Transformers Masterpiece Optimus Primal by GetRightRobot – I’ve never seen a Transformer with actual fur, but with this Beast Wars Optimus Primal I think it works pretty damn well – this was a collaborative effort with painter Encline Designs – ends Jun 16, 2013 19:00:45 PDT

Border Patrol: Boba Fett Helmet, Marty McFly Head Sculpt, and Marvel Legends Rescue from Iron Man

I usually post Border Patrol on Tuesdays, but am a little behind schedule. Luckily, the auctions I had spotted are still available – this week I found a trio of customs that range from life-size to 1/12 scale.

Life-Sized Boba Fett Helmet Replica by jono1974 – with SDCC around the corner, I’ve been thinking about the Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett exclusive – if I got this helmet for myself, I’d have to call myself Chubby Fett – ends Jun 07, 2013 18:33:22 PDT

Incoming: Hot Toys Dark Knight Catwoman, Avengers Hulk, G.I. JOE Retaliation Snake Eyes, and More

Hot Toys fell a little behind on its original schedule for some of these figures, but it looks like it’ll be worth the wait. I can’t get over how humongous the Hulk is – I’ve seen quite a few pictures of him prior to this but nothing that drove home his size like this. I’ve got him and Catwoman on my list. How about you?

If you’re still looking to pick any of these up, Catwoman, Snake Eyes, and Barney Ross are available to pre-order at Sideshow, and Hulk is available to pre-order at BigBadToyStore.

Hey Hot Toys fans,

As the Iron Man Mark VII Collectible Figurines are continuing to be shipped out, we would like to share a sneak peek with you today on the products coming next in the near future.

Hot Toys Upcoming Releases

Be expected to see Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises, Hulk from The Avengers, Mark VII Collectible Bust from Iron Man 3, Barney Ross from The Expendables 2, and Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe Retaliation!

Stay tuned and thanks for your support!

I’ve been waiting for them to reveal their Iron Patriot, and am wondering if the other figure in the second wave of Marvel Select Iron Man 3 figures will be another armor altogether or if it will be something like a Gwyneth Paltrow headsculpt in the Mark 42 armor.

Happy Memorial Day! Add Captain America to Your Marvel Legends Collection

I know. If you collect Marvel Legends you’ve already got a metric ton of Captain America figures – but it’s Memorial Day, and instead of coming up with original content for you, I’ve been thinking about friends and relatives who’ve served their countries. But back to the subject at hand – as I considered each of these versions of Cap, I found it interesting that they’ve all got guns. When I was a kid, Cap was the Boy Scout on the Marvel side like Superman was at DC Comics. While Steve Rogers could use the shield as a weapon, its first use was always as a defense for Cap and his allies.
