Hasbro has had some challenges getting their Marvel Legends variants from last year to retail, and this year we’re seeing limited distribution of the variants for both the Captain America and Spider-Man waves of Marvel Legends Infinite Series. But I’ve just ordered the “wave 2” variants for the Spidey line – Toxin, Spider-Girl, and Boomerang are all in stock at Amazon. Happy shopping!
Hope you had a great Star Wars Day yesterday! To celebrate May the Fourth (be with you), Hasbro revealed the next figure to join their Star Wars Black Series 6-inch line – none other than Jedi Master Yoda himself. And to show you that size matters not, this morning they revealed the final press shots of their San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Jabba the Hutt Throne Room Set.
Hasbro’s Star Wars presentation at Toy Fair closing out with Salacious Crumb’s laughter was indeed a hint at what is to come. The SDCC Jabba set will include an in-scale Salacious Crumb, and will also include Jabba’s hookah and the railing on which it rests. The packaging completes the effect – it opens to reveal Jabba on a raised platform with throne room backdrop, while the front flap lays flat, with trap door to the rancor printed on it. Judge them by their size, will you?

This Sunday is May the 4th, a date fans have designated Star Wars Day – that despite being a fan myself somehow had no idea about until last year. This year, Sideshow Collectibles is back with a May the Fourth celebration that a smattering of reveals, giveaways, and a $25 coupon code. If you are a Boba Fett fan, their first reveal is a life-sized Boba Fett – more reveals follow throughout the weekend. Following the life-sized theme, their Star Wars giveaway is for the upcoming Darth Vader life-sized bust.
If you don’t have the GNP of a small country at your disposal, Sideshow is also giving away a $25 gift code – it’s eligible for a lot of products and is good for the month of May. And though not directly tied to their Star Wars Day celebration, they’ve also got giveaways in progress for their upcoming 1/6 scale R2-D2 and Daredevil Premium Format Figure. May the Fourth be with you!

Enjoy a few photos of what went down this year at C2E2 in Chicago! This convention may have started small, but it’s gotten very large, very fast.
With The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opening in a week, Bill is on top of his game with a new Spidey comic. While it’s got Electro and Rhino as two of the main villains, this one’s more of an homage to the Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz era of Amazing Spider-Man, which happens to be Bill’s favorite.
So, enjoy Date Night, and be sure to check out more of Bill’s work here on AFP and even more at Bill’s Comics.
