Sideshow Collectibles Announces 1/6 Scale “Escape From New York” Snake Plissken

Growing up in the 80s, Escape From New York and Snake Plissken were staples of the late night cable TV movie diet, with all the nutrition you could want with low budget effects, loads of violence, and hotness in Adrienne Barbeau.

Sideshow’s upcoming 1/6 scale figure of Snake has got a pretty good Kurt Russell likeness, the costume details you’d expect, and Snake’s arsenal to boot. You’ll be able to pre-order Snake Plissken tomorrow at Sideshow, including a Sideshow exclusive version with a surprising cassette tape.

And Sideshow – don’t get any ideas about an Escape From L.A. version. Somehow it’d be the same figure, but suck!

Hot Toys Announces AVP Celtic Predator

Hot Toys AVP Celtic Predator 14

Hot Toys is back with (surprise) not an Iron Man figure – it’s the Celtic Predator from the Aliens vs. Predators franchise. As Hot Toys has been known to do, this is actually a new version of the Celtic Predator they released a few years back, with new and improved features, like LED lights and interchangeable mandibles when he’s unmasked.

Did Hot Toys Reveal Christopher Reeve Clark Kent at Battle of the Toys?

Remember that Hot Toys Avengers Shawarma diorama, in which we first saw a Bruce Banner figure? At the time, I thought Hot Toys was torturing us with a custom figure that we’d never have the chance to add to our collections. But then they revealed that the puny Banner would be an official Hot Toys release (although when, your guess is as good as mine).

Think they’ll do the same with this Christopher Reeve Clark Kent?
