Bill has been on a tear lately, and is back with his latest action figure comic. When Alfred is “Taken,” Batman demonstrates that he has a very particular set of skills! Be sure to check out the rest of Bill’s work here at AFP and at Bill’s Comics.
Thursday morning we’ll see the start of Mattycollector’s June sale with Early Access, and then Thursday night they’ll close up their SDCC voucher sale.
The June sale is all Masters of the Universe Classics. The two primary Club Eternia releases are Sssqueeze (the monthly for June) and Multi-Bot (a quarterly deluxe figure). Both won’t be available during Early Access, because I suppose Mattel continues to think it doesn’t make sense to give your best customers (the subscribers) the chance to buy more figures. They do have Snake Face (April 2013) and Tung Lashor (November 2014) up again. And, because these are probably selling poorly, the Giant Man-At-Arms will be available in Early Access too. Early Access for June starts at 8AM PT on 6/11. All Access is at 9AM PT on 6/15.
The mystery items that were not available at the start of the SDCC voucher sale were revealed to be Halo exclusives from Mega Blocks (a micro figure pack) and BOOMco (foam dart guns that we can’t say are from Nerf). Three items have sold out so far – two of the three Ever After / Monster High dolls, and the Hot Wheels Marvel Secret War 3-pack. Everything else is still up for grabs. Happy shopping!

We’d previously seen glimpses of the Dawn of Justice Batmobile and costumes for Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman when the LA Clippers’ DeAndre Johnson visited the Batman Exhibit at the Warner Bros. VIP Studio Tour Hollywood. Now we’re getting a closer look as Warner Bros. begins its hype-building machine at the Licensing Expo this week in Las Vegas.
They’ve sent us some nice high res shots of the Batmobile, including its interior, as well as the costumes – I imagine they’ll look brighter and more vibrant in these pics than they will in the final movie, due out March next year, if WB uses the same color processing they did for Man of Steel. I’m guessing we’ll be seeing the Batmobile and these costumes again next month, at San Diego Comic-Con. If so, we’ll get more pics then. Stay tuned!
A couple of weeks ago, we tweeted about what looked to be a Star Wars Black Series Stormtrooper from The Force Awakens on eBay. (Amazingly, that Stormtrooper auction closed at over $1,000!) We have continued to see auctions for these, like this one, but one in particular has given us new clues as to how the figure may eventually be sold – as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive.
This auction for a “First Order Stormtrooper” is the first we’ve seen that includes pictures of packaging – and it looks too authentic to be a hoax. It’s different from anything we’ve seen from existing retail packaging for the Black Series, and the presence of a slip cover and auction details describing an included booklet (with photo labeled “Evolution of the Stormtrooper”) leads us to believe this will be a Star Wars exclusive for SDCC.
We’re overdue for SDCC details for Star Wars from Hasbro, but perhaps with conflict between hype and secrecy about The Force Awakens, there’s an embargo on any movie-related info. What do you think – is this legit?

Bill is back with his latest action figure comic. In “That She May See,” Daredevil hopes to help someone with whom he can truly empathize – a little girl who has lost her eyesight in a car accident… and finds himself up against the likes of A.I.M., Batroc, and more! Be sure to check out the rest of Bill’s work here at AFP and at Bill’s Comics.
