Masters of the Universe Classics Battle Cat-Man by Joe Amato

Joe Amato sent over pics of his latest custom, the Masters of the Universe Classics Battle Cat-Man. Hey, if Castle Grayskull can be transformed into Castle Grayskullman, then I can see how Battle Cat could become Battle Cat-Man, given all those times He-Man pointed his power sword at him to give him a dose of the Power of Grayskull. Joe’s gone all out with custom packaging and a fully sculpted removable helmet for the man-sized tiger head.

Battle Cat-Man is available on eBay if you want a shot at this one of a kind Masters figure – but I think you’ll have a lot of competition for him. The auction ends Saturday afternoon.

Play Imaginative Announces Super Alloy 1/12 Scale Robocop for 1Q 2014

Play Imaginative continues to pick up niches in the available licenses. Hot Toys has 12-inch diecast Robocops and NECA has 7-inch plastic Robocop figures coming to market. The Super Alloys will sneak in between these two at 6-inches and likely upwards of 80% diecast. Also, since both the old and new logos are shown, maybe we’ll be seeing classic and new movie versions.

The Super Alloy 1/12 Iron Man figures are coming in at $100 and change, so that’s what I’ll expect for pricing for the Super Alloy RoboCop figure(s).

Playmates Toys has announced that Toys R Us will be the exclusive home to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Collection. If you haven’t seen the 4-inch Turtles and vehicles manufactured from the original molds making their way to TRU shelves near you, you will soon. In addition, Rocksteady and Bebop from the 6-inch TMNT Classic Collection should be arriving within the next month, at TRU and specialty retailers.

At SDCC, Playmates confirmed they’ll be adding movie Turtles from the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the 6-inch line. That’s extremely cool, but I’m still waiting for Shredder and the Foot Ninjas.

Play Imaginative Reveals the Super Alloy New 52 Justice League Green Lantern

Play Imaginative Super Alloy DC New 52 Green Lantern 1

I think I’m more excited about the Play Imaginative Super Alloy Green Lantern than I am about any of the other DC New 52 Justice League figures they have in the works. Sure, I’m a Hal Jordan fan, but I also think that he’s the best realized of the DC figures they’ve got in the works so far. It doesn’t hurt that the New 52 version of GL’s costume is not that far off from what I grew up with.

The figure has LED lights for his eyes and chest, as well as the ring on the fist version of the five pairs of hands. You can switch on and off the LEDs with the included remote control. And wow, the figure is also loaded up with armor constructs, and also comes with GL’s power battery. The exclusive edition shown here also comes with a battle damaged head (also with LED lights for the eyes) and battle damaged construct armor. I’m channeling Larfleeze, cause I *want*!
