Watch Mattel’s Video Preview of the SDCC Exclusive Batusi Batman

Video Preview Batusi Batman

MattyCollector’s Toy Guru has posted a video preview of the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Batusi Batman from the Classic TV Series. Once again they’ve got some pretty clever packaging that allows for Bats to dance with his fellow party-goers. An electronic sound chip plays the Batusi theme.

The action feature comes with some drawbacks, though – one is a relatively small lever in Batman’s back, but the big one is that it appears that his arms could be locked in the Batusi pose. I’m still on the fence for the series, but this probably means I’ll go for one of the Batmen available for pre-order on Amazon.

Hot Toys Reveals Man of Steel Jor-El

Hot Toys Man of Steel Jor-El 1

Hot Toys had previously posted teasers for their Man of Steel figures, and have already revealed (naturally) the Hot Toys Man of Steel Superman figure. Over the weekend, they finally revealed Jor-El – and I think the likeness to Russell Crowe is pretty good. Still no word on Zod yet, though I imagine he is inevitable.

I’ve been doing a little bit of travel (yeah, I know, I should be resting up for Comic-Con) so I haven’t even seen Man of Steel yet. Those of you who have, what do you think? Should I see it on the big screen?

With the holiday weekend, I haven’t yet seen pre-orders, but I’d check for the Hot Toys Jor-El at Sideshow Collectibles and BigBadToyStore.

Hot Toys Reveals First of 2013 Exclusives – Captain America Movie Star Spangled Man

Hot Toys spent their Fourth of July revealing the first of their 2013 exclusives – the “Star Spangled Man with a Plan” from Captain America: the First Avenger. It’s got a great first appearance feel to it, even if you weren’t a fan of the movie. I loved it though, even if the USO segment that featured this costume was a little long.

I’m sure Sideshow Collectibles will get an allotment of these figures, like they did with the Hot Toys Rescue Captain America exclusive from last year.

NECA and WizKids Reveal San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Marvel HeroClix Shuma Gorath

shuma-feat-1200

Dr. Strange has had pretty good action figures in both Marvel Legends and Marvel Universe, but haven’t really had any of his signature villains available to battle. And while this San Diego exclusive HeroClix Shuma Gorath may work for MU and might be a bit of a stretch for ML, I’m still pretty psyched to see it from WizKids – it’s about time! One of the coolest features is his articulated eye, which is movable via an eye knob at the back of his head(?)

Shuma Gorath will cost $50 at SDCC, and WizKids will also have a trio of DC heroes, Pandora, the Question, and Phantom Stranger, for $24.99.

Mimobot Reveals Chewbacca (and C-3P0) MIMOBOT for San Diego Comic-Con

It’s almost like getting two for one with the Chewbacca MIMOBOT announced for San Diego Comic-Con. That’s because he’s toting around a busted up Chewbacca, just like he did in The Empire Strikes Back, arguably the best Star Wars movie ever.

You can pre-order the Chewbacca MIMOBOT now. You flea-bitten furball! Only an overgrown mop-head like you would be stupid enough to…
