Gentle Giant Deadpool Statue Preview?

When I posted the Black Cat preview from Gentle Giant earlier, I mentioned the announcement from the Gentle Giant homepage – this image of Deadpool was one of the teasers. They’ve already built out the categories of Marvel products, and there’s one called “Statues w/Vehicles” – I imagine that this is going to go in that category, and it is an awesome start.

As you may know, I’ve been a fan of Deadpool and his scooter for some time now. (Please pardon the link to my “dead as that guy Deadpool shot” customs website.)

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 3/15/11

We didn’t get the answers for the 3/15 edition of Ask Matty until late in the evening, so we’ll open up the day with them.

Thanks to the Mattel team!

1) We very much enjoyed all you had on display at Toy Fair. For DC Universe Classics, it seems like there was a move to themed waves with Blackest Night and Superfriends.
