Too Early to Predict Flash TV Figure from DC Collectibles?

DC Comics has been teasing Barry Allen’s Flash costume from its upcoming WB Flash pilot, and I’ve got to believe that DC Collectibles is working on an action figure version. With the Flash spinning off from Arrow (now in its third season), would it be too much of a gamble for DCC to start work on a figure?

While it may be premature to predict success for another Flash TV show (the Jon Wesley Shipp Flash lasted just one season), a Flash action figure could find its way into DC Collectibles’ Arrow line of figures, should the series not take off on its own. Green Arrow and Deathstroke will survive their transition from comics to small screen to action figures, and I think the Flash could too. Are you guys excited for this new version of the Flash?

Hot Toys Announces Black Widow from Captain America: The Winter Soldier

That didn’t take long – right after Hot Toys teased their upcoming Winter Soldier figures, they’ve announced their Black Widow from the upcoming Cap movie. This will be the third Black Widow from Hot Toys. The first was the long-haired Black Widow from Iron Man 2. The second was a shorter-haired but still curly version from the Avengers.

I think this straight-haired version sports the best likeness for ScarJo yet – but too close to the real thing means a somewhat vacant stare. With two previous figures, Hot Toys is keeping this basic with a dual pistols, a few sets of hands, and another pair of wrist shooters – I hope this means she’ll actually use them in this movie! You can pre-order the newest Hot Toys Black Widow at Sideshow Collectibles for $189.99.

Hot Toys Teases Captain America: The Winter Soldier Figures – Is the Falcon Coming?

Hot Toys teased its upcoming figures for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. As might be expected, we’ll eventually be seeing Cap in his regular and Super Soldier costumes, an updated Black Widow with straight hair, and the Winter Soldier. But they also re-posted Marvel’s Falcon movie poster. Is that his backpack in the teaser?

“Gear up. It’s time.” Marvel Studios’ upcoming blockbuster – Captain America: The Winter Soldier will be hitting the theatres worldwide in just a few weeks. Hot Toys is preparing a range of collectibles from the movie and will also be hosting exhibitions in a number of countries in the near future.

Time to Form the Human Resistance – PH-42 Heralds the Rise of the Machines

I received a strange message the other day, from a robot named PH-42. Apparently, the machines have become sentient, and they are coming to destroy us. But we’re getting an out – if we help to build their robot army by purchasing one or more of their vinyl counterparts, we will be spared their upcoming onslaught.

Well, I’ve got news for you, PH-42 – we don’t negotiate with terrorists, not even robot terrorists from another planet. See, I’ve got a plan. I will purchase one or more of you, re-program you, and then send you back in time to protect my younger self. But only after I send my best friend back in time to impregnate my mother with me. Then I’ll be back. Wait, what?
