Mattel Reveals SDCC Exclusive Man of Steel Movie Masters Superman vs General Zod 2-Pack

Mattel Man of Steel Superman vs Zod 1 Mattel Man of Steel Superman vs Zod 2

When Mattel announced the DC Universe Man of Steel Movie Masters 2-pack, they just had a single picture of the front of the package. Now they’ve provided additional (albeit small) images that show the back of the package, how the diorama is set up inside and out of the packaging, and a shot simulating how the heat vision will be realized. I’m a little suspect on the last part – I imagine this will be achieved with a small red LED aimed at Superman’s face, but I doubt the lighting can be so specific as it’s shown.

I thought maybe there’d be some battle damage to distinguish the figures from their retail counterparts, but the only differences I saw are that Superman will come with an “angry” head sculpt and a fabric cape instead of a plastic one. This 2-pack will be $50 at San Diego Comic-Con, and will be available on MattyCollector.com on August 5th.

Diamond Select Toys Announces San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Walking Dead Minimates 4-Pack

If you can’t get enough of zombie Minimates, then you’ll want to get to San Diego Comic-Con (or ask a friend) to pick up this exclusive 4-pack of Walking Dead Minimates. Sure, SDCC is a great time for this set, but I think Diamond Select Toys missed an opportunity to release these on Father’s Day – after all, you’ve got crotchety old Hershel and his zombie son Shawn here. Come to think of it, they could have included “gut-shot” Carl in this set to really nail the theme. Arm-chair product management is fun!

The Walking Dead Minimates Return to Hershel’s Farm at SDCC!

At Comic-Con International in 2012, Diamond Select Toys released the first two-pack from their line of The Walking Dead Minimates, based on the best-selling Skybound comic book by Robert Kirkman. The two-pack quickly sold out, and DST swore to top themselves in 2013. Now, with the third full series of Walking Dead Minimates in stores, DST and Skybound are proud to announce a new exclusive four-pack for this year’s Comic-Con!

This year’s Comic-Con exclusive Walking Dead Minimates box set is titled Hershel’s Farm, and it includes four different Minimates based on the famous farmhouse story arc. Included in the set are Hershel, his deceased son Zombie Shawn, Lookout Duty Rick and a Barn Zombie. The Minimates come in a blister-carded four-pack, and each stands 2 inches tall, with a variety of interchangeable parts and accessories, including a pitchfork and a blanket. The set will be limited to only 3000 produced.

The set will be available at the Diamond Select Toys booth, #2607, as well as from various retailers around the show floor. Comic-Con International takes place July 18-21 at the San Diego Convention Center. For more information, visit artasylum.com!

Mezco Toyz Reveals 3rd Summer Exclusive: Cheetara and Snarf Mega Deluxe 2 Pack

New York- As the world of fandom collectively counts down to the July 18th start of San Diego Comic-Con International 2013, Mezco adds fuel to the flames of excitement by revealing the details of one of their Summer Exclusives:

Cheetara and Snarf Deluxe 2 Pack

This mega scale multipack features Cheetara, the Thundarian noble who is as lovely as she is brave and cunning, and Snarf, the much beloved sidekick of the Thundercats.

This exclusive version of Cheetara features glow in the dark eyes; superbly detailed, with 10 points of articulation, perfectly capturing not only the iconic look of Cheetara as she appeared in the classic television series, but the essence of Cheetara as she proudly wields her signature bo staff in defense of her comrades.

Snarf, the comedic yet fiercely loyal sidekick of the ThunderCats, stands a snarfing 5 inches tall (in scale with the rest of Mezco’s ThunderCats Series) and snarfs a snarfity snarf snarf.

Both are packaged together in a collector-friendly window box.

This Mezco Summer Exclusive is a Limited Edition. A limited amount are available online at http://www.mezcotoyz.com/exclusives/, but don’t delay because once they are gone, they are gone forever!
