Icon Heroes Thundercats Minimates and Thundertank

This is a guest review from Ayeffkay. If you are a fan of the Thundercats Minimates, be sure to check out the exclusive Thundercats Minimates set coming to this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

I have always been a huge fan of the Thundercats. Sure I had most of the Masters of the Universe and I picked up G.I. Joe a little late around 1988, but Thundercats was my show. Alas, after two seasons and a hundred and fricken thirty episodes, the series ended and the property has languished in the shadows since, save for a very short-lived reboot in 2011. While the reboot produced a decent cast of action figures, they did not have the charm of the barely articulated behemoths of the 80s. Not one set of glowing eyes among them sadly.

Fortunately, Icon Heroes has been releasing Minimates of the classic Thundercats at Comic Con for the last few years. Ron was nice enough to pick some up for me, although now I suspect he was angling for me to write an article for AFP. I nearly foiled his plot by simply hanging them on the wall, unopened, but then something magnificent happened: they released a Minimates-scale THUNDERTANK! How could I not buy that? How long could I resist opening it and driving it around my living room?

Diamond Select Toys Announces San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Walking Dead Minimates 4-Pack

If you can’t get enough of zombie Minimates, then you’ll want to get to San Diego Comic-Con (or ask a friend) to pick up this exclusive 4-pack of Walking Dead Minimates. Sure, SDCC is a great time for this set, but I think Diamond Select Toys missed an opportunity to release these on Father’s Day – after all, you’ve got crotchety old Hershel and his zombie son Shawn here. Come to think of it, they could have included “gut-shot” Carl in this set to really nail the theme. Arm-chair product management is fun!

The Walking Dead Minimates Return to Hershel’s Farm at SDCC!

At Comic-Con International in 2012, Diamond Select Toys released the first two-pack from their line of The Walking Dead Minimates, based on the best-selling Skybound comic book by Robert Kirkman. The two-pack quickly sold out, and DST swore to top themselves in 2013. Now, with the third full series of Walking Dead Minimates in stores, DST and Skybound are proud to announce a new exclusive four-pack for this year’s Comic-Con!

This year’s Comic-Con exclusive Walking Dead Minimates box set is titled Hershel’s Farm, and it includes four different Minimates based on the famous farmhouse story arc. Included in the set are Hershel, his deceased son Zombie Shawn, Lookout Duty Rick and a Barn Zombie. The Minimates come in a blister-carded four-pack, and each stands 2 inches tall, with a variety of interchangeable parts and accessories, including a pitchfork and a blanket. The set will be limited to only 3000 produced.

The set will be available at the Diamond Select Toys booth, #2607, as well as from various retailers around the show floor. Comic-Con International takes place July 18-21 at the San Diego Convention Center. For more information, visit artasylum.com!

You Have the Power! … to Win Club Eternia for 2014

Want a Club Eternia subscription or 2014? How about for free? Sure you do. And all you have to do is submit a picture of you “Grayskulling.” What’s that, you ask? It’s MattyCollector’s term for pulling a He-Man pose.

With the MattyCollector “Grayskulling” contest, they’ll pick one winner, from those of you with little enough shame that you’ll send in a picture of yourself in the iconic “I have the Power!” pose. Don’t have a Power Sword? They’ll take alternates – humor and creativity count!

Frankly, I think it’s a little behind the times to think only of He-Man. She-Ra poses ought to count too, don’t you think? In fact, I think Kylie Minogue has already won this contest. But you guys and gals out there ought to send in your Grayskulling pics anyways. Good luck! Continue reading “You Have the Power! … to Win Club Eternia for 2014”

Border Patrol: Masters of the Universe Classics Thundarr, Marvel Universe Hank Pym Wasp, and WWE Elite Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase

Masters of the Universe Classics Thundarr the Barbarian by Joe Amato – even though Thundarr isn’t a Filmation property, he and He-Man go together like peanut butter and jelly – so it’s no wonder that a Thundarr custom from a He-Man body would look so good – now we just need a Princess Ariel and Ookla, Joe! – ends Jun 23, 2013 14:45:22 PDT

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

Han Shot First – But Greedo Gets First Dibs at Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Wave 2

Entertainment Earth and Hasbro have revealed the first figure from Star Wars Black Series wave 2, and it’s none other than Greedo, Han Solo’s unwitting victim in the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine. They’re planning four successive reveals each week that highlight the design and development of the Greedo figure. This first week gives us a glimpse at the figure’s blaster, holster, and hands – which I’m guessing have bendy fingers. While you’re there, you can pre-order Star Wars Black Series wave one.

But you’re not thinking about that, are you? You’ve got the Cantina Band music playing in your head now and you can’t get it out. Instead, try this – start humming the William Tell Overture (that’s the Lone Ranger theme song) and tell me it doesn’t morph into the Cantina Band song. Crazy, huh? Not as crazy if wave 2 doesn’t also include Han Solo.

In collaboration with Hasbro, Entertainment Earth is proud to introduce a never-before-seen figure in the second wave of the BLACK SERIES 6-inch scale action figure line! During the next few weeks, we will release images that give fans an inside look at the development of this great new character — concept to final product. Visit EntertainmentEarth.com weekly to see what we reveal in this exciting line that features incredible accuracy and articulation.
