AFX New York Comic Con Exclusive Age of Apocalypse Minimates

I was on a self-imposed  hiatus from comics when AOA came out, but have tried to read it recently and still don’t get the appeal. The designs are interesting, though, and I do like the AOA Sunfire design that eventually made it into 616.

New York Comic Con is in 2 weeks, from October 8 – 10 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.

The Age Of Apocalypse is coming to NYCC

Hot off the presses and making their first internet appearance. It is our pleasure to present the AFX NYCC exclusive AOA Minimates!

Marvel Universe Masterworks Galactus and Silver Surfer Available on Amazon.com

I thought the deal at ToysRUs.com for the Marvel Universe Masterworks Galactus and Silver Surfer was good, but now Amazon has done one better. It’s the same price, $49.99, but it qualifies for free shipping and might be available to you without sales tax.

Need convincing? See Sandman’s Marvel Universe Masterworks Galactus and Silver Surfer.

DC Universe Classics Wave 17 – a Response by Cliff Francis

After we posted about the much-discussed rumored line-up for DC Universe Classics wave 17, we received this response from Cliff Francis. While I don’t often agree with his point of view, I do often find myself amused with how he tries gets his point across. On this topic, I think he has some interesting ideas. So, give it a read and see what you think!

You can also find Cliff at Costume Contumely, his blog about “Comic Books, Action Figures, and More.”

No Pot Of Gold At The End Of Mattel’s Rainbow

Did you enjoy the DC Universe Classics 6” action figure line by Mattel and the Four Horsemen? Did it take the place in your heart as THE DC Comics action figure line of all time? Did you have fun tracking down new figures and anticipating ones to come? Well I hope you got a lot of satisfaction out of it because it’s over.

Done. Finished.

It comes to and end next spring when Mattel will ship wave 17.

You think I’m joking?

Then clearly you haven’t been paying attention to the recent (as yet unsubstantiated) leak of the character assortment for that wave.

CFP – Sting and Triple H

Welcome back to another edition of CaptionFigurePics.com!

Submit your caption for this picture, from Buzzy, in the “Leave a Reply” section below, and get a chance to win some Free Stuff!

TNA Deluxe Impact S1 Sting 024.jpg

A few weeks ago, we ran this CFP of Spider-Man and Venom. As it was Talyn’s pic, he selected the winner, William McKean, for his caption: “..Dude! …Psssst*….Spidey… it’s me Venom, doesn’t it suck that we’re the only two decent figures in our line….” Congrats, William!

We won’t do this every single time, but for this CFP, I’m giving away two loose Mattel WWE figures from my Free Stuff pile. First, Batista, from WWE Basic Series 1. And second, the Ministry Undertaker from San Diego Comic-Con this year.

Please note: both figures are loose, and Undertaker’s left hip joint snapped when freeing his thigh swivel.

I was able to reassemble the joint (no glue), but it will come apart again if you do not handle the figure with care. Don’t worry, though, Undertaker stands with no issues and can be posed if you handle with care. And should the joint fall apart again, it’ll be easy to snap back together.

Hey, what do you want – it’s free! So get cracking on those captions, and good luck!
