Toyfare 157 to Reveal New Hasbro Marvel Universe and Mattel DCUC, Ghostbusters, and MOTUC Figures

Toyfare 157 leads into San Diego Comic-Con, and it’s due to hit news stands next week. It will feature new figures from Hasbro and Mattel, and thanks to a subscriber who got his issue early, we’ve got the rundown for you.

Hasbro Marvel Universe

The fifth and sixth series of Marvel Universe for 2010 have been revealed by online retailers who posted pre-orders, but you’ll get some nice closeup pics of some of them in Toyfare. In series 5, you’ve got a Team X Wolverine who looks like a revisit to the 90’s Toy Biz Spy Wolverine, a classic Mystique, and Madrox the Multiple Man. Madrox is sporting his duds from the Ultimate Universe, but without his trenchcoat.

From series 6, there’s Hawkeye (Bullseye, spoiler!) from the Dark Avengers, a classic Constrictor, and Thanos. It looks like Thanos is not wearing the Infinity Gauntlet.

Hot Toys Announces Assassins Creed II Ezio

I never played either of the Assassin’s Creed games, but remember being impressed with the NECA Player Select version of Altair from the first Assassin’s Creed that I saw at San Diego Comic-Con a few years ago. Ezio from Asassin’s Creed II is impressively detailed. If I had unlimited funds, I’d pick him up just for how cool his accessories are.

Mattel to Sell Masters of the Universe Classics She-Ra and Justice League Unlimited Lobo

In case you missed this with the long weekend, Mattel announced it would be selling two recent MattyCollector.com offerings, the Masters of the Universe Classics She-Ra and the Justice League Unlimited Lobo at San Diego Comic-Con.

And if you need reminding, here’s the rundown of Mattel exclusives at SDCC.

SDCC Update

Hey toy fans!

With SDCC only just over 2 weeks away I wanted to give you a quick update.

First off we will have a full schedule of events, panels, signings, and raffles posted as soon as we lock everything down. SDCC 2010 will feature more brands than ever before participating in the Mattel booth. As always, you can expect a huge showing from all of my favorite collector brands such as DCU, JLU, WWE, MOTUC, Ghostbusters and more!

In addition to our exclusives, we’ll also be selling some other collector product in limited quantities. As announced on my forums, we do have some Lobo figures (for you JLU fans!) and She-Ra figures (for her 25th anniversary!). Both are the same run that sold on Mattycollector.com in June, we just saved a few for SDCC.

A full list will be posted soon. Stay tuned soon for more…and hope to see you all in San Diego!

NECA Predators Press Pics

A little over a month ago, NECA published a teaser pic for their line of action figures for the upcoming Predators movie. Now they’ve revealed the first shots of the three Predators. They’re three… ugly motherf*ckers!

Still Ugly After All These Years

New Predators revealed!

In honor of Predators hitting theaters this Friday, July 9, we’re thrilled to show off our all-new Predator figures!

That’s right, no more living in the shadows. The most fearsome hunters in the galaxy have returned, and this time, we’re on their turf. In Predators, some of Earth’s most able killers are kidnapped and brought to the Predator homeworld for some good old-fashioned hunting. It’s the first Predator-only movie since 1990’s Predator 2, named in the fashion of the Aliens series and starring Adrien Brody and Laurence Fishburne, among others.

But we all know the real stars are the Predators themselves, and it’s them we’ve honored in our line of figures from the movie. In the series of three, you get the brand new Falconer Predator, the menacing Berserker Predator, and of course, the original, Classic Predator! Each figure comes with unique weaponry, amazing detail and stands almost 8″ tall.

Predators is in theaters this Friday, July 9. Our Predators line will be in stores later this month and will also be featured on our Amazon storefront.
