First Look – DC Universe Classics SDCC 2010 Plastic Man – TheFwoosh.com

There’s been a lot of Mattel news in the past week and a half that started with the announcement that Mattel landed the Voltron license for the upcoming animated series. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out the extremely awesome first look that VeeBee posted on the Fwoosh of the upcoming DC Universe Classics Plastic Man a few days back.

To be perfectly honest, I’m not exactly a big fan of Plas – primarily because when I was first exposed to him, all I really wanted in comics was dark, brooding, angsty stuff. But I do think that this figure delivers all that it possibly could. I’ll definitely be picking him up.

Hot Toys Blade Trinity Abigail Whistler Feature – Milk Magazine

Hot Toys posted a 5-page feature from Hong Kong’s Milk Magazine on its Facebook page. It includes lots of images of the upcoming MMS Abigail Whistler from Blade Trinity that they just announced a few days ago. I’m liking the Jessica Biel likeness even more. Do you think this means we’ll eventually see a Hannibal King / Ryan Reynolds figure from Hot Toys?

DC HeroClix Brightest Day Aquaman and Osiris

With the Blackest Night Heroclix, NECA and WizKids started using digital sculpts to great effect – see their announcements for Mera and Hal Jordan, Lex Luthor, Scarecrow, the Atom, and Wonder Woman.

Now for Brightest Day, they’re following these up with a new seven-figure pack, including Aquaman and Osiris. For this scale, I think these show a lot of detail.

AFTER BLACKEST NIGHT COMES BRIGHTEST DAY! AQUAMAN & OSIRIS

The DC HeroClix Brightest Day Action Pack, available October 2010, is the follow-up product to the highly acclaimed DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game. Tying in with DC Comics hit Brightest Day year-long series, the DC HeroClix Brightest Day Action Pack includes seven highly detailed HeroClix 3D figures ripped directly from the pages of the Brightest Day comic, plus an all-new, double-sided HeroClix map.

Masters of the Universe Classics Chief Carnivus Prototype Pics

If you were here over the weekend and caught our post about Wizard World Philly, then you know that Mattel introduced Chief Carnivus as their September Club Eternia figure for Masters of the Universe Classics. Here are the official pics, I think of the painted 2-up prototype, from Mattel.

I didn’t see a lot of the 200X animated show, so Carnivus is new for me. I’m actually curious as to how he’ll fit in with the Four Horsemen’s Seventh Kingdom figures.
