Jazwares A-Team Van and B.A. Baracus – It’sAllTrue.Net

My wife was out shopping last night and called me to ask if I wanted any A-Team toys (she’s a keeper!) Sadly, they did not have any of the A-Team vans there, so I passed. After seeing these pics at IAT, I’m pretty sure I am going to have to hunt one of these babies down. The van is almost like another member of the team!

The van itself looks very close to the original TV show version even though it’s for the movie. There’s the signature red stripe, the spoiler on the back, a sun roof, the exterior sun visor, the bull bars on front with fog lights and even a molded wench. There’s also a red GMC logo and a sticker for the back license plate that says RANGR 75. There’s another detail that most toy replicas leave out; the top of the van, above the red stripe, is colored in dark gun metal gray. Most other toy replicas mistakenly color this area black.

Heroclix Jonah Hex Press Pics

It’s nice to see Jonah Hex finally getting his due. Here’s some pics of upcoming Hex Heroclix (that’s got a nice ring to it), expected in August, to accompany the movie. Jonah Hex opens in a couple of weeks, on June 18.

The rumors are true! Megan Fox Jonah Hex is finally coming to the HeroClix with the DC HeroClix Jonah Hex Battle Pack. The movie themed Battle Pack contains three brand new, figures: Jonah Hex, Lilah, and Turnbull! The 3 fig Battle Pack is 100% HeroClix compatible and will be available mid-August. Check your local game or comic store this fall.

BTW – These are actual production pieces (off the line). I think they are some of the best eyes we’ve done to date. Let me know what you think.

NECA Predators Teaser Pic

Alright – silhouettes of figures may be frustrating, but I’m looking forward to seeing NECA’s take on Predators. Is it too much to hope for super-articulation? I’m guessing it probably is.

New Predators!

A glimpse at the newest and meanest hunters in the galaxy!

Today we at NECA are thrilled to show the first preview of our first line of figures based on the new Predators movie. We can’t show you the faces of these beauties yet, but you can check out the silhouettes of the Classic Predator, Falconer Predator and Berzerker Predator.

More details coming soon. Predators opens July 9, 2010, and our first series of action figures hits shelves the same month.

Mezco Announces DC Comics Universe Mez-Itz

We had previously asked Mattel if the Attitubes they showed at San Diego Comic-Con last year were coming, because we hadn’t been too jazzed with DC Direct’s Blammoids! offerings thus far.

Looks like the urban vinyl license for DC was still up for grabs, and I’m tremendously psyched by this announcement, in which Mezco will producing Mez-Itz for DC Universe characters. Check out my review of the Mez-Itz Comic Hellboy to see why.

Mezco Toyz To Create Mez-Itz Line For DC Comics Universe

New York- Mezco Toyz is proud to announce that is has signed a deal with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Comics, to create Mez-Itz, Mezco’s signature designer vinyl brand. The deal gives Mezco Toyz full access to the massive DC Universe of characters as well as specific movies, including world-famous superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the vast array of villains associated with these iconic heroes.

Mez-Itz, rotocast vinyl collectibles are cool by design. They features five points of articulation, amazing graphics from Mezco’s award winning design team, and are often packaged in a collector friendly window box.

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 6/1/10

Toy Guru and Mattel are back with another edition of Ask Matty. Thanks, guys!

1) I’m psyched that with the Green Lantern movie slated for next year, and great events in comics like Blackest Night and Brightest Day that more GL figures are on the way. Were the pictures of the Wal-Mart exclusive GL 5-pack in ToyFare of finished product with no more tweaks possible? Any words of encouragement for Sinestro fans who might still be looking for a great representation of him?

We are still tweaking the figures a bit to make sure they can hold their Lanterns. Sinestro is pretty final. We hope to still do a full new Sinestro down the road to make him even more accurate.

Note: Images are not of final figures. They are images from auctions that Toy News International has collected from eBay seller alvintoy.
