Thanksgiving Toy Run: Avengers S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier on Sale for $39.99 at ToysRUs.com

As a Rewards R Us member, I saw that the Marvel Universe SHIELD Helicarrier would be on sale in Toys R Us stores for Thanksgiving. Thankfully, I was spared having to write a diatribe about how TRU should stop treating its online customers different from its brick and mortar customers, because the Helicarrier is also on sale for $39.99 on the TRU.com website.

I won’t go so far as to call it the USS Flagg of the Marvel Universe generation, but I doubt we’ll ever see another vehicle this large from Hasbro’s Marvel team any time soon. At half off it’s a good deal, and you’ll only need to add $10 to your cart to trigger free shipping. You could also wait until TRU opens their doors at 5PM tonight to look for one in the stores – but does anyone want to go out shopping right after a big turkey meal? Isn’t Black Friday in the wee hours punishment enough? Happy Thanksgiving!

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Beta Ray Bill, Nova Prime, and Wonder Man

Marvel Legends Beta Ray Bill Marvel Legends Nova Prime Marvel Legends Wonder Man

This week, I found some more custom Marvel Legends that I’d like to have in my collection.

  • Marvel Legends Beta Ray Bill by Leech Customs – whether you prefer the Marvel Select Thor or the newer Marvel Legends Thor, the problem is that your Beta Ray Bill from back in the Toy Biz days is now a bit undersized – I’ve been thinking for a while about transposing some parts onto a newer Wrecking Crew body, and now I can see it will work out just great – as an added bonus, Stormbreaker has been enhanced with a very nice handle that hangs the way it should, no matter what position the hammer is in – ends Nov 28, 2013 18:54:15 PST
  • Marvel Legends Nova Prime by Draubner – there’s some really nice sculpting work on the armor pieces added to this custom, and the paint work is nice too – comes with alternate unmasked head and a custom base – ends today, Nov 26, 2013 07:40:37 PST
  • Marvel Legends Wonder Man by Stevid Customs – there’s so many characters that would benefit from the new Hyperion body, and Stevid is working through them – this week he’s not only got Wonder Man, but also Luke Cage and Gladiator – ends Nov 27, 2013 18:09:37 PST

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

Customizers, don’t forget to check out the submission guidelines for CustomCon 36. Submission deadline is this Friday, November 29 – contact me if you want to enter but need more time.

Damn, I love me some Deadpool! And X-Force Deadpool brought the character back from the abyss that Daniel Way dropped him in when he took over the title from Fabian Nicieza. But in the X-Force gray and black, you’ve got to hope for the rest of the team to come along. Yes, even Fantomex.

Hot Toys Reveals Avengers Chitauri Footsoldier, Commander, and Two Figure Set

Hot Toys Chitauri Footsoldier and Commander Set 1

It’s been well over a year since Hot Toys teased the Chitauri footsoldier from the Marvel Avengers movie. In that time, we’ve already seen the post-Avengers Iron Man and Thor sequels. But I suppose the wait has been worth it, because they not only officially revealed the grunt, but threw in a commander and a 2-pack featuring both figures, for the army builders out there.

But if Hot Toys really wants to impress, let’s see an in-scale Leviathan. As awesome as they are, I think that might be out of their reach. 😀
