I don’t mean to be a nag, but the Free Stuff Giveaway for the Hasbro Marvel Legends 2013 Series 1 Ultimate Captain America and X-Force Wolverine ends tomorrow, Friday, 4/26, and Noon PST.
It’s easy to enter – just do the regular Free Stuff stuff – Like, Follow, etc – but do it on the giveaway page for multiple chances to win. Good luck!
Today we’ve got two updates from Diamond Select Toys via the Art Asylum site. First up, we’ve got a new Thundercats Minimates box set arriving this Fall. And if you need a fix for Thundercats now, I also came across some deals at ActionFigureXpress.
Featuring “new” ThunderCats Bengali, Lynx-O, Pumyra and Ratar-O, as well as a non-poseable minifigure of the Berbil named Ro-Bear Bert, this box set is available to all comic shops and specialty store retailers through Diamond Comic Distributors’ Previews catalog. Now available for pre-order, the set will ship in the fall.
The three new ThunderCats in this set – blacksmith Bengali, healer Pumyra and wise, sightless Lynx-O – were introduced in the five-part 1985 movie ThunderCats Ho! as three Thunderans who came to Third Earth in the wake of Thundera’s destruction. Ro-Bear Bert was on of the two Berbils who saved the trio from the doomed planet, and Ratar-O was the Mutant commander who sought to capture them for the evil Mumm-Ra.

Don Cornholious may have found the Injustice 2-Packs expensive, even with a Buy Two Save Ten deal, but I don’t think even he could argue with free. IGN is holding a giveaway for two of the Injustice two-packs – Wonder Woman / Solomon Grundy, and Green Arrow / Deathstroke.
It’s an easy contest to enter – just comment on the IGN giveaway page which Injustice character you like best. The giveaway ends Monday, April 29.

I had been really considering picking up the Hot Toys Snake Eyes from G.I. JOE: Retaliation, but then Sideshow had to offer up a $20 off code, aptly called TAX20, for Tax Day. And while the Hot Toys Snake Eyes is available for pre-order and expected to ship next month, the Sideshow Snake Eyes is truer to the comics and vintage Joes, comes with Timber, and shipped today. I’ve become accustomed to pre-orders, waiting, and even forgetting something will eventually arrive at my door step – sometimes there’s nothing like a little instant gratification, right?
This version comes with both the commando goggles and the visor looks for Snake Eyes, and it’s also billed as a “Sideshow exclusive,” which comes with two different head sculpts for Timber. And while I still haven’t seen Retaliation, I suspect that the movie Snake Eyes doesn’t have a Timber watching his back, even in the sequel. As with all my impulse buys, I didn’t do a lot of thinking before I pulled the trigger, and now I’m left in a quandary over how to acquire the Sideshow version of Storm Shadow. So far I’ve looked on eBay, and it doesn’t look like it will come easy.
By the way, the TAX20 code is good through the end of today, 4/16, so stop by Sideshow Collectibles to see if there’s something you want to pick up for a little bit less than normal. Happy shopping!
