It’s a Good Time to Jumpstart Your Mattel DC New 52 Collection at Amazon.com

Speaking of the New 52 – if 1/12 is your preferred scale, then it’s a good time to build up your DC Universe Classics collection. A while back it was hard to land even some of the mainstays of the New 52, but now Superman, Batman, and more are available at the normal $15.99 price at Amazon.com, qualifying for free shipping for purchases over $25.

Wonder Woman completes the trinity but is being sold by a third party for $19.99. She’s still being fulfilled by Amazon, so the free shipping still applies. Happy shopping!

Play Imaginative Reveals Super Alloy Diecast New 52 Superman

Play Imaginative is taking steps to establish itself as serious competition to Hot Toys in the 1/6 scale superhero market. Although its Marvel Iron Man 1/6 scale figures will have to be imported to the states, they’ve made inroads with its DC license. Superman in his New 52 costume is the first figure revealed since they made a splash with the Super Alloy Jim Lee Batman. He comes with a heat vision alternate head, the overall articulation looks impressive, and the crystal base reminiscent of the Fortress of Solitude has an innovative feature – a fan to give his fabric cape a real-time windblown look.

Last Day to Enter Sideshow Darth Vader Deluxe Sixth Scale Figure Giveaway

Sideshow Collectibles is holding a giveaway for its upcoming Darth Vader premium 1/6 scale figure. Vader will go up for pre-order tomorrow, but the contest entry period closes today.

I have not been able to access the Darth Vader photo gallery and pre-order info on the Sideshow Experience blog (the site throws an error) but people who have are saying the figure is expected in January 2014 and will be priced around $250. With the removable helmet and lights on the figure and base, I think this may be the one that brings me over to the Dark Side of 1/6 scale Star Wars figures.

Win Star Trek Gear from Hasbro, NECA, and More from IMAX

Did you see Star Trek Into Darkness yet? I just did (I know I’m late!) and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you’re not a Trek fan or your movie partner isn’t, no worries – my mom, who is definitely not a Trekkie, took me to see it and loved it!

In any case, IMAX is holding a Star Trek Into Darkness sweepstakes that includes a bunch of Trek gear, including the Hasbro KRE-O Enterprise ($49.99) and the NECA Star Trek Into Darkness Connect with Pieces puzzle ($12.99). If that’s not enough, the grand prize includes official uniforms, the Star Trek video game from Namco Bandai, and a bunch more.

It’s open until the end of the month, so enter the IMAX giveaway now. Continue reading “Win Star Trek Gear from Hasbro, NECA, and More from IMAX”

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Executioner, Masters of the Universe Classics Horde Trooper, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder

Marvel Legends Executioner by Stevid – while the Wrecking Crew might be a bit oversized, I hope that when Hasbro finally gets around to making the Executioner that they reuse that body – in the meantime, here’s your chance to add this essential Thor baddie to your collection – ends May 22, 2013 18:30:15 PDT

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