Age of Apocalypse Sunfire

I would have eventually taken pictures of this bad boy, who is still available on HasbroToyShop.com for $10.99, but this thread on TheFwoosh.com prompted me to do it today.  Apparently he is also available on sale at clearance retailer Tuesday Morning – if you don’t have any of those nearby, Sunfire is one of Hasbro’s better efforts, and is worth it at full price.

Don’t miss your chance at owning one of America’s finest motorcars… with a special, futuristic, time-traveling twist! Limited edition. 1:18 scale, 14-inches long. Compatible with 3 3/4-inch scale action figures, not included.

We saw it in the Diamond Select Toys showroom at Toy Fair and it looked sweet.  Unfortunately, the pictures we took turned out pretty bad.

Wolverine & The Ultimates Take Over Marvel Minimates

When Marvel Minimates first appeared on the scene in July of 2003 no one expected them to last for 28 superheroic waves. With these latest assortments the Marvel Minimates line shows no signs of slowing down!  Get ready for the first-ever Minimates based on The Ultimates in Series 27 and an all-star Series 28 featuring X-Men mainstays – including the much-anticipated Deadpool!

Comic book legends Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch launched The Ultimates in 2002 as a way to explore the Avengers without requiring readers to understand decades of built-up continuity.  The Ultimates quickly became one of the most anticipated books in the industry; winning awards and setting records.  Series 27 of the Marvel Minimates line will feature both key players and fan-favorites:  Ultimate Iron Man & Hulk, Ultimate Thor & Nick Fury, Ultimate Captain America and SHIELD Agent plus the variant Ultimate World War II Captain America.  With key accessories like Thor’s enchanted hammer, Cap’s shield and removable Iron Man armor, nothing will be able to stop your Ultimate Minimate army!

Not to be outdone, the 28th wave of Marvel Minimates also delivers an all-star lineup featuring Wolverine and key characters from X-Men history.  Fresh from their big-screen appearances in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, this series features core characters like Deadpool and Gambit in the comic-book costumes fans have come to know and love.  Series 27 includes Wolverine & Deadpool, Gambit & Psylocke, Sabretooth and a Skrull Soldier and the limited variant First Appearance Sabretooth!

Look for both of these all-star waves in the April issue of Diamond Previews and look for these in comic book stores nationwide this August!

The “March Mauling” Continues At FantasticExclusive.Com!

fanexsemifinals

The Semi-Final brackets for the Four Horsemens’ “March Mauling” are now up and awaiting your vote at FANtastic Exclusive (http://www.FANtasticExclusive.com), and we’re down to the “Fatal Four” as chosen by action figure fans worldwide.
 
The voting was fast and vicious this time around, lasting only a week, and the four victors mercilessly pummeled their competitors by a considerable amount. After more than 1,500 votes, the four characters chosen to compete in the next set of brackets are the Wolfbat, the Vampire Lady, the Raven and the Ministry of Hunters.
 
The Four Horsemen had this to say, “With some of the characters, the public already knew to which properties they belonged, but when it came to the new characters added this year, we purposely kept which properties they were from a secret just to see how action figure fans would vote simply based on the characters themselves.”
 
“You can’t imagine how astounded we are that all of the characters that made it into the “Fatal Four” are from our property, Gothitropolis. That kind of popularity seems to give legitimacy to the strength of Gothitropolis as a property.”
 
If you haven’t voted in FANtastic Exclusive yet, you’ve still got a chance to help to decide which two characters are going to survive and make it into the championship round beginning next Monday, and which two characters are going to be left broken and bloody on the Horsemens’ studio floor.
 
FANtastic Exclusive. Pray that you make it out alive…
