ThreeA Toys Adventure Kartel Hot-Foot Up For Pre-Order Halloween’s Eve

For the past couple years, 3A Toys has had a Halloween toy release, and they’re carrying on the tradition with another figure that’s got connections to his predecessors. In the past, we’ve had the Zombkin, a pumpkin-headed monster that came in both 1/12 and 1/6 scale. After that there was Charkin in 1/6 scale – he was the burnt to a crisp Zombkin. This Halloween, we’ve got the flamethrower-toting Hot-Foot. And, you guessed it, he’s the one who turned Zombkin into Charkin.

Hot-Foot is also a former member of the 10 Finger Gang, but apparently was tossed out because, well, you just can’t have eleven fingers. I’ve got the gang in 1/12 scale, so I hope we’ll eventually see Hot-Foot get smaller. The 1/6 scale Hot-Foot goes up for sale on October 30 at 9PM EST at Bambaland. Will we see a secret drop too? Nobody knows if 3A will trick or treat.

Captain Harlock Collectible Figure with Throne of Arcadia

When I was a kid, my mom would take me to the Philippines, where I’d spend a lot of time with my cousins, who were a bit older than me and big-time anime fans. We’d get a lot of the Japanese shows on TV, just like Looney Toons would show up on TV on the weekend mornings or in the afternoon after school. I know I’ve seen a fair amount of Space Pirate Captain Harlock, but for the life of me I can’t really remember any of it.

Captain Harlock will have two versions to pre-order. One is just the figure, including his weapons and Mr. Bird. The other includes all that plus the Throne of Arcadia. If you recall, this is the same setup that Hot Toys employed for their two upcoming diecast Robocop releases – one with his “dreaming” chair, the other without.

I might have to re-familiarize myself with the series to know if I am interested in the Hot Toys figures. Amazon has the complete Captain Harlock TV series available on DVD. And apparently there is a new Space Pirate Captain Harlock animated feature that’s getting decent nerd-cred reviews and looks pretty too.

Play Imaginative Super Alloy 1/12 Scale Iron Man 2 Hammer Drones Set Available to Pre-Order

YesAnime, Play Imaginative’s distributor in the United States, has the 1/12 scale Super Alloy Hammer Drones from Iron Man 2 up for pre-order now. I was wondering if they’d be available individually – at least for the exclusive versions, no. They’ll come in a set of four for $419.99. The exclusive version will have additional weathering paint apps. I suppose if you wanted them in pristine shape, you’d have to get them directly from Justin Hammer.

If you pre-order now, when they ship in April next year, you’ll also get four of the “bully” devices that appeared in Iron Man 3 with the Mark 42 armor. These light capsules will be in 1:1 scale (pretend you’re Tony Stark!) and will have flaps that open to reveal LED lights that work as if they were activated. That’s a pretty cool incentive.

I was pretty impressed when I saw the Hammer Drones and the rest of the 1/12 scale Super Alloy Iron Man figures at NYCC. I just wish one of these lottery tickets would pay off, so I could afford to army build these babies!

Captain America: the Winter Soldier Trailer Looks Awesome – Bring on the Toys!

Thor: the Dark World may be opening in two weeks, but Cap is generating his own hype with the official trailer for Captain America: the Winter Soldier. Looks awesome! I still think that while Chris Evans is great in the role of Cap, he still looks super goofy in the helmet they designed for the movie – and I think Marvel Studios knows it too, which is why it gets so little airtime in the trailer. The Steve Rogers Super Soldier costume from the comics looks great, though I don’t hold out much hope for a better looking helmet if that becomes his Cap costume in the movie (the action figure hints that the helmet will be just like the old one).

All the supporting characters look great – ScarJo looks good as Black Widow with the super straight hair we saw first in action figure form. Thankfully, ~~Howard~~ Anthony Mackie as the Falcon looks like a badass, and not goofy considering how his costume from the comics might have turned out in live action. And Samuel L. Jackson – looks like rough times for the eye patch are coming.

Captain America: the Winter Soldier is due out in April next year. Luckily, we have a much shorter wait for the action figures, which should be out early first quarter. We got some reveals for the Captain America Marvel Legends line (aka Captain America: The Winter Soldier – Infinity Legends) at NYCC, and Previews had some more details for the Cap line recently. And don’t worry – Cap figures based on the comics will be part of the line too.

WebSwipe: Star Wars Black Series Wave 3 Promo Pics – YodasNews.com

Speaking of Star Wars, news site YodasNews.com has hi-res images of Star Wars Black Series wave 3. We had seen some of this previously, when Hasbro added Obi Wan Kenobi to their booth at SDCC, and after Star Wars Celebration Europe for the Stormtrooper and Luke. But this gives us a better look at the Bespin Luke Skywalker that will hit shelves – the earlier shot had its head tilted down and looked like an early shot of the paint master. Hasbro also released an official pic of Anakin Skywalker for their NYCC pre-party.

I am really enjoying this line so far – my one desire would be more paint apps, particularly with the eyes – would like to see less of the G.I. JOE eyes in this line.
