ThreeA Toys HALO Emile Pre-Sale on August 29

The next HALO offering from 3A Toys will be up for pre-order in a week’s time. More info will be forthcoming, like the price. For reference, Commander Carter was priced at $200 when he went up for pre-order a little over a year ago.

The pre-order window usually opens up in the evenings here in the US, mornings in Hong Kong – that accounts for the date discrepancy, for the time-zone challenged.

3A x HALO A239 EMILE SPARTAN-III will be available for pre-order at our official webstore: www.bambalandstore.com on August 30th
figure stands 13.5 inches tall

The Day that Club Infinite Earths Died

Death-of-Superman

DC fans put up the good fight, and in the end, Doomsday was dead – but so was Club Infinite Earths. With the announcement of refunds coming to subscribers for 2014 , it’s official – Club Infinite Earths is dead. But to carry on the Death of Superman analogy, who knows what will spring forth to fill the void? Hopefully it’s not four all-in subs! 😉

Marvel Venom and Wolverine Designer Vinyl Figures by Graphic Artist Frank Kozik

You may remember a few years back, when Hasbro introduced its Marvel Mighty Muggs – this was their attempt to capture some of the high margin designer vinyl market with lower cost licensed figures. The line met with marginal success – Muggs still exist but have gone from Mighty to Mini to Micro.

Marvel is now trying it from another angle – with licensed designer vinyl figures from popular artists. These Venom and Wolverine figures are from graphic artist Frank Kozik – mashups with his Smorkin Labbit – a cartoon character that has been immortalized in a line of vinyl figures. The Marvel Labbit versions of Venom and Wolverine are available at kidrobot, alongside Marvel Munnys of the most popular Marvel characters.

If the $49.99 price tag puts you off these 7-inch Labbits, word is there will be a smaller, blind-boxed line coming soon for $9.99 each. We’ll let you know when we know more.

Play Imaginative Shares New Images and Details for its Super Alloy New 52 Superman

Play Imaginative Super Allow Superman Regular Edition - 1

I saw the 1/6 scale Super Alloy Superman from Play Imaginative at SDCC – as much as I’ve disliked the New 52 costumes in the comics, somehow this figure grabbed my attention. Perhaps it was because with Batman already released and Green Lantern and more on the way, this will be a way to collect a comic-based Justice League of America in 1/6 scale with the kind of detail and quality I’ve grown accustomed to with Hot Toys.

This regular edition is the same as the event exclusive edition, minus the third head sculpt (with angry expression and heat vision eyes without flames) and three Kryptonian crystals that fit in the Fortress base. But you can actually get the event exclusive Super Alloy Superman at Yes Anime – they’re Play Imaginative’s distributor in the US.

LEGO Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine

Lego Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine (1 of 14)

If you were alive in the 80s, then you’re probably a fan of Back to the Future. I definitely am, and I’ve been waiting for a long time for a Back to the Future fix for my toy habit. There’ve been close calls before – Diamond Select Toys has put out both a line of BTTF Minimates and 1:15 scale DeLoreans for the trilogy – very tempting. And Mattel acquired the license a couple years back, but have only managed to put out a somewhat disappointing Hover Board, at least according to many diehard fans who ponied up the big bucks for it.

When I learned about the LEGO Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine, which was produced as part of its fan-created CUUSOO, I could resist no longer. I had to have it.
