Announcing the AFP Iron Mania Week (and Giveaway!)

Iron Man 2 - Iron Monger and Crimson Dynamo.jpg

Chances are, if you’re a fan of AFP, then you’ve seen the Iron Man movie, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the title character. And you probably know that the sequel, Iron Man 2, Metallic Boogaloo (I made that up) is opening this upcoming Friday, May 7.

Because we’re such big fans of Iron Man, this week we’re celebrating Iron Mania – each day (we hope) we will have Iron Man toy-related content, all leading up to the premiere of Iron Man 2. Then, on premiered day, we’ll hold a Free Stuff drawing and give away this prize pack consisting of two Iron Man baddies, Iron Monger and Crimson Dynamo. Iron Monger is from the Movie Series and was the villain from the first movie. Crimson Dynamo is from the Comic Series and is a classic Iron Man villain.

To find out how to qualify to win the Iron Mania prize pack, check out our Free Stuff page. Good luck and enjoy AFP’s Iron Mania!

Marvel Select Thing Packaged Pics

It’s a matter of personal preference, but I don’t think of the Fantastic Four’s Thing as massive in the same was as I do the Hulk or the Abomination. I’d prefer it if he were no taller than Mr. Fantastic, but still pretty broad.

That said, I think the upcoming Marvel Select figure has got the best sculpt for an action figure of the Thing that I’ve ever seen. The last shipping update we got from Diamond Select Toys didn’t include a date for the Thing, but some sites have him listed as coming out in early May.

It’s Marvel Select CLOBBERIN’ TIME!

Next installment of our Marvel Select…The THING!!!

And let me tell you… this packaging…it’s really freakin’ heavy.

It’s like he’s made of rocks or something…

NECA Announces Web of Spider-Man HeroClix

Looks like with the Web of Spider-Man HeroClix series, you’ll get the chance to pick up a First Appearance Spider-Man HeroClix as some kind of mail-in promotion. I might have to pick up a HeroClix Deadpool and make a Marvel Legends Icons-sized Rhino to go with him. 😀

Marvel Select Magneto Prototype Pics

Here’s a couple of protoype pics, unpainted and painted,  from the Art Asylum blog of the upcoming Marvel Select Magneto. I first saw this figure at Toy Fair – he’ll come with both interchangeable heads, with and without his helmet.

Because He’s EVIL

Really, it explains everything about this newest addition to the Marvel Select line.  Why does he look like he’s about to destroy everyone? Why is he standing over the wreckage of the X-Mansion?  Why does he have such an angry look?  Why is his back turned when clearly someone is trapped in the rubble?  The answer to all of these questions is “Because he’s EVIL”  Well, truth be told, the whole arm-of-Colossus thing on the base is because yours truly is a little whcked in the head and felt like having some sick fun with the fans (I guess this means I’ll have to do a Colossus Select figure as a future make-good, huh?).  The Master of Magnetism is sculpted by Gabriel Marquez and painted by Ed Wires.
