DC Collectibles – My Week with Solomon Grundy

DC Collectibles Solomon Grundy - Monday

DC Collectibles ran a nice series of pics for their deluxe Batman: Arkham City Solomon Grundy – they depict the old nursery rhyme that was the inspiration for the DC comic book character. At the end of the week, they wrapped up the series (on Sunday) with a hint that they had teased an upcoming figure in one of the pics.

I’ll give you a clue, based on the smart money – the eyes have it! Solomon Grundy is available on Amazon for a whopping $79.40. He stands over 13-inches tall and has (as you’ll see in the pictures) a removable chest and heart.

Diamond Select Toys Has Marvel Minimates and Marvel Select from Thor: the Dark World

Marvel Minimates - Thor the Dark World 1 Marvel Select - Thor the Dark World 1

We’re a little over a month away from Thor: the Dark World, and if you’re jonesing for toys, then Diamond Select Toys has got you covered – they’ve got Thor Minimates and Marvel Select figures on the way.

Minimates allows them to go pretty wide – not just the main guys in Thor, Malekith, and Loki, but they’ve got a Dark Elf army builder, Eric Selvig, and and Darcy Lewis represented. Kat Dennings fans rejoice! I’m surprised at Darcy but no Jane Foster – I’m guessing she’ll show up at big box retail, as this series is headed to comic book and specialty retailers.

Jane will definitely make an appearance with Thor in the Marvel Select line. The figures will be sold separately but will each have bases that connect to form a diorama for the figures. Are we supposed to call that BAD (build-a-diorama)?

NECA Reveals Predators Series 10 – the Kenner Series

NECA Predators Series 10 01

I love it that the toy companies are stepping up their game with their product photography. Case in point, NECA has gone hunting with their pics of Predators Series 10. This set of three figures, the Nightstorm, Hive Wars, and Lava Planet Predators, are based on the vintage Kenner figures from long ago in the mid-nineties. They look great!

Predators Series 10 should hit toy shelves in the next couple of weeks.
