I’ve been pretty busy with my day job (as evidenced by the relative lack of updates here) but not too busy to put in my order for Scarabus at the Store Horsemen site (which has a new URL: http://www.shopfourhorsemen.com/). I knew I wasn’t going to have room for the awesome Scarabus 10-pack, but I did want to get all of the Egyptian-themed variants, which the Four Horsemen made available for pre-order as the Dark Deities set.
Our friends at Jazwares have sent us some shots of their upcoming 6-inch figures from the Mortal Kombat 9 video game released a month ago today. Look for these on shelves this summer.
We have a ton of figures planned, this is just the beginning…
Included are:
#13211 Sub-Zero
#13212 Raiden
#13213 Johnny Cage
#13216 Scorpion
The figures will be available this summer and we will have a Toys-R-Us Comic Con exclusive! I am waiting for permission to release more information.
We are also asking the fans on our Facebook page to tell us their favorite MK characters so we make sure we make them. I’ve heard some rumors and read the blogs… I can tell you that we are currently sculpting Sonya Blade!
Look no further, guys! Wave 1 of the Cap 3.75-inch line is on sale right now at HasbroToyShop.com. You can find them all on the HasbroToyShop.com Captain America page.
I picked up the updated Winter Soldier plus a basic Cap – I’d like to compare them to the earlier versions from the Marvel Universe line.
Hey folks – just a quick reminder that Monday 5/16 is the MattyCollector sales date. Masters of the Universe Classics has Catra plus She-Ra and two other re-issues. The first of the MattyCollector exclusive Green Lantern Movie Masters, Green Man, is also up for sale.
Mattel is also experimenting with retail figures going online individually with Green Lantern Classics wave 2. From what I hear, the Dex-Starr, B’dg, and Despotellis 3-pack is the shortpacked item, so don’t miss your chance to get it while you can. Here’s a quick link to the bundle page. Happy shopping!
5/16 SALE REMINDER Green Lantern Wave 2, Catra™
Toy Fans,
Here’s your friendly sale reminder for our upcoming sale on Monday, May 16th. Be here at 9 a.m. PT and here’s what you’ll find:
Mattel has posted carded pics of DC Universe Classics wave 17, the Rainbow Lantern wave, on its Facebook page, and sets of DC Universe Classics 17 have started hitting eBay. I am really curious to see how these sell – when the rumors of this wave first hit, the reaction was the most mixed I’ve seen in the collector community.
Personally, I think I would have liked a third wave of Green Lantern Classics. There’s plenty of Lanterns that could benefit from existing tooling who have had a bigger presence in the comics than these characters – but I do think DC missed an opportunity for some interesting follow-on stories, had the Scarecrow and Lex kept their deputy rings.
