturday and Sunday. First, a perennial favorite in the Fwoosh Top Ten polls – Jean Grey in her Jim Lee era costume. And to complete the Wrecking Crew, the Wrecker – Bulldozer will be a swap-out figure for Wrecker in that wave.

I’ve been waiting for Hot Toys to reveal their version of Bane, and with The Dark Knight Rises opening on July 20, they waited almost until the last moment. Judging by the coincidental reveal of the Camouflaged Tumbler, I guess Bane is going to have a Batmobile to call his own.
Don’t have your tickets yet? You can pre-order The Dark Knight Rises tickets on Fandango. I’m traveling this week, so I probably won’t get to see this until the end of the weekend. No spoilers! 😀

At San Diego Comic-Con I picked up one of Icon Heroes’ He-Man Power Sword Letter Openers – just because I have been using my wife’s letter opener and figured a He-Man Power Sword for me would be a much better alternative to the He-Man vs. Skeletor battles we occasionally have when we both have mail to open. On the plane ride back home, I started wondering if a certain oversized figure from the Masters of the Universe Classics line would be able to use it. The answer is yes – it fits perfectly.
Now Tytus has the power! If you want a power sword for Tytus (or a perfectly functional letter opener), you can get the He-Man Power Sword Letter Opener from AFX. It’ll set you back $19.99 plus shipping. Enjoy!
