Iron Man 2 Minimates Packaged Pics

I’m not sure if Art Asylum had previously revealed that the final black silhouetted Iron Man would be the Mark V armor.  I am usually not a fan of movie-oriented figures, but Iron Man 2 may be too hard to resist.

Oh yeah… these puppies just flew into the office today. I’m in Iron Man 2 Heaven!

Marvel Minimates Series 32 – Iron Man, Titanium Man, Cable, X-23, Yellowjacket, Goliath, and Kree Soldiers

I am in love with Art Asylum’s Marvel Minimates. Yes I am. I have always seen these guys in my local comic book shop and at Toys R Us, I always thought they looked interesting, but I never gave in to buying them. When I saw the Series 28 Deadpool, I was so impressed with the detail and the wealth of accessories that I decided to pick him up. Open the floodgates. I was an official Minimates collector. I know I’ll never be a completist with this line starting so late, but I do notice that Art Asylum has been updating some of the previous Marvel characters they have done before. So there’s still a chance to catch up on some characters that I’ve missed!

Today we’ll have a look at Series 32. If you’re a die-hard Minimates fan, you’ve probably picked these guys up already as they came out around January. For the curious, read on and see if Minimates are something you’d be into!

Series 32 includes four sets: Iron Man and Titanium Man, Cable and X-23, Yellowjacket and Kree Soldier, and the variant set of Goliath and Kree Soldier.

Marvel Select Spider-Man Packaged Pics

Even after reading the description I had a hard time discerning that the base for the upcoming Spider-Man figure is a smashed car.  Seems a little uninspired after seeing the Danger Room base for Cyclops.

Marvel Select Spider-Man swings your way

Here it is in all it’s final production in package glory, Marvel Select Spider-Man! This figure features a highly detailed sculpt by the one and only Digger. It also features a crazy smashed compact car base. Look for it in comic stores near you soon!

Marvel Select Cyclops with Danger Room Base Press Pics

I hope that the Danger Room base that is coming with the Marvel Select Cyclops (and the follow-on bases that Diamond Select Toys keeps teasing) proves out the concept that connecting bases would be a great pack-in for an action figure line.  Just don’t call it Build-A-Diorama.

Marvel Select Cyclops Update!

By now you should have seen the upcoming Marvel Select Cyclops figure and his amazing Danger Room base, but as always this Marvel Select release has more than meets the eye!  While the traditional Silver Age Cyclops will be the most readily available version (the recently released Silver Age Marvel Girl is glad to hear that!) – there will also be an alternate X-Factor Cyclops included in each case (that makes 4 Silver Age Cyclops and 2 X-Factor Cyclops).

The only way to get your grubby little X-paws on the variant Cyclops is to purchase a full case through Previews though, so make sure your retailer of choice knows that they need to add this figure to their order form.
