Not sure if this is just coincidence or conspiracy, but both Hot Toys and Diamond Select Toys had teasers for Iron Man 2 today.  First, Hot Toys teased an IM2 announcement coming tomorrow with two posters from the movie.  I’d love to have the kind of cash to be a completist on their Iron Man 1/6 scale figures.  As it is, I’m getting the upcoming battle-damaged Mark III armor from the first movie and will probably be satisfied with that – but if they announce a War Machine I’m sunk.

Next, DST showed off Marvel Minimates Series 35 – an Iron Man 2 assortment – but still had three of the 7 Minimates in silhouette.  One of them is War Machine, another is another Iron Man armor – Mark VI? – and the last is an army builder,  so I’m guessing it’s not a ScarJo Black Widow.  If it is, that silhouette isn’t very flattering. 😉

Action Figure Xpress Exclusive X-Men Minimates Four-Packs

Marvel Minimates X-Factor

Action Figure Express has two sets of X-Men Minimates on the way.  Each set will feature four of the original X-Men, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, and Beast – in their X-Factor and first appearance costumes.  You can pick up the fifth member, Angel, in his X-Factor costume in a Toys R Us two-pack with Warpath.  I’m not sure if there’s been a first appearance Angel announced.

The four-packs are due to arrive in December, and are available for pre-order now.

Marvel Minimates Series 34 Jean Grey Revealed

Somehow during the weekend I missed putting this up. Jean Grey in her 90’s costume is the final figure in Marvel Minimates Series 34.

Here’s the entire wave, which also features Cyclops, Beast, and Rogue, also in their Jim Lee 90’s duds, and Black Queens Jean Grey and variant Selene with the Hellfire Club Guard army builder.

Marvel Minimates Series 34 Black Queen Selene Variant Revealed

Alright, DST fooled me by saying “Jean Grey is  not the variant” – did anyone guess Selene?  This still leaves two spots in the lineup for Marvel Minimates Series 34.  I’m still hoping for more Hellfire Club, but I think anything X-Men goes now.
