Hot Toys Marvel Movie Masterpiece Logan from X-Men Origins: Wolverine

MarvelousNews.com has posted pictures of the final prototype for the Hot Toys Marvel Movie Masterpiece Logan from X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I think the head sculpt and paint apps are much improved since the first teaser image we saw back in June.

Medicom VCD Gohan with Variant Piccolo Head

I knew I was on a slippery slope when I picked up the Medicom Real Action Heroes Dragonball Z Goku and Piccolo, regardless of how good of a deal I got at the time. So when I learned that Medicom would be making a VCD (that stands for Vinyl Collectible Dolls, but I can’t bring myself to put “Dolls” in the title of this article) Gohan, and that it would be coming with an alternate head for the RAH Piccolo, I admitted defeat.

Sideshow is importing the Gohan VCD, but when I asked, they told me that the package they are carrying does not include the Piccolo head. So off to Ebay I went, paying big international prices and shipping. I feel dirty.

DC Universe Classics Gotham City 5 Now Hitting Wal-Mart

The DC Universe Classics Gotham City 5 has been found at a couple of Wal-Marts in Houston. The 5-pack, which is exclusive to Wal-Mart, includes:

a new Lex Luthor in his iconic purple and green jumpsuit,
Superman from the Braniac / Superman 2-pack but with normal eyes,
Batman from the Batman / Clayface 2-pack but without the mud splatters,
Two-Face from DCSH with new paint deco, and
and Catwoman from DCSH with new paint deco.

I’ve got no explanation why it’s called the Gotham City 5.

elmeaux from TheFwoosh.com snapped some pretty good pictures. You can see the entirety of them in this post: DCUC Walmart 5 pack released.

Marvel Legends 2-Packs – Alien Armies – Skrull Soldier and Kree Soldier

Before I get into the review, I wanted to share with you that I discovered today that I have too many toys just sitting around. Many of you know that I don’t have a lot of shelf space. I had thought I rectified this by putting up new shelving unit cubes recently, in place of the two big plastic containers that I affectionately called “Staging Area One.” The problem is that everything in Staging Area One (and on top of it) had to go somewhere. So for now, they’re in little canvas “drawers” that fit into the cubes. It’s still completely disorganized.

The worst part is that I can’t start setting up figures on my shelves, because my wife wants to replace the carpet – meaning everything, including the shelving units I just assembled and stacked, will have to come out. My reason for telling this story? I wanted you to know why I couldn’t find the original Super Skrull for comparison, and why Ronan the Accuser is without his Universal Weapon.

Ok, let’s get into this, my third of three reviews on the new (kind of) Marvel Legends 2-packs that are hitting shelves now. Previously, I reviewed SHIELD Leaders with Maria Hill and Iron Man, and Ninjas vs. Super Spies with Hand Ninja and Nick Fury. This 2-pack, entitled Alien Armies, contains a Skrull Soldier and a Kree Soldier – time to army build!

First, here’s the packaged pictures from the Marvel Universe Covers Contest.
