New Mattel Superman: Man of Steel Figures Revealed – BigBadToyStore

Online retailer BigBadToyStore has listed new Superman: Man of Steel Movie Masters figures from Mattel, revealing a new character and two variants for the line-up. Included in the assortment are Faora, an armored General Zod, and Superman with chains and key. I purposefully have not been following the movie news, but was a bit surprised that the new character wasn’t Ursa. I’m not that knowledgeable when it comes to Superman lore, and don’t have any recollection of a character named Faora from the comics or the previous movies – but I’m not going to Google her now, for risk of spoiling myself for the movie that opens June 14th.

It’s not clear whether this is a second wave of figures or if these will ship with the Man of Steel figures previously shown – BBTS has them listed all with a 2nd quarter ship date.

ThreeA Toys Reveals Ascended Blind Cowboy Chase and the Sock Puppet Origin

The 3A Toys Dead Equine Super Set pre-order is live on Bambaland now, but if you want some practice hitting F5 to refresh your browser, you can go after the White Ascended Cowboy chase figure, to be pre-sold as a single figure in extremely limited quantities for $120. This chase will come with all of the weapons of the Shadow Slinger version, and also come with a severed robot head. He’ll be available in batches throughout the remainder of the sale, which should close up shop around 9PM EST today.

Ashley Wood also shared a couple panels on how the red sock puppet that will come in the Dead Equine set is tied into the Blind Cowboy. The comic will be included with the set, as well as a collectible poster. Really looking forward to this one. Happy shopping!

Mattel Announces San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive DC Universe Man of Steel 2-Pack

During SDCC last year, where we saw an 8-inch Death and a Bruce Wayne to Batman figures, Mattel’s DC team hinted that they would return to figures with more mass appeal for the big show this year. Looks like they are making good with the DC exclusive they announced today – a Superman vs. Zod 2-pack from Man of Steel.

Not much in the way of pics, which will be revealed closer to the show, but I expect that we’ll see some deco variants on the Man of Steel Superman and General Zod figures that were revealed near the start of the year. Maybe some heat vision eyes on Supes? How about some battle damage? Could be anything at this point, but I’m looking forward to it.

Also revealed today, a Hot Wheels Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper, to accompany the Cylon Raider announced yesterday. Good stuff!

DC Man of Steel™ Movie Masters® Superman™ vs. General Zod Movie Pack

This 2-pack brings to life the super charged battle between two powerful Kryptonians, Superman™ and the General Zod, an exciting diorama set in the city of Metropolis! The package features lights that simulate Superman’s Heat Ray vision, and shows off the Kryptonian’s super strength and flying ability. The diorama is completed with sound effects to help bring the scene to life. Full image will be available on 6/17.

This product will be available for pre-order at MattyCollector.com on June 4, 2013, to be picked up at San Diego Comic-Con (details to come). It will also be available for purchase at the show, then at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2013.

Hot Toys Announces Third Iron Man Diecast – the War Machine Mark II

I guess we’re going to continue to see a lot of Iron Man news this week. Here’s the third armor to hit the new Diecast line from Hot Toys – the Mark II War Machine. The Mark II feels a lot sleeker than the original War Machine (pictured here with the Hot Toys Iron Monger), but in diecast form will only come with a few sets of hands as accessories – although Hot Toys continues to promote interchangeable parts with the MMS and Power Pose lines. To offset the notion that diecast won’t be as poseable as the traditional MMS figures, Hot Toys has included some pictures showing some of the poses possible – pretty impressive.

Hot Toys also showed off a smaller holographic War Machine slug which will have some exclusivity based on geography – they also did one for the Avengers Iron Man Mark VII, and that one was limited to the Sideshow exclusive version of the Mark VII (waiting list only now).

Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VII Disassembled

Ever wondered how many parts are required to make a Hot Toys Iron Man figure? This is an extremely cool picture of an Avengers Iron Man Mark VII figure in its pre-assembled state, with its more than 300 individual parts. One piece that’s missing though is the head sculpt of RDJ – I guess a disembodied head might be a bit macabre.

Don’t worry – if you get this figure (you can still pre-order the Iron Man Mark VII from Sideshow with expected delivery in May) you won’t have to build it yourself, although I’m sure there are some model builders out there who would relish the challenge. This exploded view of the figure is just a display piece at the Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Collectible Figurines Exhibit at Action City in Singapore. If you happen to be close by, the exhibit is open through May 5th.
