3A Toys had shared that they would be putting the HALO Emile Spartan up for pre-order, but in a special edition of the 3aVOX newsletter, they revealed that they will also be selling a Bambaland exclusive Spartan Mark V EVA. They included a ton of detailed pics – they both look awesome!

Both armors will be available for $220 at Bambaland this Thursday, August 29, at 9PM EST. Emile should be available through 3A’s retail partners down the road.

The Singapore Toy, Game, and Comic Convention is this weekend, August 31 – September 1, and Play Imaginative will be on site with its Super Alloy line of diecast figures that span both DC and Marvel. On the DC front, they’ll have both Superman and Batman from their New 52 Justice League 1/6 scale lineup for sale. And from Iron Man, they’ll have Iron Patriot and War Machine from Iron Man 3 in 1/6 scale – outside the US they’ve share rights for Iron Man in that scale with Hot Toys.

They’re also taking pre-orders for Green Lantern, some of their 1/4 scale Iron Man figures, and the 1/12 scale Mark 42. But new for this show are the Hammer Drones from Iron Man 2, in 1/12 scale. These will be up for pre-order for 115SGD, which is about $90, and are tagged as “event exclusives.” With all of the other Super Alloy figures, each event exclusive has been available for order with minor changes, so even if you can’t get to Singapore, you’ll probably be able to order the Hammer Drones through YesAnime, the US distributor for Play Imaginative.

Exclusive Marvel Legends Ultron Variant Available with Subscription to Marvel Unlimited Plus

Our good friend Paul wrote in that you can get an exclusive Marvel Legends Ultron variant by subscribing to Marvel’s new Marvel Unlimited Plus membership. Marvel Unlimited Plus expands on the access to Marvel’s digital comics library with discounts on digital comics and on merchandise from MarvelStore.com, and also promises access to special events and promotions related to the various comic conventions.

For action figure fans, Plus comes with a collector’s kit, including the Marvel Legends Ultron, a variant copy of Age of Ultron #10,  and a personalized letter and membership card, all in a collectible Age of Ultron comics box. From the pictures it looks like Ultron has a more metallic paint deco than the version that came in Iron Man Legends wave 2, and also has a bright blue color in his mouth consistent with the Age of Ultron look.

Marvel Unlimited Plus costs $99, which is a $30 upsell over the regular Unlimited subscription, if purchased annually. If you subscribe monthly, a regular Unlimited sub would cost you about $120.

3A Toys has put up a surprise drop for a 1/12 scale Action Portable 2-pack of the risque SXCLB set, released previously in 1/6 scale. They posted a comparison picture of the pink Ankou from the set with the recently released 10 Finger Gang. The picture with Little Shadow and the Ankou is from the 1/6 set – so far no shots of her in 1/12 scale. The set is up for $120 at Bambaland.

Not sure how long it will remain up, but previous 1/12 sets have gone for a couple of days.
