We’re back with the first Marvel Q&A of 2010 from the team at Hasbro. Thanks guys!
1) We’ve seen Marvel Universe card art for the Iron Patriot that shows Norman Osborn unmasked, holding the Iron Patriot helmet. Will the upcoming figure include an Iron Patriot head, a Norman Osborn head, or (we hope) both?
You just never know what Norman is thinking or how he’ll show up – just be on the look out!

I’m all for zombie toys, but I’d really like to see some new super-poseable figures for video game franchises.
The Roots of Evil
Resident Evil Archives Makes the Classics New Again!
Series 2 features Jill Valentine, Hunter and a Labcoat Zombie!
Capcom’s original Resident Evil might be the greatest horror game of all time. It’s a cultural milestone — the one that started it all. In June 2009, Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil was released on Nintendo Wii, and as more landmark RE titles are set for release this Fall, NECA is proud to present this collection of classic characters with improved decoration detail in Resident Evil Archives Series 2!
Jill Valentine is among the most memorable videogame heroines, and she appears in two different versions in Series 2, along with a vicious mutant Hunter and — because you always need one — a zombie in a labcoat (or, as we like to call him, Labcoat Zombie! These icons all come with multiple accessories and articulation and deluxue packaging with a display stand, and are on a zombie-blasting/brain-eating 7″ scale
Resident Evil Archives Series 2 is available for preorders now. They’ll be hitting shelves in May and of course will be featured on our Amazon storefront

It’s the Sweet Sixteen in the Fwoosh DCUC March Madness Tournament, and there’s some great matchups. Batman vs. Robin? Kalibak vs. Kilowog? Who will make it to the Elite Eight?
Well ladies and gentleman, we have whittled the DCUC field down to just 16 competitors. One of these 16 will be your favorite DCUC figure produced thus far – pretty exciting! We have reached the Regional Finals where we will see who is the favorite figure from each bracket town and who will get to go off-planet to compete in the tournament quarterfinals. Are you ready? Here we go!
Voting for this bracket ends on March 31st, so make your picks now!

We are going to keep this at a good pace so please pay attention to the dates, once a round is closed, it is over and we will advance the winners until we get to the final two that will battle it out in the center of the universe on Oa!
When I ran a guest review from Blue Devil on the SH Figuarts Piccolo, I knew I was going to have to take the plunge myself. It’s a slippery slope, buying figures imported from the Far East. Once you take the plunge, you find yourself getting used to paying more and expecting more from your toys. For Goku and Piccolo, I paid about $32 each, all in. But are they worth the two to three times what I’d pay for a similarly-sized figure here in the States?
The tourney keeps rolling on, and there’s some more intriguing matchups this round. In Gotham, we have Green Arrow vs. Black Canary. And in Ivy Town, the two matchups look like they’re leading to a Batman vs. Robin matchup in the Regional Finals!
The biggest names in the DCU just keep on keeping on! After a second round filled with pummelings and very curious upsets, the favorites are starting to pull away and some favorite characters (rather than figures) have found their way into the round of 32. This is the lead-in to the matches that will decide the best from each region, so choose wisely.
The routine is the same as before, we will trudge on through the same regions and we have separate voting sites for each.
Follow the links below to vote in each region after you check out the current standing the entire bracket!

Go make those tough choices in this third go around and remember, this round closes on Monday, March 29th!
