Diamond Select Toys Halo Minimates Packaged Pics

Hagop and I got to see these way back during Toy Fair in February, but they were in a strict no photography zone. We had to go back into an area behind a curtain, then they lifted up a cover to reveal Halo Minimates. I think this is a property that totally makes sense for the Minimates treatment.

Prepare to battle The Covenant…Minimates style!

Here is a first look at DST’s new Halo Minimates in packaging. These 2-packs are only available at Toys R Us!

DC Universe Classics Wave 14 Packaged Pics

I’m not quite sure how, but trs from the Fwoosh, who got us some really early packaged pics of DC Universe Classics wave 11 almost a year ago, has done it again. Now he has got his hands on what is probably one of the first sets of the Wal-Mart exclusive wave 14 in the United States – at least not ones that fell out of the back of a truck in China.

He is guessing that these will start hitting Wal-Marts within the next two weeks. He particularly liked how Zatanna turned out, and I’m inclined to agree!

I’ll hold off on my final thoughts until I have these in hand, but I am concerned about a trend of larger heads. Guy Gardner has giant head syndrome from the Green Lantern’s Light 5-pack, and OMAC has it from wave 15. Here it looks like Alan Scott and Obsidian have it too. Could be hereditary, in their case. 😉

Mezco Announces Scott Pilgrim 6-Inch Figures

When I chatted with the good folks at Mezco at San Diego Comic-Con, they said that they were pleased with the strong reception that their Scott Pilgrim line was getting – so it’s not a surprise that they’re introducing a line of figures based on the comic. Hopefully, the figures do well enough to warrant producing Ramona and some of the other characters from the book.

Scott Pilgrim 6 Inch Figure Set Revealed For Preorder

Mezco Toyz presents a new 6inch figure of Scott Pilgrim based on the character from the popular Universal Pictures feature film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and the chart topping series of graphic novels.

Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim; a bass guitarist for garage band Sex Bob-omb. The 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams…literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him.

Mezco’s 6” figure captures the wide-eyed enthusiasm and quirky nature of Scott Pilgrim and features 8 points of articulation. To help capture the many looks of Scott Pilgrim, there are 2 separate figures; The first figure wears a green shirt and comes with a closed mouth head. The second in a yellow shirt comes wearing a jacket and has 50/50 pack of the open mouth/closed mouth head. Both variations will come with the sword and guitar.

Each individually packaged.

Available for pre-order at:

Available at finer retailers in April 2011.
