Marvel Legends Hulkbuster Wave Hi-Res Pics

Hasbro has released hi-res pics of the upcoming Hulkbuster wave of Marvel Legends, and we’ve got them here in all their glory. The wave consists of War Machine from Avengers: Age of Ultron, the Marvel Now! Iron Man, Doctor Strange, the Vision, Blizzard, a re-do of Valkyrie, and Thundra from the Lady Liberators.

It looks like you’ll have to pick up all seven figures to make the build-a-figure Hulkbuster – not a surprise given its size. Pre-orders have not yet hit for the wave, but I’ll keep searching for Marvel Legends at Entertainment Earth and Amazon, for where I usually find the best deals on cases and individual figures respectively.

“Soft” Breasts on Play Arts Kai Quiet Set off Twitter Storm

A tweet from game designer Hideo Kojima has set off a minor storm on Twitter among gamers. Kojima, the creator of Metal Gear Solid, posted pics of the upcoming Play Arts Kai Quiet, due for release on May 15, revealing that a supervisor of the action figure’s production, presumably from Square Enix, has stated the figure’s breasts will be made of soft material that allows them to be “pushed and lifted.”

Quiet is one of the playable characters to be featured in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, due out in September this year. It’s not the first time the character has been the center of some controversy. When she was first introduced, Kojima tweeted about having game designers make her more “erotic,” then later offered an explanation of what he meant.

Three A Toys Marvel Ultron Pre-Order High Res Pics

The 3A Toys Marvel Ultron is up for pre-order now at Bambaland in three colorways (classic, shadow, and ghost) for $220 each. These are shown with bluish white LEDs for the light-up function – 3A will send a red LED version upon request. After you’ve added Ultron to your shopping cart, there’ll be a message text box where you can enter a message to 3A’s customer service folks for your order.

Since I missed the 3AA window this year (by an hour, argh) I’ve been rethinking every item that’s gone into the shopping cart. The red LED option got my money, but I think that’s just icing – I probably would have pre-ordered Ultron regardless. I had a hard time choosing between classic and shadow. Classic won out in the end – hard to fight the chrome plated look.

Still need convincing? Check out these high-res images from 3A’s Ultron Look Book.

Border Patrol: Star Wars Chrome Trooper, Marvel Hulkbuster Iron Man, and Manny Pacquiao

For this edition of Border Patrol, we’ve got three custom action figures from the big (or little) screen.

Star War Black Series Chrome Trooper Captain Phasma by moomoo1366: One of the many exciting moments of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer is the appearance of a blinged out Stormtrooper. Captain Phasma, or the Chrome Trooper, is played by Gwendoline Christie, Game of Thrones’ Brienne of Tarth. That means she’s gonna be a bad-ass! Ends Wednesday, May 6, at 10:24AM PST
Marvel Legends Hulkbuster Iron Man by ingencorp_custom_figures: Even if you haven’t seen Avengers: Age of Ultron, you know that the fight between the Hulk and a pumped-up Iron Man is one of the highlights of the movie. This custom just goes to show you what a little paint can accomplish – that’s a Titan Tech series Iron Man, if you can believe that! Ends Wednesday, May 6, at 8:04PM PST
Manny Pacquiao by lucharaaan: Despite being defeated by Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a unanimous decision, the Pac-Man still reigns as the popular champ. While I’ve seen some vinyl customs of the pair leading up to their fight, I haven’t seen any of Floyd since his win. Ends Saturday, May 9, at 7:53AM PST

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!

ThreeA Toys Marvel Ultron Up for Pre-Order May 6

I might still be in afterglow from seeing Avengers: Age of Ultron this past weekend, but I think Ultron may be the best Marvel figure to come from 3A Toys yet. Like their previous releases of Iron Man and Doctor Doom, Ultron will be available in three colorways – I am not sure if I prefer the plated chrome “classic” or the brushed metallic “stealth” version (the ghost white is not my thing).

Ultron will feature the Ashley Wood touches that we’ve seen in the other 3A releases, like the individually articulated fingers and over-sized feet, while some elements remain absolutely faithful to the Marvel design, especially Ultron’s head. The figure will have LEDs in the eyes, mouth, and chest – I was hoping for red, but they’ll be a bluish-white.

For the time-zone challenged, Ultron goes up for pre-sale at Bambaland on May 6 at 6PM PST.
