Hasbro Reveals Official Star Wars Black Series 6-Inch Details

Star Wars The Force Awakens Black Series

Since it’s officially Force Friday on the east coast, Hasbro has released the official details on its Star Wars offerings for this Fall. I’ve been doing my best to avoid as much hype as possible for The Force Awakens – I’m trying to recapture that feeling I had when I saw the original movies as a kid, knowing nothing about what I was about to see. I know, it’s pipe dream. In any case, by avoiding the news, I’ve managed to know next to nothing about the toys coming our way. So while this may be old news to everyone else, it’s new to me! 😀

Hasbro has a ton of product coming out – I am going to limit the this post to the Star Wars Black Series line. Unsurprisingly, almost all of the regular and retailer exclusive releases are for The Force Awakens. But there is one exception.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Action Vinyls Exclusive “Radioactive” Set (with Video)

The Loyal Subjects - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Action Vinyls - Radioactive exclusive 1

I’ve quickly become enamored with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Action Vinyl line by The Loyal Subjects. The Action Vinyls sport a decent amount of articulation for this category. When you couple the license (TLS also has G.I. JOE, Transformers, and Street Fighter and Masters of the Universe on the way) with the attitude-filled sculpts, consider me hooked.

One of their latest TMNT offerings is this “Radioactive” glow-in-the-dark set, which is exclusive to Hastings. If you’re new to the line, this is a pretty good set to pick up. It includes all four Turtles, which can be a little painful when you’re dealing with blind-boxed figures. And each comes with all the accessories that the blind-boxed figures have, excluding the character cards.

Vinyl Sugar Adds Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to its Dorbz Line

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Dorbz by Vinyl Sugar and Funko

Like its illegitimate parent Funko has done with its Pop! line, Vinyl Sugar is building out the licenses for Dorbz – the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are the latest addition to the line. You can already find Dorbz for DC Comics and Marvel, including the awesome Guardian of the Galaxy Dorbz. TMNT Dorbz will be available in October, with the four Turtles and villains Rocksteady and Bebop.

Also joining Dorbz in October, Jack Skellington and the gang from Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas.

Hot Toys Announces Nick Fury from Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Hot Toys Captain America The Winter Soldier Nick Fury 01

Ever since he made his cameo appearance in the post-credit scene in the first Iron Man movie, I’d been wondering if we’d ever get to see what’s underneath Nick Fury’s eye patch. And after appearing in another four movies (Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, and The Avengers) and the Agents of SHIELD TV show, we finally did, at the climax of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. How many eye-related puns did we have to endure in the process?

The eye reveal must have motivated Hot Toys to release a new Nick Fury. The first came a few years back as part of the Hot Toys Avengers line-up. I skipped it back then, and while I think the likeness to Samuel L. Jackson is improved, I’m not sure I’ll pull the trigger here either. The Avengers Fury came with a pistol, radio, rocket launcher, and the briefcase that housed the Tessaract. In comparison, the Winter Soldier Fury comes with a pistol, cell phone, arm sling, and an encrypted thumb drive to move the plot forward. Meanwhile, the price has crept up. I’ll have to keep an eye on this one. (Groan.)

You can pre-order the Hot Toys Captain America TWS Nick Fury at Sideshow Collectibles.

Pre-Order for Mondo Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Leonardo 1/6 Scale Figure Opens Thursday

Mondo one sixth scale Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Leonardo pre-order

What a coincidence – with Mondo’s Masters of the Universe 1/6 scale teaser, I found myself wondering when they would open up the pre-orders for their TMNT Leonardo, which I’ve been waiting for since seeing them at Comic-Con. They obliged with the answer – this Thursday!

Here’s where it gets interesting. There will be three offerings. First, a general release for $149.99 (great price!) that includes Leo with a bunch of accessories. Second, an exclusive limited for $159.99 to 500 pieces that includes everything, plus Shredder’s gauntlet from the first issue of the original Mirage comic book.

And finally, a TMNT subscription that will include the exclusive versions of Leo and the three remaining Turtles. Mondo anticipates the pre-orders to be spaced a month apart. For committing to all four Turtles, the cost drops back down to $149.99, for a total of $599.96 (in installments). The rub is that these will be limited to 200 subscriptions. The pre-orders will open up this Thursday, August 27. Better get there early!
