News and press releases from toy manufacturers and our sponsors
We highlighted the Batman Demon and Scarecrow set and the Michael Jackson “Beat It” exclusives when they were first announced. These exclusive Hot Toys releases will be available in about a week’s time, at the “1/6th Scale Renaissance Decade” exhibition being held in Tokyo, Japan, from December 24 – 26.

Diamond Select Toys showed off the Thor Movie Minimates 2-packs the other day, and here’s some singles. I try not to follow the movie news, so I’m not sure if this is another costume for Loki or another Asgardian god. Balder? And the older guy in the suit, no idea there. I think it’s neat that the Frost Giants can be army builders, but these are all 2-inch Minimates, right?
Thor Movie Minimates single packs
Available in addition to the Thor Movie Minimates 2 packs is this assortment of single pack figures. Perfect for army building!
About a month ago, the Four Horsemen revealed the plethora (“Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?”) of variants for the Fantastic Exclusive Gothitropolis Scarabus. And over the past couple weeks, they’ve been revealing various interchangeable face plates and heads that will come with these variants
It might be that the variants that come with the Egyptian-styled headset will get variant Scarabus face plates, while the ones that are full heads – the goat, ram, and the two guardsmen – will come with full Scarabus heads. This is all yet to be revealed. Regardless, there’s going to be a lot of opportunities to mix and match with this set up – should be fun!
Check out the nearly daily updates on the Four Horsemen’s website.
Wow. This is great timing for this announcement. With Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in heavy cable rotation right now, I’ve been jonesing (honestly, no pun intended) for some Indy toys. With the DX designation, I think it means we’ll be getting a PERS (parallel eyeball rolling system) version of Indy, with a ton of accessories too.
DX also usually means multiple outfits – I wonder if we’ll see an Egyptian or Nazi outfit.
Throw me the idol! I’ll throw you the whip!

In Minimates format, these guys look fine to fit in with my comics-based Marvel Minimates – and that Destroyer is just like his comics counterpart. I am guessing that’s SHIELD Agent Phil Coulson (who appeared in the Iron Man movies) in the back.
