The HeroClix team skipped the Blackest Night Starter Kit update today, but they did post a huge update for The Brave and the Bold. These figures, which will be available in April, look to be traditionally sculpted. They really highlight the differences in detail from a digitally sculpted figure, like Blackest Night.
I’m not sure if Art Asylum had previously revealed that the final black silhouetted Iron Man would be the Mark V armor. I am usually not a fan of movie-oriented figures, but Iron Man 2 may be too hard to resist.
Whoooosh! Iron Man 2 Packaging is HERE!
Oh yeah… these puppies just flew into the office today. I’m in Iron Man 2 Heaven!
2-pks are:
The unstoppable duo: Mark V Iron Man and War Machine
The Polarizing duo: Mark IV Iron Man and Whiplash
The HOT duo (wha?): James Rhodes in Mark II Armor and Black Widow
It’s a short clip, but I’m looking forward to what the crew at Marvel comes up with next week!

My set of DC Universe Classics Wave 12 arrived the other day. For now, here’s some packaged pics of the entire wave minus the Spectre glow-in-the-dark chase variant. I’ve liked the packaging redesign since I first saw pictures of it, but having them in hand has made me appreciate it even more.
I noticed after taking the pictures that the trade paperbacks I used to prop my camera up are reflected in some of the package fronts. Oops!
So, as a little contest for a shot at my white-costumed variant Mary Batson, I’ll pick one winner at random from folks who leave a comment on this article that lists out the titles of the TPBs I used as a tripod-substitute. The eligible folks will be the ones who correctly identify the most titles (there’s four in total – 3 comic book TPBs and 1 manual), and I’ll cut off the entries when we post our Mattel coverage for Toy Fair.
Take a close look, add a comment with your guesses, and good luck. And while you’re at it, use the links below this article to subscribe to AFP!
Stay tuned for a closer look at wave 12, coming soon.
