I guess this means that Lt. Aldo Raine sold well enough for Hot Toys to warrant another figure from Inglourious Basterds. I wish the head sculpt captured a little more of Christoph Waltz’s almost mischievous characterization of the sinister Col. Hans Landa.

It’s nice to see Mattel’s event exclusive WWE figures extend beyond the basic series, as I’m really only interested in the figures with the Elite style articulation. It’s also pretty cool that Mattel can turn around a series with event-specific decos after only a few months. WrestleMania 27 took place at the start of April.

Yes, I know that Mattel is releasing a Tomar-Re with the DC Universe Classics Green Lantern’s Light 5-pack that should be hitting Wal-Mart any day now. From a customs standpoint, I’ve had a recent streak where customs I’ve made or commissioned have been cruelly announced as upcoming retail figures by Mattel – see Sinestro and Riddler from Giants of Doom, our group entry to CustomCon 26. But in Tomar-Re’s case, it was deliberate.

Does Robert Rodriguez ever stop working? I still haven’t seen Predators, and already Machete is right around the corner. But really, I’m wondering when Sin City 2 is gonna make it to the big screen.
Machete Cut Down To Size
Because a house isn’t a home without Danny Trejo.
He is one of the ultimate cult film icons of all-time, and now he finally gets his time in the limelight. Danny Trejo is Machete. A renegade with a flying motorcycle, a penchant for making things blow up, and a keen sense of revenge for those who’ve wronged him. Sound good? You know it does.
Directed by Robert Rodriguez, the movie Machete is based on one of the fake trailers that preceded 2007’s Grindhouse. and it features Trejo in the role he was born to play: a deadly ex-Federale who’s just as much on the hunt as he is on the run, stacking up a body count along the way that would make Rambo blush. Forget the summer. This is the feel-good hit of your life!
NECA is proud to help immortalize Trejo in his first starring role as Machete, and we couldn’t be happier to unveil our new Machete 7″ action figure, which comes complete with Trejo’s likeness (yes, that is a special feature) and his character’s trademark weapon. You’ll never guess what it is.
So join us in celebrating the release of this slab of awesomeness and raise your machete high. May it be the first of many sequels — both the movie and the figure.
Machete opens Sept. 3, and our figures will be in stores later that month, and of course will also be featured on our Amazon storefront

Kmart jumps on board with Mattel’s WWE Legends line with the Hall of Fame assortment, which is essentially Legends Series 1 minus the Road Warriors plus Funk and Snuka from Series 2. Of course, if the packaging is different, then you might have some mint on card collectors out looking for these guys too.
I’ve already picked up all of Series 1 with the exception of Dusty Rhodes (I was never a big fan), and Funk was a little before my time. But Snuka was always entertaining, so I’ll probably still stop by to see if I can pick one up.
