ThreeA Toys Real Steel Noisy Boy Pre-Order Opens 10/31

3A Toys Real Steel Noisy Boy 01

I have not been buying 3A’s Real Steel fighting robots. I hadn’t seen the movie when the first figures were offered for pre-order, and while my wallet is thanking me, I’m feeling like I missed out a little. The latest offering, which will go up for pre-order right after the Halloween Hot-Foot, is my favorite design among all the bots – Noisy Boy. At $380, my wallet is thanking me again, but for those of you who get him, make a video of all those LED lights – all 500 of them!

Noisy Boy goes up for pre-order at 9PM EST on October 31.

WebSwipe: Batman – Arkham Origins Killer Croc Deluxe Figure – IGN

Gentle Giant gets the nod for more of DC Collectibles Arkham Origins figures. Croc is massive, and if he’s priced like the previous deluxe figures, he’s gonna take a huge bite out of your wallet.

Border Patrol: Life-Sized Chucky, 1/6 Scale Dutch, and 1/12 Scale Goldberg

I guess you could call this a TV and movie edition of Border Patrol.

Life-Sized Chucky by Dream Rush and MIKE MSR – this one of a kind life-sized (33-inches tall) figure was customized by a professional special effects make-up artist in the movie business – the auction is already approaching the $1,200 mark and there’s still close to five days left – and I thought the Mezco Chucky was scary – ends Nov 03, 2013 06:00:57 PST

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

Customizers, don’t forget to check out the submission guidelines for CustomCon 36.

ThreeA Toys Adventure Kartel Hot-Foot Up For Pre-Order Halloween’s Eve

3A Toys Adventure Kartel Hot-Foot and friends

For the past couple years, 3A Toys has had a Halloween toy release, and they’re carrying on the tradition with another figure that’s got connections to his predecessors. In the past, we’ve had the Zombkin, a pumpkin-headed monster that came in both 1/12 and 1/6 scale. After that there was Charkin in 1/6 scale – he was the burnt to a crisp Zombkin. This Halloween, we’ve got the flamethrower-toting Hot-Foot. And, you guessed it, he’s the one who turned Zombkin into Charkin.

Hot-Foot is also a former member of the 10 Finger Gang, but apparently was tossed out because, well, you just can’t have eleven fingers. I’ve got the gang in 1/12 scale, so I hope we’ll eventually see Hot-Foot get smaller. The 1/6 scale Hot-Foot goes up for sale on October 30 at 9PM EST at Bambaland. Will we see a secret drop too? Nobody knows if 3A will trick or treat.

Captain Harlock Collectible Figure with Throne of Arcadia

Captain Harlock Collectible Figure 09

When I was a kid, my mom would take me to the Philippines, where I’d spend a lot of time with my cousins, who were a bit older than me and big-time anime fans. We’d get a lot of the Japanese shows on TV, just like Looney Toons would show up on TV on the weekend mornings or in the afternoon after school. I know I’ve seen a fair amount of Space Pirate Captain Harlock, but for the life of me I can’t really remember any of it.

Captain Harlock will have two versions to pre-order. One is just the figure, including his weapons and Mr. Bird. The other includes all that plus the Throne of Arcadia. If you recall, this is the same setup that Hot Toys employed for their two upcoming diecast Robocop releases – one with his “dreaming” chair, the other without.

I might have to re-familiarize myself with the series to know if I am interested in the Hot Toys figures. Amazon has the complete Captain Harlock TV series available on DVD. And apparently there is a new Space Pirate Captain Harlock animated feature that’s getting decent nerd-cred reviews and looks pretty too.
