The Walking Dead TV Action Figures 25% Off – Today Only!

McFarlane The Walking Dead - 25 percent off one-day sale

The Walking Dead might be on Sunday nights, but it’s Wednesday and the McFarlane Walking Dead action figures from the TV series are on sale at Entertainment Earth for  25% off – just for today, so don’t miss out.

I’m not collecting these myself, but this might be a good time to jump on board, or just fill out your roster of survivors and walkers from the show. Almost all of the main cast from the past couple of seasons are available. (Daryl, Beth, Maggie, and Carl are the notables ones that aren’t.) And there’s zombies too, including Merle. Sorry if that’s a spoiler – hey, that happened a while ago!

Note: Our email digests are sent out once a day (we don’t want to clog your inbox when we post more than that), and some subscribers can miss out on these one day only sales. Please consider following AFP on Facebook, Google+, and Twitter for instant updates. Happy shopping!

Mattel Reveals Prahvus for Club 200X Final Week – Will He Be Enough?

Masters of the Universe Classics Club 200X Prahvus reveal

With less than a week to go, Mattycollector revealed the final figure, Prahvus – the Evil Master of Doom – for its under-subscribed and at risk Club 200X. As of the last official update, the six figure plus one exclusive accessory pack subscription was at 50% of the needed pre-orders to guarantee that all the figures would be made. (We looked at what might happen if Club 200X doesn’t hit its target in our last Soapbox Sunday.)

Prahvus joins Callix, Evil Seed, King Chooblah (the Kulatak Elder), Ceratus, and Queen Grayskull as the six figures in Club 200X. The Heads of Eternia exclusive accessory pack includes MOTU 200X heads for Grizzlor, Buzz-Off, Sy-Klone, Roboto, Snout Spout, and Clawful. The subscription period ends Monday, March 23 – if you were still on the fence, is Prahvus enough to get you to sub?

More Batman: The Animated Series, Arrow, and the Flash in DC Collectibles Solicits for October 2015

DC Collectibles October 2015 Solicits - Batman the Animated Series, Arrow, and The Flash

DC Collectibles’ solicits for October include figures that we saw during Toy Fair, from Batman: the Animated Series, Arrow, and The Flash.

In addition to a wave of figures for B:TAS that includes Bane and Nightwing, the line will also get its first vehicle – an in scale Batmobile (two feet long!) with working hatch, room for two 6-inch figures, and LED lights. At $99.95, it’s about double what Mattel charged for it’s 6-inch scaled Batmobile for the 1966 series – but less than half the $215 that Mattycollector wanted for the Ghostbusters Ecto-1.

So, who’s going to buy the B:TAS Batmobile (check out our video fly-by of the vehicle)? I’m on the fence.

Hot Toys Reveals Smoking Hot Avengers: Age of Ultron Black Widow

Hot Toys Avengers 2 Age of Ultron - Black Widow 08

ScarJo as the Black Widow is the latest Avenger from Age of Ultron to get a Hot Toys figure. She joins the Hulkbuster Iron Man, the Hulk, the Iron Man Mark XLIII, Captain America, and Ultron Prime.

I like the costume accents and all the accessories that distinguish this Black Widow from her previous figures from Captain America: the Winter Soldier and Iron Man 2, but still think they may need to make slight tweaks to the head sculpt. Maybe it’s those eyes that look to be vaguely focused off in the distance.

Haven’t seen the pre-order page go up yet, but I’ll be checking Sideshow Collectibles. Avengers Assemble! [Update: The Marvel Black Widow Marvel Sixth Scale Figure is now available to pre-order at Sideshow.]

Marvel Legends Thanos Wave – Batroc, Spider-Woman and Thanos

Although Amazon has moved up its delivery timeframe on the Marvel Legends Avengers Infinite Series, the Thanos wave still isn’t due to ship until late March / early April. I was lucky enough to be in Hong Kong, and even more fortunate that my wife convinced me to stop in the Toys R Us at the Ocean Terminal on our last day there. And even though I had a pre-order already, I couldn’t stop myself from picking up Batroc the Leaper and Spider-Woman.
