SDCC 2015: Mezco Announces Pair of Breaking Bad Exclusives

Pre-orders for 12-inch Heisenberg and 6-inch Saul Goodman open Friday, May 15

Mezco has announced two more exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con 2015 – a pair of Breaking Bad figures. Saul Goodman gets a repaint and his packaging will serve as a diorama of his office – gotta love those Corinthian columns and the U.S. Constitution mural! Walter White, aka Heisenberg, gets the 12-inch treatment with a new deco – a black jacket and blue shirt. Heisenberg features a removable hat and interchangeable glasses and sunglasses.

Pre-orders go live on Friday, May 15. The 6-inch SDCC exclusive Saul Goodman will set you back $30, while the 12-inch SDCC exclusive Heisenberg will set you back $40. That’s cheap, compared to a Blue Sky addiction!

Marvel Legends Hulkbuster Wave Hi-Res Pics

Hasbro has released hi-res pics of the upcoming Hulkbuster wave of Marvel Legends, and we’ve got them here in all their glory. The wave consists of War Machine from Avengers: Age of Ultron, the Marvel Now! Iron Man, Doctor Strange, the Vision, Blizzard, a re-do of Valkyrie, and Thundra from the Lady Liberators.

It looks like you’ll have to pick up all seven figures to make the build-a-figure Hulkbuster – not a surprise given its size. Pre-orders have not yet hit for the wave, but I’ll keep searching for Marvel Legends at Entertainment Earth and Amazon, for where I usually find the best deals on cases and individual figures respectively.

Two-Bad Makes Mattycollector May Early Access a Can’t-Miss

Masters of the Universe Classics Rio Blast and DC Universe Classics Aquaman and Robin also available

Blast Attak, this month’s Club Eternia figure, may be considered a dud by many Masters of the Universe Classics fans, but Early Access this month is sure to be a madhouse – that’s because Mattycollector is making Two-Bad available. As some of you may recall, during the subscription drive for the 2014 Club Eternia, Mattel announced that Two-Bad would have no day of sales inventory, leading to much angst from the fan base and presumably to more subscriptions.

What remains to be sold during is likely the customer service stock for the figure – so be prepared for a massive rush followed by a quick sell-out. Adding to the mayhem are two of the final DC Universe Classics figures – Aquaman with his hook hand and the Damian Wayne Robin, both with their own draw. Rio Blast rounds out Early Access.

Early Access has Two-Bad, Rio Blast, Aquaman and Robin, and opens tomorrow at 8AM PST. All Access adds Blast Attak, and will open up at 9AM on Friday.

“Soft” Breasts on Play Arts Kai Quiet Set off Twitter Storm

A tweet from game designer Hideo Kojima has set off a minor storm on Twitter among gamers. Kojima, the creator of Metal Gear Solid, posted pics of the upcoming Play Arts Kai Quiet, due for release on May 15, revealing that a supervisor of the action figure’s production, presumably from Square Enix, has stated the figure’s breasts will be made of soft material that allows them to be “pushed and lifted.”

Quiet is one of the playable characters to be featured in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, due out in September this year. It’s not the first time the character has been the center of some controversy. When she was first introduced, Kojima tweeted about having game designers make her more “erotic,” then later offered an explanation of what he meant.

Custom 10K Piece Mini-Figure Scaled LEGO Millenium Falcon

Seems like there’s been a tremendous resurgence in the popularity of the Millenium Falcon. I suppose that’s not surprising – the iconic vehicle was featured prominently in the latest teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. With the recent Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you!) events we saw a ginormous community-built Falcon built in Australia with over 250 thousand bricks.

The version we present here was built by Titan Creations, a group of Singaporean LEGO MOCers (MOC stands for “my own creation”). In comparison, it’s ten thousand pieces, which is still an amazing amount of bricks. LEGO has had a couple of official Millenium Falcons – the regular release Millenium Falcon included 1,254 pieces, while the Ultimate Collector Series Millenium Falcon had 5,195.
