Webswipe: Gotham Action Figures Coming from Diamond Select Toys – TV Insider

Diamond Select Toys Gotham action figures

If you thought DC Collectibles had the lock on action figures for DC’s live action TV shows, Diamond Select has got news for you. They’re producing action figures for Gotham, the hit TV show that Fox renewed for a second season back in January. The first wave, which we’ll see in person at San Diego Comic-Con this summer, will include Jim Gordon, Oswald Cobblepot, and Selina Kyle.

Similar to how DST handled the Sin City Select action figures, the Gotham figures will be in 7-inch scale and come with play sets, like the pier base that comes with Cobblepot. No word yet if they’ll use the “Select” style packaging in use for Marvel, Star Trek, and Sin City or if the line will be known as Gotham Select. But we do know to expect the figures this fall, for $24.99 a pop.

Marvel Legends EU Disney Store Exclusive Avengers 5-Pack – High Res Pics

Marvel Legends EU Disney Store exclusive - package

A short while ago we came across an Instagram post of this Avengers-themed Marvel Legends 5-pack. With the Disney Store marking, we learned it was to be exclusive to the retail chain, but only in the European Union stores. Since the exclusive is comprised of re-issued figures, its exclusivity outside the United States wouldn’t raise much interest or concern. However, keen observers noted that a new interchangeable head for Tony Stark was included with Iron Man. Hard to imagine that the smallest piece in this pack could be the most sought after, but stranger things have happened.

Hasbro has shared high res pics of the set with us.

Star Wars Celebration 2015 - Sideshow Collectibles booth pics

With all the excitement over Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, it’s tough to be sitting at home instead of being on the floor at Star Wars Celebration. Luckily, Sideshow Collectibles has posted shots of their booth in the Anaheim Convention Center.

We’ve swiped a few of them for you here, including some life-size stuff, statues, and some of the McQuarrie concept and new 1/6 scale figures, but there’s a whole lot more in Sideshow Star Wars Celebration 2015 Booth Tour. Enjoy!

Weekend Toy Run: The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart Exclusively at LEGO Shop

LEGO Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart 71016

LEGO VIP members will have exclusive access to the new LEGO Kwik-E-Mart set until the end of April. While I don’t think it’s quite as inspired as the inaugural set, the LEGO Simpsons House, it’s still a highly visited location on the show. And of course, there’s the mini-figures – you’ll get Homer, Bart, and Marge again (if you have the Simpsons House), but then there’s Chief Wiggum, Snake, and Apu. Apu!

Now, if I were the LEGO brand manager for Simpsons, I’d make Springfield Elementary next. Who wouldn’t want minifigures of Groundskeeper Willie, Principal Skinner, Edna Krabappel, and Otto the bus driver – not to mention the students. Nelson Muntz? Haa haa!

If you’re not a LEGO VIP, it’s easy and free to sign up. As a VIP member, you’ll get loyalty points for every purchase at shop.lego.com and in LEGO retail stores, and access to special promotions like this one.
