DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game Lex Luthor redefines “power suit.”

LEX LUTHOR

Since childhood, Lex Luthor refused to let anything stand between him and what he desired. Though born to wealth and status, Luthor wanted always wanted more, building a path to power paved with suspicions, accusations, and corpses. In the Blackest Night, Luthor refused to aid past allies and strived only to save himself and what belonged to him–proving himself the perfect candidate for a greed-fueled orange power ring!

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!

Bif Bang Pow! Venture Bros. Figures will be Mego-Styled

In a broad announcement yesterday, Bif Bang Pow! announced that it will be partnering with EMCE Toys to produce retro-styled action figures across its licenses, including the Venture Bros. EMCE Toys makes licensed reproductions of the original Mego toys and packaging, and also creates new toys based on the style of toys in the ’70s and ’80s. EMCE was cofounded by Paul “Dr. Mego” Clarke, and is also currently working with Mattel on their Retro-Action DC Super Heroes line.

For those keeping track, the first wave of the Venture Bros. line was revealed in an Adult Swim Bump – it will include Dr. Venture, Brock, the Monarch, Hank, and Dean.

I asked Jason Lenzi from Bif Bang Pow! if they plan to produce Venture Bros. figures in other styles, and he said that it will depend on the support the line gets. The concept as discussed with Venture Bros. creator Jackson Publick at San Diego Comic-Con last year was for figures with a “retro” vibe, as that would fit best with the show. But they’re keeping their options open. Lenzi says, “we’ve got the license for a long time, and fully plan on exploring all scales of action figures. Including vehicles! Stay tuned!!”

We should have plenty of pics of the prototypes when we hit up Toy Fair in a couple of weeks.

DC Heroclix Blackest Night Mera and Hal Jordan

A couple of weeks ago I saw some Marvel Heroclix at Toys R Us – these were the first Heroclix toys I’ve seen at retail since NECA acquired WizKids and the Heroclix licenses, and it was good to see some new stuff. But the announcement of a Blackest Night Starter Kit promises some great things to come. They’ll be announcing figures all week, and the reveal of Mera as a Red Lantern is sure to generate some rage in the collector community.

I’m not a collector of these, but I do appreciate the level of detail that NECA is achieving with these now – this starter kit will feature figures sculpted digitally, with great results.

Rage

DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game previews continue with Mera!

Queen of Atlantis and wife to Aquaman, Mera rallied her people in the wake of a planetwide crisis and became the leader of a rebel army determined to take vengeance for the destruction of Atlantis and the death of Aquaman. After the battle was won, she agreed to have the body of Aquaman moved to Atlantis…only to find he had risen from the grave as a Black Lantern. The desecration of the man she loved ignited a new fury in Mera, leading her to the front lines of the battle against the Black Lanterns and the Blackest Night…and earning her a place in the rage-powered Red Lantern 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 Cyclops with Danger Room Base Press Pics

I hope that the Danger Room base that is coming with the Marvel Select Cyclops (and the follow-on bases that Diamond Select Toys keeps teasing) proves out the concept that connecting bases would be a great pack-in for an action figure line. Just don’t call it Build-A-Diorama.

Marvel Select Cyclops Update!

By now you should have seen the upcoming Marvel Select Cyclops figure and his amazing Danger Room base, but as always this Marvel Select release has more than meets the eye! While the traditional Silver Age Cyclops will be the most readily available version (the recently released Silver Age Marvel Girl is glad to hear that!) – there will also be an alternate X-Factor Cyclops included in each case (that makes 4 Silver Age Cyclops and 2 X-Factor Cyclops).

The only way to get your grubby little X-paws on the variant Cyclops is to purchase a full case through Previews though, so make sure your retailer of choice knows that they need to add this figure to their order form.
