Mattel’s ToyGuru was kind enough to send an early review figure of the upcoming Masters of the Universe Classics Hordak (who goes on sale June 15), and I’ve been slow publishing updates to my collection. So to catch us up, here’s some photos of the recent MOTU Classics releases of Mer-Man and Zodac, with a preview of Hordak.
The Dark Avengers Minimates set will be available both at San Diego Comic-Con and on ToysRUs.com in July.
Toys R Us and Diamond Select Toys today announce a new opportunity for fans across the country to experience the excitement and wonder of San Diego Comic Con as well as to get their hands on the hottest new exclusive featuring the current stars of the Marvel Comics Universe!
Still reeling after the stunning events of the Secret Invasion, the Marvel Universe was turned upside down by the whirlwind success of Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers. With their stolen legacies and costumes deceiving the general public, these new “heroes” have swept the nation along with their message – He Lost. They Won. Accept Change. Now they’re invading your collection with the first Dark Avengers Minimates box set – featuring Norman Osborn as the Iron Patriot, Marvel Boy, Venom as Spider-Man and Daken as Wolverine!
Launching this July, the first-ever Toys R Us San Diego Comic Con exclusive will be available nationwide in the form of the Dark Avengers Minimates! No longer requiring the travel to San Diego, we’re bringing this exclusive set directly to ToysRUs.com for a special event combining the biggest pop culture gathering of the year with the latest exclusive toys and collectibles. Fans lucky enough to attend San Diego Comic Con in person can also pick up this exclusive set by visiting Entertainment Earth’s booth (#2343) on the show floor.
NECA has announced its exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con. They cover the following licenses: Street Fighter 4, Dead Space, Gears of War, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the April O’Neil exclusive previously revealed by Peter Laird), and Coraline.

Note: In light of the economic situation and in gratitude to collectors and fans, NECA is proud to announce that for the sixth consecutive year the prices for our Exclusives will remain the same at the low price of $20 each.
Due to the increased costs of freight and storage at the convention site itself, we’re bringing in smaller edition sizes on all of our exclusives. For those unable to attend the San Diego Comic Con, we will be offering limited quantities online through the NECA store on Amazon.com. Watch for more details closer to the event.
