Steve Jobs 1/6 Action Figure Available for Pre-Order from legendstoys.jp

When the 3A Toys AP-PEL Caesar was released, I was amazed that a businessman had become enough of a cultural icon to warrant an action figure – even if it was a tablet-toting robot. This 12-inch action figure of Steve Jobs from legendstoys.jp turns it up a notch or two, with its lifelike head sculpt, signature clothing from mock turtleneck down to the New Balance kicks, and sofa and apple accessories.

If you followed this series of posts from the toyhaven blog, it looks like this is an attempt to sell a Steve Jobs figure originally marketed by in icons that was ultimately stopped just yesterday, after pressure from Apple and Steve Jobs’ family. The repackaged figure lists at $199 (with shipping included), double the $99 price that in icons had for it, and swaps out the Apple products (iPhone and iPad) for a 1/6 scaled apple – likely an attempt to stave off more legal hassles from Apple.

Masters of the Universe Classics Ram Man Not for Sale Today

Missing something? If you did not sign up for Club Eternia for 2013 and were hoping to snag the sure-to-be-an-instant-sell-out Masters of the Universe Classics Ram Man today, save your F5 button for another month – Ram Man is delayed. I suppose we should have expected it. After all, our friend Logistics has struck the MOTUC line for four months running now. Maybe it’s time for Mattel to just acknowledge that they’re off by a month now and adjust the schedule accordingly – at least before the next line-up announcement at Toy Fair next month.

What’s left is somewhat tepid sales day in Ram Man’s absence. We’ve got Princess of Power Netossa for Club Eternia, Blue Lantern Saint Walker for Club Infinite Earths, and… hold on, Rorschach is here to save the day for Club Black Freighter (do you mind if I just call it the Watchmen sub from now on?) So, maybe January isn’t so bad after all! Hurm.

For your convenience, here’s the MattyCollector bundle page for January. And if you are a subscriber, here’s the login page for subscriptions. Early access is also available through the top navigation there. Inexplicably, it’s not linked anywhere on the regular MattyCollector page.

Three A Toys 3AA Membership On Sale Today at 8PM EST

3A Toys’ Gimbat posted a summary of the upcoming 3AA membership for 2013 – for the time-zone challenged, it goes on sale at 8PM EST later today. If you’re a fan of 3A, the membership is a great deal. Because 3A puts out high-end collectibles, they do get pricey. With the 15% discount that comes with membership, I’ve ended up saving more than the cost of the membership each of the past couple of years that I’ve been a part of the 3AA Legion. That’s not even including the value of the exclusive figure that comes with membership.

They’ve also teased a collector’s club for Tomorrow Kings. I think I’ll need more details on what that’s all about. With the cost of these figures, I don’t think I could sign up for anything that locks me into purchasing everything in a given line. Not unless I win the lottery.

During last days I answered on so many questions about 3AA 2013 and here is a quick summary, which covers everything and I hope that it’s going to help you guys. If you still have some questions / issues on your mind, please send your email to [email protected]

Sales date and place: January 15th, 9:00AM HK time at www.bambalandstore.com

Duration of the sale: 24 hours

Price: 180USD

What is included: , WWR Blanc Hunter NOM 1/6th scale figure, 3AA NOM T-shirt with bullet container, signed Blanc Hunter print, membership card with your name on it and 15% discount on everything at Bambalandstore and Gallery ThreeA stores for 12 months

Hasbro Iron Man 3 Marvel Legends Series 1 Line-Up Revealed

AFP sponsor BigBadToyStore has revealed the line-up for Iron Man 3 Marvel Legends series 1. At San Diego Comic-Con last July, Hasbro teased us with a single image for an Iron Man wave for Marvel Legends, but I was still surprised at how soon we should be seeing these – BBTS shows them with an estimated arrival date in February. The line-up includes the Classic Horned Iron Man, the Iron Patriot, and the Heroic Age Iron Man. I suspect the horned version will be shortpacked, as BBTS doesn’t have an individual listing for him.

Mattel Reveals Club Black Freighter Watchmen Packaging and Masters of the Universe Classics Snake Face – Video

Rorschach from the DC Comics Watchmen is coming our way on MattyCollector’s January 15 sale as part of the Club Black Freighter subscription, and Toy Guru has just revealed the packaging for it. I think it looks pretty slick, with an outer slip cover and a book-style inner package that looks relatively more friendly for folks who like to play with their action figures and keep the packaging too.

TG also previewed the Masters of the Universe Classics Snake Face, the Snake Man who is scheduled to arrive in April this year. Check out the video for Rorschach and Snake Face, as well as pics of Rorschach and the additional card inserts from his upcoming sales page.
