SDCC 2013: Hot Toys at the Sideshow Collectibles Booth

I had been wanting to get to the Sideshow booth to check out the Hot Toys displays – it’s always one of the highlights of SDCC for me. I got my chance yesterday afternoon – and would have had an Instapics post up sooner, if it wasn’t for the massive congestion in the cellular network. All afternoon, a lot of folks in the San Diego Convention Center were having trouble making calls and sending texts, not to mention uploading pictures to the AFPRon Instagram account. 😀

Despite frustrations trying to keep connected, the Hot Toys showing did not disappoint. As you might expect, there was a ton of Avengers and Iron Man figures on display, but when you add in Robocop, G.I. JOE, Lone Ranger, and the growing DC licenses, there was something good for everybody.

Watch Mattel’s Video Preview of the SDCC Exclusive Man of Steel Superman vs. General Zod 2-Pack

In other Man of Steel toy news, I missed this video preview from Mattel on the Man of Steel 2-pack featuring angry Superman vs Zod. I had guessed when Mattel first revealed the heat vision feature for Superman that the packaging would have an LED pointed at Superman’s head. I was wrong – the Superman figure has a button on his back that activates lights in his head.

While the button is not that intrusive, it wasn’t clear to me from the video if the light-up feature means that there’s no point of articulation for Supes’ head.

Watch Mattel’s Video Preview of the SDCC Exclusive Batusi Batman

MattyCollector’s Toy Guru has posted a video preview of the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Batusi Batman from the Classic TV Series. Once again they’ve got some pretty clever packaging that allows for Bats to dance with his fellow party-goers. An electronic sound chip plays the Batusi theme.

The action feature comes with some drawbacks, though – one is a relatively small lever in Batman’s back, but the big one is that it appears that his arms could be locked in the Batusi pose. I’m still on the fence for the series, but this probably means I’ll go for one of the Batmen available for pre-order on Amazon.
