Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Polaris, Strong Guy, and Forbush Man

For this edition of Border Patrol, we’ve got three Marvel Legends customs that have varying degrees of possibilities to see plastic form from Hasbro. From most to least:

Marvel Legends Polaris by IslandToybox – Polaris is one of the most popular of the X-Men who hasn’t seen a figure in the Legends line – she is regularly at the top of the most wanted lists, so maybe Hasbro will get the hint – ends Friday, March 6 at 5:35PM PST
Marvel Legends Strong Guy by callan-86 – X-Factor’s Strong Guy is a possibility in either the Build-a-Figure format or using one of the larger body types that Hasbro has developed – but he probably doesn’t have enough mojo outside of X-Factor fandom to get his own figure – ends Friday, March 6 at 8:39PM PST
Marvel Legends Forbush Man by Kustom Novelty Workz – let’s face it, as much as you and I may love Forbush Man, it’d take a miracle to see Hasbro make an official one in the Legends line – available via Buy It Now or Best Offer

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

Kickstarter Monday: Four Horsemen Mythic Legions Kickstarter Fully Funded and Hits All Stretch Goals

Doubling up on stretch goals and lowering their funding targets has worked – over the weekend the Four Horsemen’s Mythic Legions Kickstarter project hit the minimum threshold for funding the production of the line, and then it proceeded to hit the targets for the remaining stretch goals. That means all of the champions and army builders that were originally announced, plus the additions of the Bog Goblin and Malleus (another skeleton champ) will get made.

The Four Horsemen, who were on the west coast this weekend for the Long Beach Comic Expo, have still to reveal Azhar and Zazhar, the two figures who were unlocked when the last stretch goal was hit. I’m hoping that with 9 days left in the campaign, they have a few more figures in mind that they can add as another stretch goal, to keep the momentum going.

Weekend Toy Run: Spider-Man Marvel Legends Hobgoblin Wave at Amazon

The latest wave of Marvel Legends, featuring a Spider-Man theme with a Hobgoblin build-a-figure, is now available to pre-order at Amazon. Each of the figures is available individually for $21.99 with a March 25 release date, and can qualify for free 2-day Prime shipping.

You can also pre-order a case of the Hobgoblin wave at Entertainment Earth for the best per figure price, but that will leave you with an extra Spider-Man and Anti-Venom. Or you can pre-order a set at BigBadToyStore – no leftovers, but it’s a higher per figure price than Amazon and you pay shipping on top of that.

See more of Spidey Legends (aka The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Marvel Legends Infinite Series) in our Marvel Legends report and Marvel Legends video fly-bys from Toy Fair. And thanks to our good friend Paul for once again giving us the heads-up. Happy shopping!

Watch Robot Chicken – Giving Bats a Ride

Need a laugh today? Watch Batman ask Green Lantern to “Pimp My Ride” as the Mego Justice League fights the DC Universe Classics Chemo, in this classic clip from Robot Chicken.

Now admit that this could be a better Justice League than Zack Snyder can pull together for the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie. 😀

Threezero Breaking Bad Heisenberg Up For Pre-Order Now

I was really impressed with Buzzy Fret’s pics of the threezero Game of Thrones Tyrion Lannister. If the imp is representative of what threezero can do, then this 1/6 scale Heisenberg will be an indispensable part of your (and my) Breaking Bad collection. I’ve seen a number of custom Walter Whites in 1/6 scale and thought it was a great opportunity for someone to pick up the license – I’m glad it’s threezero. They’ve got the manufacturing chops to do the figure justice, and with the quality of sculpt and paint work we’re seeing from them, I’m bullish that this will turn out great.

To top it off, Heisenberg is coming with a bunch of accessories (more than the imp and Michonne’s pets from Walking Dead), including his hat, glasses, sunglasses, gun, stacks of cash, and more. You can pre-order at threezero’s store for $150 or from Entertainment Earth for $139.99. That’s an exceptional value for this figure – Jesse Pinkman must be in charge of the pricing there.
