Mezco Reveals Mortal Kombat X Series 2

Lineup includes Quan Chi, Kitana, and Kotal Kahn

When we posted about the pre-order deal for Mezco’s Mortal Kombat X Series 2, we just had teaser images for Quan Chi, Kitana, and Kotal Kahn. With the official pre-order pages for Mortal Kombat X figures going up on the Mezco website today, now we’ve got the full looks at each of the three 6-inch figures.

As of early this morning, the three were still discounted to $19.80 as a special pre-order. The three figures for series 1, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and Raiden, are still available to pre-order at the regular price $22 a piece. Series 1 is due to ship in June, while series 2 is due in November. It has begun!

Mattycollector April Sale is all Masters of the Universe Classics

First shot at exclusive Hover Robots during Early Access

Masters of the Universe Classics is the sole focus for Mattycollector’s April sale, with Princess of Power’s Angella available for day of sales beyond those set aside for Club Eternia subscribers. She-Ravers also get another crack at Glimmer (Club Eternia, April 2014), while Eldor (Club Eternia, October 2014) is back to please the Preternia / Powers of Grayskull fans.

But Club Eternia subscribers get a rare opportunity in Early Access, when the “travelling convention” exclusive Hover Robots 3-pack will be available online for the first time. Judging from previous sales of these exclusives, like Strobo and Goat Man, expect a very quick sell-out at the start. If you miss out, you’ll get more chances throughout the rest of the year.

April’s Early Access starts at 8AM PST tomorrow, and All Access starts at 9AM on Wednesday. Good luck!

Kickstarter Monday: Boss Fight Studio Skeleton and Four Horsemen Ravens Variants [Updated]

These two Kickstarter campaigns are already past their funding stages, but there’s still exciting developments for this week’s Kickstarter update. Boss Fight Studio was at G.I. JOE Con this weekend, but before they left for the show they gave us a first look at one of the most highly anticipated figures of the Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. campaign. And while the Four Horsemen previously completed fulfillment of the Gothitropolis Ravens and are now ramping up for production on Mythic Legions, they have revisited the former and are making two variant birds available through Action Figure Xpress.

Star Wars Movie Posters Recreated in LEGO

With ample time to get us hyped up for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, Disney has made the entire Star Wars movie franchise available to stream or download. You can find all six Star Wars movies at Amazon, Google Play, and iTunes. So whatever ecosystem you’re committed to, the Force is strong in that one.

To celebrate Star Wars being online for the first time ever, LEGO has recreated the posters for each movie. Yes, even the prequels, Anakin and Padme haters! And as a bonus, LEGO has included a poster for their upcoming series on Disney XD. LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales will be retelling the movie saga from the perspectives of C-3P0 and R2-D2, in LEGO form, of course.

Hot Toys Announces Avengers: Age of Ultron War Machine Mark II

Iron Patriot gets a makeover, reclaims the War Machine name

I’ll be surprised if Rhodey gets a lot of screen time armored up as War Machine in Avengers: Age of Ultron. It hasn’t been featured in any of the big action sequences revealed thus far. Despite this, Hot Toys is jumping on the opportunity to make another exclusive Iron Man armor. They can do this because War Machine Mark II looks like it’s a repaint of the Iron Patriot diecast figure from Iron Man 3.

If you’re disappointed Rhodey’s armor didn’t get an upgrade, get ready for a little more. Marvel Studios originally had the War Machine repaint ready to go for IM3, but it ended up on the cutting room floor. So if War Machine has more than a brief cameo in AOU, then they really cheaped out on him. How do I know this? Hasbro had a Marvel Legends War Machine Mark II ready to go to support the Iron Man threequel a couple of years ago. (It hasn’t made it to shelves yet.)

No pre-order up yet, but I’ll be checking Sideshow for War Machine later today. For reference, the Hot Toys Iron Patriot was $309.99 when it was first sold – that figure is waitlisted now.
