Get Matt Fraction’s Hawkguy (aka Marvel Select Avenging Hawkeye) at Marvel.com

If you’re a fan of Matt Fraction’s Hawkguy, now you can own his action figure. The Marvel Select Avenging Hawkeye is available now at Marvel.com. He’s just in time, too – due to delays to the series finale, the figure managed to beat the last issue of the critically-acclaimed Hawkeye, by Fraction, Aja, and Hollingsworth, to the stands.

Hawkguy is loaded with accessories – he comes with a compound bow and crossbow, 6 arrows, hands for gripping and drawing the bowstring, and interchangeable heads (one with sunglasses, one without). But the real prize is Lucky, aka Pizza Dog – the first non-powered, one-eyed pooch to star in his own super hero comic book. Get this figure now, bro!

Now or Never for Club 200X – Last Day to Subscribe

The fate of Mattycollector’s Club 200X will be decided today, as fans of Masters of the Universe Classics have their last opportunity to subscribe. As of last Friday, the sub had climbed to 81% of the total pre-orders needed to ensure all six figures will be made. While it’s possible that it hit 100% over the weekend, we’ve yet to hear from Mattel this morning. If it’s still below the threshold, we could have a long wait, even past closing time tonight, to learn the final outcome.

Weekend Toy Run: Pre-Order the Sideshow DC Green Lantern

The Hot Toys figures from The Dark Knight trilogy got me jonesing for 1/6 scale figures from the DC Comics. And while Play Imaginative’s Super Alloy figures captured my attention for a while, it wasn’t until I got the Batman and Superman from Sideshow Collectibles’ DC line that I found something that really satisfied the itch.

The latest in the line, the DC Comics Green Lantern DC Comics Sixth Scale Figure, is now available to pre-order from Sideshow Collectibles. It’s Hal Jordan, my favorite of the Lanterns, and he comes with interchangeable hands and boots (for standing or flying), a power construct, and lantern.

Heads Up: Marvel Avengers Legends Agents of Shield 3-Pack Exclusive In Stock at ToysRUs.com

If you’ve been on the hunt for Phil Coulson, Nick Fury, and Maria Hill, you’re in luck – the Marvel Legends Agents of Shield 3-pack that’s exclusive to Toys R Us is now in stock. The 3-pack, which could also have been called Directors of Shield, is priced at $49.99, so it qualifies for the TRU free shipping deal.

Considering how prices dropped on the Captain America, Ms. Marvel, and Radioactive Man exclusive at Target, I thought about waiting to order. But I think this might sell a bit more briskly, given the stronger ties to the Agents of Shield TV show and the Avengers movies. Plus, the only repeat here is Nick Fury, who was last available a few years back in the Wal-Mart line. Coulson and Hill have not had figures before and are completely new.

Thanks to Paul again for the heads-up, and happy shopping!

Masters of the Universe Classics Club 200X at 76% and Counting…

Based on the latest update from Skeletor’s Love Child, subscribers have pushed the pre-orders for the 6-figure Club 200X subscription from 50% to 76% over the past week. With five days to go, what seemed insurmountable a week ago now seems achievable. Maybe I was too hasty asking if Club 200X was dead.

What do you think – will it make it? Have you subbed?
