Free Stuff Giveaway – Hasbro Marvel Legends 2013 Series 1 Ultimate Captain America and X-Force Wolverine

I never did get around to reviewing Ultimate Cap, Protector, and Hit Monkey from the first wave of Hasbro Marvel Legends in 2013 – but my laziness is no excuse for the Free Stuff giveaway that I promised, for the extra carded figures for Ultimate Cap and Wolvie. For this giveaway, I’m trying a new piece of software out to manage it – like usual, you’ll get multiple chances to win by liking on Facebook, tweeting, etc, but this way it’ll keep track in an automated fashion instead of me doing it by hand (with the chance for mistakes along the way). Let me know how you like it.

Also, be sure to check out the reviews I did put up:

DC Universe Classics New 52 Hawkman and Marvel Legends Classic Horned Iron Man Available Now on Amazon.com

Of their respective waves, the DC Universe Classics New 52 Hawkman and the classic horned Iron Man are the hardest to find on retail shelves, but they are both available now in limited quantities on Amazon.com.

DC Comics Unlimited Hawkman Collector Figure – $15.99
Iron Man 3 Marvel Legends Classic Iron Man Figure – $14.96

If you’ve been looking for them, snap these up fast. Hawkman will likely sell out first – as of the timing of this post, there’s only 3 left at this price.

Win McFarlane Toys Walking Dead Series 3 from MTV Geek

MTV Geek has a great Twitter giveaway (of the standard follow and retweet variety) that ends on Friday, for a complete set of The Walking Dead Series 3, signed by Todd McFarlane. I saw the bloody Michonne plus Zombie Pets 3-pack at my local Toys R Us today, and it was priced at $39.99 – and individually, Michonne and co. are listed at $16.99 each on ToysRUs.com (saw none on the shelves), so this would be a sweet set to win.

Eight DC Direct Steals for Characters You Won’t See in DC Universe Classics

I have a bias for super-articulated figures, so for the DC Comics brand, I tend to favor Mattel’s DC Universe Classics line over similar offerings from DC Direct / DC Collectibles. But one thing I do concede – DCD dives a lot deeper into the comics world for their character selection. Here’s eight crazy deals on DCD figures that you will probably never see offered in the DC Universe Classics line. The first four are Prime, which means free 2-day shipping if you’re a member, or if you spend over $25 if you are not:

DC Direct Blackest Night: Series 7: Black Lantern Terra with Scar Action Figure – $6.40 (Prime) – I’d pay more for just a Scar figure, so getting Terra at this price is a bonus
DC Direct Green Lantern Series 4: Green Lantern Hal Jordan (Power Glow) Action Figure – $7.95 (Prime) – Hal Jordan has been done in DCUC, but I don’t think we’ll ever get a translucent green comic book version
DC Direct Batman Incorporated: Batman: Man of Bats Action Figure – $9.95 (Prime) – I have a hardcover collection of Batman stories that featured the original Man of Bats comic, so I’ll be glad to have him
DC Direct Green Lantern Series 4: Arkkis Chummuk Action Figure -$11.95 (Prime) – I used the head from this figure for a DC Universe Classics Arkkis Chummuck custom
