Last night I noticed that Amazon had the black-suited Superman from Mattel’s Movie Masters Man of Steel line in stock for $15.99. (Hint: if you like AFP’s Facebook page or follow the AFP Twitter account you got a special heads up last night.) Supes is still up this morning so I thought I’d make an official post about it.
Jor-El is also back in stock at the same price, and the regular Superman never left – thus negating any chance of a Superman Returns joke.
Each day in the month of July, Sideshow Toys opened a giveaway for an awesome collectible, to celebrate San Diego Comic-Con. And while July is over, there’s still time to enter the Sideshow contests and giveaways that are closing in the next couple of days. The latest four giveaways, closing tomorrow or the day after, are for:
We’ll be kicking off a giveaway of our own tomorrow. Good luck!
We’re up to Friday in our five days of Comic-Con cosplayers and more, as shot by Richard of the MATRIX Photo Booth. If you thought Thursday was good, Friday brings out even more of the big guns in the cosplaying world. Slave Leia? Check. Power Girl? Check. Storm Trooper chick in a tutu? Umm… check. And so on…
There’s over 300 shots in this gallery, and over a thousand for the five days of SDCC. If you missed them, check out Preview Night and Thursday of the MATRIX Photo Booth galleries.

Yes, our Transformers coverage at SDCC was terrible. It started Thursday when I pulled a novice move and left Room 25ABC because I had a couple hours to kill between Mattel’s first panel and Hasbro’s Transformers 30th Anniversary panel. I got back to the room with plenty of time, but the line to get in was super-long. On top of that, the previous panel was for the Transformers on the small screen, so very few seats opened up.
Thankfully, Hasbro sent us these images for showing off the reveals in the panel. The big news – for the 30th Anniversary, they are introducing the Thrilling 30 – numbered action figures that spawn the lines in the brand. The thirty will include Windblade, the fan-built bot created earlier in the year. My votes must have counted about a million each, because she turned out almost exactly like what I picked – the exception is that Windblade is an Autobot, not a Decepticon. Boo to the good guys.
The thirty will also include figure(s) from the new Transformers Construct-Bots line that Hasbro introduced to us over breakfast. Hasbro listed out the first eleven on the list, and also sent out pics for upcoming figures from each of their Transformers lines.

If you’ve been waiting for Mattel’s Batman Classic TV Series line to become available, Amazon now has the Batman and Robin 2-pack in stock for $29.99. That’s a bit early, since they had been showing with an August 1 availability date during pre-orders.
Maybe it’s just semantics, because while the 2-pack shows in stock, the listing says it may take one or two days extra to process. As Robin would say, “Holy six of one, half dozen of the other, Batman!” You’re right. Robin would never say that.
