Retailer Exclusive WWRp Bertie Photo Contest – Failed Entry Number One

Last night I posted about OneSixthBruce’s photo contest to win a retailer exclusive WWRp Bertie. I think the three new colorways all look awesome, so I want to enter.

The theme is “every day 3a” – and you’re meant to take a picture of you with a 3A toy. Here was my first attempt:

I’ve been picking up singles of the Dirty Deeds 12-pack individually on eBay (I hadn’t started collecting these yet when they originally went on sale), and had been wanting to take pictures of them. So I took a picture of one of them using the photo backdrop I made a while back, and added my severed head – this version of the Dirty Deeds Bertie comes with 3 severed heads.

Unfortunately, I hadn’t yet seen the contest rule that plainly states, “No Photoshop to be used!” – back to the drawing board!

Win a Retailer Exclusive WWRp Bertie – OneSixthBruce’s Photo Contest

3A Toys has been shipping the retail versions of the Mk2 Berties from the World War Robot portable line to their retail partners (check out the Bambaland exclusive 7-pack and Dirty Deeds 12-pack). As a bonus to their retailers, they’re also shipping some retailer exclusives to selected partners.

OneSixthBruce, a UK-based retailer, is holding a photo contest to give away these exclusives. The contest is open until June 30th, and if you win, you only pay shipping. I *must* win that Ghost Hunter exclusive! 🙂

Hasbro Marvel San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives Press Pics – ToyFare 155

Lots of coverage of San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives in the latest ToyFare magazine, so pick up your copy today. We first heard about the Marvel Universe Ultimate Captain America and Ages of Thunder Thor exclusives back at Toy Fair – yes, ToyFare (the magazine) and Toy Fair (the industry show) – I still get confused.

And we knew the one who hungers was coming to retail, but just found out about the SDCC version of the Marvel Universe Galactus recently. He’ll come with the lights and sounds, but won’t come with Silver Surfer. I’m still trying to fathom just how big the cardback is going to be. I know it says 27 inches, but it’s hard to wrap my brain around that. Awesome!

EXCLUSIVE: Hasbro Marvel SDCC Exclusives

If you picked up ToyFare #155 (on sale now, donchaknow!), you have borne witness to something pretty awesome: three of Hasbro’s sure-to-be-red-hot exclusives for July’s San Diego Comic-Con. But since the only glimpse we gave you of Ultimate Captain America and Ages of Thunder Thor was our super-artsy cover image, I decided to throw some more images up on our blog of the figures under non-fancy lighting. Please note that these were prototypes, so the final paints probably won’t end up looking exactly like this. Ready for your WORLD-EXCLUSIVE?

And just for good measure, here’s the other Marvel SDCC exclusive from Hasbro: the 19-inch Galactus in an exclusive 27-inch tall blister card, featuring artwork by Joe Quesada!

Poll: Would You Buy DC Universe Classics Characters You Already Had If They Were Re-released with Updated Articulation?

DC Universe Classics Blue Beetle with Marvel Legends Spider-Man (1200x1200) — DC Universe Classics Wave 13 Blue Beetle with his highly-articulated counterpart, Marvel Legends Spider-Man

About a week ago, Sandman shared some pics of the new Blue Beetle figure showing off some action poses that were enabled by his new articulation. Although Mattel has already brought to market highly articulated figures of the DC Universe Classics, the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle features some new points – double-jointed elbows and knees, and wrist hinges.

Mattel says they will use the new articulation moving forward, but will consider what articulation makes sense on a character by character basis. In DC Universe Classics wave 14 and DCUC wave 15 (revealed yesterday), the next two upcoming waves to hit retail, so far none of the figures feature the new joints.

That begs the question, should they only use the new articulation moving forward or should they revisit figures they’ve already released? Let us know!

Leave a comment with your thoughts on this article (below) and you could win a DC Universe Classics Wave 11 Steppenwolf (Super Powers version) as part of an AFP Free Stuff giveaway! Entry period ends at 11:59PM PST on May 31st, 2010.

DC Direct June Solicitations

It’s a big day for action figures from DC – earlier, we had Mattel reveal wave 15 from DC Universe Classics, and here, DC Direct is revealing its action figure line for Batman: Arkham Asylum. Wow! It’s going to be a long wait until January.

BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM SERIES 1 ACTION FIGURES

It’s a madhouse … and the lunatics are running the asylum!

After arriving on Arkham Island, Batman is greeted by Warden Sharp and security personnel. Although The Joker is securely strapped to a handcart for transfer to the deepest bowels of Arkham, he escapes nonetheless. This is going to be the worst night of Batman’s life. With The Joker free, inciting unrest among the inmates, Batman faces a riot from a cadre of Gotham City’s most wanted: killers and psychopaths who are screaming for vengeance and out for blood. Batman’s blood. His mission? Stop The Joker – and his accomplices – at all costs.

Welcome to the asylum. Arkham Asylum.

BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM SERIES 1 ACTION FIGURES are based on the game designs of the “Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever.”

The Joker with Scarface – 6.7” h (The Joker), 2” h (Scarface)
Scarecrow – 6” h
Batman – 6.75” h
Harley Quinn – 6.5” h

All four figures feature multiple points of articulation and include a display base. Character-appropriate accessories are also included. 4-color clamshell blister card packaging.
