When Buzzy Fret reviewed DC Universe Classics Wave 13, he got the Negative Man variant in his set, so I’m completing that review with some pics of the regular version of Negative Man.

Four Horsemen Announce Plans for Fantastic Exclusive and More
A few weeks back, the Four Horsemen hinted on their Fantastic Exclusive forums that they’d have some news. Today, they shared it with us. Here’s the summary, with the full press release following it:
- Fantastic Exclusive has been reconfigured to take the new economic conditions into account, but fans will have more opportunities to get involved in the creative process, including lines outside of the normal Fantastic Exclusive format, like 7th Kingdom and the Outer Space Men.
- Scarabus going into production in a few months, and Raven is in the design phase with sculpting underway.
- To support this, the Four Horsemen will be launching a new website that will serve as a hub for all things Horsemen.
- And they’ll be at San Diego Comic-Con with Action Figure Xpress at booth #4045.
For more pics of Fantastic Exclusive, check out our Four Horsemen pics from San Diego Comic-Con last year.

Hot Toys Prince of Persia Teaser and International Tokyo Toy Show Exclusives Press Pics
There were three announcements in the Hot Toys newsletter today that I found interesting. First, a teaser for the Prince Dastan MMS from the Prince of Persia movie opening tomorrow. The torso certainly evokes the “Defy the Future” movie posters, but who knows how the head will look?
My guess – probably better than the movie will do – it’s got stiff competition from last weekend’s #1 movie, Shrek Forever After, and Iron Man 2 in its 4th weekend. The reviews have been mediocre at best.
threeA Toys Popbots Up For Pre-Order May 28
Fans of Ashley Wood’s Popbot, a set of collector-oriented vinyl action figures are coming your way from threeA Toys in1/6 scale. These will go up for pre-order at bambalandstore.com on May 28 at 9AM Hong Kong time. For the time-zone challenged out there, that’s 9PM EST / 6PM PST tonight (May 27).
I’m trying to avoid adding another 1/6 scale line so I’m passing, despite how insanely cool these look, but you can check out our coverage of one of our favorite 1/12 lines, WWRp, also from threeA. I hope Popbot makes it into a “portable” 1/12 scale like World War Robot has.
