Masters of the Universe Classics Trap Jaw Quick Pics

I hope you’ll forgive the makeshift photo setup.  Mattel was kind enough to give Masters of the Universe Classics figures to people who attended their collector event – I was lucky enough to get Trap Jaw.  We’re heading back home tomorrow, but my wife wanted to minimize the amount of stuff we are going to have to pack up – so since I was planning to open up Trap Jaw anyways, you’re getting the pics I could manage now instead of a few days from now.

DC Universe Classics Custom Freddie Williams II-Styled Robin by Buzzy Fret

Since I made a new Batman, could a new Robin be far behind?

When the DCUC Wave 3 Robin came out I was a little disappointed in it. The Mattel version has a great sculpt and good articulation but (IMO) it’s just too dang short for this version of Tim Drake. So a little over a year ago I made a custom Robin that was taller. After posting in my gallery on Fwoosh, it was snapped up by a BIG DCUC fan. Then I made 2 more for a couple people who also thought the DCUC Robin wasn’t right either. When it was all said and done, I still didn’t have a taller Robin on my shelf.

DC Direct March Solicitations

I think this is the first DC Direct solicitation I’ve seen in a while that doesn’t include at least one item from Blackest Night. No, the Sinestro Corps Lantern, while very cool, doesn’t count. I think it’s a brief respite, though, as I understand more Blackest Night figures are on their way.

DC Direct items solicited this month are due to arrive in October.

DC CHRONICLES: DEATH STATUE

SCULPTED BY MICHAEL LOCASCIO

The Sandman and his older sister, Death, are the next in the popular DC Chronicles statue line, celebrating the legacy of Vertigo!

As two of the seven siblings from The Endless, The Sandman and Death have epitomized the very essence of the Vertigo line:  smart, serious and edgy.  Written by New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman, The Sandman saga opened new horizons for comics and graphic novels.

The DC Chronicles statue line has a consistent base, and the retro-style logo on the base further gives the piece a sense of the period from which it originated.

These limited-edition, hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain statues measure approximately 7.75” high x 5” wide x 3.5” deep for The Sandman and 7.5” high x 5” wide x 3.5” deep for Death and each is packaged in a 4-color box with a 4-color Certificate of Authenticity.

Limited Editions.

Manufactured to order.

Sold separately.

Advance-solicited; on sale October 20, 2010 * Statues * $99.99 US The Sandman • $99.99 US Death

Toy Fair 2010 – Kotobukiya Marvel Pics

Kotobukiya Marvel (1024x576).jpg

These are a little out of my size and price range, but if Kotobukiya ever wants to send me some of their Marvel statues, I would make it work. 😀

They had on display statues from their upcoming ArtFX line for Iron Man 2 and Fine Arts line for Avengers and X-Men, although the mutants were 2D renderings of planned statues
