Three A Toys Marvel Ultron Pre-Order High Res Pics

The 3A Toys Marvel Ultron is up for pre-order now at Bambaland in three colorways (classic, shadow, and ghost) for $220 each. These are shown with bluish white LEDs for the light-up function – 3A will send a red LED version upon request. After you’ve added Ultron to your shopping cart, there’ll be a message text box where you can enter a message to 3A’s customer service folks for your order.

Since I missed the 3AA window this year (by an hour, argh) I’ve been rethinking every item that’s gone into the shopping cart. The red LED option got my money, but I think that’s just icing – I probably would have pre-ordered Ultron regardless. I had a hard time choosing between classic and shadow. Classic won out in the end – hard to fight the chrome plated look.

Still need convincing? Check out these high-res images from 3A’s Ultron Look Book.

Hot Toys Reveals Batman Returns Figures

Michael Keaton Batman available solo or with Bruce Wayne in set

I know a lot of Batman fans that have a special place in their hearts for the Michael Keaton Batman. I’m fond of those movies and how they heralded the return of a more serious approach to the character on the big screen. But I can’t say I was a fan of Keaton in the role – he didn’t fit my image for an action movie star, and he didn’t fit my image for Bruce Wayne.

For those of you who do like Keaton as the Batman, Hot Toys has just revealed two more figures from the Batman Returns sequel. There’s Batman, of course, and then there’s Bruce Wayne. You can pre-order Batman individually, or in a set with Bruce Wayne at Sideshow Collectibles. I hope that Hot Toys continues to work on the Keaton head sculpt – it looks a little off to me at this stage.

Now who’s up for a Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman?

Border Patrol: Star Wars Chrome Trooper, Marvel Hulkbuster Iron Man, and Manny Pacquiao

For this edition of Border Patrol, we’ve got three custom action figures from the big (or little) screen.

Star War Black Series Chrome Trooper Captain Phasma by moomoo1366: One of the many exciting moments of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer is the appearance of a blinged out Stormtrooper. Captain Phasma, or the Chrome Trooper, is played by Gwendoline Christie, Game of Thrones’ Brienne of Tarth. That means she’s gonna be a bad-ass! Ends Wednesday, May 6, at 10:24AM PST
Marvel Legends Hulkbuster Iron Man by ingencorp_custom_figures: Even if you haven’t seen Avengers: Age of Ultron, you know that the fight between the Hulk and a pumped-up Iron Man is one of the highlights of the movie. This custom just goes to show you what a little paint can accomplish – that’s a Titan Tech series Iron Man, if you can believe that! Ends Wednesday, May 6, at 8:04PM PST
Manny Pacquiao by lucharaaan: Despite being defeated by Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a unanimous decision, the Pac-Man still reigns as the popular champ. While I’ve seen some vinyl customs of the pair leading up to their fight, I haven’t seen any of Floyd since his win. Ends Saturday, May 9, at 7:53AM PST

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

ThreeA Toys Marvel Ultron Up for Pre-Order May 6

I might still be in afterglow from seeing Avengers: Age of Ultron this past weekend, but I think Ultron may be the best Marvel figure to come from 3A Toys yet. Like their previous releases of Iron Man and Doctor Doom, Ultron will be available in three colorways – I am not sure if I prefer the plated chrome “classic” or the brushed metallic “stealth” version (the ghost white is not my thing).

Ultron will feature the Ashley Wood touches that we’ve seen in the other 3A releases, like the individually articulated fingers and over-sized feet, while some elements remain absolutely faithful to the Marvel design, especially Ultron’s head. The figure will have LEDs in the eyes, mouth, and chest – I was hoping for red, but they’ll be a bluish-white.

For the time-zone challenged, Ultron goes up for pre-sale at Bambaland on May 6 at 6PM PST.
