Play Imaginative to Release Jim Lee Super Alloy Superman Exclusive Edition at SDCC

Play Imaginative has whipped up an Exclusive Edition of its Super Alloy New 52 Superman that will be available at San Diego Comic-Con. It joins the Super Alloy New 52 Batman that is being re-released for SDCC after an initial release at the Singapore Toy, Games, and Comic Convention last year.

No word if this version of Superman will be any different than the Super Alloy Superman planned for general release – if it’s the same, it should feature a second head with heat vision eyes and a crystal fortress base that houses a fan to give the fabric cape the windblown look. Superman will be priced at $360, and we’ve heard Batman will go for $300. Both figures will be available at the Yes Anime booth #4729.

NECA Packages Exclusive Kick-Ass 2 Action Figures for San Diego Comic-Con

If you want the jump on Kick-Ass 2 action figures ahead of their planned release with the movie in August, then you’ll have to get your ass (or someone else’s) to San Diego Comic-Con, where the first of NECA’s line of Kick-Ass 2 figures will be available. And as a bonus, the SDCC versions will come with special packaging more aligned with the film’s R rating – they’ll be devoid of any censoring. To make the general release more retail friendly, any mentions of Kick-Ass and the Mother Fucker will appear on the regular packaging as KA and MFer.

It’s difficult to tell with the others, but I’m glad to see that Kick-Ass has got a lot more articulation than the one that NECA made for the first movie. That one was closer to a statue, while this one has Mattel hips, articulation in the torso, and elbros. That’s a big step up.

Diamond Select Toys Reveals Exclusive Marvel Select Iron Man 3 Battle-Damaged Mark 42 and Iron Patriot

I was kind of hoping the just-revealed new figure from Diamond Select Toys’ Iron Man 3 Marvel Select line would be some sort of Pepper Potts figure. After all, they wouldn’t have to change anything about the Mark 42 armor except to give it an alternate Gwyneth Paltrow head sculpt, right? (Sorry, spoiler!) Instead, we get a battle-damaged variant – a predictable but likely a highly-desired choice. If you had been wondering why DST made a War Machine figure when that version of the armor didn’t appear in the movie, DST Chuck revealed in the latest Ask DST that they often start work on a movie line before the movie is done. In the case of Iron Man 3, they had an early script that featured War Machine before the Iron Patriot re-deco.

The new Mark 42 and the Iron Patriot will be exclusive to Disney Stores and online outlets DisneyStore.com and MarvelStore.com next month.

Play Imaginative to Re-Release Jim Lee Super Alloy Batman at SDCC

Last fall, we saw Play Imaginative release an exclusive “special edition” 1/6 scale, diecast Batman at the Singapore Toy, Game, and Comic Convention. While the STGCC version of the Jim Lee-styled New 52 Batman has a glossy version, eventually specialty retailers like BigBadToyStore imported a matte version of the figure.

Now, with a New 52 Superman in the works, Play Imaginative is re-releasing an “event exclusive” edition of Batman. This looks to have the original glossy finish, all the accessories of the other versions, and an extra, angry head sculpt. The packaging looks to be identical to the special edition with the exception of a new special edition sticker. No word on cost yet, but I’ll see if I can find out.
