DC Direct August Solicitations

I hope we’ll see a lot of this and more at San Diego Comic-Con. Here’s DC Direct’s August previews for items that will arrive oh so far away, in March next year. If you thought you were going to get some respite from Blackest Night figures, you are – but if the sales do well then we’ll be buried in Brightest Day figures.

UltSwd. GL.SN.jpgULTIMATE SHOWDOWN: GREEN LANTERN VS. SINESTRO STATUE SET

DESIGNED & SCULPTED BY TIM BRUCKNER

The Ultimate Showdown series is DC Direct’s unique, new interactive concept for high-quality collectible statues featuring the world’s greatest heroes and villains squaring off in deadly combat.

Green Lantern delivers a green energy blast to Sinestro, as the Corps’ arch-nemesis burns with yellow fire.

Each character is displayed on a specially designed stand-alone base intended to “interact” with the other statues in the series and to be displayed in a myriad of ways. The statues can pivot independently on their bases and rotate their heads to customize and direct the action. Collect all the other statue sets in the series! Mix and match them to create your own showdown or combine them all in one ultimate battle scene.

These hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain statues measure approximately:

  • Green Lantern: 7.35” high x 4.5” wide x 5.25” deep
  • Sinestro: 8” high x 4.5” wide x 5” deep

Each set is packaged together in a 4-color box.

Limited Edition.

On sale March 16, 2011 * Statue * $175 US

Hot Toys Announces Licenses for the Expendables, TRON, Resident Evil and More

All of these should be great, but the Expendables seems like it’s right in Hot Toys’ wheelhouse. I also wonder if we’ll see some innovation with the TRON license, since electronics seems a natural fit.

I hope both these movies kick some ass!

New licenses for the second half year of 2010!

We are proud to present the new licenses for the second half year of 2010!

WWRp Nom de Plume Stop Motion Video at Beijing Gathering

Seeing Talyn’s Most Wanted list for San Diego Comic-Con reminded me that I hadn’t checked the quite useful news thread that Gimbat compiles daily at the 3A Toys forum in a while. It was there that I found the link to this short but sweet video of the WWRp Nom de Plume, at the 3A Toys Beijing Gathering from a few weeks ago.

Coincidentally, I’ve got a guest review of the WWRp Nom de Plume that’s in the works – I’m not sure if I’ll be able to post it before the craziness of San Diego Comic-Con starts, but stay tuned!

Iron Man Armors and Avatar AMP Suit To Be Displayed at San Diego Comic-Con

When Talyn saw the Propworx Iron Man Movie Prop Auction at C2E2 a couple months back, I was hoping to see some Iron Man armors at San Diego Comic-Con. And look at that! Profiles in History will have some of the actual suits worn by Robert Downey, Jr. and Jeff Bridges in Iron Man, as well as the big AMP suit worn by Stephen Lang in James Cameron’s Avatar.

In addition, they’ll be hosting a tribute to Stan Winston. Cool stuff!
