Icon Heroes Announces ThunderCats and Masters of the Universe Exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con

Icon Heroes has revealed its exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con. I’m glad to see the ThunderCats Minimates continue. For more information on the He-Man bust, check out our conversation with Joe Amaro, who collaborated with the Four Horsemen on that piece. And remember, those Power Swords are compatible with the larger figures in the Masters of the Universe Classics line, like Tytus and Megator.

All three exclusives will be available at the Action Figure Xpress Booth #3345.

ThunderCats Minimates Set of 5 ($22)

As his homeworld crumbled around him, young Prince Lion-O fled Thundera with the noble Jaga. Jaga would sacrifice himself to ensure his ward reached the safety of Third Earth, but little did he know the dangers the boy would face, most notably his old foe Grune the Destroyer and a new threat, Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living.  Includes a Ma-Mutt PVC Minimate!  Limited edition of 3,000.

Masters of the Universe He-Man with Battle Axe and Shield Mini Bust Paperweight ($60)

Keep your papers safe from Eternian winds with the Icon Heroes San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Masters of the Universe He-Man Mini Bust Paperweight! Based on the 1980’s Filmation television series, He-Man wields his battle axe and shield atop a Castle Grayskull tower base defying evil. Designed and sculpted by Joe Amaro and the Four Horsemen, this complete piece comes with sheath and Master of the Universe logo. Cast in high quality polystone, the He-Man Mini Bust Paperweight stands approximately 10 inches tall from the bottom of the base to the tip of the axe. This makes a great addition to any desktop or Masters of the Universe collection.  Limited edition of 500 (ONLY 100 AVAILABLE AT SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON).

Masters of the Universe Faker Power Sword Letter Opener ($20)

Created by Skeletor, He-man’s robot twin sneaks into the power sword line up as an exclusive variant. This letter opener measures approximately 7 inches long and stores nicely in the Castle Grayskull business card holder (sold separately).  Limited Edition of 600.

Win a Superman Man of Steel Premium Format Figure from Sideshow Collectibles

Sideshow Man of Steel Premium Format Figure Contest Sideshow Superman Premium Format Figure

I know a few folks who lost their Kryptonite over the Premium Format Superman that Sideshow offered for pre-order earlier in the year. And understandably so – the figure somehow evokes Christopher Reeves while having a more comic book superhero physique. Sideshow is about to do it again, with their Premium Format Superman from Man of Steel.

They posted the teaser image above, and best of all it’s attached to a giveaway of the Premium Format Man of Steel Superman figure. The entry period closes at the end of the month – typically, pre-orders open right after that. Good luck!

Pre-Order Marvel Select Thor and Jane Foster from Thor: The Dark World at TFAW.com

Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman in Thor The Dark World

I know that Diamond Select Toys must have solicited the Marvel Select figures from Thor: The Dark World a while back, but I just saw them listed on the Things From Another World website. And it turns out they’ve got the lowest prices I’ve seen for pre-ordering them. At $19.99 each, they are lower by a fair amount than I’ve seen them on other e-tailers, including Amazon, with the Marvel Select Thor figures from the Dark World at $24.99 each.

These should arrive in late September. Thor: The Dark World opens in the US on November 8.

DC Collectibles Reveals Arkham Origins Bane and Joker
