Hasbro Marvel Masterworks Galactus with Silver Surfer Auction Pics

Because of some of the language Hasbro used promoting its San Diego Comic-Con exclusive version of the Marvel Universe Galactus, I had been concerned that maybe the Devourer of Worlds was going to be limited to the Con. But at the Hasbro Marvel Panel, they did confirm that Galactus would be hitting retail shelves in October.

In line with that timing, we’ve got an auction for the retail version at Yahoo Auctions Hong Kong. I’m hoping to get the Marvel Ultimate Alliance variant, but am not sure if it will be introduced as a running change, retailer exclusive, or at the same time as the comics version.

Thanks to henryiny2k for the pointer.

Ghostbusters Winston Zeddemore 12-Inch Figure Video Preview

VeeBee is a huge Ghostbusters fan, and in our interviews with Mattel at San Diego Comic-Con (which VeeBee is busy transcribing) we talked a little about the 12-inch Ghostbusters figures and how cool the packaging is.

Of course, I couldn’t justify adding another 12-inch line to my already-busting-at-the-seams collection, so I had to take their word for it. But this video preview of the upcoming Winston figure showed me what I’ve been missing. Pretty cool stuff!

New Video of Ghostbusters™ Packaging Mural

Ghostbusters™ Fans,

So you know we’ve got Winston Zeddemore™ on sale on Monday, August 16th, right? What you may not know is that when you put his package side-by-side with the rest of the team’s packaging, it creates a sweet mini-mural featuring the rooftop scene from the first film! Check out this video that gives a full demo of Winston and his accessories, and get your first official look at the mural.

You’ll need all four 12” figures to make the mural. You can get Winston Zeddemore™ on August 16th here on MattyCollector.com, and keep your eye on this spot for info about possible re-releases!

Vote for Shaggy Man in the 2010 DC Universe Fan Choice Poll

If you were wondering where the Toyfare poll for the 2010 DC Universe Fan Choice was, you’re probably in good company – it was nowhere to be found on the revamped Wizard World / Toyfare site. But thanks to you favorite search engines, I found the poll, which for the first time is to pick the Collect & Connect figure, for DC Universe Classics wave 20.

Out of the choices available, the smart money is on Nekron – he was the big bad in the recent ultra-popular Blackest Night miniseries, and anything Lantern-related is hot right now, with the potential Green Lantern blockbuster movie starring Ryan Reynolds due out next summer. If Mattel was a risk-taking company (they’re not), they would probably be tooling up old Nekron as we speak.

But I want us to show Mattel that we can make the unexpected, better choice. So I’m making an impassioned plea to you, to vote for Shaggy Man in the DC Universe Fan Choice Poll for 2010.

NECA Announces Assassin’s Creed II Ezio Figures

Robokillah picked the Square Enix version of Ezio for the Fwoosh Best of SDCC article, but if he was looking for less expensive alternatives to the Hot Toys Ezio, NECA may have just the figures.

A Real Renaissance Man

NECA’s got an Ezio for every taste

Assassin’s Creed II is one of our favorite action games ever, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to show off our two new figures of the main character, Ezio!

He might be the most enduring game nobleman since Simon Belmont, and in ACII, Ezio Auditore da Firenze is inhabited by Desmond Miles, who lives out genetic memory in Renaissance Italy from the future via the Animus 2.0. Sounds complicated, and it is, but what it rounds out to is one of the coolest and most intricate games ever, and the winner of Best Action Game at the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards.

Our figure of this highly requested fan favorite stands 7” tall and has over 20 points of articulation. Ezio is available in two different versions, Standard or Black, and each figure features retractable wrist blades and intricate, game-accurate costume design and detail.

Ezio is set to feature in the next sequel to Assassins Creed, dubbed Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, which is due November 12, 2010 from Ubisoft, and our assortment of figures ships in September and of course will also be featured on our Amazon storefront.

McFarlane Announces Halo: Reach Warthog and Ghost Vehicles

I’ve been jonesing for the Warthog ever since McFarlane made the Mongoose set. I never got past the second game in the Halo franchise, but the Reach Warthog is close enough for me. Very cool!

Video Game Vehicles Drive into Stores This Fall

You’ve seen Halo: Reach Series 1, from the Comic-Con exclusive to the full assortment. You’ve seen the single figures, the two-packs, and the four-pack. But there are still two items Reach fans have been waiting to see: the most popular UNSC vehicle and the most iconic Covenant vehicle. That’s right — it’s time to reveal the Warthog and the Ghost. Enjoy the photos!

Warthog with Light Anti-Aircraft Gun
As recognizable as Master Chief himself, the UNSC Warthog has been featured in every Halo game. This large, Jeep-like vehicle can carry up to three five-inch Halo figures into battle. This version features the classic Light Anti-Aircraft Gun turret. Play action includes rolling wheels, turning steering wheel, spinning gun turret, and elevating Light Anti-Aircraft Gun.

Ghost Rapid Assault Vehicle
The Ghost vehicle has been in every Halo game, and is a definite fan-favorite. This small, one-man enemy vehicle is the perfect antagonist for the Warthog deluxe vehicle. Features pivoting nose guns, moving wing flaps, rotating grip controls, and a sliding seat to accommodate figures of various sizes.

Halo: Reach Series 1 Vehicles will be in stores everywhere by October.
