What if Star Wars figures came out in Marvel Legends scale? – Star Wars Legends Concept Logo (read: fake)

Fans of 6-inch super-articulated figure lines like Marvel Legends and DC Universe Classics have long been hoping for scale-compatible figures from the Star Wars universe. It’s always been long odds, because Hasbro has been reluctant to rock the 3.75-inch boat that’s powered one of their only evergreen licenses. But the wait for 6-inch Star Wars may soon be over, according to this insider rumor posted at Rebelscum.com. Six-inch Star Wars figures may be coming our way, and the big surprise, if it can be believed, is that they won’t be coming to us from Hasbro.

Get the DC Collectibles Just-Us-League of Stupid Heroes for Half Off

Subscribers to the DC Entertainment newsletter were offered the DC Collectibles MAD Magazine Alfred E. Neuman mascot inspired Just-Us-League of Stupid Heroes action figures at half off. In addition to Superman, Batman, Robin, and Aquaman, you will also be able to pick up the rest of that usual gang of idiots. Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Flash, the Joker (is he really in the Just-Us-League?) , and a particularly hideous-looking Wonder Woman are all there for half price too.

Try this link to see if you can get the discount on the MAD Just-Us-League figures too. If it works, you should see a small message at the top of the web page saying you’ll get half off the items on the page.

The sale is supposed to be exclusive to newsletter readers, but hopefully I can share it with you. Against the rules? What me worry?

CustomCon 33 – Day Four

CustomCon 33 – Winter 2012

Welcome to CustomCon 33, the sixth installment to be hosted by TheFwoosh.com and ActionFigurePics.com!

What is CustomCon?

CustomCon is a special presentation of new custom toy creations by customizers around the globe. Ten years in the running, it’s still going strong. Inspired by the presentations of new product by legitimate manufacturers at Toy Fair and other trade shows, CustomCon is a “fake” convention, whereby customizers present their latest creations and recipes as if unveiling a new line of real toys to retailers. It’s always a lot of fun, for both the viewers and the participants.

If this is your first exposure to a CustomCon, click here to see what’s been offered over the past 32 CustomCons.

TREK TNG 25 Aniv - Group ShotCust Con 33 - TNG 25 Aniv 2012 Logo

Playmates has once again secured special license permission from Hasbro, to complete a wave of six figures celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Star Trek The Next Generation. Tying in with the release of the HD remastered version of the series by CBS, certain characters have been selected following feedback from fans at previous CustomCons. Special moulds have been used to recreate the style of the original figures from the 1990s. The centre pieces are Commander Riker and Guinan, but Admiral Theremin continues “The Lost Prophet” novels connection echoing Voyager’s Lieutenant Commander Arko and Klingon officer Commander J’Pon of past releases. A real surprise though is Dr Leah Brahms which many fans had hoped for since she was first mentioned in the Final Vote announcement back in CustomCon 9, in late 2003.
