Hot Toys Announces Spidey from Spider-Man 3

I can’t remember the last time I felt that a Hot Toys figure was lacking that something extra special, but I was expecting a bit more from this announcement. There’s lots of things I think that Hot Toys could do to spice this up – throw in the black costume, give us an unmasked head, and maybe even a ripped mask to go over that unmasked head.

As it stands right now, this looks like a perfectly serviceable Spidey for your 12-inch collection, but I think I’d need more to feel compelled to pick one up.

Marvel Universe 2011 Wave 1 Carded Pics

At the end of 2009, because Hasbro’s Marvel Universe line had performed so well, we got the first series of 2010 . It’s the same this year – the first series of MU from 2011 is on shelves now – I picked these up between Toys R Us and Target.

For those of you who are wondering who the cardback artist is for 2011 – Dave Vonner told us that it was none other than Olivier Coipel. It’s too bad the modern version of Thor came out this year – it’d be nice to have a Thor cardback in Marvel Universe by Coipel.

Also, notice the Mutant Detected tag on Captain Marvel’s cardback? That must be a nod to the upcoming Masterworks Sentinel.

Is DC Universe Classics Wave 18 the “Super Friends Diversity” Wave?

Back in September, rumored line-ups of DC Universe Classics Wave 17 (the “Rainbow Lantern” wave) hit the internet. And right on time, we’re now starting to hear buzz about Wave 18.

According to a post on Raving Toy Maniac’s Toy Buzz, wave 18 will consist of:

Samurai
Superman & Bizarro (interchangeable head and hands)
Manhunter
Black Vulcan
Metallo
El Dorado
C&C: Apache Chief

What makes this alleged line-up interesting is that six of the characters (the ones in bold) were on the SuperFriends cartoon back in the 80’s, including the cartoon-only characters that Hanna Barbera added supposedly to give the character lineup some color. While this line-up would be a blow to those Classics fans that believe the line should be limited to characters that have appeared in the comics, Mattel already crossed that bridge when they made the Wonder Twins the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive figures in 2008 – ok, technically it was Gleek who was the exclusive. And while some will argue that Zan and Jayna did appear in the Teen Titans comic briefly, their figures were definitely based on their appearance in the cartoon.

DC Universe Classics Wave 16 Carded Pics

Mattel has posted carded pics of DC Universe Classics wave 16 on their Facebook page. And even though I’ve already got an awesome custom of the Riddler from Buzzy, I think this new one is gonna be great too. Jonah Hex and Robin are also most wanted figures for me.

What do you guys think of the new packaging for 2011?
