Mattel WWE Pay Per View Survivor Series and Royal Rumble

Mattel released two updates on its Facebook page regarding its WWE Pay Per View series of figures. They released pictures of the first PPV lineup from the 2009 Survivor Series. These figures will hit in March.

They also announced that the Royal Rumble will be the next series of Pay Per View figures, and are conducting a fan poll to gather input on who we want in the lineup. The Survivor Series figures had a four month gap between the PPV and the planned shelf date. Does this mean we could we see Royal Rumble figures as early as May?

First Look – Walmart Exclusive DC Universe Classics 2-Packs – ToyNewsI.com

TNI has posted several pictures of the upcoming Walmart exclusive 2-packs featuring Aquaman / Black Manta and Batman / Robin, all with new paint decos. I like that they’re reissuing the hard-to-find Aquaman, and with a very cool metallic set of scales. And fans of the Super Friends will get a Black Manta in the blue color scheme from the cartoon.

I’m not too keen on the Batman and Robin set. We’ve had too many Batmen using the original Detective Batman body (yes it’s the Public Enemies belt, but the glove and boot ridges give it away, plus the already smallish head would be even more pinheaded). And the Tim Drake red and green Robin costume has so many details that are off because Mattel used the unmodified original sculpt. I understand the need to reuse, but I think this set needed a little more to make it worthwhile to collectors.

Hot Toys MMS Blade II Available in Hong Kong

The Hot Toys MMS Blade II has arrived in Hong Kong, and the final head sculpt looks fantastic. Take a look back at the press pics.

A real Blade arrives!

Blade is coming in real! The final head sculpture, with more prominent facial features, movie-accurate eye and facial expression, fine wrinkles, frown and moustache, further illustrates his likeness. The signature tattoo at the back also stands out his fierceness! Equipped with the detailed costume, accessories and weapons, he is now going to hunt even more vampires!
