Captain Picard is the Next Star Trek Select Figure, Beaming Down This Fall

Star Trek Select Jean Luc Picard 2

Jean Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation is the next character to receive the Star Trek Select treatment from Diamond Select Toys, following Mr. Spock and Captain Kirk from the Original Series. He’ll be on specialty retailer shelves this fall and available for pre-order from your LCBS next week.

No word yet on whether he will feature interchangeable parts like Spock and Kirk do, but he does come with a detailed base featuring a downed Borg. You will be assimilated.

Sideshow Collectibles Previews Life-Sized Iron Man

Speaking of life-sized Iron Men that I can’t afford, Sideshow Collectibles is coming out with a 1:1 scale figure (read: statue) of the Mark 42 armor. The Sideshow life-sized Terminator T-800 Endoskeleton is priced at $5,999.99, so I’m expecting something in that neighborhood for Iron Man. Might not be quite that expensive, since it might be a little easier to produce.

Hot Toys Iron Man Suit Up at Hysan Place: Life-Sized vs 12-Inch Hall of Armors, Armor Concept Designs, and Virtual “Become Iron Man” Video

Here’s a few more pics from the Iron Man 3 Suit Up at Hysan Place in Hong Kong. I am totally digging the juxtaposition of the life-sized armors with Hot Toys’ 1/6 versions.

Maybe if I win the Powerball I’ll build my own Hall of Armors – sadly, that comment applies to both scales.

Diamond Select Toys Shares New Pics of Iron Man 3 Marvel Select Figures

Remember when Marvel Select figures were almost like statues, with a few swivel cuts here and there? DST may be limited to 16 points of articulation on Select figures, but with the new style joints, they’ve got ridiculously good movement these days. The Mark 42 and War Machine figures are great examples, as illustrated by the new pics that DST has shared. I’m looking forward to seeing their Iron Patriot, and I wonder if the second exclusive they’ve teased will have a more feminine appeal.

New Photos of ‘Iron Man 3′ Marvel Select Figures!

Iron Man 3 is less than one month away, and Diamond Select Toys is hard at work on their Marvel Select action figures for the movie! Iron Man Mark 42 and War Machine were designed by Gentle Giant based on digital data from the film, and will stand approximately 7.5″ tall with 16 points of articulation.

Each will include an armor bay diorama base, and come packaged in DST’s display-ready Select figure packaging. They’ll be exclusively available at comic shops and specialty stores starting this summer, so check out these new photos and pre-order today! And stay tuned for news on the exclusive Iron Patriot figure and a second exclusive figure to be revealed!

WALKING_DEAD_TOYS_575

MTV Geek has a great Twitter giveaway (of the standard follow and retweet variety) that ends on Friday, for a complete set of The Walking Dead Series 3, signed by Todd McFarlane. I saw the bloody Michonne plus Zombie Pets 3-pack at my local Toys R Us today, and it was priced at $39.99 – and individually, Michonne and co. are listed at $16.99 each on ToysRUs.com (saw none on the shelves), so this would be a sweet set to win.
