SDCC 2015: Bandai Reveals S.H. Figuarts Goku (Frieza Saga) Exclusive

Bandai’s Tamashii Nations has revealed one of its exclusives available from Bluefin for San Diego Comic-Con – a new S.H. Figuarts Dragonball Z Goku variant, from the Frieza Saga.

This variant includes a new interchangeable face (upping the total to five), his belt tied at the front, and new “Go” symbol applied to the front and back of his gi. Some critics have been bemoaning that this new exclusive is identical to the Mexico exclusive S.H. Figuarts Goku that’s been going for crazy amounts on eBay, save for the packaging.

Bandai will have one more exclusive to reveal for SDCC. We’ll keep you updated.

Weekend Toy Run: Pre-Order the Marvel Legends Rhino Wave at Entertainment Earth

Generally, I prefer having the option to order Marvel Legends figures individually, so I’ve been waiting for the Rhino wave to show up on Amazon, like the Marvel Legends Ant-Man / Ultron wave did a couple weeks ago – but inexplicably it hasn’t yet. So I am doing the next best thing – I’m pre-ordering a case of the Marvel Legends Rhino wave at Entertainment Earth for $159.99 with free shipping. That will leave me with a duplicate Scarlet Spider to give away.

There are other options: you could pre-order the Rhino case or a seven figure set (no dupes) from BigBadToyStore. The case costs the same as EE, but shipping is extra. And the seven figure set only saves you $5 at $154.99 – and again you pay shipping. The math there doesn’t make sense to me.

Toys R Us also has the Rhino wave up for pre-order – they currently show up first when you search for Marvel Legends on the TRU site. While you can pre-order the figures individually, they’re $21.99 each – for all seven you’d be at $153.93 (with free shipping, though) so to me it really only makes sense if you’re going to cherry-pick the wave.

SDCC 2015: Marvel Reveals Ant-Man Exclusives

I am at the airport, so excuse any typos. Hasbro has just revealed more Marvel exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con, for the upcoming Ant-Man movie. The pair of exclusives feature a multi-pack of Ant-Men, presumably in scale with Marvel Universe figures (but with a size-changer, does it matter?) and a very cool tiny Ant-Man that comes packaged in a Pym-branded matchbook.
