Mego-Styled Lost Figures Available for Pre-Order

The upcoming Mego-styled Lost figures from Bif Bang Pow! are available for pre-order at Entertainment Earth. Series 1 will feature Ben and Kate, and Series 2 will feature Hurley and Locke.  Both sets should be available in August.

I wonder how the retro vibe will work for Lost fans. While there’s time travel in the show, I don’t know if that translates into broad appeal for retro collectibles from the show. In contrast, I am starting to see how it makes sense for a license like Venture Bros., where retro is part of the show’s basic makeup.

DC HeroClix Blackest Night Scarecrow

The HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Kit reveals continue with Scarecrow as a deputy of the Sinestro Corps.  The detail on the new digital sculpts continues to impress.

Fear

Paging Dr. Crane. Paging Dr. Crane. Please report to the DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game.

SCARECROW

Though his fear toxins gave him the ability to instill fear in nearly everyone, long exposure to the chemicals made the Scarecrow himself unable to feel terror–except when he was pursued by Batman. In the wake of the Dark Knight’s death, the Scarecrow was on the brink of despair–until in the Blackest Night the Scarecrow found a new purpose when he was given a yellow power ring and a place in the Sinestro Corps!

The DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game will be in comic and hobby stores on May 12, 2010. The Starter Game includes everything you need to play HeroClix: seven HeroClix figures, the 2010 HeroClix Rulebook, a map (The Oan Sciencells) and more – reserve your copy at your local retailer!

Marvel Select Spider-Man Packaged Pics

Even after reading the description I had a hard time discerning that the base for the upcoming Spider-Man figure is a smashed car.  Seems a little uninspired after seeing the Danger Room base for Cyclops.

Here it is in all it’s final production in package glory, Marvel Select Spider-Man! This figure features a highly detailed sculpt by the one and only Digger. It also features a crazy smashed compact car base. Look for it in comic stores near you soon!

Masters of the Universe Classics Update – 2/16 Sale Date, Wun-Dar, and Battle Cat

Alright – Mattel posted a big update on Facebook. I’ve summarized that here (with the full post following):

  • The February sales date is Tuesday, February 16, *not* February 15 as previously stated.
  • Wun-Dar and the Eternian Map will ship in April, not February.
  • Battle Cat will cost extra to ship, due to weight.
  • Club Eternia subscribers will receive an $8 off promo code for Battle Cat.

I hope there’s not going to be a lot of whining about the promo for Club Eternia members – it makes perfect sense to reward the customers who have committed to a full year of figures, without even knowing in advance what most of those figures would be.

Pawtucket, RI – February 1, 2009 – Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS) announced today the start of a special promotion for its popular TRANSFORMERS toy line and is inviting kids and fans to “Join the N.E.S.T.

N.E.S.T., a secret partnership between the AUTOBOTS and humans dedicated to stopping the DECEPTICONS, was most recently featured in the blockbuster movie TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. Now, by collecting three different stickers included in specially marked TRANSFORMERS products available this spring, kids and fans can join the N.E.S.T GLOBAL ALLIANCE and mail away for a special edition RAVAGE figure not available anywhere else.

The promotion kicks off with the N.E.S.T. ALLIANCE PACK, a special edition 2-pack of new TRANSFORMERS action figures featuring the popular BUMBLEBEE and SOUNDWAVE characters. In addition to the two figures, the N.E.S.T. ALLIANCE PACK includes a N.E.S.T. GLOBAL ALLIANCE Mission Guide and Redemption Form, one starter sticker, and a N.E.S.T. Agent Patch, officially making them part of the alliance. The N.E.S.T. ALLIANCE PACK is the only product in which the Redemption Form is available and is necessary to participate in the promotion. The ALLIANCE PACK is recommended for ages 5 and up and is available for the approximate retail price of $19.99.

Additional stickers are available in specially marked TRANSFORMERS toys at retailers nationwide. Once the necessary three stickers have been collected and placed onto the N.E.S.T. GLOBAL ALLIANCE Redemption form, consumers mail them away to receive their special edition RAVAGE figure. The promotion requires a payment of $4.95 for shipping and handling charges to receive the special edition figure and the offer is good while supplies last. Requests must be postmarked by April 30 and received by May 14.

For more N.E.S.T. action fans can watch online webisodes of “Cyber Missions,” featuring new TRANSFORMERS adventures. “Cyber Missions” finds the AUTOBOTS working with humans in the N.E.S.T. global alliance to defend Earth against the revenge-seeking DECEPTICONS.
