My wife tells me that some folks are expecting the DC Comics licensed Uglies to show up at San Diego Comic-Con, but as far as official news is concerned, it’s a previously unseen mashup with Sanrio’s Hello Kitty which are featured as exclusives for SDCC. Wage, Ice Bat, Ox, and Trunko (who gets the nod over mainstay Babo) show up as costumes for Hello Kitty in 12-inch plush, keychains, t-shirts, pins, and iPhone cases.

The email announcement also showed vinyl figures, but these were not called out on the Comic-Con page.

… Make that Five Reasons

Hot Toys SDCC Preview - Iron Man Gemini

No sooner had I posted the Hot Toys SDCC teasers I saw earlier this weekend, all to be shown in their full glory at the Sideshow booth at SDCC, did they add another teaser to the list. It’s the Iron Man Mark 39 “Gemini” Space Suit from Iron Man 3. This was one of the armors that had been teased by the movie folks in the hype machine leading up to the IM3 opening.

With the Gemini reveal, I believe that leaves only the Silver Centurion armor as the one remaining armor heavily featured in Iron Man 3 that Hot Toys hasn’t yet shown. It’s got to be just a matter of time.

Hot Toys Has Four More Reasons to Visit Sideshow at SDCC

I already love spending time at the Sideshow Collectibles booth at San Diego Comic-Con – it’s massive and chock full of 1/6 scale goodness. And even though it’s just a couple days away, Hot Toys is still driving up the pre-show hype with previews of some figures that will debut at the big show at Sideshow. We saw the Hot Toys Batman Classic TV Series Batmobile last year, and finally we’ll have an Adam West Batman and Burt Ward Robin to go with it.

Hot Toys teased the Iron Man Heartbreaker armor previously, but it’ll be nice to see it (and a ton of other Iron Men, I am sure) up close. And I had no idea they were doing Lone Ranger figure(s) – Johnny Depp’s Tonto is up first, and I can’t imagine that Armie Hammer’s Lone Ranger will follow soon.
