Saw the Movie and Want Toys? Thor: The Dark World Minimates Coming Soon

If you were looking to fill the void that the non-existent Thor Marvel Legends has left in your heart, perhaps the upcoming Marvel Minimates from Thor: the Dark World will do so, 2-inches at a time. This wave of Minimates will round out the supporting cast that returned from the first movie, with Heimdall, Darcy, and Selvig. Selvig will come with his No Pants Friday alternate legs.

Darcy and Selvig will come with army builder Dark Elves, and Thor, Loki, and Malekith round out the assortment, naturally. These Thor Minimates are expected at comic book shops and specialty retailers in just a few weeks. Thor accepts your surrender.

Play Imaginative Super Alloy 1/4 Scale Iron Man Mark XLII Press Pics

YesAnime has shared some more pics of the Play Imaginative Super Alloy Iron Man line – this time of the quarter scale Mark 42 armor that will be going up for pre-order soon. This 18-inch diecast figure will come with a bunch of accessories – pristine and battle-damaged armor pieces, four pairs of hands, and four heads to start. Included will be the fantastic Pepper Potts / Gwyneth Paltrow head sculpt from her “Rescue” moment in Iron Man 3.

There’s a lot of value here, but is it enough to warrant the $600 – $700 price tag that’s expected? What do you think?

Soapbox Sunday: Hasbro Missed Opportunity for Marvel Legends for Thor: the Dark World

With Thor: The Dark World set to hit an $84MM opening weekend in the US, on top of a strong international box office the past couple of weeks, I wonder if Hasbro feels the whoosh of an opportunity passing them by. Back at San Diego Comic-Con, we asked the brand and design team if they had plans for Thor Marvel Legends – in short, they said no.

And while they have brought Marvel Universe-scaled Thor figures to the market, there’s a lot more they could have done with Legends.

Weekend Toy Run: Mattel Shop 20% Off plus Free Shipping This Weekend Only

A couple of weeks ago, the Mattel Shop had a $20 or $50 off sale, but only if you spent $100 or $200. This time around it’s a bit easier – just spend over $25 and you’ll get 20% off and free shipping as part of the extended “Blue Friday” sale they kicked off yesterday.

The Superman™ Movie Masters® Bundle for $79.95 is still a great deal, for five figures. You can also get the Man of Steel figures individually, except for Faora. There’s also Batman (including Batman, Riddler, and Penguin from the Classic TV Series), DC Comics and DC Universe (why these two are separate, I don’t know), and WWE categories to search through.

In total, there’s close to 140 action figures and accessories included in the sale, so qualifying for the discount should be easy. Happy shopping!
