DC Collectibles has released pics of its Earth 2 action figures and their upcoming statue commemorating Neil Gaiman’s return to Sandman. Call me old school, but I find a lot of the new Earth 2 designs hokey. Wonder Woman is the most appealing, with the cues to the Golden Age Wonder Woman, but Green Lantern and especially Flash look particularly silly.

Here’s a quick on from Hasbro for the upcoming Star Wars Rebels toy line, to support the new animated series.
In anticipation of Lucasfilm’s STAR WARS REBELS panel at New York Comic Con (Saturday, October 12, 2013; 2:45 PM 3:45 PM; Location: Empire Stage 1-E), Hasbro unveils the packaging treatment for its STAR WARS REBELS 3.75-inch action figure line supporting the upcoming animated series.
STAR WARS REBELS continues the epic tradition of the legendary Star Wars saga with all-new exciting, action-packed adventures. It is a dark time in the galaxy, as the evil Galactic Empire tightens its grip of power from world to world. As the series begins, Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet, ruling with an iron fist and ruining the lives of its people. But there are a select few who are brave enough to stand up against the endless Stormtroopers and TIE fighters of the Empire: the clever and motley crew of the starship Ghost. Together, this ragtag group will face threatening new villains, have thrilling adventures, and become heroes.
Hasbro’s STAR WARS REBELS line, featuring highly detailed 3.75-inch action figures with multiple points of articulation, is coming to a galaxy near you in 2014.
By the time we arrived at the Hasbro “Night Before” party, any traces of 6-inch Star Wars Black Series figures vaporized. Luckily, Hasbro shared official images of the Episode 3 Anakin Skywalker figure (so angry!) as well as ones for the 3.75-inchers that were there.
Not being a big fan of the Prequels, I was more excited about the Han Solo figure from the Star Wars Black Series wave 2 that was in our goodie bag. Thanks again, Hasbro!
If you’re looking for both Cloak and Dagger from Hasbro’s Marvel Universe line (and I don’t know why you’d want one without the other), then the best place to go right now is ToysRUs.com – they have a special 2-pack on sale for $9.99. Yes, that includes both figures! Don’t delay – I bet this sells out today.
Once, this super-powered duo fought crime together. Now, Cloak rages unchecked, controlled by a dark force. The Marvel Knights must stop him, but Dagger may be the only one who can return him to balance before he consumes them all!
Your superhero adventures will be off the hook with these awesome Marvel Knights figures! Pit your scary Cloak figure against your hardcore Dagger figure. Will Dagger prevail, or will Cloak be consumed by evil? It’s all up to you! Includes 2 figures.
At the “Night Before” party, Hasbro also pulled out the stops for the merchandise for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which opens in May. If conventional wisdom holds, that means a street date for the toys in the February time-frame.
Like the Captain America figures, Marvel Spider-Man Legends Infinite Series (still a tongue-twister) will feature a build-a-figure – the Ultimate Green Goblin – also split over two waves. Following the pattern, Hasbro also plans swap-outs for figures – Carnage, Black Cat, and Beetle are the swaps in the first wave, for the 2 Spideys and Electro. Hopefully this works better for the movie-themed waves than they did for the latter ML waves from this year.
