Hasbro Marvel Legends 2013 Wave 1 Wolverine and Archangel

Marvel Legends 2013 - Wolverine and Archangel

I figured after posting the group shot and packaged pics of HML 2013 wave 1, I would ease us in with the two figures that are purely re-decos – Wolverine and Archangel, who were both in Hasbro’s SDCC exclusive Uncanny X-Force 3-pack last summer. I’ll admit that when I first saw at San Diego that Hasbro would be reissuing these figures in just a few month’s time, I had flashbacks to the SDCC 2011 exclusive Marvel Legends Thor and his subsequent re-release in the first wave of (Return of) Marvel Legends. With Thor, at first I was disappointed with the announcement but was ultimately pleased with the retail re-release – and with these two X-Men, I went through the same.

Steve Jobs 1/6 Action Figure Available for Pre-Order from legendstoys.jp

Steve Jobs from legendstoys.jp 1

When the 3A Toys AP-PEL Caesar was released, I was amazed that a businessman had become enough of a cultural icon to warrant an action figure – even if it was a tablet-toting robot. This 12-inch action figure of Steve Jobs from legendstoys.jp turns it up a notch or two, with its lifelike head sculpt, signature clothing from mock turtleneck down to the New Balance kicks, and sofa and apple accessories.

If you followed this series of posts from the toyhaven blog, it looks like this is an attempt to sell a Steve Jobs figure originally marketed by in icons that was ultimately stopped just yesterday, after pressure from Apple and Steve Jobs’ family. The repackaged figure lists at $199 (with shipping included), double the $99 price that in icons had for it, and swaps out the Apple products (iPhone and iPad) for a 1/6 scaled apple – likely an attempt to stave off more legal hassles from Apple.

Masters of the Universe Classics Ram Man *Not* for Sale Today

MattyCollector 1-15 Sale

Missing something? If you did not sign up for Club Eternia for 2013 and were hoping to snag the sure-to-be-an-instant-sell-out Masters of the Universe Classics Ram Man today, save your F5 button for another month – Ram Man is delayed. I suppose we should have expected it. After all, our friend Logistics has struck the MOTUC line for four months running now. Maybe it’s time for Mattel to just acknowledge that they’re off by a month now and adjust the schedule accordingly – at least before the next line-up announcement at Toy Fair next month.

What’s left is somewhat tepid sales day in Ram Man’s absence. We’ve got Princess of Power Netossa for Club Eternia, Blue Lantern Saint Walker for Club Infinite Earths, and… hold on, Rorschach is here to save the day for Club Black Freighter (do you mind if I just call it the Watchmen sub from now on?) So, maybe January isn’t so bad after all! Hurm.

For your convenience, here’s the MattyCollector bundle page for January. And if you are a subscriber, here’s the login page for subscriptions. Early access is also available through the top navigation there. Inexplicably, it’s not linked anywhere on the regular MattyCollector page.
