Much to my chagrin, I was woefully ignorant about 3A Toys and World War Robot when the Dirty Deeds 12-pack was announced, back in October last year. They were only available for pre-order for a 24-hour window. When I saw tigerfeet’s pics on the 3A Toys forum, I asked if I could repost them here. I’m not sure why, because it’s more than a little like torture to see these great pics of toys I’ll probably never have in my own collection.
Update: Toy Guru has posted details on Mattel’s Facebook page. His comments are quoted below.
I was lucky enough to be able to watch Mattel’s reveals for their San Diego Comic-Con exclusives on yesterday’s Attack of the Show, but it all went by so quickly. So I took a few screen caps to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Probably still did, so let me know of any glaring omissions.
Starro DC 75th pack
On Attack of the Show today, Blair Butler visited Mattel’s Toy Guru, aka Scott Neitlich, to get the skinny on Mattel’s San Diego Comic-Con exclusives. Without further ado, here’s what was revealed:
Stay tuned for another AOTS segment on the 15th!
When I win the lottery, I’ll buy every action figure I want. For now, these ones were Left on the Shelves.
In this edition, Hasbro Iron Man 2 6-Inch Exclusives, McFarlane Playmakers, and NECA Clash of the Titans.
Hasbro Iron Man 2 Mission Tech Armor (Toys R Us Exclusive)
ToyOtter at ActionFigureInsider pointed out this article at Bleeding Cool – claiming a Marvelman exclusive from Hasbro for San Diego Comic-Con. It’s got the ring of truth to it, but I’ll look for confirmation. Last year, Hasbro produced multiple Marvel Universe exclusives for SDCC, so I don’t think Marvelman is precluded by the Ages of Thunder Thor and Ultimate Captain America that they announced at Toy Fair.
Hasbro To Debut Marvelman Figure At San Diego
Last year, Joe Quesada announced that Marvel had bought the rights to the Marvelman character from Mick Anglo. Last month we discovered Marvel were publishing a number of classic Marvelman strips from the fifties and sixties. And now it seems Hasbro are getting in on the act with a Marvelman toy. And making it a San Diego 2010 Exclusive.
Negotiations over the rights to the Alan Moore/Garry Leach/Alan Davis/Chuck Austen/Rick Vietch/Jon Totleben/Neil Gaiman/Mark Buckingham run on the book from the nineteen eighties have still not been fully nailed down, so the odds are that the character will be based on the original Mick Anglo designs rather than the Garry Leach look.
And odds are it should look a little better than the Todd McFarlane versions….
