On Sale Now: ThreeA Toys Seamonkey and Snowpea

In my excitement over the announcement of the Invincible Iron Man pre-order from the 3A Toys and Marvel collaboration, I nearly forgot about this pre-order for another 3A collaboration – this time between Ashley Wood and Kenny Wong, for Seamonkey and Snowpea. If you’re looking for a backstory for these characters, I won’t be able to help. All I can tell you is that Kenny Wong’s Seamonkey, the steampunk-looking diving suit, was shown back in 2009 at Hong Kong Venture (an art show hosted by 3A). Shortly after, 3A announced they would produce Seamonkey as part of their Showcase line, which houses the lines that aren’t Ashley Wood’s IP. (While Showcase works with independent artists, it also holds the Marvel license.) Ash’s contribution to this collab is Snowpea, Seamonkey’s bikini-clad pilot.

But you don’t really care about all that, do you? I mean, it’s a robot diving suit with a babe pilot. It’s in 1/12 scale so that mech suit is huge. Up now at Bambaland, you can pre-order Seamonkey and Snowpea as a set for $230 and three color variant pilots, individually for $45 each. The pilots come with two heads – masked and unmasked. The pre-order window opened last night – not sure how long it will stay up.

NECA Returns to the Planet of the Apes this Summer

We knew that NECA had picked up the license for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, but somehow missed that they’ve also got the rights for the classic films. They’ve shared two teasers so far of the classic line to arrive this summer. The Dr. Zaius shown is the paint master.

I’m wondering if this means we’ll be getting figures of Taylor or Nova, and not just those damn, dirty apes.

ThreeA Toys Invincible Iron Man Planned for Pre-Order in Mid-February

It’s been almost a year since 3A Toys announced that they would be collaborating with Marvel on a line of re-imagined Marvel heroes and villains. Since then we’ve seen some teaser pics for Iron Man with an initial plan to put him up for pre-order in December last year – that obviously passed, likely due to the approval process with Marvel. Looks like the pre-order is right around the corner, in the first couple of weeks of February.

The Invincible Iron Man is in 1/6 scale. He’s fully articulated – normally exposed joints (like in the elbows and knees) are hidden by soft PVC. LEDs will light up his eyes and his ARC reactor. Available individually or in a four-pack, 3A has not yet shared any info on pricing. Hopefully the Marvel licensing fees don’t push the prices up too much.

Q: You are probably asked a lot…but what about Iron Man and when we might see it at Bamba?

A: Well first week of Feb is Bambastark week, or around then, but its REALLY CLOSE, there are four variants, Classic, Silver Centurian, Stark Industries Prototype and the Stealth! Prototype is 3AA only as a single, or available in the mega 4 pack display box edition.

Four Horsemen Announce Delay to Kickstarter Gothitropolis Ravens – But Looks to be Worth It

We’d heard from the Four Horsemen that there were some issues with the sizing of the Gothitropolis Ravens and were expecting some delays to come from that. They’ve just announced that they expect it to be about a 2 month delay. Originally targeted at March, this would mean May at the soonest.

I continue to be very bullish on this project – the 4H have always striven to deliver quality products, and when they’ve had missteps they’ve corrected them. While I’d love to have my ravens now, I’m happy to wait for them to get it right. They’ve shared a ton of pics – it looks like they’re making great progress.

The deluxe Clayface will hit shelves in July this year. Continue reading “Watch From Clay to Clayface – DC Collectibles Sculpting Time-Lapse Videos”
