With your help, we could be launching another small toy company with the aim of producing action figures, with a twist – the robot animal figures are made out of weapons and accessories that work with themselves or with your other toy lines. BMOG Toys just began their Kickstarter campaign to get the first two figures, a bear and a manta ray, tooled up and launched.

Sounds similar to what our pals at Spy Monkey Creations has done with the Weaponeers of Monkaa, but with BMOG (Bio-Mechanical Ordnance Gestalts), the figures and the weapons are one and the same. The Spy Monkey weapons packs have their roots very much in Masters of the Universe Classics. BMOG has its roots in Transformers – the project team members have worked with Hasbro. You can find more info on the BMOG Toys website.

Play Imaginative Super Alloy Iron Man Igor 1/12 Scale Press Pics

Play Imaginative Super Alloy One Twelfth Iron Man Igor 7

Yes Anime, Play Imaginative’s distributor in the United States, is getting ready to put the Super Alloy 1/12 scale Iron Man Mark 38 (aka Igor) up for pre-order. For those of you looking to build your own armory, Igor will probably set you back a little over $100 – a bit of a shock to your wallet if you’re accustomed to picking up Hasbro Iron Man figures for $15 – $20.

Keep in mind, these are upwards of 80% diecast – still, I’m really curious as to how collectors will take to the high-end Iron Man figures in this scale. Igor looks fantastic!

DC Collectibles Shows Off the New 52 Lex Luthor in Video Preview

DC Collectibles New 52 Lex Luthor preview

DC Collectibles featured this deluxe Lex Luthor previously, in a video blog about digital sculpting the New 52 Lex. It’s nice to see the finished sculpt – it’s got a removable helmet and 20+ points of articulation.

Still, there’s a long way to go, as Lex isn’t due to hit shelves until May next year. By then he’ll surely have a new costume (if he doesn’t already…)

Included were the Heartbreaker armor, in both 1/4 and 1/12 scales, and the Mark 42 in 1/4 scale.

I’ll be buying lottery tickets in the hopes I can build a diecast armory one of these days.
