Hasbro Iron Man Legends Series 2 Pre-Order Available on AmiAmi.com – Arrives in April

The second wave of Iron Man Legends that Hasbro revealed at Toy Fair is scheduled to arrive in late April, according to Japanese online retailer AmiAmi.com. They have “provisional” pre-orders (meaning that they may not be able to fulfill all of them depending on how much product they’ll be able to get) for the Mark 42 armor of Iron Man, the movie version of Iron Patriot, and Ultron. The late April date makes sense, since it aligns nicely with the May 3 opening of Iron Man 3, but I haven’t yet seen pre-orders go up at US online retailers like AFP sponsor BigBadToyStore, for example.

If you are still looking for series one of Iron Man Legends (with the Heroic Age / Bleeding Edge IM, comic Iron Patriot, and classic horned Iron Man), it looks like Amazon sold through their allotment, although you can still get them from other retailers selling through them – search for Iron Man Legends on Amazon. BigBadToyStore still has sets of Iron Man Legends series 1 for $49.99.

ThreeA Toys to Collaborate with Marvel Comics on Re-Imagined 1/6 Scale Action Figure Line

3A Toys is making Marvel Comics 1/6 scale action figures? For me, it’s a dream and a nightmare. I can’t wait to see what Ashley Wood comes up with for his re-imagined versions of Marvel heroes and villains, but I also pity my wallet and my ability to delay gratification. I hope 3A doesn’t stray too far from the classic looks of its characters. They’re a natural for any armored or mech characters (but really, how many 1/6 collectors already have a ton of Iron Man figures?) but I’d want to see how they can handle clothing apps for spandex – not quite the same thing as boiler suits and cargo pants.

One thing that could get me feeling lukewarm on these is if 3A uses its very unique style for its human head sculpts. Right now I can’t see that meshing too well with Marvel. Still – can’t wait to see some of these come to life!

ThreeA Toys World War Robot JEA Meat is Murder Super Set on Sale Today 2/21 at 8PM EST

I’m kind of glad I got into the 1/6 scale with 3A Toys kind of late. I don’t have any of the bots in the scale (although I have gone a little crazy in the 1/12 Portable scale) and I think my wife would pull a little Meat is Murder on me if I started now. I just spent a hefty chunk of change on the AP Ten Finger Gang (which oddly has 11 figures) and the AP Tomorrow Queen sets, as well as an unexpected WWRp Medic Grunt and Square.

For the timezone challenged, the WWR JEA Meat is Murder set goes on sale today at 8PM EST on bambalandstore.com. Semper Fi, JEA Marines!

Now on to Meat is Murder (JEA ASSAULT CREW), which will go up for pre-order on February 22nd 9:00AM Hong Kong time at Bambalandstore. It’s biggest WWR set yet and it’s going to cost: 530 USD shipped worldwide. It’s surely ain’t cheap, but that’s the best we can do for such a massive set. It was coming for pre-order a long time (with first photo teased on June 1st 2011) , it’s an insane & crazy set, which will probably only us will do, as it includes FIVE 1/6th scale figures: Dropcloth, Grunt, MK1 & MK2 Squares and Armstrong.

Hasbro Reveals Two New Disney Exclusive Star Wars Sets for Star Tours

Disney’s acquisition of LucasArts didn’t pique my attention all that much. I think my Star Wars excitement hit its pinnacle when the Original Trilogy was rereleased in theaters in advance of the Prequels – and declined steadily with the release of each subsequent movie. But it’s increasing pretty steadily – the announcement of solo movies on top of Episode VII, the introduction of the Hasbro Star Wars Black Series of 6-inch Star Wars figures, and J.J. Abrams taking the director’s chair has helped a lot.

Not being a 4-inch Star Wars collector, these exclusive sets aren’t on my most wanted list – but I do feel a hankering to ride Star Tours again…
