ThreeA Toys WWRp R.I.P 003 Caesar Up For Pre-Order Now

No sooner than Gimbat hinted in his daily news thread on the 3A forums that the WWRp Bromwich Bertie Mk 3.5 would be coming down from pre-orders soon did 3A put up the next Portable release. The R.I.P 003 Caesar is up on Bambaland for $75 (including shipping).

In the 1/6 scale World War Robot line, the Zero Zero Three was part of an exclusive “father and son” 2-pack with the “young man” version of Darwin Rothchild – in WWR lore, Rothchild is the creator of the robots in World War Robot. However, in this 1/12 scale release, this dual knife-wielding Caesar is on his own. I don’t think 3A has released any version of Rothchild in 1/12 scale yet.

Diamond Select Toys Star Trek Select Mr. Spock Packaged Pics

Eager to see the new Star Trek Select line hit shelves? Our second update from DST shared packaged pics of the first Select offering, Mr. Spock from the original Trek series. BigBadToyStore has his arrival date estimated in May, while Entertainment Earth has him in June. So it should be a matter of weeks.

The packaging sample has two Tricorders in it – I’m not sure if that’s just an error with the sample or if there’s a reason there are two. What do you guys think?

Thundercats Ho! Minimates Box Set and Deals at Action Figure Xpress

Today we’ve got two updates from Diamond Select Toys via the Art Asylum site. First up, we’ve got a new Thundercats Minimates box set arriving this Fall. And if you need a fix for Thundercats now, I also came across some deals at ActionFigureXpress.

Featuring “new” ThunderCats Bengali, Lynx-O, Pumyra and Ratar-O, as well as a non-poseable minifigure of the Berbil named Ro-Bear Bert, this box set is available to all comic shops and specialty store retailers through Diamond Comic Distributors’ Previews catalog. Now available for pre-order, the set will ship in the fall.

The three new ThunderCats in this set – blacksmith Bengali, healer Pumyra and wise, sightless Lynx-O – were introduced in the five-part 1985 movie ThunderCats Ho! as three Thunderans who came to Third Earth in the wake of Thundera’s destruction. Ro-Bear Bert was on of the two Berbils who saved the trio from the doomed planet, and Ratar-O was the Mutant commander who sought to capture them for the evil Mumm-Ra.

Hot Toys Teases the Mandarin from Iron Man 3

Genius, martial artist, and ten rings. ‘Nuff said!

As the Iron Man 3 movie is starting to hit theaters worldwide, Hot Toys is in the process of creating collectible figurines for a number of armors that are introduced in the film. However, armor suits are not the only thing we are working on. A formidable foe of Tony Stark is also on our list!

“Some people call me a terrorist. I consider myself a teacher. Lesson number one: Heroes. There is no such thing.” – The Mandarin.

WebSwipe: Mattel Classic TV Series Batman Julie Newmar Catwoman – Action Figure Insider

Congrats to the folks at AFI, now in their 8th year. This week they kicked off their anniversary celebration with this scoop – the unveiling of the upcoming Julie Newmar Catwoman from Mattel’s Batman line for the 1960’s classic TV show. Catwoman joins Bat’s Rogues Gallery – the Joker (revealed at Meltdown Comics), the Riddler and the Penguin. Two caveats – this is a hand-painted paint master, and the figure has not yet been fully articulated.

Catwoman is the fourth and final major recurring villain that frequently teamed up with fellow evildoers Joker, Penguin, and Riddler, so Mattel is completing a team AND opening up the number of great moments from the series that fans may want to “re- enact” with these figures.

This is the first-ever 6” scale Julie Newmar Catwoman, and the Design Team tells us it was a thrill to finally be able to capture this iconic rendition of the character in plastic!

The Mattel Sculpting Department poured a lot of love and attention into this portrait sculpt, creating MANY different versions over several months as they worked to capture the beauty of Julie Newmar and Catwoman! I think we can all agree that their hard work and attention to detail paid off! Just look at the texture and paint job on that catsuit! It looks like it just popped off your TV screen! All of the likenesses shown for this line have been top notch and the Catwoman figure is no exception. That face sculpt is one of the loveliest that Mattel has ever done.
