The second part of the Action Portable 1/12 scale Ankou EX pre-order is up on Bambalandstore today. On Friday last week, 3A Toys listed Fatty Drown, the single Ankou. Today, we’ve got the Civil Offensive 3-pack, featuring Laurent, Med-EX, and Shadow-EX. These are massive compared to the Zombs from AP, for example – that helps account for the price, which is $175 for all three.
My dad celebrated a birthday recently – Happy Birthday, Dad! I was happy to spend the day with him and Mom, and that got me in a giving mood. A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to be able to chase down a Masters of the Universe Classics Spirit of Hordak figure on MattyCollector.com – instead of keeping him, I’ve decided to put him up for grabs in a special AFP Free Stuff giveaway.
It’s easy to enter, so while there can only be one winner of this contest, I hope that a shot at a free Spirit of Hordak will give you some cheer. Please help spread the word!

3A Legionnaires attending San Diego Comic-Con won’t be too happy about not being able to reserve the first of 3A’s exclusives for SDCC 2013 – the 1/6 scale Medic Zomb. I expect that “LIVE F5” (named for the practice of refreshing the browser on Bambalandstore trying to pick up exclusive drops) will cause a stir on the showroom floor.
I remember the line wrapping around the booth each day a couple years back. On one of the days the line obscured a George RR Martin signing – this was before his popularity surged even higher with the Game of Thrones series on HBO. It was frustrating then, so I hope 3A will figure out how to ease the pain this time around.
Ashley Wood about our presence at SDCC and presenting one of the exclusive figures:
“Figured we would start the 6 week countdown to SDCC, SD13 to us at 3A! One of the exclusive toys that will only be offered only at SD13 is the 1/6th Medic Zomb. This year is different, there will be no pre-orders or reserving, hence the LIVE F5 tag. Each day will have an allotment, im sure someone at the 3A booth on the day will be able to tell you when they will available etc. We will do out best to slap flippers and deny purchasers who should know better!
The thing we look most forward to is seeing you guys, chatting and having a laugh, the toys are cool, but the chance to hang out is tops!
and before you ask, yup, he comes with new gun holding hands!”

Don’t be fooled – that’s not the sneak peek of the upcoming RoboCop unhelmeted headsculpt above, but judging by the progress in the Hot Toys update, I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes out looking like the real deal. Since Hot Toys also revealed this will come with a not-yet-revealed version of RoboCop, the only question is what it will be. I’m betting on a much more battle-damaged Murphy.
Still want either version of RoboCop or ED-209? You can pre-order all of the Hot Toys RoboCop figures at Sideshow Toys. BigBadToyStore is already sold out of their pre-orders.

Sure, Rambo is awesome and the Sylvester Stallone likeness is decent, but you want to know the best thing about this figure? Combined with the Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dutch from Predator figures, and you can finally have the 80s Green Beret / Special Forces action blockbuster starring Sly and Ahhhhnold that you created in your head, but that Hollywood somehow never managed to make.
Rambo is already available in NECA’s eBay store, and will be on retail shelves soon.
