There have been some pretty random toy lines. And there have been some pretty long awaited toylines. For most, this would fit under the random category. But for me, it’s one I’ve waited for for years! Toys based on the greatest action figure tribute of all time, Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken!
I think the editorial staff at Toyfare is trying to dominate the search engine results for “WORLD PREMIERE” and “WORLD PREMIERING” – there’s going to be a lot to see in this issue, including a new 12-inch Star Wars line from Gentle Giant that I had heard nothing about before today. Cool!
Jazwares is launching its Robot Chicken line at San Diego Comic-Con with the Convention Nerd, to which I take great offense. 🙂
Looks like Entertainment Earth will have a bunch of exclusives from the smaller companies. In addition to this Jazwares exclusive, they’re also the place to pick up exclusives like the Venture Bros. figures from Bif Bang Pow and Thundercats Lion-O statue from Icon Heroes. (Correction – the Thundercats Lion-O statue will be available at the ActionFigureXpress booth.)
San Diego Comic Con 2010 is just 2 weeks away, and Jazwares and Cartoon Network Enterprises are proud to announce the availability of the very first figure from the highly-anticipated Robot Chicken toy line!
Toys“R”Us Exclusive “Convention Nerd” from Jazwares!
Now, fans can recreate their favorite Robot Chicken parodies, such as the Nerd’s visit to a Sci-Fi convention with this 5-inch action figure. Complete with a Top Hat, Sandwich, Magical Unicorn Mayonnaise Jar, Adult Swim swag bag and a 2010 San Diego Comic-Con t-shirt, the iconic Robot Chicken Nerd character is ready to geek out with fans.
“Convention Nerd” will ONLY be available at Entertainment Earth’s booth #2343 throughout the con and on Toysrus.com for $20*.
Plus fans can come meet the creators of Adult Swim’s Emmy Award-winning Robot Chicken and get their Convention Nerd autographed when Seth Green and Matt Senreich will be signing the figure at Entertainment Earth’s booth #2343 Friday July 23 from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm.
Fans who are not able to attend the show can still purchase the exclusive Toys“R”Us San Diego Comic-Con merchandise online at Toysrus.com/Collectibles starting Wednesday, July 21.
However, there is a limited number of each item, so fans should visit Entertainment Earth at booth #2343 or Toysrus.com/Collectibles early to purchase their Comic Con exclusives.
And be sure to pick up a copy of ToyFare #157 (available July 15) for exclusive pics of the rest of the line!
Our own Sandman has given us some good looks at Sonic and Knuckles and Tails and Silver. Now our good friends at Jazwares have given us a preview of some more 3-inch scaled Sonic the Hedgehog figures that are coming out later this year. Since they’re all pending licensor approval, don’t consider these final prototypes.
Sonic is still going strong and we have many new items on the way!
I wanted to give you a sneak peek of some Sonic figures due later this year.
You are free to show these just make sure you say they are “Pending Licensor Approval”.
